A COWBOY TO REMEMBER by Rebekah Weatherspoon (Book News)

A loose, contemporary riff on Sleeping Beauty, A Cowboy to Remember manages to dodge melodrama and sail over the typical pitfalls of an amnesia plot to offer a truly satisfying take on the trope. Zach is a sweetheart with swagger who winkingly subverts cowboy stereotypes, but is happy to play up the aw shucks image when it’s to his advantage. While his rejection of Evie in their teens led to a decade long estrangement, when her injury brings him back into her life, he’s upfront about their history and careful not to take advantage of her memory loss.

YOU DESERVE EACH OTHER by Sarah Hogle

Margaret Atwood, in her Masterclass intro, smiles gleefully into the camera, “…Little Red Riding Hood. Let’s start the story a different way: ‘It was dark inside the wolf.’”

You Deserve Each Other employs this delightfully disorienting sensibility with a clever twist on the enemies to lovers trope. Here, lovers have become enemies as the romcom begins in the darkness of a relationship spiraling toward self-destruction.
