Recovered Secrets

GIVEAWAY
PATCH, JESSICA
RECOVERED SECRETS

A blank memory. A new life. But her borrowed time just ran out.

Two years after Grace Thackery washed up on a small-town Mississippi riverbank, she has the first clue about the life she doesn't remember, someone wants her dead. And while search-and-rescue director Hollis Montgomery's determined to protect her, the secrets of her past are darker than they expected.  Can the bond between Grace and Hollis survive her true identity...and an assasin?

My Review:

Well this one sent me into a bibliophile tailspin of woozy delight. My brain is all in a muddled daze so finding words for a review is going to be tricky.

First, Recovered Secrets is full of the unexpected. That includes cagey plot twists that are directly linked to my befuzzled state. And I so love the way Patch brings humour into even the most desperate scenes. The word 'ninja' will forever bring a smile to my lips. :-)

I also love Grace's backstory -- or lack thereof. That kind of long term amnesia makes for some fascinating tension -- especially when it comes to the romance. Because Hollis has feelings for Grace -- the kind that goes beyond the special friendship they've developed over the past year and a half. Only how can Grace reciprocate when she doesn't know who she really is? And there's so much I want to say about that but I can't without posting spoilers which is uber frustrating Gah! Because Grace's story begs to be talked over.

And then there's the suspense -- wow -- just wow. Intricate and clever. It was so much fun trying to put the pieces together and when I had the light bulb moment before Grace and Hollis did I was beyond proud...only to discover that I was only half right and maybe a whole lot wrong too and then things happened followed by more things until my brain felt fried. Synapses are still sizzling as a matter of fact.

An action-packed thrill of a page-turner.

  4. I always enjoy the Love Inspired Suspense that I read and this one sounds like it will be exciting. Who doesn't love a good blank memory story? And it's set on the Mississippi River so bonus points.

    1. And this one is unique in that the heroine has been living with amnesia for a year and a half so she's set up a new life and has developed a friendship with the hero before all the crazy stuff starts happening. lol Good luck, Liz!
