SYNOPSIS
When your past catches up, it's
time to stop running.
Jake Mathews messed up yet
again— but this time his misstep lands him in the hospital. He wakes up to find
the girl of his dreams and the memory of having his deepest secret revealed.
Emily Taylor needs a break.
She's been working double shifts as a nurse just to pay the bills while trying
to heal a broken heart. The last thing she needs is to fall for a patient.
Strapped with community service
and the knowledge that he's disappointed everyone in his life, Jake is
determined not to let Emily slip through his fingers. Emily wants Jake, but can
she really open herself up to heartache again?
REVIEW
I
had a bit of a hard time getting into this story.
I
enjoyed the interaction between Jake and Emily in the very beginning, when he
was in the ICU and she was his nurse, but once he left the hospital, the
chemistry I was expecting just kind of fizzled out. Not that I didn't see
potential, I just had a hard time connecting with the story and the MCs’
relationship. It seemed a bit rushed, and I missed the sexual tension and spark
that draws me to NA Contemporary Romances.
Having
said that, I did enjoy the characters. Emily was really sweet. My heart went
out to her. Her life hasn’t been easy, but even with everything she's been
through, she sucked it up and forged on. Jake was fun and kinda had that
boy-next-door charm. He’s had his fair share of trouble but I warmed to him
despite his past behavior.
I only
really started to "feel" this story once Noah came into the picture.
It was a real surprise and I’m sure something like that would create tension in
any relationship, especially one just starting out. Jake’s reaction was
expected but I was glad that he didn’t allow it to get in the way of his
feelings for Emily.
From
then on things moved quite smoothly for the pair. I was expecting a bit more
turmoil, or some kind of near-tragic event to happen that would tear Emily and
Jake apart, only for them to reunite again; something that would liven up the
story a bit. Unfortunately I was left deflated.
The
story had potential, I was just expecting more.
It
gets…
