Recommendation
This book blasted me right out of the book funk I have been in! It is a grimy gang drama with all the elements done right! There is amnesia, underhanded deals, double crosses, lies, and revenge. The chemistry between the main characters is hot and intense. Even the subplot was amazing, Bishop suffers from a mental illness. Instead of using the tired “love cures all” narrative, you see him have the nerve to step back, seek professional help, and do the work to improve his health. This book has definitely earned a place on my permanent shelf.
Excerpts
“I was yours. Once. Now?” Bishop swallowed, tasting despair, fucking bitter on his tongue. And the words, they just kept tumbling out. “Now, I’m nothing to you, and you don’t even know what that means. You don’t know that every time you look at me with emptiness in your eyes I die a little. You don’t know that you’re the one killing me.”
“I bit off way more than I could chew with you,” Bishop told him softly. “But I liked you in my mouth. I kept you on my tongue. And you drove me crazy, but you always knew what I liked.”
Publisher synopsis
A relationship built on one man’s obsession…
Theirs was a connection that began and ended in the shadows. A bullet stole it away, setting two men adrift. Bishop waits in the darkness for light to shine once more, while Eddie is left with no way to describe just what he needs when he has everything his heart should desire.
In the span of time between that gunshot and now, they’ll meet again and again. One oblivious, the other fighting his crooked nature to earn back the memories they made. And the life that should’ve been theirs.
Remember Me is a standalone M/M romance with stalking, amnesia, mental illness, and found family themes.
