Forgotten Dream
YESTERDAY'S PROMISES
Mateo Cruz's return to the Santa Ysabel Pueblo was a bitter homecoming. A vicious terrorist attack had robbed him of his memory-and almost cost him his life. And among the memories he'd lost was that of the young love he'd left behind, in a past that was forever out of reach.
Susanna Spencer wanted no part of the past. Even if Mat Cruz had forgotten the pain he'd brought her all those years ago, she hadn't. And there was no room in her life for a man who'd proved that his promises were worthless.
But the past was a tangle of memory and desire, and it wasn't so easily laid to rest .. . .

This was a decent read even if it was heart-tugging and didn't have a traditional HEA in a full sense of the world as far as the heroine and the hurt she had experienced was concerned . The heroine is a mid-wife in the same town where as a 19year old she foolishly gave her virginity & love to our hero, only to be left heart-broken & pregnant & later broken. So, she isn't pleased when the hero comes back to town years later, injured and with his son and daughter. His son reminds her of her son, a son she had to give up and a child he rejected. The hero can't make sense of her utter disdain towards him because he lost his memories in the bomb that killed his wife but the heroine tells him off later on sharing their history with him. Honestly, I didn't like or agree with the hero's choices and I didn't understand why he stayed with his wife if she liked running around him. I felt the heroine had a really sad life and choices and I wish she had had another love or lover in the years the hero was gone. All in all I did like this but this left me with a feeling of sadness. Women tend to suffer more in romances while heroes go scot free without consequences of their actions.
