Bittersweet Memories by Catharina Maura is a contemporary romance with a second chance and forbidden romance spins. Alanna and Silas meet five years earlier and are both down on their luck and homeless. They fall in love with each other and help each other as they each get through their hardships. Alanna is in an accident and loses her memory, fast forward five years later and Silas who has been looking for her every day since she went missing, finds her but she's dating his younger brother. Bittersweet Memories is an emotional and heartbreaking read. I enjoyed this book but I did find that some parts dragged on a bit, I think the book could have been trimmed down a little and some statements didn't need to be repeated as much as they were. This is my first book I have read by this author and I would try another book. I would give this book 4 stars.
Favorite Excerpt:
He lifts his hand to my face, the tips of his fingers brushing over my lips. “Why is your lipstick smeared?” he asks, his tone low and dangerous.
“I just had lunch,” I whisper.
“With him?”
I nod.
“Don’t do that again. Don’t meet up with him, just the two of you.”
I look into his eyes, trying to figure out what he’s thinking. “Why?” I whisper. “Why do you care so much?”
He cups my cheek, his gaze intense. “Because you’re mine, whether you realize it or not.”
My heart skips a beat as heat rushes to my cheeks, and I look away, flustered. Surely he can’t mean that?
“I’m not a toy for you two to fight over.”
“No,” he agrees. “You’re not a toy, Alanna, but you damn sure are worth fighting for.”
