Her lips, the way she feels, how she moves against me. Her voice when she laughs, her eyes when she cries. Her soul connected to mine, for better or for worse, for all eternity.
I don't remember.
A blank face. Unrecognizable. The darkness and impenetrable fog, day after day after day. Who am I? And for that matter, who is she?
I can't remember.
Two sides to the same coin – one wants to remember, and the other wants to stay forgotten. Which side will win? Can he trust his heart to bring him back to her? Or will she stay lost in the fog forever?
I might never remember.
warning: features adult themes
Stylo never ceases to amaze me with her stories—everything so different than what is out there making each book unique, fresh, and memorable.
Muscle Memory was no different.
Jay and Delaney have a hard life—homeless druggies, penniless but they were in love and that was enough for them.
Until it wasn’t…Jay is in a horrible accident and can’t remember anything about this life or who he once was.
Muscle Memory is the journey of Jay/Jon trying to find his life and becoming an even better version of who he once was.
“Because when true love finds its counterpart, it always recognizes it. It’s all in the muscle memory…”
This was a beautiful take on a second chance romance—one of my favorite troupes ever.
You see when Jay and Delaney were together before the accident, they were toxic to each other. Sometimes in life you need that something to kick your ass, to remind you of what is important, to get you to stop doing harmful things to yourself—to grow up, be responsible, to live life.
It doesn’t always have to be a horrific accident to remind you of how precious life is but in Jay’s case, this is the thing that kickstarted his life down the right path, to making good choices for himself, and for Delaney to make different/better choices for herself too.
And what was once toxic comes full circle to something so beautiful because both characters realize how precious and valuable life is—how priceless their love is.
I closed my kindle knowing in my heart that the choices they made were for the best for them and had a huge smile on my face imagining what this new path in life would give them <3

About Stylo Fantome
Crazy woman from a remote location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a necessity!), I have been writing since … forever? Yeah, that sounds about right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball – I also see
shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I’m
clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT.
I like dogs more than I like most people, and I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t drink. No, I do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six months out of the year, there’s your Alaska lesson for the day. I have mermaid hair – both a curse and a blessing – and most of the time I talk so fast, even I can’t understand me.
Yeah. I think that about sums me up.
