The Red Ledger by Meredith Wild
He’s death for hire…
Some people measure life in hours. Days. Weeks. I measure mine in kills. A covert military mission gone wrong robbed me of my memory and any link to my past. This is my existence now. I execute and survive. Nothing more, nothing less. I was ready to write Isabel Foster’s name in my ledger of unfortunate souls until she uttered the one word that could stop the bullet meant for her. My name.
She knows my face. She knows me. She’s the key to the memories I’m not sure I want back. Now nothing is simple. I still have a job to do, and my soul isn’t worth saving. I’m not the man she thinks I am. I can’t love her. And sparing her life puts us both in the crosshairs.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Short and sweet with an ending that will make you question whether you should throw your kindle across the room because you know you'll have to wait until the next instalment to find out what'll happen to Tristan and Isabel. And the biggest question of it all is: will he get his memory back by spending as much time as possible with Isabel?
I do have my doubts, but at the same time, i've heard of weirder things. So maybe sights, smells or even sounds will jog his memory so he'll remember just what she meant to him. Here's the other kicker - this man is a trained for hire assassin and someone wants Isabel gone for good, and for some reason, Tristan didn't go through with it.
So here's my question: where will readers be taken if Tristan is so damn cautious? Will he really sit back and let the memories arrive one after the other or will he get hit with all of them at once or is it a lost cause? I really have no idea and will have to keep reading this series to find out for certain.
