Hannah Althorp realizes that her boss, Jack Marshall,'s fiancée can never make him happy, and when she sees Felicia jerking off her lover at the engagement party(!), she resolves to make sure he knows it too. Only before she can Jack gets his on the head by a falling tile at work and loses consciousness and 6 weeks of his memory! Conveniently enough this includes the entire romance with Felicia so Hannah resolves to keep him away from his engagement until he can be reasoned with - somewhat less conveniently the hospital finds out that he has a fiancée so to keep them from calling her Hannah pretends that she's it!
Jack's so eager to get himself discharged from the hospital that he doesn't think much of this until they get to the cabin she is taking him to for the weekend to relax (dr's orders to take things easy since he was concussed) when he starts talking about how he's always wanted her, etc., etc., thoroughly surprising Hannah who is far from young model type he usually dates. Hannah tries to convince Jack they should keep their "relationship" on a platonic footing until he gets his memory back, but encouraged by Jack's approval she's finding her reserve about sex (entrenched by her newly ex-husband who did a job on her self confidence) melting away. Will they hook up? What will happen when Jack suddenly remembers his fiancée and everything else?
This is a great book - it takes place in the course of just one weekend (well Friday to Monday really) but Jack and Hannah have been working together for over a year so their relationship doesn't feel sudden or out of the blue. The two of them are good together too, and it's great to see Jack discovering he can have more of a life than work and meaningless sex. He and Hannah discover an orphaned baby possum (apparently an endangered species?) and learn to bottle feed it from a neighbor, making Jack realize he could actually want to be a father - something I didn't really need as Hannah has two teens from a previous marriage who are at boarding school and I always like it when romance novel couples make the earth-shattering decision not to bring more children into the world but... And I also appreciated that, although Hannah's ex has treated her badly, he wasn't written off as a complete villan, and he and Hannah can continue to share custody of their kids in a civil arrangement. Recommended.
