Cynthia Eden | Trope: Amnesia (Or…Don’t Forget Me!)

Time for another romance trope round-up! Each month in 2025, I thought I would talk about a favorite romance trope.  This time, I’m chatting about a classic favorite for many…the amnesia trope.  Full confession—I super love this trope. I used it in one of my fav books, REMEMBER RAMSEY. In that romance, the heroine had been attacked, and at the beginning of the book, she had zero clue that she and the anti-hero were hot and heavy lovers.  The poor guy had to completely woo her again…Ah, amnesia romance. I do enjoy those stories!

Corrine Michaels wrote a fabulous amnesia romance, HELP ME REMEMBER. I found this tale to be sexy and swoony, and I thought it held a fun amount of romantic suspense, too.  Plus, it had the added element of utilizing the “brother’s best friend” trope, too—extra awesomeness for the win!

Rebecca Zanetti gave her hero amnesia is her sexy romantic suspense, FORGOTTEN SINS.  He wants the heroine desperately, even if he can’t remember their past together. I love the emotional angst that can come when one partner remembers EVERYTHING, but the other partner is walking through the dark (so to speak!) in the pages of the book. Lots of drama and heat led to a great read.

Do you have a favorite amnesia book? I’d love to hear about it!

Until next time…happy reading!
