My Thoughts:
Alexa Blakely is having a hard time letting go of the past. Her story continues from the first volume so
you need to read them in order otherwise some things may be confusing if you
don’t. Alexa is on a journey of
rediscovering who she is. Plus she has
to cope with a disability
In this story Landon Davis has more of a supportive role. It then turns around when we find he has a
secret. This will be your “what!”
moment. The reason I feel Landon has a
supportive role is because I felt that this was Alexa’s story to tell. She has a life to discover and she will have
you wondering what you would do if you were in her shoes. And wait until you get to the ending (no
cheating), you’ll silently be sending the author a message – “you devious woman
you!” But then you realize that you have
to know where she’s taking us next.
The author shows the struggles that people that have lost their
memory must face in order to continue their lives. It’s not always cut and dried. What we take for granted, Alexa must fight
through the fog to see if she remembers. One thing I loved about this book was
that the author made Landon so accepting of a disability that would turn some
men off.
But then when I get to the ending, I’m left with questions. How does this affect their relationship? How does this turn of events factor into the
next book – another reason to read this series in order. What does this surprise do to Landon? I can’t wait to get my copy of volume three
so I can get these questions answered.
Unless, our author continues to be underhanded and leaves me hanging
again. But that’s ok because that just
means that I’ll have to read volume four, which will not be a hard chore.
Excerpt:
“Let me help you,” he says.
“You can’t.” I turn away from Landon. If I keep looking at him, I’ll give in and destroy both of our lives. I can’t do that. I just need him gone, out of my life, so I can live my life — alone.
“Just go,” I say still not looking at him. I can feel his eyes on me; he wants to say more, but he doesn’t move.
I close my eyes tight to keep the tears at bay. How can I still need to cry after all the tears that have already fallen tonight? “Please,” I beg.
I hear Landon get up from the bed, but I don’t dare open my eyes and reveal my pain. I don’t dare look at Landon to see his pain. I just keep them closed trying not to think about how lonely I’m going to feel a few minutes from now. I feel his wet lips brush against my cheek.
“Good-bye, Alexa,” he says. I wince at the words. When I hear the door close, I open my eyes. He’s gone. Just like everyone else I have ever loved, but I don’t love Landon. I didn’t fall for him yet, so really, I’m preventing the pain before it starts. This pain is bearable. This pain I will get over. I let the tears come as I use the crutches Landon leaned against the bed next to me to find my purse on the counter in the kitchen. I ruffle through it until I find the little piece of green fabric. The only comfort I will have tonight. I carry it back to bed with me, taking deep breaths, trying to find his scent that still lingers on the silk. No matter how long I lie here breathing in his scent, it doesn’t bring back any new memories. Just the same painful memories of the accident I’m never going to escape.
