For under 100 pages, this was a very nice “bite-sized” romance! It's about a man and a woman – Max and Tori – who were a couple while they were in college, but since Max decided he wasn't good enough for his family, let alone the woman who loved him, he just up and leaves...everything.Fast-forward 7 years, and you now have a matured Max and Tori, who now goes by Victoria. Well, Max comes back to town for the sole purpose of gaining his inheritance to start a dream of his own, but to gain that capital, he has to work a year minimum in the family business.Once we find out his reasoning as to why he left everyone in his life all those years ago, you do feel bad for the guy, but that still doesn't let him off the hook for not giving Victoria a reason. And, since Victoria is still living in the same area, she's hired on as Max's image consultant by his mother...who still has fond feelings for Victoria, and obviously wishes that they could rekindle their relationship. Which is something different, since it seems in any relationship, the mother-in-law is the one the girlfriend usually has to jump thru hoops to get on their good side, so that's a nice change, haha!I liked seeing the flirty banter between the two of them, and respected Victoria for being professional about the whole thing, because in real life, working for/with an ex, wouldn't be an easy task!!“Better as a Memory” was a very nice second-chance story, and I think a lot of women who read this can relate to it, because I'm sure a lot of us have been in a relationship where their partner just vanishes without a “real” or good enough reason.Can Ms. Baxter write us all a happy ending like Victoria got? :)
