What is this book about?
After surviving a trauma several years back, Remy Reed relocated to a cottage on one of Maine’s most remote islands. She’s arranged her life just the way she wants it, spending her time working on her wood sculptures and soaking in the beauty of nature. It’s quiet and solitary—until the day she spots something bobbing in the ocean.
Her binoculars reveal the “something” to be a man, and he’s struggling to keep his head above water. She races out to save him and brings him into her home. He’s injured, which doesn’t detract from his handsomeness nor make him any easier to bear. He acts like a duke who’s misplaced his dukedom . . . expensive tastes, lazy charm, bossy ideas.
Remy would love nothing more than to return him to his people, but he has no recollection of his life prior to the moment she rescued him. Though she’s not interested in relationships other than the safe ones she’s already established, she begins to realize that he’s coming to depend on her.
Who is he? What happened that landed him in the Atlantic Ocean? And why is she drawn to him more and more as time goes by?
There’s no way to discover those answers except to walk beside him down memory lane.
My review:
Story: This romance is by no means a fluff story. The characters and the situations they find themselves in have real depth to them. I was very drawn to the mystery of Jonah’s amnesia and things were fast paced, especially toward the end, as he solves it. While I liked Remy and Jonah’s chemistry, there were times when it bordered on obsessive. However, the ending was ultimately satisfying and I loved the way Jonah respected Remy’s boundaries.
Audio: This story was read by two narrators, one for Remy’s POV and one for Jonah’s POV. They both did a good job conveying emotions within the words, but I enjoyed the male reading the best.
What I enjoyed most about this book:
Fast paced, turning pages at the end
What I didn’t like about this book:
Sometimes the hero was obsessive
Would I recommend this book to others? Yes. In depth romance, a mystery woven in, and page turning at the end. This is the first book in the series.
Note: I purchased the paperback but received the audio book complimentary from the author. I was not required to give a review. All of the opinions I have expressed here are my own.
Where can I learn more about this author and their books?
