WHEN HEARTS REMEMBER by Victoria Lum is AVAILABLE NOW
Blurb:
She doesn’t remember her first love. But her brother’s best friend never forgot her.
Two love stories unfold—one in the past, full of stolen moments and reckless devotion, and one in the present, where fate has given them a second chance.
Alexis Vaughn first fell in love with a forbidden stranger through the pages of a secret journal. Their romance burned fast and bright—until a car crash stole her memories and nearly her life. Eight years later, she wakes up from a coma to a world she doesn’t recognize. When her brother’s best friend offers her an internship, she accepts. But something about the brooding, enigmatic billionaire unsettles her.
Ethan Anderson made a promise—to love Alexis even when she forgot him. For years, he’s kept it, watching over her, honoring the dreams she never got to chase. But now that she’s awake, she looks at him with no memories of their past. Pretending that doesn’t shatter him may be the hardest thing he’s ever done.
But as the truth behind her accident unravels and danger closes in, will love be enough to save them this time?
Note: All of Victoria’s books are standalones and can be read out of order.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
When Hearts Remember was phenomenal! Victoria Lum is not an author I am familiar with, but I absolutely loved Ethan and Lexy’s second-chance, amnesia romance!
The story unfolds between chapters set in the past and the present. In the present, Lexy has just woken up from a years-long coma and has no recollection of Ethan, her brother’s best friend and secret boyfriend. Meanwhile, Ethan has been stunted over the past eight years since her accident, unable to move forward with his life. When Lexy awakens, he thinks he will finally get everything his heart has longed for the past eight years… except she has no clue who he is, that they were in love and planning a future together.
The present-day dilemma is set against chapters from the past as Ethan and Alexis/Lexy fall in love. Their romance sweetly starts out exchanging pen pal letters around a New York City library (loved that!) until they eventually move to text messages…. and ultimately discover their mutual connection to her brother, Liam.
I loved going along for this ride. It was messy and chaotic and heartbreaking, and I ate it up. Ethan was so devoted to her, no matter what kept getting tossed at him. And quite a lot was tossed at him! Aside from the wonderful second-chance romance, there is a secondary suspense storyline in this book… I was so happy that Ethan and Alexis were able to rise above the forces trying to keep them apart and that they found their way back to one another in the end!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
