BLURB:

Stacie Nightingale doesn’t what the 2.5 million dollars of blood money she’s been awarded as a result of the lawsuit she filed. She also doesn’t want the memories that are flooding her mind, causing her to remember the betrayal that led to her friend’s death and left Stacie with a traumatic brain injury. Neither of those circumstances matter though once her boyfriend Owen Landry proposes to her. She doesn’t want his proposal because of the circumstances that drove him to it. The mysterious woman he seems to be keeping company only fuels her insecurity and doubt. Stacie loves Owen, but with her past continuing to haunt her, she questions if their love is strong enough to survive.

My Review:

It 's a novel intense and romantic but with some suspense and  twists.
Stacie has had a bad accident of which does not remember anything, she had lost her best friend and she had to undergo brain surgery. She also discovers that her ex has deceived and used her: has had relationships with their students. What humiliation! How can she trust men again? Her current boyfriend Owen is the ideal guy but she does not yet feel ready to take the plunge, will he be able to convince her?
Stacie is a complex woman with a past that haunts her and can not live peacefully her love story. I adored Owen, is so protective and affectionate towards Stacie.
The story is narrated in the third person by alternating the point of view of Owen and Stacie, making reading more engaging.
It's the fifth book in the series "The Puget Sound- Alive With Love", but can also be read as a stand alone. I'm really curious to read the previous ones.

This is a wonderful story that is very well written with a great pace.
I have no hesitation in recommending it highly.

EXCERPT:


Finally, Stacie met his gaze, a fire in her eyes. Her tender caress left his face, her hands tangling in his hair as she pulled him to her mouth. Her kiss was aggressive, giving more than taking, as though she was trying to prove something. Before Owen could register what that something was, she backed him into the living room until the backs of his legs hit the chair. Stacie’s initial push caused him to drop into the chair and without missing a beat, she straddled his lap and ground her body against him. The friction inspired his cock to wake up, but Owen knew what this was. It wasn't the first time Stacie had tried to use sex to avoid talking about something unpleasant.

He stopped kissing her even though her lips kept moving against his. All the laws of attraction were at work and it was nearly impossible to reverse the momentum, but Owen had never believed sex was a problem solver. As much as he wanted to make Stacie feel better, his instincts told him this wasn't the way.

“Please don't stop,” she pleaded.

“Stacie-”

“Owen, please. I need you. Right now, I need you.”

The desperation in her voice cracked his heart. He needed her too, if for no other reason than to remind her how much he loved her, how much she meant to him. Owen’s possessive side also pushed him to stake his claim, but now was not the time for either of them to feed their own insecurities. “Then let me hold you.”

“No. Make love to me,” she whispered, her voice a seductive caress in his ear.

“Baby, that's not what you're after.”
