It’s not everyday in Bon Temps when Sookie sees a naked man running down her road. Of course since Bill came into Merlotte’s Bar, where Sookie works, everything about Sookie’s life has been different. She even knew the man running. Since she couldn’t just leave him there, she stopped. Eric was scared which Sookie had never seen that expression from him. He also didn’t know who he was other than vampire. Sookie took him to her house and called his second in command, Pam. She came over to access the damage to him and somehow it came about that Sookie was to keep him there till everything cooled down and they could find out what was going on. Jason, Sookie’s brother told them that she should be paid for her time and patience with Eric. They agreed to an outrageous amount for his safety. Evidently the witches were in town and wanted his businesses and him for personal reasons and since Eric wouldn’t give her what she wanted, she hexed him into amnesia. He only knew that Sookie was a woman that has taken him in and been kind to him. Without really knowing, Sookie starting really liking this side of Eric and one thing leads to another. While Sookie tries to find her missing brother and multitask on the problems of the shifters, her heart is being captured. When things are starting to be settled down, she wonders if Eric will remember their time together, if her brother is even alive out there, why couldn’t Bill be around to help in these situations, and why does she keep getting attached.

I think this is my favorite so far. I liked seeing the softer side of Eric. I think he would be good for Sookie. Of course once he got his memory back and didn’t know about their time together was sad. I felt sorry for Sookie. She knew that things were better off this way but I’m still mad at Bill for cheating on her. Charlaine Harris has a gift! Plainly stated and no need for embelishment. She is the bomb.
