This book is a heck of a page-turner. I really enjoyed it. The premise is fresh - I'd never heard of that kind of memory loss before - but familiar enough for readers of Kerry's other book. I thought the ending with all of its twists was a little confusing. For me, personally, it either needed one more to resolve everything or a few less. I had trouble following how they all fit together to see exactly what the ending was. But I enjoyed every minute of the book.

If given the chance, would you delete your memories? I loved this book and found it very thought provoking well past the last page. Highly recommend!

This was my first Kerry Lonsdale book and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I can't wait to check out some of her other books.

I was fascinated by the premise -- Ella woke up in the hospital, unable to remember the car accident that got her there and the pregnancy she lost. The story is Ella's quest to figure out what happened to her. Her husband is acting sketchy and her friends are no help.

I don't want to give too much of the plot away -- it has a little romance, a little mystery and some twists and turns. After I finished, I sat - slack-jawed - for several minutes. Big thanks to NetGalley for letting me get a sneak preview!

When Ella wakes in hospital she can't remember the accident that was the cause of her losing her unborn child. Actually she can't remember being pregnant! Her husband Damien is by her side but seems reluctant to answer her questions!
After her recovery she's asked to do an article on Nathan. But it seems Nathan might hold the answers to Ella's memory loss!! Read on....
Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for allowing me to read this arc.

What a roller coaster ride! Hold on to your hats as you navigate this book.

When the book first started and we find out that Ella has lost all memory of the past 7 months. Damien her husband helps her to move past the accident and the death of their son, or so you think.
Nathan tries to help her to remember him and what the shared.
Good luck unraveling this story. I would REALLY like a sequel! I NEED to know what happens when dhe uncovers the entire truth!

I read this book, synopsis unread, loving all of the works by Kerry Lonsdale. Last Summer was not what I expected.. I found the subject of memory suppression fascinating. While the story had many twists and turns, sub plot on top of sub plot, characters you’ll love and hate, most importantly, the story kept me entertained and turning pages until the very end. The ending was completely unexpected and left me asking for more.

Another great novel by Lonsdale! What would you do if some of your memories were erased? Would you want them back, knowing it might hurt your marriage? This is the dilemma Ella finds herself in when she wakes up in a hospital bed, unsure of how she got there. This story kept me engaged and involved in Ella’s journey to uncover what was lost and make sense of her relationships. It’s a quick but entertaining read perfect for those who are looking for a little mystery, a little romance and a bit of a twist ending.

I was drawn into the novel from the first pages and immediately intrigued to find out what would happen next. The story had a lot of twists and turns, overall an excellent novel. Definitely worth picking up, and very difficult putting it down.

I finished the book but found it hard work. The main characters weren’t likeable and their selfish actions didn’t make for a good story for me. I found the memory control and it’s antidote a ridiculous device. Not for me. I won’t post review elsewhere as it’s not more than 2 stars.

I am a huge fan of Kerry Longsdale & have read all of her books! I was so excited to be an early reader for her latest & greatest, Last Summer. This book will not disappoint.
It revolves around Ella whom is a journalist who recently lost her memory & ended up in the hospital with no memory of getting there or her life the past year, after being in a car accident. Her husband Damien is not helpful with filling her in & she does not understand why. Ella is given a second opportunity to interview the famous adventurer and she hope he will be able to help her with filling in her memories.
The story between Ella, Damien & Nathan is full of lies, deceit, love & trust. It is full of twists that you never will believe!!
I highly recommend this suspenseful read.. I was unable to put it down & the end will just blow you away!!

A most captivating and intriguing read---once I started I just could not stop! Filled with everything from lies, deception and love and selective memory loss---the wanting to know more will keep the reader guessing and engrossed to the last page. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this title prior to publication---I just loved it!!!

Last Summer took me on a whirlwind journey that I'm still reeling from! This story was masterfully weaved together with the perfect amount of suspense, mystery, drama and romance. Ella Skye has an amazing job and life with her handsome, successful and dedicated husband Damien Russell until the day she wakes up in the hospital with part of her memory gone. Her selective memory loss includes an accident which caused her to lose a pregnancy that she can't remember. Pieces of the past she's forgotten come to light intentionally or so it seems as intuition pushes her to continue digging for the truth. When Ella meets Nathan Donovan, someone she's "forgotten," she uncovers more secrets, lies and keys to unlocking what she so desperately tried to forget. This story pushes the limits on what people will do in the name of love and has easily become my favorite by Kerry Lonsdale. Ella Skye's story will stay with me forever and keep me wondering what happened next.

As a fan of Kerry Lonsdale's Everything series, I was ecstatic to receive an advance copy of her upcoming book. It did not disappoint! This book follows the story of Ella Skye, a journalist who is used to learning and sharing everyone else's secrets. The tables turn this time... She has lost her memory and is working hard to remember events of her own life, very important events. She wakes from a horrible accident, to find out she has lost her unborn child and the worst part is she is unaware she was ever pregnant. She has no memory of it at all, so how can she mourn? This will soon create a divide with her husband as she struggles to fill in the gaps. I give Lonsdale credit, because I was sure I had the ending all figured out, but was surprised! And to me...being surprised makes for a great read. Special thanks to the author, the publisher and NetGalley for the free, electronic ARC of this novel, received in exchange for an honest review.

Will keep you guessing---that's what makes a good book. Don't miss out on this one---you will be glad you read it! Thank you NetGalley for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
