Summary: 

After a car accident, Alaina Rutger can't remember her husband or their newly adopted baby. But her amnesia also means she's forgotten the disaster they made of their marriage.

Her husband, Porter, knows he's made mistakes. Now he'll do whatever it takes to rebuild the family he nearly lost—even keep their near-divorce from his wife. This Christmas he'll convince Alaina to stay. But will a secret she's kept for years resurface and put them to the ultimate test?

Review:

I grabbed this because I needed some Xmas books on my shelf...plus there are a lot of tropes going along with this so why not? Plus....pretty much got it for freeee. 

Here we follow Alaina and Porter. They were in a car accident and Alaina lost her memories. She can't remember her husband and their newly adopted baby. This also means she has forgotten the disaster her marriage turned into. Porter made mistakes and he wants to fix them. He'll do whatever it takes...even keeping their near-divorce a secret from his wife. He'll make her refall in love with him for Christmas. 

2nd chances are sooo hit-an-miss for me. I hate when people lie too. I knew this would be a gamble for me BUT I wanted to take it. Sometimes I win....sometimes I lose. 

Sadly, I lost this gamble. 

I did "finish" the story, but I did so much skimming that I am having a hard time not calling this a DNF. I just wanted the secret out and for them to build their love. Silly lies all over the place. Lots of silly stuff. JUST COMMUNICATE DAMMIT. 

I don't see a bright future for them. They are immature. That poor baby. 

BUT the ending was sweet. So I'll stick with 2 stars for this one.
