Book description:
Who is he really? And why is someone after him?
Mariah Holzman never imagined a whiteout blizzard would sever all communication from the outside world—communication desperately needed for the injured man Mariah finds near her home. Nor did she imagine helping nurse the man back to health would lead to threats and intimidation. As danger escalates and questions rise, Mariah is left to wonder what kind of person she has allowed into her home.
Grant MacGuire never imagined he would wake up one day in a strange cabin, surrounded by strange people, with no memory of who he is or how he was injured. Nor did he imagine his presence would put the lives of those who saved him in danger. As Grant struggles with distorted memories, he wonders if his life is worth the price the Holzman family is paying.
The growing attraction between Mariah and Grant is hindered by Grant’s unknown identity. Is Grant, as the family’s neighbor assumes, a criminal on the run from the law? Or is there more to his identity—and the reason he was attacked—than they realize?
My review:
This is the second suspense novel by Zeller, who mostly writes historical romances. I thought the first book in this series, Unexpected Witness, was better, but this one was still a great read. I do love a good amnesia story.
Loved the plot and the characters. In my not so humble opinion, kids add a lot to a story, and this one had two great and likable kids in it. That aspect of the story also added a lot when it came to protecting the family from the bad guys.
The suspense aspect gets an A+. The author did a great job with an amnesiac character who had no idea if he was a good guy or a bad guy. The reader of course has insight Grant does not have, knowing he is a police detective.
The story is a somewhat slow story, but still interesting, for most of the book. Towards the end is when everything is ramped up. And the book has a terrific ending.
Hoping the author keeps writing both genre's.
The books in this series can be read in any order.
Special thanks to the author for an advance e-book copy of this novel. I was under no obligation to provide a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own.
