Review:
This isn't your typical romantic suspense. It isn't about a damsel in distress with a perfect knight in shining armor that rescues her to safety and they fall in love. But I say that in a good way. The author introduces the reader to Paige, who takes you on an emotional journey of exploration to find out who she is, layer by layer; her relationships, her past, everything.

This is a think out of the box, thought-provoking, think with another lens of perception kind of romantic suspense that had me hooked from the first page.
Although I did wonder about the importance and relevance of a character or two, I loved the twists that the author put into the storyline that kept me guessing! lately, I will say, I appreciated that there was an actual point, a purpose to the sex scenes. All in all, I really enjoyed the book.
- Rainy Day Reviews!
Paige Lyman, an accomplished psychiatrist, is on the verge of madness but she doesn't know it yet. The madness begins when she gets it into her head to write her memoirs. As her brilliant mind assembles bits and pieces of her life for the book, ugly skeletons, long forgotten in the closet, begin to rear their heads.
It had all begun with a simple act of love. And love, for her, was a blond-haired Irish boy named Bill, so when Bill abandoned her for priesthood the world around her collapsed. Seized by a different passion—vengeance—she seeks her proverbial pound of flesh in the beds of various priests...
But that is before she meets Stern W, a medical researcher, who sweeps into her life like a hurricane and marries her, and they live happily ever after until he dies in a helicopter crash and she discovers the startling truth about who he really was.
Take Back the Memory is the saga of her compelling backward journey through her own life on a psychotherapist's couch.
Review
First off, I really like this cover. I believe it captures the intensity of the character and the barrage of emotions it takes you through.
Secondly, I loved the writing ability and emotion that Augustine Sam was able to evoke in me. From the ups and downs that Paige had to go through, to her heartache and path to each decision she made, I really felt it come through the pages.
A beautiful journey that shows that everyone has their issues and that it isn't impossible to come back from things or repair relationships, it just takes work.
