Wait For Me
by Elisabeth Naughton
Wait For Me had been on my kindle TBR for some time before being chosen at random as my next read. I went in blind, so I had no idea what to expect. Given the title I expected it to be a love story, and it is, but I did not expect it to be so shocking and heavy.
When we first meet Kate, she is struggling to recover from an accident which has left her with memory loss. As if she doesn’t have enough to deal with, she loses her husband suddenly and whilst going through his office she soon finds evidence that their life together might not have been all she thought it was.
Digging into her past leads her to pharmaceutical executive, Ryan. This leads to even further confusion for both, initially.
At this point I realised where the story was leading but that didn’t hinder my enjoyment of the book and I had no idea just how complicated the tale would prove to be as it progressed.
I did wonder how Kate could be so trusting of Ryan with her five-year-old son, so soon after meeting him. Same for him with his daughter. It makes sense as the story progresses, but initially I found that quite odd. Considering what Kate has gone through, and is still going through, I would be very mistrusting of anyone and everyone if I was her. I can’t imagine being confronted with not knowing exactly who I was or have any recollection of my past. It must be terrifying.
I found this to be a compelling read, by a new-to-me author, which is highly emotional and horrifying at times. It is also full of love, passion, and devotion. Love conquers all, after all, and who doesn’t love a happy ending!?
** According to Amazon I purchased the kindle edition of Wait for Me on 2nd January 2013. I have since downloaded the prequel **
A woman without a past…
After a tragic accident left her with no memory, Kate Alexander struggled to fit in with a husband and world that didn’t feel right. She’s had no reason to question what friends and family have told her, not until her husband is suddenly killed and she finds a photo of a young girl in his office. A girl who can’t be anyone but a daughter Kate didn’t know she had.
A man desperate for a reason to live…
Ryan Harrison lost his wife in a plane crash five years ago. To cope with the pain of her loss, he dedicated himself to his job and to raising their daughter. Now a successful pharmaceutical executive, Ryan has everything a man could want—money, fame and power—but he’d give it all up in a heartbeat for just one more day with the woman he still loves.
Two lives about to converge.
As Kate begins to dig into a past she doesn’t remember, evidence leads her to San Francisco and puts her on the path toward Ryan, a man who sees in her the woman he loved and lost. Kate feels a draw to Ryan, one she can’t explain, but is that feeling enough to convince her this is where she’s supposed to be? As Ryan and Kate search for answers, they uncover lies long buried, a passion hotter than either expected and a danger that threatens…even now…when the second chance they’ve both been searching for is finally within reach.
