My Review:
Okay, did you read that story description above?? This book is just as good and funny as it sounds in that description. OMG, this was such a fun book!! I absolutely adore Dakota Cassidy's sense of humor!
Ella's soon-to-be ex husband ended up with a case of amnesia after he mysteriously showed up with a softball sized knot on his head. As werewolfs, mates normally are not allowed to divorce, but the Pack needs Crosby to get his memory back (although they aren't telling Ella why) and have agreed to give her the divorce if she will simply help him regain his memory. The problem is that Ella truly loved her husband until he suddenly started changing into a secretive, withdrawn jerk a few months ago... and then she caught him kissing another woman. Now he has amnesia, doesn't remember their problems or the fact that they were even married, and worse, is the same guy again that she fell in love with.
Ella is funny. She's bitter and sad and doesn't want to give Crosby an inch. At the same time, she is acting as his nurse and can't let on anything about his history so that he remembers it naturally and doesn't do anymore damage to himself. She is working so hard to maintain her detachment, but that is next to impossible because Crosby is back to his charming self. He knows that he may not know who she is, but that doesn't change that he wants her and is trying to woo her.
In addition to this being simply a fun, entertaining story, there is also a lot of suspense in this which really surprised me. Obviously, there is more going on with Crosby than Ella ever knew, but OMG, I did not see the twists and turns coming. Brilliantly done although I do think that the wrap-up was a bit abrupt. I would have preferred to have had just a bit more to the finale, but overall I am soooo glad that I read this book and will definitely be re-reading it again!!

I LOVE the Dakota Cassidy "Accidental" series. Nina is one of my all time favorite characters. But this book?????? Seriously, 90% of this book is them having graphic sex. I have never seen the four letter "C" word for a woman's private part used so much in a book. On one page alone, I counted that word 5 times. And that was just one page!! That particular word is used throughout the whole book as well as other graphic words. I enjoy romance and a bit of erotica in books,but if I wanted a hard core porn, I would buy one. I read the reviews from others on this book, and since it had good reviews I bought it. I bought one other outside of the "accidental" series and was disappointed, but figured it was a fluke, and it was just me that did not care for it. Well, I will not make the mistake of buying any other books not in the series. I would not read it if it was free. I expect a story line in my books. Not this. If you took out all the sex, you would maybe have a 50 page story. No thanks. Sorry Ms. Cassidy, you lost a reader.

Another humourous book from Cassidy. In this one, we have an amnesiac were-wolf who has been placed in the care of his estranged wife. As is usual with Cassidy, there are crazy situations and plenty of humour, plus, of course, the requsite HEA.

A short romantica (a romance and erotica novel combined). If you like Dakota Cassidy's Accidentals series you'll like this book.

Get ready for ear to ear grins and giggles because this story has so many clever quips, one-liners and sparky dialogue, that I was hard pressed to put it down. In fact, I couldn't stop reading because the heroine was incredibly funny, and her comments so surprising and snarky, my curiosity would not let me.
As soon as I saw the title, I had to check out the blurb. It was that combination that helped me choose this book to read. What kept me reading was the back and forth dialogue between Ella, the heroine and Nash, the hero, in the first chapter. It reminded me a bit of Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn which is classic. It also triggered my 'fun-o-meter' and I settled in for what I hoped to be a good story. I assure readers, it was. I had a ball and laughed out loud many times.
Ella is a shrink and she's tasked with helping her soon-to-be ex-husband get his memory back. One of the absolutely adorable things she does with him and to him is making him watch T.V. Seems Nash was a whole different man when he had his memories and the story read like Ella was making him do things she always wanted him to do with her but he never had the time or made the time to do them. In a way, it was sad. They're simple and small things but when we're talking relationships, those little things can carry a lot of weight.
Nash was fun. It was awesome to finally find a guy with amnesia who really didn't stress or have tons of emotional angst about his loss of name or memory. The author put that burden on some of the other characters. The hero was a treat in that he kicked back and enjoyed the freedom he felt. And part of that enjoyment was getting in on with Ella. He couldn't get enough of her and was quite inexhaustible. The 'how' of losing his memory was funny but the 'why' of it was part of the drama and suspense that simmered underneath all the fun and spunky frolic.
I enjoyed Ella's being a sexual waffle. By that I mean that she wanted to resist Nash but she couldn't. She wanted to hate him, but she couldn't. Instead, she wants to eat him up like ice cream and starts to fall in love with him all over again. How is she ever going to get on with her life and let him go when he's so delicious and wonderful and everything she wanted? Especially because the man she's falling for doesn't remember her . or does he? I got a kick out of the things the author chose to trigger Nash's memories. They were sweet, hot and oh, so romantic.
The ultimate conflict is fascinating. Turns out the author sets up a few red herrings early on with a few ambiguous remarks by some of the secondary characters and they kept me riveted. I didn't suspect the truth until the author wanted me to. And there was no way I'd ever figure out the final revelation in a million years. It was powerful and made for an awesome wrap up and heightened happily ever after.

Overview
"I'm a what?""A werewolf."
"A werewolf who can't remember he's a werewolf because he has amnesia."
That pretty much sums it up. The timing couldn't be worse, too. Just when the pain of booting her asshat of a husband to the curb has started to lessen, Ella gets stuck babysitting his hairy amnesiac ass. Well . . . she is a psychiatric nurse, after all. In exchange for helping Crosby rediscover his inner werewolf, Ella has the pack's word she'll be granted a divorce. She'll be free to move on. Maybe continue the ...
