The story was interesting....amnesia victim....2 husbands....that part was interesting. I didn't realize it was going to include detailed sex scenes. Not my style. ( )

Una mujer sin pasado...
Después de que un trágico accidente la dejara sin memoria, Kate Alexander se esfuerza por llevar adelante la vida con su marido, en un mundo en el que no parece encajar, pese a los esfuerzos de sus amigos y su familia. Hasta que su marido muere de repente y descubre en su despacho la foto de una niña pequeña. Una niña que se parece mucho a ella.
Un hombre desesperado por encontrar un motivo para vivir...
Desde que cinco años antes perdiera a su mujer en un accidente de avión, Ryan Harrison se ha entregado por completo a su trabajo y a su hija. Ryan tiene cuanto un hombre puede desear: dinero, fama y poder. Sin embargo, renunciaría a todo por pasar un día más con la mujer a la que todavía ama.
Dos vidas a punto de cruzarse...
A medida que Kate indaga en un pasado que no recuerda, las evidencias la llevan a San Francisco y su camino se cruza con el de Ryan, un hombre que la ve como a la mujer a la que amó y perdió. Mientras Ryan y Kate buscan respuestas, descubren una verdad que llevaba largo tiempo enterrada, una pasión mucho más poderosa de lo que esperaban y una amenaza que se interpondrá entre ellos y esa segunda oportunidad que tanto anhelan.

This was SO good. The ending was a bit ... I don't know. Unsatisfying? But interesting story that had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Lots of interesting twists. ( )

3.5 stars for this book.

This book grabbed me and refused to let me go. I was reading throughout the night. The story line seems confusing in the beginning, but soon you follow the leads with the main characters and it starts to make a weird kind of sense.

This is kind of horrifying. That people could potentially be so evil and vindictive that they ruin the lives of even innocent bystanders. I did not see the ending coming.. But somehow you wonder if she would not have sensed something off, even with no memory ( )

Wait for Me
4 Stars

Awakening from a coma and suffering from amnesia, Kate Alexander’s life turns upside down once again when her husband dies and she learns that everything he has told her about their past is a lie. Now Kate must set out on a journey to discover her true identity as another man’s wife and mother to his daughter not to mention the truth about what really happened to her.

Although classified as romantic suspense, Wait for Me is more of a contemporary romance with a smidgeon of suspense as the investigation into Annie/Kate’s disappearance takes a back seat to the to emotional angst of Kate’s reunion with her family and especially with her husband, Ryan.

Kate and Ryan’s relationship is the focus of the story. She is a resilient heroine and the straightforward manner in which she goes about uncovering the truth and fitting in with her old/new family adds an element of realism to a plot that would otherwise require a large dose of suspension of disbelief.

Ryan suffered tremendously from the loss of his wife and as such finds it difficult to reconcile the person she once was with the woman she has become. He is understandably angry and belligerent, but slowly comes to realize that he will have to change if he wants to keep the woman he has always loved. The fact that he and Kate do not immediately fall into each others’ arms and declare undying love for one contributes to the intensity of their romance as they begin to fall in love all over again.

As said, the mystery is secondary and the solution, which is rather far-fetched, comes somewhat out of the blue. Nevertheless, I did manage to guess the culprit, mainly because all other suspects are quickly removed, and the climax is exciting and satisfying.

The secondary romance between Annie/Kate’s brother, Mitch and her lawyer, Simone is sweet but I’m not sure it is interesting enough to read the sequel. I guess only time will tell.

All in all, a solid read with a compelling premise and engaging characters. Fans of Elisabeth Naughton will not be disappointed. ( )
