Bramson Brothers #2
Million-Dollar Amnesia Scandal
An accident left April Fairchild with no memory, ownership of a multimillion-dollar hotel and the nagging sense something wasn't quite right in herlife. It also brought her intensely sexy businessman Seth Kentrell, whose late brother had left her the property. Seth believed her a gold digger—and how could April deny it, when she couldn't even remember her name? Now Seth was ready to play hardball to get the hotel back.
But April knew enough to refuse to sign over the property until her memory returned. And if that meant Seth needed to persuade her…well, that was something she could enjoy! At least until the whole truth came out….

MILLION-DOLLAR AMNESIA SCANDAL is a Mills & Boon Desire presentation by Australian Author Rachel Bailey.
We were briefly introduced to Seth Kentrell, previously in Rachel Bailey’s At the Billionaire’s Beck and Call, where he and his step-brother, the hero Ryder Bramson were clashing over the chairmanship of the company their late father split between them.
The Book Blurb reads:
Truth, Lies and Seduction...
An accident left April Fairchild with no memory, ownership of a multi-million dollar hotel and the nagging sense something wasn't quite right in her life. It also brought her intensely sexy businessman Seth Kentrell, whose late brother had left her the property. Seth believed her a gold digger - and how could April deny it, when she couldn't even remember her name? Now Seth was ready to play hardball to get the hotel back.
But April knew enough to refuse to sign over the property until her memory returned. And if that meant Seth needed to persuade her... well, that was something she could enjoy! At least until the whole truth came out...
My Review:
April Fairchild wakes up in hospital eight days after the accident in which Seth’s younger brother perished. She had no recollection of anything, not even her name.
Seth believes she is faking as she is now the owner of one of his hotel which his dead brother left her.
He whisks her off to The Lighthouse Hotel to help jog her memory. Staying in such close proximity to April tests his self-control as there is the acknowledged attraction between them which in April’s words, “…is problematic!”
It’s problematic for Seth because April could’ve been his dead brother’s lover and problematic for April, because she can’t remember!
And Seth had the added tension to have the hotel transferred back to the company so he could have ammunition to fight for the company’s chairmanship, while April declined to sign it over because she couldn’t remember why she wanted it in the first place.
This couple deserved their happy ending because each of them in their own way was strong, strong enough to endure whatever came their way. It’s as much a story about recovering from grief and self-discovery as it is about the unquenchable desire between Seth and April. This is a story I thoroughly enjoyed, it kept me turning pages late into night with its captivating blend of drama, passion, emotional tension, intrigue and romance.
MILLION-DOLLAR AMNESIA SCANDAL is fast-paced and feel-good romance that sparkles with red-hot sensuality, mesmerizing emotion and intense passion.
It’s a wonderfully written and richly layered love story from author Rachel Bailey.
Note: although this book is linked to earlier books, it stands alone - you don't need to have read the other books to be able to read this one.

Reviewed for The Romanceaholic
Sometimes a girl just needs to read a good old fashioned, melodrama filled Harlequin Romance! This book was exactly what I was in the mood for. There was amnesia, family drama, distrust, angst, and of course, hot romance.
What worked for me:
* I do love a good amnesia story. Sure, they’re implausible, especially if you know much about the medical field, but who cares? Most people I know who read fiction do so because it’s just that: fiction. I like to suspend my disbelief and transport myself to a world where amnesia is common after car accidents, and that memory will always return at the most opportune (or inopportune, as it were) moment.
* Whoowhee this was a steamy story! I loved the chemistry and immediate attraction between Seth and April. The UST was nice and tasty, especially since both struggled valiantly to keep a tight rein on their hormones.
* I loved that there was just the right enough of angst without getting ridiculous. With April unable to remember anything before waking up in the hospital, and Seth’s sordid family history, both were very slow to trust and even slower to give into any feelings they were developing.
What didn’t work for me:
* Okay so the title is a bit cheesy. It’s Harlequin Desire; a cheesy title is part of the fun in a category romance!
Overall this was a quick, sexy read without being too heavy to be enjoyable. With weather starting to warm up, this book is a great way to pass time by the pool.
3.5/5 Stars

I really enjoyed this book. April wakes up in the hospital, with no memory. She doesn't even remember the person that she is suppose to call mom. How can anyone forget their own mom? The accident that caused her memory loss also took Seth's brother. His brother died with no will. Moments before the accident happened, he signed over one of his hotels to April. Seth wants it back. I thought he would be a jerk. But he wasn't. He helped April through her recovery, and the chemistry between the two burned hot. He was patient, and allowed time for her memory to come back. I loved the way he always seemed to have April's best interest at Heart. He wanted his hotel, but he also really cared, and later on fell in love with April. This was a sweet, short story.

Another Harlequin novel that wasn't as bad as I expected. The characters were well-formed with lots of internal struggles. The plot was believable. Well, as believable as an amnesia plotline can be! ;)

A nice little amnesia story. There wasn't any angst and not a whole lot of character development. Not great writing, not poor writing. Went along nicely but nothing to really rave about.

Я хотела почитать что-то лёгкое после GK. Но не настолько же!! Кошмар, в общем, смешной, но кошмар.xDD

I liked the characters and the steamy moments but the context of their relationship and the plot didn't do much for me. It was a short and sweet read but not exactly riveting or anything.
