About the Book

Picture
​The Charleston earthquake has left destruction like nothing Doctor Andrew Warwick has ever seen. On a desperate mission to find the lady who owns his heart, he frantically searches through the rubble. He finds her injured and lifeless. After she regains consciousness, the doctor’s hopes are quickly dashed as he realizes she doesn’t remember him. Things only get worse when he discovers she believes she’s still engaged to the abusive scoundrel, Lloyd Pratt. Now Drew is on a race with the wedding clock to either help her remember or win her heart again before she marries the wrong man.
 
Waking in a makeshift hospital, Olivia Macqueen finds herself recovering from a head injury. With amnesia stealing a year of her memories, she has trouble discerning between lies and truth. When her memories start returning in bits and pieces, she must keep up the charade of amnesia until she can find out the truth behind the embezzlement of her family’s business while evading the danger lurking around her.

Review

​From page one I was hooked on Debbie Lynne Costello’s captivating story and latest release, Shattered Memories.  A crushing earthquake hits California, leaving devastation and death in its wake.  Olivia Macqueen wakes up from a one week coma disoriented and not being able to remember the last year of her life.  Doctor Andrew Warwick is heart-stricken to learn that his love does not remember their courtship from the past year and believes she is still engaged to another man.  Through the entangled webs of lies and deceit, can hope and love be found at the end of the tunnel?  Debbie life-like characters and fantastically written story will enrapture the heart of readers throughout the entire novel.   I recommend this story to readers that enjoy historical-Christian novels.

Debbie Lynne Costello is a new to me author. I am intrigued by a character having amnesia. When hearing of this happening to someone, I have often thought about how awful that would be not remember past events or people. I have already added this to my TBR list. Thanks for the review.

I haven't read any of Debbie's books, though I do have "Sword of Forgiveness" sitting on my shelf :-) The reason this book sounds good, it's historical which is my favorite genre! It also features how the characters deal with natural disasters and second chances. And most importantly, it's Christian based. A book that enriches my walk with the Lord is important to me.

Thank you for the chance to win a copy of "Shattered Memories", blog hop, and your review. I've enjoyed each stop and reading each review!

I loved everything about "Shattered Memories" (except my dislike for Lloyd, lol). I was particularly engrossed by the info on the earthquake, Olivia's amnesia, and the twists in the story. Thanks for a beautiful, inspiring story - Debbie!!

Debbie is new to me. Shattered Memories draws me in with the title. Then the blurb and rest clinched it.

Yay! I'm so glad the title grabbed you. :o) That makes me happy. And I'm glad the blurb drew you in too!

I just started Sword of Forgiveness, but wish I had started it sooner. It definitely gives me insight into Debbie's writing style. Although I'm not too far into the book, the reviews haven't been wrong.
