A Cowboy to Remember

A Cowboy to Remember by Rebekah Weatherspoon, 357 pages

Celebrity chef Evie Buchanan seems to have it made, with a reality show competition win under her belt and a highly rated morning TV show on the air. But when she takes a tumble down the stairs at an industry event, Evie ends up in the hospital with her memory completely missing. Though her friends and agent are supportive, they can't take on her care full time, which is how Evie ends up convalescing at a luxury dude ranch in California--the same dude ranch where she grew up and has some close family friends, though she still can't remember them. Hunky cowboy Zach is one of those she can't remember, though that may be for the best, as she and Zach apparently had a decade-long grudge that has been wiped out with Evie's memory.

I can't say I'm a big fan of amnesia stories, but I do enjoy seeing diversity in mainstream romance, and this book definitely hits that mark perfectly. Yes, these are wealthy people in wealthy circumstances, but the realities of Black life are still in this otherwise-unbelievable story. (And it's still a steamy, emotional romance to boot!)
