Right Chest, Wrong Name by Colleen Collins
Love & Laughter Book One
Russell Harrington is getting married in a week, he hopes so anyways. After his bachelor party...Charlotte may cancel everything. Waking up with the mother of all hangovers and not enough memory to know how he got home is bad enough...then he looks in the mirror.

Elizabeth Rose, on the other hand, remembers every moment from Russell's bachelor party. The memory of what she thinks of as the best night of her life is darkened by the regret Russell has when he returns the next day. Especially when he asks her to remove the special memory of their time together.

Fast moving action with plenty of humor makes this story a real page turner. The two books in this series are older and may be hard to get a hold of...but are worth reading if you can get your hands on them. To see what happens to Russell's buddy Drake, be sure to read the second book; Right Chapel, Wrong Couple.

A very confusing story but was it confusing because it was poorly written? Or was that the way the author meant it to be?

I think the problem stems from having missed the whole hero meeting up with the heroine part. He just wakes up the next day not remembering anything that happened at his bachelor party until he sees his chest and the tattoo with the word "Liz".

He figures out with the help of a friend where he got his tattoo and heads there but even meeting up with her doesn't trigger any memories only a sense of happiness. So the part where you see what draws the hero/heroine to the other is missing so everything afterwards just doesn't feel very believable.

And don't even get me started on the silly secondary characters of Raven and Charlotte - GAK!
