Before We Were Us

A sweet, cozy, second-chance romance

By: Denise Hunter

Narrated by: Kim Churchill

She can't remember. He can't forget. How did Lauren's number one nemesis, Jonah, become her adoring boyfriend? Can Jonah convince Lauren to remember why she wanted to stay? Love is complicated in this cozy and wholesome, small-town amnesia romance with a big-city girl and her resort co-worker. Perfect for fans of The Vow and Debbie Macomber.

When Lauren Wentworth wakes up in the hospital after falling from a ladder, she has more questions than answers. Way more. She knows where she is--the wilds of New Hampshire. But she's apparently lost the last four months of her life. Is she really contemplating forfeiting her big-city dream job for a position at a rustic resort? And how did her number one nemesis become her adoring boyfriend?

Jonah Landry is crushed to learn Lauren has forgotten their entire summer together. Terrified of losing her for good, he determines to help her remember their deep connection as she finishes her obligation to the resort. But soon it becomes apparent Lauren doesn't want to remember falling in love with him or rethinking the entire course of her career. She wants to pretend the summer never happened and move on with her life. Without him.

As Lauren falls back into the steady routines of resort work with Jonah, she's relieved her memories haven't returned and remains resolute about her big-city future. But as autumn leads into winter, she begins to see glimpses of the Jonah she's forgotten. Will she be able to resist the steady love of this patient man? Or is her heart destined for its own freefall?

If you are moved by stories of hope, second chances, and finding yourself again in someone else's eyes, let Before We Were Us carry you away. This friction-to-romance love story features the most steadfast of heroes, allowing you to lose yourself in Jonah and Lauren's world. Pick up a copy and see if love, even when forgotten, can surprise you into believing again.

romance and amnesia? yes, please

Oh, man. I feel like such a sap. I binge-listened to this and loved every moment. I love the premise- the amnesia. Throw in the best epilogue ever and you've got a win! I loved this story! the performance is excellent!

The story idea

I liked the narrator and that’s important. Her performance strategy delivered the scenes well! The writer has had my attention for years

believable story line

I loved the past and present story line. I also loved the fact that there weren't any unrealistic actions within the story (other that a quick proposal). also love the narrator..and I'm hard to please.

Wonderful,heartfelt story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It's such a heart felt,heart wrenching story. Well written and I really enjoyed the voice actor she's really talented! It's funny she's just about how imagine the FMC would have sounded if she were real.

So good!

Loved this book! It ended happily but didn’t get there the way that you would expect!
