Review: Billionaire's Amnesia - Claire Adams

Blurb: 
Being rich opens up the pleasures of the world. 

Women. Cars. Businesses. Money. 

What more could you want? The world is your oyster and you can act like a jerk all you want. No one’s going to say a thing. Why would they? You’re in control. You’re the rising power. 

Until you’re not. 

When Elijah loses his memory from a motorcycle accident, he can't remember anything, including his childhood or anything from his past. 

Apparently, he was a real pain in the ass before he had his accident. 

His older brother and beautiful personal assistant step in to help him form a new life. A better life, but he has so many questions. 

Why doesn't his mother speak with him at all anymore? Why is his brother so docile around him? Why are his employees timid and depressed when he walks in the room. 

Was he really the monster they’re all making him out to be? And even more… will he wake up from his memory loss and become that guy again? 

At the end of the day, what’s important when you've lost everything? 

Nothing but the people who love you and support you. For Elijah… that’s no one. 

But then he meets Kendall. Will she be able to love this man known for only caring for himself? 






God I hate doing this, but I did not like this book at all and I'm having trouble finishing it.

I got 45% of the way through the story so far and there is zero chemistry between the characters. But what gets me the most is the inconsistencies. During a conversation with his brother the morning after their first date, he tells his brother he wants to buy her another dog because her dog died. Meanwhile, in the previous page (literally the page before) she's telling her dog she's falling for him after he had just met her dog! Unless he was speaking and petting a ghost dog, that's impossible.  Her dog was anemic, it didn't die. He references just before his mom and dad died at one point. Meanwhile, earlier in the book his brother was practically begging him to speak to their mother.  Unless he was visiting a medium that would be impossible if she died when their father died.

Harryionaire is not even a word and that was on the first page. Jeff and Stand and Gary and Louise... seriously?  Unless he's speaking of 2 couples, which he was not, there should be commas when speaking people's names, not the word and.

All this added to the way the story goes back and forth between the two characters out f views of the same exact days and instances was giving me a headache. We read his view of a day then in the next chapter we read the same exact day as viewed by her. It's just too confusing. I just couldn't finish this.  I'll try a different book by this author because the plot was intriguing, but the execusion was not. Maybe I'll have better luck next time.
