Wait for Me Against All Odds #1, by Elisabeth Naughton

A 2012 Readers' Choice Awards Finalist in Romantic Suspense!

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.

Sorry, I fell asleep at 40%, before I could check-in. It was very late here.

I'll go ahead and do an update now, before I go on. Then do another at 50%.

BOOK QUOTE: “He’s over you, you know,” Julia went on. “He date lots of women, has since just after you left. I think he stay with them when he goes on trips. One time, I call his hotel, and a girl answered.”

Ouch! Man-on-man! That one hurt, as it was meant to. Pre-pubescent kids really know how to zing one in there.

I know! Good think he's dead, or I'd reach in and kill him myself. I'm thinking he kidnapped her because he's was in love with her - some sort of psycho nutjob.

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments Re book quote: It really hurt. I both didn't like Julia and felt bad for her. She's just a child who doesn't want to be hurt anymore.

I didn't think of that!
I keep thinking he knew all the while that she had a real husband and he still pretended to be her husband and had sex with her and pretended to be Reed's father . He was one sick bastard.


message 33: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new) - added it

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Yeah, I figure all that, too. What other explanation could there be? I mean, he had to know she wasn't his wife!!! And that Reed wasn't his kid! He sounds like a sick-o.
