Every day that I wake up I’m in a fog. Before ten years ago I feel like I didn’t exist. Everything I knew had been erased. Some days I wish I had bad memories because even those would be better than none at all. Instead, I feel like I’m a character in a storybook, merely acting a role. I don’t know why, but none of it feels real. That’s crazy. Right? Still, I can’t shake the feeling that everyone is hiding something from me. Even the man that lies next to me at night feels like a stranger. I just want to feel like I belong in my own skin. In addition to its chart-topping debut, the song was Brooks' first number one single on Billboard since " To Make You Feel My Love" in 1998 (see 1998 in country music), and was also his last number one single, until " Ask Me How I Know" hit number one on the Country Airplay chart in December 2017. After its debut week, "More Than a Memory" fell to number 8, and after slipping to number 10, it began to climb, eventually rebounding to number 2 for the chart weeks of December 8 and 15 before falling out of the top 10. The song spent a total of 20 weeks on Hot Country Songs. The song also debuted at number 73 on the Hot 100 for the chart week of September 15, 2007, [1] peaking at number 53. SHANE BRADEN Memories are never forgotten. Or so it’s said, but she did. She forgot herself, me–us. She forgot everything. One day I woke up and there was only pain. This pain so fierce that I can’t overcome it alone. My heart was ripped out of my chest. I’m surviving, but barely. Not even the physical outlet I seek, to purge the torment of remembering the one I can’t let go, helps anymore. In all of his agony, what if the worst of his pain has yet to be expelled? A secret that could have changed everything . . . had he known. WHITNEY LANE Every day that I wake up I’m in a fog. Before ten years ago I feel like I didn’t exist. Everything I knew had been erased.

More Than Memories by N.E. Henderson – eBook Details Sweetheart, you can call me Dad, or you can call me Shane. Whatever you want to call me is perfectly fine with me. But you are not in trouble. It’s fine that you know. I wanted you to know.”

The book is beautifully written, in dual POV and kept me on my toes with each heartfelt word. A story full of drama, love, suspense, betrayal, that captivated me and made me ache along with the characters. I didn’t expect that it will be such a combination of feelings – sadness and joy, hope, hate(some people do terrible things for money and some are plain crazy). But I do enjoy a story in which the power of love overcomes the imaginable and ends with a ‘foreverly after’. I know you’ve already been accepted into the fellowship program, but have you considered with everything that’s happened, maybe it’s too much to take on right now?” He holds up his hand before I get a chance to say anything. “Just hear me out.” We stare at each other for a few seconds before I nod for him to continue. “What about coming home for a year or two? Peds is where your heart is. I get that, just as it is for your mom. Go into general practice instead of the surgical fellowship. Just for now, what about joining your mom’s practice when you complete your residency in June?” More Than a Memory" is a song written by Lee Brice, Billy Montana, and Kyle Jacobs and recorded by American country music artist Garth Brooks. It was released on August 27, 2007 as his 51st single and first single from his third compilation album The Ultimate Hits. The song peaked at number 53 on the Billboard Hot 100, and debuted at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, the first song to do so in the chart's history, and becoming his first number one since " To Make You Feel My Love" in 1998. Blake’s harassing her and I want it to stop. I want him out of her life, Jacob. There has to be something—anything—that can be done to get him out of her life and out of Emersyn’s. He’s using their daughter to get to her.”I love you.” I’ve never been shy or uncomfortable telling her those words, and since her memory has returned, I can’t stop them from flowing out of my mouth. I push off the chair, coming to a stand, and then I march my way inside to find out why the hell she hasn’t told me before now.

Turning my head, I realize he must have been calling me. “Sorry, Dad. I was lost in my own world,” I tell him, shaking my head. I was instantly hooked on their story and fully invested from the prologue alone. This was a powerful and highly emotional second chance romance.The romance was a slow burn, and deliciously angsty. I really loved Shane and Whitney together. They were memorable and highly developed characters with plenty of layers. Admittedly, while I love angst, there were some twists that were thrown in that felt a little OTT on the drama department and read almost like a soap. Don't get me wrong, I typically gobble that shit up with a spoon and beg for more. But with the way things unravel at the end, it just felt like a bit much. A little less drama and a little more angst and emotion would have sufficed for me. But obviously you can't please every reader. When everything you know about yourself is a lie, how do you even begin to find the truth? Who do you trust when your memories betray you?

This book was wonderful and I know I don't give much in the review but I don't want to give away anything. Even the smallest clue may not give you the reading experience you will get from this novel. This sight does something to me. It makes me proud and tells me how blessed I am. I know Shawn is a great guy and a good brother. He’s hard to handle, and Taralynn is probably the only woman in the world who can handle him. But people have always had to earn his love or friendship. Even Taralynn had to prove to him that he was worthy of her love. I say that, but now I wonder if he’s actually accepted it. They seem fine. They look fine. But looks can be deceiving. All I can do is pray because this sight right here gives me a glimpse as to what kind of dad I hope he’ll be one day. These kids—my kid—didn’t have to earn anything. He loved them from the moment I brought them into his house. I'm giving it a 5* because I can honestly say I don't think it needed anything more adding or there was nothing that detracted from the story and was pointless. The characters emotions and views came across so naturally and the ending gave closure.Tropes or Themes: Second Chance Romance, Childhood Friends, Best Friends, Found Family, Memory Loss, Pregnancy, Death, Lies, Deception, Suspenseful, Past & Present Of course, the two lost soulmates aren't being kept away by fate, but rather by intervening parents and a man who hides his obsession a little too well. It's a story about wealth and expectations and neither has room for true love. Whitney and Shane have an unlikely opportunity to be together every day, but it's driven by Whitney's obsessive husband and the need to protect Whitney and her children rather than by romance. The reader can feel the connection between the two, but we're gifted with a view of the dark and suspenseful reality thanks to Henderson's writing. We get to see that things aren't just happy, as Whitney's husband's texts increase and as one of her daughters begins to fear her visits. Henderson makes the story feel real, like you too are constantly on the look out for when someone will burst in and take the dream away.

Of course you can.” I grab her wrist, pulling her into another hug. “There’s nothing in the world that would make me happier.” And now having my own family here, it’s another feeling entirely. Whitney may not be my wife yet, and one day she will be, but she is my family—the girls too. I couldn’t imagine what it would feel like if I were to lose them after just gaining them. I absolutely fell in love with this book right from the start even though it broke my heart in places!

Her parents had other plans for her that I wasn’t supposed to be a part of. They used her amnesia to steal her from me, her friends, the life she wanted, the future we had planned.
