Screams. Flames. Shivering alone in the bitter Alaskan night - That's all I can remember from before.
I don't know where I came from or who I am, and I'm fairly certain I don't want to. I am absolutely certain I don't want to. I am absolutely certain about Andi Campbell, though; she's my light at the end of the tunnel, but I can't tell her that.
Most of True, Alaska, still shuns me because I won't speak, but not The Campbells - and that would change if they ever found out what Andi and I did when her mother was missing last summer. Andi seems to agree, and we steer clear of each other now.
But Andi's sister Delilah is getting married, and it's impossible to avoid one another at Hennessy Cove, the secluded inn the bride and groom booked for their intimate ceremony. From the moment we touch down, something about the place fills me with dread. And every time I cross paths with the smiling innkeeper, I break out in a cold sweat.
4 Stars
This book is a standalone in a series. I have not read book one, and did just fine with the dynamics. Would it have been better to read book one first, maybe, it might give you a little bit more back story by it is surrounding another couple.
Boone found himself alone and scrounging for food in True Alaska. Very little memory from his past. But when Mrs. Campbell takes him home and tries to find him some answers, he connects with her daughter Andi right away. Before he knows it he is part of the family. Sure the town doesn't know what to think of his mutism and treats him like an outcast, but never the Campbell's. As they age, his feeling for Andi become more than he is able to admit, based on their circumstances.
Andi decided from the very beginning that Boone was hers. She even begged for him to stay, when they threatened to take him somewhere else. They have shared a closeness, always being there for each other when needed. That closeness has grown to a love that she cannot share. They were raised as brother and sister after all. As much as she tries to distance herself from him there is always a constant pull.
As they find themselves spending time together to help with the wedding they are both a part of, the ability to keep some distance, becomes harder and harder. She is there for Boone trying to help him as he begins to have flashbacks of his past. With each flashback and each partial memory seems to come a hidden danger they aren't completely aware of. Boone gut is not telling him nice things about Hennessy Cove.
Will they get their chance at the love they deserve or will they be forced to accept what they have?
Ms Pace does a fabulous job at keeping you on the edge of your seat. What will happen next, will they make it out in time, will Boone's past be a good thing or a bad thing. The many twists and turns of the story will have you flipping pages and looking for answers. This was my first Michelle Pace book and I guarantee it will not be my last. I will head back to read book one and then check out her other stuff. I loved the suspense she mixed in with this slow burn romance.
