Celia isn’t sure why but she trusts Remo from the moment she meets him. Though she can’t remember the details, she knows that it is Xavier’s father who poses the greatest danger. She’s reluctant to involve Remo in her troubles, but she’ll do anything to keep her son safe. The last thing she expects is to be attracted to him.
I really liked Celia and Remo as a couple. Remo is an awesome man. He is kind, compassionate, and has a huge heart. His caring is evident from the moment he met Celia and Xavier. I loved how he believed her fears immediately and promised to take care of them both. I also enjoyed his instant connection with Xavier. The two of them were cute together, and it was easy to see that Xavier had made a place for himself in Remo’s heart. Celia is incredibly strong though she doesn’t see it herself. She escaped a dangerous situation and managed to keep them safe for five years. There are sparks between Remo and Celia from the start. Remo is something of a loner because of things that happened in his childhood. His few attempts to share those events resulted in him feeling more alone than ever and unwilling to risk it happening again. But something about Celia makes him want to trust her. I ached for him as he opened up to her and felt his vulnerability as he waited for her reaction. Celia has trust issues also after being so long in hiding. She also worries about trusting her judgment after making such a big mistake with Xavier’s father. The intensity of their situation ramps up their connection as Celia and Remo depend on each other. The ending was great, and I loved the epilogue. Remo’s big moment was sweet and fun.
The suspense of the story was great, with nearly nonstop action from the very first page. Celia’s fear was evident from the start. Her missing memories were a complication, but she knew enough to realize that she was in danger. Because of his past, Remo was in a place where he understood and believed in her. As Celia and Remo struggle to stay ahead of the people who are after her, Celia’s memory slowly begins to return. The intensity increased as each new memory brought her closer to knowing the who and the why but also brought the danger closer. The final confrontation had me on the edge of my seat as everything finally came together. I especially loved how the women had an active role in their rescue and had to laugh a little at the comments they made at the end.
I really enjoyed this book from beginning to end. It had a lot of mystery going on and a lot of action. From the time Remo DeLuca finds car-wreck victim Celia Poller, who can’t remember who she is, but she begs Remo to save her son. Remo and Celia are now one of my favorite H/Hs and I just love Xavier, her son. This was my first book by Melinda Di Lorenzo, but it definitely won’t be my last.
