Remy Reed finds a person trying to swim to shore off the coast of Maine. She is the only one with a boat close enough to go out and save him from a briny death. When she gets him back to shore, he has no idea who he is, he has a head wound and some broken ribs. She nurses him back to health until he develops pneumonia and has to be transported by plane to a hospital on the mainland. Once in the ER of the hospital, he is recognized by one of the staff. After that, he begins to regain bits and pieces of his memory, but he just doesn't want to let go of Remy.
Becky Wade has put into this book a bit of mystery, a bit of dysfunction, a bit of entitlement, and a bit of introversion. I can relate to Remy's desire for a quiet life. I am rather introverted myself.
In navigating the ins and outs of this particular novel, the reader can become so engrossed as to not put the book down until it is finished. It's not a particularly tough read, and there are some tender moments that just make the reader's heart sing. Becky has also set up a scenario for the next novel in the series. It wasn't the most skillful set up, but it is there if you watch for it.
Four stars.
