3.5 stars 
 Okay about 3/4 of the way through with this book I flopped back onto my bed and cracked my skull on my headboard. I'm 90% sure that the stars I'm seeing are related to my rating, but who knows? What I do know is that there was no sexy secret-millionaire bartender to take care of me, which I feel like is a great cosmic injustice. 
 But enough about that, let's talk about the book. 
 This book is like a cute guy you know from work who seems very sweet but a little "off". He keeps asking you out. Not in a creepy way, just in a very polite, respectful, sincere, give-me-a-chance sort of way. And the more persistent he is the more you start to second guess your first instinct that you two would just not work together. But even as your heart opens just a little you're nagged by the thought what will my friends think??? 
 That's the way I feel about this book. I loved parts of it enough to want to give it four or even five solid stars ... but then there were parts of it that annoyed me so much I started to feel embarrassed about liking the book. 
 To begin with: I LOVED the first part of it. Nash and Brody's relationship moves a little fast but is still very believable and INSUFFERABLY CUTE. omg these two, I'm not even kidding ... your teeth will rot. 
 For the most part this works because Brody spends a lot of time perving on oblivious Nash and since Brody is a Good Guy(tm) it comes off as adorably slapstick instead of creepy. 
 It also works because you know what's coming (or you would if you read the blurb that is). You know Nash's memories are going to "reset" and there will be angst, possibly melodrama, pain, struggle, tears, etc. 
 I admit, if I didn't know that I probably would not have been able to handle a book where a grown man gives the love of his life both his fake-virginity (memory loss kiddies) and a PUPPY as gifts for his birthday. I mean that's a little much in the sweetness department. Bring me my insulin. 
 I should hate it, but I ate it up *lol* with both hands ... and then shoved my face in to lick the bowl 
 The second half on the other hand ... by this point Nash has already switched and Brody has decided to take a job as his bodyguard so that he can watch over him. This plot line was very appealing and started off pretty well done. I was impressed that Brody and Nash developed a slightly mean-spirited banter, I liked the sexual tension, but it went on far too long. I get that the author is trying to show Brody's determination slowly being worn down by Nash's acidic personality, but I don't think the impact of that was worth wearing down the reader's patience. 
 There were a few too many author-indulgent scenes where nothing really important happens, where Brody and Nash do something cute and/or sexy but neither one of them really changes their approach to the other as a result. 
 This is another one of those books where the plot (ie Pretty Woman if Richard Gere had Amnesia and Jason Alexander was much more of a psycho) is just there to give the characters something to do when they're not behaving like petulant children or eyefucking each other. You know the score: someone will flirt with an innocent bystander to make the other jealous, someone will get an eye-opening speech from a wise minor character (or three as the case may be), someone will try to sacrifice himself for their ~true love~. I can deal with all that, I just couldn't deal with it on a lather-rinse-repeat setting, which is what this book felt like by the end. 
 On the other hand it did make me cry ^_^ 
 ...Or maybe that was the concussion.
