Rate this book
Will Jalissa remember her past in time to secure her future?

When Jalissa wakes up from her 18-month coma with no recollection of who she is or her past, she quickly comes face to face with a handsome stranger named Justin. Her attraction to him is instant, and when he tells her that she’s his fiance, Jalissa wonders why he can’t quite meet her eyes. Despite her body’s potent awareness of his, Jalissa is determined to regain her memories and the secrets of their past.

For the last year, Justin hoped for Jalissa’s full recovery and pondered her reaction when she learned of the things he’d done while she was comatose. However, when Jalissa awakes with no memory of their tumultuous relationship, Justin is certain fate has given him a chance for them to start over. He has resolved to rewrite their history: keep all the good and erase the doubts.

Faced with their budding relationship, Justin begins to wonder what the fallout for his choices will be when Jalissa’s memories return.

Pretty Darn Good 👍

This was the first book I've read from this author( I believe). And I must say I really enjoyed it. There wasn't an abundance of sex scenes( which I liked). It had a real story line. So I may go back and read the other books in this series

Well those of you who have read my reviews know don't just give out a five star rating. A book gotta earn that 5 and this book sure enough did. This book in one is a man having the strength and courage to fight for his family. Justin was the true star of this series really he was. So Julissa has just awaken from a year in coma she doesn't have any memory of who she is other then she has two best friends and a fiance. The premise was great the execution was even better and definitely kept me on the edge. Like that the book get right in there and puts right smack in Julissa struggling with getting better and not knowing who she is. I really liked both characters and sometimes read stories that doesn't always happen.

Updated-What I would say is a con for me is that I would of liked to see Julissa and Justin relationship pre accident the book would give little teaser when Justin would have flashbacks but i just would of liked more. Let me state now I haven't read the second book yet so if there is more of their relationship in book two let me again preface I have not read that one. I'm not going to spoil this you gotta read this gem for yourself. Now I have to go read book two lol.

Falling in love while dealing with amnesia...

This is the my first exposure to this author...

I liked the author's pacing of story, as information was revealed about the main characters, while Jalissa recovered from her coma and reestablished her life.

The slight suspence the author created as Jalissa encountered information from her past, learned more about the person she was (before the amnesia), and solidified her post trauma identity ... was a pleasant read.

I was rooting for Justin to reconnect with Jalissa while unsure about what information he was keeping from her. The author keeps us guessing about the nature of the lie Justin told, leaving us unsure about how angry to be at him for lying to her.

The book ending surprised me; which I liked a lot. I plan to read more work from this author in the future.

What happens when you wake up to find you have no memory of the people in your life? Jalissa awakened to just such a problem. To make matters worse she had a fiance named Justin who seemed determined to make her remember him. I loved how the story pulled you in feeling what Jalissa and Justin was feeling. I liked that secret's that had the power to destroy or hurt were not held back for some great moment in the story instead they were introduced slowly till we the reader felt we were a part of what was happening. I loved that time was taken in bringing the H and h to a place of understanding. Will they make it? Can she trust him? Can he trust her to truly love him and why would that be a problem in the first place? I enjoyed reading this book.

The author did a great job of writing a clean romance. The book is the third in the Anderson series and Jalissa and Justin are the main characters. Jalissa experiences an accident that leaves her comatose. The story picks up when she wakes up from her coma. There were a lot of secrets in this story that make it interesting, but I wish there was a little more focus on developing the romance between the hero and heroine. I loved how Justin was a fighter no matter the situation and that Jalissa was willing to show support when needed. The story also allows the reader to catch up with the characters from book 1 & 2 of this series, which is great. Overall great title and wonderful way to wrap up this series.

There's a lot going on in this book but I wasn't quite prepared for the big reveal. I'm
not quite sure about the way Jalissa handled her situation and Justin was just as bad. I can't say more without dropping spoilers. I just found his behaviour and hers utterly unrealistic. There were a lot of unanswered questions as well. Who burned down the family restaurant? And the nanny from hell. Have we seen the last of her, cause her mind of crazy just doesn't slink off to lick her wounds. All in all the book was okay.

Jalissa and Justin

Imagine waking up, and have no clue of who you are, who the people surrounding you are? All she knows is what they told her, and they cannot tell her much either because that can compromise her recovery.
Justin, is in a dilemma... he is hoping that life has given them a second chance. Now, will Jalissa and Justin get their happily ever after? Or is it going to be a whole different chapter?
If you want to know, get your copy and follow them on their journey!
love this series!

Jalissa has been my favorite character in this series. I was not disappointed with her story. Jalissa’s accident sparked an unanticipated change in who we thought she was. I loved that Justin was taken with and what he went through to protect what was most important. I did wish that the things between Justin and his dad was tidied up better. That said this was a wonderful read. I was in Jalissa and Justin’s corner the entire book.

Good read

This wasn’t bad. I didn’t foresee what happened to Jalissa, but it explains a lot. This definitely makes you think. I will definitely read something else by this author.

If you are looking for hard and fast romance with a ton of sex, then this book is not the one for you, but try not to count it out yet. Jalissa has just come out of a year and a half long coma to find she has lost all her memories and is apparently engaged, go figure. As she re-acclimated to back into society she struggles over the secrets that are both in her past and that of her fiancé, Justine. Not only is this a sweet heart warming romance, but one of mystery, and self discovery, because in the end she is trying to answer the question many have asked over life times 'Who am I'. I highly encourage you to read this book, it's one that holds your attention, and can be read as a stand alone despite their being books before.

Book 3 in Anderson Sisters series, can be read as a standalone. When Jalissa wakes up from a coma after 18 months, she doesn't remember anything about her past. With time her memories will return but right now it seems that the people who say they love her are keeping secrets. Especially her fiancé Justin, who is a stranger to her. When the truth comes out, will Jalissa be strong enough to handle it? Can Justin get her to fall in love with him again?
Realistic emotions, actions/reactions. Good descriptive details in settings. Interesting cast. Simmering chemistry and passionate love scenes. Multilayered characters. A great story with meaningful interactions, some drama, conflict and a man who doesn't give up on the woman he loves. An entertaining weekend read! 5 stars

Love & faith can weather any storm.

This book was such a great read! When Jalissa woke from her coma, Justin was determined to take care of her and their son Sebastian regardless what anyone thought. But Jalissa couldn't remember him OR their son. This book had some wild twists and crazy shenanigans! There were multiple times I wanted to scream to Justin "WAKE UP!" Yes that man was blind to the mess going on right under his nose. Smh. And then more shockers! This author had me up all night until I read the whole book in one sitting. Yes, its that great! I was sooo happy to read their HEA. So beautiful! No spoilers. But this couple so deserved every good thing that came their way. And Sebastian was such a love!! This book was amazing! 5 ⭐'s for sure.

This is the 3rd book in the Anderson Sisters series. This is Justin and Jalissa's story.
She has just woken up from an 18 month coma. All she knows is what people around are telling her. Is it the truth? Are they hiding something?
This Justin says he's her fiance, is he? Will her memory come back? Has she been told any lies? Will she get her HEA?
Imagine waking up, and have no clue of who you are, who the people surrounding you are? All she knows is what they told her, and they cannot tell her much

My favorite!

This one is my favorite in this series maybe of all the books I've read by this author so far. Love Jalissa's character development and growth throughout the story. The conflict was realistic and believably resolved. This couple definitely earned their HEA and it was an enjoyable journey to read about.
Looking forward to more by this author.

Claiming Love ❤️

Oh my! The suspense of Jalissa coming out of her coma after 18 months to find out, to her surprise that she was a mother and her memory had not returned. She relied on the love, patience and words of her fiancé to help her recover! But Justine has secrets of his own which he reluctantly doesn’t want to surface about their engagement! Truly a wonderful read!🦋
