A fairy tale, a morality tale, and an outstanding read! I am so glad that I picked this one out of my too tall TBR pile! An excellent read for the overwhelmed, disenchanted, and those suffering from the weather. The publisher’s blurb leaves nothing else for me to say about this one unless I stoop to spoilers, so grab a copy and make your day!
I liked it so much that I got the audio and I’m so glad I did! Jenny Hoops manages to make this fun story even better!
I received this book for free. I am voluntarily leaving this review and all opinions expressed herein are mine.
Here, Dr, Oberon operates on a patient who has no memory of his past. As she works to rehabilitate his injuries, she becomes taken with his personality and charm. She comes to learn that he was once a very dangerous man and has enemies.
This is a light and at times comical romance mystery adventure. The characters were enjoyable and well developed. The story moved at a good pace and had some nice twists.
I listened to this book – the narrator did an excellent job with the various characters and their accents.
I did enjoy this book but it didn’t live up to what I was expecting. I thought it would have more action as Duby fought to save the life of the women he loves, this wasn’t the case, it did have some fight scenes but focused more of the lost memory and the romance. The story jumped around explaining Duby’s memory loses from several of the characters perspective which kept the story interesting. I liked the characters, especially Duby’s time at school with the nuns.
When a patient near death arrives in her E.R Dr Oberon is reluctant to cover up his identity, especially as he has no idea of who he his or even speak. With pressure from a government agency she agrees and so starts a very long recovery that sees both of there world turned upside down. The problem is that as Duby re learns who he is with the help from his doctor he discovers the one thing that could put him back on the radar of the men that tried to kill him. His painting talent is quickly picked up but who is the mystery girl in everyone of his painting? Duby doesn’t know and just thinks she is in his head. As his painting find there way to an art gallery, one of those painting makes its way to an arms dealer with a daughter who looks just like the girl in the picture and soon Duby and his doctor have more to worry about than injuring his damaged knee. Especially with bullets flying.
The narrator was good and she did use different voices for the characters but Duby’s French accent just made me laugh, it didn’t make me think of a tough guy body guard and I found it hard to picture him.
