Ten years later, with a resume that said I had the perfect kill shot, I landed a job at a Security firm. Finding my way in the civilian life, I never thought it would be her I would find. She still owned … would be her I would find.
She still owned my heart. She still looked at me like I was a stranger. I wasn’t leaving her again. This time, we were playing by my rules. I’d been given a second chance to right my wrongs and I was going to start by claiming what was mine.
We were lovers at twenty-eight.
Getting married at twenty-nine.
Until she woke up and remembered me.

What a story! A second-chance romance of sorts with Kase returning from boot camp to find his young fiancé, Everly, has no recollection of him after an accident left her with amnesia. When events cause Kase to leave town, the story jumps forward 10 years and shows Kase has left the navy hailed a hero, moved to a new town and started a new life, but Everly is never far from him thoughts. Then he sees her again! Now going by “Ellie” and still with no recollection of him, this is his chance to try again with the love of his life… or is it?
I don’t even know where to start, this was such a good story with twists and turns galore, action, drama, OMG moments and of course romance. Tina Saxon is quite the story teller and I’m glad I was drawn to this book as I really enjoyed it. I give Blinding Echo 5 stars.
The title of this book is perfect! This story is amazing! Way to go Ms. Saxon!
This isn’t your typical love story. There is so many blindsides that will throw your heart and mind through the wringer..
This is the story of love in all of it’s different facets. I don’t want to say the characters names in my review, because I don’t want to take away the experience of reading this for the first time. Believe me that even though I have just finished it, I will definately be re-reading it. I know I will learn something new and different.
This story is going to make you laugh, it’s going to make you cry and it’s going to give you all the feels! I didn’t know who to root for….I just wanted everybody to end up happy and Ms. Saxon is able to give the story just that. It may not be perfect, it may not be what everybody will want to see, but it made the story more real to me.
This story is in the running for my “Fave Reads of 2018”.
Do yourself a favor, read this story, go into it with an open mind and heart. It’s gonna make you gasp and make your heartbeat a little different.
Wow!!! So many twist and turns that I didn’t see coming. This is the first book of Tina’s that I have read and can honestly say it most definitely won’t be the last!
Every and Baxter, two teen lovers that met when they were ten years old, we inseparable until he left for the military. When he came home after basic training, his world is turned upside down. He found his love of his life in the hospital after a horrible life changing car accident that left Everly with no memories of him. Bax is forced to walk away.
Years later, they lay eyes on each other. Their journey to find/rekindle love will take many trials, tribulations and lots of unexpected plot twists will have you trying to unscramble the puzzle of these characters. This book had all the feels that I look for in reading and I am positive you will love it as much as I did!
.5
Blinding Echo is steeped in suspense. It is action packed and filled with characters who are relatable and likeable. The men are amazing and the women are fierce. The writing is solid and kept me reading into the wee hours of the morning. That being said, it was worth spending the time.
I loved the way the prologue drew me in and the way the first chapter did a wonderful job of laying the foundation for understanding the relationship between the Kase and Everly. Kase is hardworking and loyal. Everly is smart and fearless.
Their love story is epic.
I got caught up in the secrets that both characters were hiding from each other. The passion they displayed for each other is undeniable.
The complexity and nuances of the story were quite hard to keep up with. However, that is the very thing which kept me reading. I needed to figure out exactly what was happening.
I will be interested to see who gets the next book in this series. There are so many personalities who would be fun to read about. Tina Saxon has written a great starting story. I am looking forward to reading more of her work.
Excellent book! I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this book and one of the characters having amnesia (not something I usually like), but I have to say this book really surprised me! It was written so well it just flowed, the storyline was so good, the characters had time to develop & the relationships between the characters felt so real. This author made you feel all the emotions. All the secrets she slowly unfurled…I did not see it coming! I would absolutely recommend this book to everyone! So good!
Wow…just wow! Incredible story!
This book has been on my kindle for a few months and I’m kicking myself for not having read it sooner!
The emotions this story put me through were intense. This was my first book by the author and I am incredibly impressed with her storytelling skills! Without giving anything away, this is one heck of a mind twist and one tightly woven story of incredible depth.
I will definitely read more books by this author.
I really liked it until the end. It went a bit off the rails for me at that point.
Unexpected twists that made story interesting
The book’s plot is great and keeps you guessing. There was a little too much sex in the book for me. It was an enjoyable book to read.
Great Story & Audible Listen Heartfelt & Emotional!

This is a beautifully written book with some amazing twists and turns that blew my mind. Tina Saxon is a new to me author and I enjoyed her writing style and the interesting storylines and characters she created. The story starts with Kase and Everly, their young love and bright future, Kase heading off to bootcamp to fill his dream of becoming a Navy Seal and then they would be married. When he returns home from bootcamp he finds Everly was severely injured in a car accident and was left with no memories of who she is or her life. Another tragic incident happens and he is told by Everly Dad it is best if he leaves and never comes back. He goes off to serve his county and became a Navy Seal. After a heroic career he returned to civilian life relocates to Gilley Cove and starts a new a career in private security & investigations. He never forgot Everly, even thought he saw her in the crowd. Then he meets her, Ellie, and he is convinced he is her, of course she has not memory of him so he plans on wooing her and make her fall in love with him all over. I loved these two together, she had issues and hid truths from Kase, truths she was afraid to tell him, afraid he’s leave. He wants to tell her he knows her, knows what happened to her 10 years earlier but is waiting for the right time. He is also waiting for her to open up to him. I loved how all this played out and love what happens next. Tina Saxon just pulls the rug out from everyone with her plot twist. Brilliantly done too. I highly recommend this book, the story is moving with plenty of emotional moments, there is also drama, angst and romance that leads to true love. Tina Saxton, thank you for this great story and emotional rollercoaster ride. I am looking forward to checking out more of your work, I hope to see more of it on Audible soon.
I listened to the Audible edition, narrated by the talented Melissa Moran and Gregory Salinas. They are wonderful voice performers and entertaining storytellers. They bring these characters to life, give each their own voice and personality. I loved their portrayal of these characters, you can hear how much heart they put into their performance as they project the emotions of the characters making your feel what they are feeling. Thank you for another amazing listen

Kase and Everly has a love that they thought would last forever, everything is planned out for them and nothing can break them apart. Kase decides to join the military and assures Everly that he will be back in eight weeks and they can start their life, only no one is there to met him at the airport. Everly has an accident not long after he left, and she has amnesia and doesn’t know how anyone is.
With Everly’s father holding a secret that can destroy Kase, he tells him to leave and never look for her again, Kase dedicated himself to the Navy Seals for ten years.
Seeing Everly at a bar in the town where he works for an elite security team, he sees Everly, but she’s using Ellie now. He’s plan he got her to fall in love with him once he can do it again.
That’s where the story takes some interesting turns, which you don’t see coming and at times got confusing. There is a HEA just not one you would expect.
