I picked this up expecting a cozy romance, but holy cow—it unraveled into a heart-stopping thriller!S.E. Barnes Douglas completely hooked me with Cynthia and Andrew’s meet-cute at the beginning.I couldn’t put it down during the second half. If you like romance with a heavy side of pulse-pounding tension, grab this immediately!

Can we talk about Mason Gales in Memory of Love? Talk about an absolute chill down the spine…The book starts out super wholesome. Total power couple goals. Then Mason shows up. At first, he’s just this weirdly quiet guy, but the way his obsession creeps up on Cynthia is terrifyingly realistic.

Psychological thriller and romance are my two favorite genres and having both in one book is a 5 star for me. I finished this in three nights because I needed to know if their marriage would survive the storm. Don’t worry I am not going to spoil the story for anyone. Anyway, it was worth reading. I love it.
