A woman without a past…
After a tragic accident left her with no memory, Kate Alexander struggled to fit in with a husband and world that didn’t feel right. She’s had no reason to question what friends and family have told her, not until her husband is suddenly killed and she finds a photo of a young girl in his office. A girl who can’t be anyone but a daughter Kate didn’t know she had.
A man desperate for a reason to live…
Ryan Harrison lost his wife in a plane crash five years ago. To cope with the pain of her loss, he dedicated himself to his job and to raising their daughter. Now a successful pharmaceutical executive, Ryan has everything a man could want—money, fame and power—but he’d give it all up in a heartbeat for just one more day with the woman he still loves.
Two lives about to converge.
As Kate begins to dig into a past she doesn’t remember, evidence leads her to San Francisco and puts her on the path toward Ryan, a man who sees in her the woman he loved and lost. Kate feels a draw to Ryan, one she can’t explain, but is that feeling enough to convince her this is where she’s supposed to be? As Ryan and Kate search for answers, they uncover lies long buried, a passion hotter than either expected and a danger that threatens…even now…when the second chance they’ve both been searching for is finally within reach.
Review:
This book had the most interesting concept. From the moment I read the blurb, I was excited for it.
For the most part, it didn't let me down. You don't expect what's under the cover. It has more mystery and action than I expected. But it really worked for the novel.
There characters were okay. I liked the ending relationship between Ryan and Katie, but I didn't like them separately. Katie was too unsure for me. And not just about the situation that she was put in. I just couldn't get into her character and enjoy her side of the story. And Ryan... Oh Ryan, he was sexy in his own way, but even at the end of the book, he still seemed like a real jerk with very few redeeming qualities.
Reed and Julia were cute. Julia annoyed me a lot with the way she treated Katie, but I enjoyed her sass with her father and Mitch. She really loved them and you could really read that in their interactions. Reed was just too adorable and I loved him.
What really made this story for me was Mitch. He had all the funny lines and really took the edge off. He was a great guy and a good addition to the story. I don't know that I would have liked the book nearly as much as I had if Mitch hadn't been in it. He was a great big brother and friend. I wish I had someone in my life like him. He really cares about his family and friends. And his side story was really good, too. I wish we could have seen more from him, Simone and Shannon. They didn't play as big of a role as I'd of liked.
I didn't like the cover, but the blurb really drew me in. I'd never read a story like this and it was pulled off really well. The plot was unique and kept my interest the whole time. I read this in one sitting because there was something at every point that I had planned on putting the book down that kept me reading. I enjoyed reading it and may read more of Ms. Naughton's work.
