Wanting to expand his reach, Simon Danbury takes his Lift seminars to Africa. And what better place to start than small town South Africa.
Can the man with no future save the woman without a past?
At seventeen, a tragic accident left Mila Evans, orphaned, with no memory… of either her life before her accident or her true self. Moving forward with life, Mila chose to ignore anything and … chose to ignore anything and everything before the accident. Never attempting to even try to remember her past life. That is until she met Tariq and simply living no longer suited her. Tariq made her feel, but more than that he pushed her out of her comfort zone, pushed her to want to remember…
A stupid mistake ruined Tariq’s career as a musician. Since then, he has worked hard as a field agent with Ward Security. There was no need to dwell on the stupid things he did when he was young; Tariq is now saving lives… Making a difference. Until Mila steps into his life and reminds him of his true passion: His love of music and performing.
A threat to Mila will force them to either confront their pasts or sacrifice their future together…

Tariq Salie was an up-and-coming musician with a big future ahead of him when he made a very bad decision to sleep with the wife of the record executive who just signed him on a recording deal. He gets caught, and his future in the music business is over. Fast forward a few years and he is mostly out of the music business, and is working as a bodyguard/investigator for Ward Security under the cover of doing A/V work for a conference, when he meets Mila Evans. Mila was in a car accident several years earlier, and can’t remember anything about her earlier life prior to the accident. There is an instant attraction within both of these characters. Both are wary of anything deep, so they decide to have a 2-week long fling. This conference and other similar conferences have become a target for a group that seems to be abducting young women from these conferences and placing them in a sexual slavery ring. Ward Security wants to stop the leaders of this ring and keep each of the attendees safe.
This book is very action-oriented. The pacing is fast and the tension ramps up from the start. These characters have each been hurt, and they each have a lot of baggage to deal with. The combination of both protagonists is wonderful, as each helps the other face their past, and each brings out something new in the other. The conflicts and issues are clearly defined, and the actions that each character takes are consistent throughout the story. This book was hard to put down! Mila’s past is slowly revealed, as is Tariq’s. There are some surprise revelations toward the end, which added a nice dose of warmth to the story.
Wow! This was an intense, enjoyable read! Bailie’s writing reaches a new level in this book, and there were very few errors found as well. This is Bailie’s best work yet!
Heartwarming romance with secrets everywhere!
Tariq and Mila fit together so well, it’s as if they’ve known each other forever even though they just met. Their romance was sweet and steamy, while all around them secrets and danger lurked from a shared enemy that neither of them knew they had. Their relationship brings out the best in each of them, allowing them to fulfill dreams they’d thought were long forgotten.
This was a delightful, easy to fall into romance that instantly captivated me and kept me reading straight through. There’s just enough action and suspense to keep things interesting, and the eventual resolution was satisfying and thorough. Their HEA was everything I hoped for. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Easy To Remember is the first book I have read by Bailie Hantam & I can now say I am now a big fan! I Loved the intense romantic story between Tariq & Mila, their chemistry is off the heat charts! I am surprised my kindle did not spontaneously combust while reading their story! When they meet for the first time they have an instant attraction that is undeniable which only builds with every page as it pulls you in deeper and deeper in their romance. Another twist is Mila has amnesia about her past but their connection holds the key to her memories only neither of them know it. There are a number of plot twists that adds to the story and keeps you engaged from the first chapter to the end. I loved Easy To Remember and cannot wait to read something else by Bailie, she is awesome!

I dove into this story not knowing anything about it and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed reading it. Easy to Remember by Bailie Hantam is one of those reads that pulls you in until it’s over. But what got me with the suspense I wasn’t expecting to feel.
Right from the start we are off running with Tariq at a young age and hitting a major pitfall in his life. Years later we catch up with Tariq and enters Mila who at a young age encountered a tragic accident that turns her life on a different path.
So when Tariq and Mila are working an event together chemistry, sparks and all that sizzling steam starts to jump off the pages.
Oh, don’t forget the plot twist that happens!
Easy to read, the story flows nonstop and details that just make reading this story so much more enjoyable.
4.5*
A great story. The chemistry between Tariq and Mila are explosive. Tariq and Mila are working together for a conference there is an instant attraction. Both characters don’t do relationships but decide to a fling. Great Story with wonderful characters. Once I started reading I was sucked right into the story and couldn’t put it down. This was a super hot steamy story with action thrown in. Also loved the other characters in the story and would love to read their stories too.
I won an ARC and volunteered to leave a review.
Wow what a fantastic book!
Gripping from the get go this one had me wanting more and more.
Many twists and turns I didn’t see coming and I did not see that ending.coming.
This book had the action, romance and heat that was exactly what I needed and I can’t wait for more.
Action packed, heat galore this newest release had the romance and heat level that I want in a good read. From the gripping start to the ending that I did not see coming, the exciting storyline with its many twists will have you at the edge of your seat. I loved Tariq and Mila’s chemistry it was hot and steamy, add in the drama and it kept me entertained until the end. I can’t wait to read more of this series that doesn’t disappoint.
The storyline was great and the chemistry between Mila and Tariq was off the charts HOT which kept me turning the pages until the very last page! I look forward to reading more from this author!
Mila and Tariq was such a great story. I enjoyed the action and love story. Two broken people find one another and sparks fly but it was more then that, they enjoyed eachother in every way. Started to heal eachother. Great book.
This was an engaging, twisting, interesting book to read. Mila and Tariq are two unique characters who have pasts that bond them together. Getting to the part where they that they share a past is what this storyline is all about and it is quite interesting and intense. Bailie writes an amazing storyline with these two. I absolutely loved each page turning moment. Tariq meets Mila at a conference that the two are attending. There is intense instant chemistry between these two. But Mila is hiding something from him. Something happened when she was younger and she has no memory of her younger years. That ladies and gentlemen is the interesting part of this storyline. As she starts having flashbacks she realizes that she may know Tariq more than she thinks. But will her past comes back to haunt her and change her future? Will she get the answers that she needs? Will her and Tariq get a future? This is an amazing read. I highly recommend this one as I loved the chemistry between Mila and Tariq and how Bailie hooks you from the beginning to the end.
Another fabulous read to add to the list!!!
Once again bailie has given us another brilliantly written read that’s full of romance and suspense and enough steam to keep your pulse racing!!
Tariq and mila’s story will keep you turning the pages to find out what’s going to happen next, the chemistry between them sizzles and the suspense keeps you guessing… a truly enjoyable read. I love seeing past characters ( especially my jack haha) which blends the story’s together perfectly .
I was so excited when I found out this book, and bailie has definitely exceeded herself she has a unique way of writing and always leaves you satisfied by the end….looking forward to more.
Absolutely loved this story.
Bailie hantam
This is my first book by bailie and I Absolutely loved it!!
It started off slow and sexy just how I like, filled with love and lust, angst and suspense.
I love Tariq and mila, the chemistry was palpable.
This story took me on a rollercoaster of emotions, I felt all the highs and lows.
Tariq and Mila’s story had me captivated from the first page, both have demons from the past that may prove difficult to overcome, if mila could just remember.
Cant wait for more in the series
I am new to Bailie Hantam and love Kristen Proby so this was a great opportunity to try a new to me author. And I am a fan. I loved it. Tariq and Mila have off the charts heat and chemistry. I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read more from Bailie.
Easy To Remember is set in Kristen Proby’s Beaudreaux Universe. This is the first time that I’ve read anything by Bailie Hantam and I really like her writing. Mila has had a memory loss since the car accident when she was 17 and it killed her parent. Little does she know that her memory loss puts her in danger. Tariq was on the cusp of being big in the music business then he made a mistake of sleeping with the producer’s wife. The producer made sure that Tariq was blackballed so he went to work for the Ward Security company to protect women in danger of being taken for sexual slavery.
Little do Mila and Tariq know that their attraction for each other will put Mila in more danger. This story has a lot of twists and turns that makes it more than just a romance story. I received an ARC and am leaving my honest opinion of this book.
Easy to lose hours reading this 5 Star book!
In releasing Easy to Remember, Bailie Hantam has hit another 5-star home run. While it is a part of Kristin Proby’s Boudreaux Universe, and the first in her new series entitled, The Agency, we have already met a number of the characters in Ms Hantam’s previous books. While each book is a stand-a-lone, preceding stories in the 30 Something in the City Series give a little background into not only the main characters, but the secondary ones who all have an input into this book. If you haven’t read them, it’s no drama, Ms Hantam introduces everyone perfectly, and you won’t get lost.
I’ve read and loved all of Ms Hantam’s books, so I know the connections and I won’t be speaking as to the blurb of this one. I’m talking about the writing style of our esteemed author. She has a particular writing style as individual as one’s own fingerprints, she doesn’t give things away willy-nilly, nor does she spoon fed the plot to the reader in any way. You need to pay attention as you read, or you’ll be missing some of the little breadcrumbs or ‘Easter eggs’, that she likes to toss around, that are windows into an upcoming book, or sneaky peeks from another perspective into others.
Wheels moving within wheels, there’s a lot happening in Easy to Remember, and the chemistry between our main characters is on point. Tariq and Mila are on fire together. They match, and they bring out the best in each other, past and present. Read the book and you’ll see what I mean. Seriously people. 5 stars
