Summary: Yesterday's Stories
Review: These are not new stories! However at the low price I would not have objected if they were good stories. Both tales suffer from undeveloped characters and plodding plot development. The first tells the story of Anna Hayden whose amnesia,the result of a much publicized subway accident, prevents her from recognizing her former lover or knowing who is the father of her unborn child. Is the father Jason Whitaker, her former beau and handsome TV newsanchor or is it a new unknown lover who she met in the three months she has been alone searching for herself. Though often implausible this is the better of the two stories. The second tale is about secret agent Pierce Kincaid who mysteriously disappeared five years ago just before his now five year old son was born. He walks into his home one day as if no time has passed, knowing that his wife and son are in danger but unaware of how he knows this. Now he must find the danger before it finds his family. 'Yesterday's Memories' are yesterday's stories, I just wish they were a bit better.

Summary: Good but not great..
Review: These are two previously published stories that are grouped together due to their common theme of amnesia. Both main characters have lost significant chunks of their memories and are fighting to regain what they lost. 1. Father: Unknown by Tara Quinn--is about Anna, a woman involved in a subway crash who loses her entire memory, including who has fathered her unknown baby. Luckily, her former fiance has recognized her on the TV reports and goes to claim her. Jason still loves Anna but she refused his marriage proposal and now is pregnant and doesn't know who the father is. Complicating matters is the fact that Anna had a unique bond with her triplet sisters--a bond that had always excluded Jason. 2. Fade to Black by Amanda Stevens- is about a CIA agent who goes missing- leaving a wife and unborn son. He returns 5 years later as if nothing had happened- he doesn't remember any of the 5 years. His wife has changed alot in the 5 years he has been gone but still loves her husband-only she cannot trust that he will not leave her again. I enjoyed these stories, but agree that there was not alot of character development and some of the plot was wildly improbable (especially about the pregnancy in the first story). It is a good book for those looking for superficial reads with not alot of depth- a fair summer read!
