The basis of this romance is rather interesting. Delanie Carlyle falls in love with Mitchell Riese, the grandson of her client, Donovan Riese. They have a night of passion without Delanie telling Mitchell who she is. The next day, Delanie finds out that Mitchell had come to the reception to denounce this gold digger who had gotten her hooks into his grandfather, and he rejects her horribly. She has an extreme dissociative episode and has an accident, losing about 6-8 weeks worth of her memory. Only problem is, she's pregnant and can't remember how it happened.The romance is quite good, but the why's and how's are somewhat unsatisfactory. First of all, I have a problem with how completely Delanie could decide that Mitchell is "the one" and construct all of these fantasies of their future together in an instant. Then, for her to forget him so completely that it allows months of day-to-day interaction before her memories return. It makes an intriguing story, but is also indicative of a person with a highly fragile mental state. What'll happen when they have their first fight? And I fully expected there to be another employee who was embezzling and had made it look like Delanie was guilty. How could a successful businessman not add up all of the receipts and understand that all of the expenses were legitimate?A good tale, but a few logic holes that bothered me personally. Most people probably would overlook these things.
