“I have to say when Becca Jameson goes in a new direction, she goes big!”—Carol, verified purchaser It’s been ten years… For Ryan it’s been the longest ten years of his life. For Emily it’s been days. He spent those ten years developing a cure for the virus she contracted. She spent those ten years in a cryostat, her life suspended. She’s not the only one to be reanimated, but she is the first. … suspended.
She’s not the only one to be reanimated, but she is the first.
The media is surrounding the compound.
The religious zealots are picketing.
But people have lives to live, and somehow they have to move forward.
Ryan still has work to do. People to revive. A disease to cure.
Emily has a blank slate. She can go anywhere. Do anything.
She can’t stay in the bunker. It casts a pall over everyone.
Now is not the time for distractions.
Now is not the time to fall in love.

I received a copy of this book via the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A really good romance with a bit more.
I have to honest here… I don’t ordinarily read this type of book but it was suggested by the author and a good friend, so I gave it chance. I’m really glad I did too!
Ryan’s family are scientists who’ve been exposed to a virus and have had to be “cryopreserved”. Emily is the scientist who was closest to discovering the cure when it was her turn to go into stasis and has been chosen to be the first to come out. It’s definitely a sci-fi based story but it is so much more than that. There are people out to put a stop to the program and people out there to exploit it. Oh… and a bit of romance along the way too.
Reviving Emily is an entertaining romantic suspense by Becca Jameson with a little sci-fi twist. Ms. Jameson has provided readers with a well-written book loaded with fantastic characters. Emily has been in a lab accident and everyone is infected. She is finally suspended in a cryostat and now that a cure is available she is finally being reanimated. Ryan’s parents were both suspended at the same lab and he’s worked for 10 years finding a cure and putting together a team to reanimate all of those in cryostats. Ryan and Emily’s story is packed with drama, humor, sizzle, action and suspense. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from Becca Jameson in the future. Reviving Emily is book 1 of the Project DEEP Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from Bookfunnel. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I wanted to like this book – I really did. I thought the premise was compelling. Unfortunately, it droned on way too long with the heroine vacillating as to whether she wanted to continue the career she’d had prior to stasis. I just wanted it to be over. And although there was an HEA of sorts, the conclusion wasn’t particularly satisfying. Just didn’t work for me.
Definitely a different story. I kept wanting to skip to the end!
This is my personal opinion and should not influence your decision to read this book.
I’m not sure what genre this should be classified as it feels a little paranormal but has a ton of science behind the storyline.
It is well written with an interesting storyline but I find it dragged. I realize since it’s the first book in a new series there had to be a setup of sorts but I’m on chapter nine and I’m finding it slow going.
The heroine’s back and forth while understandably for the story was annoying at times. I’m sure I’ll eventually read the others but I’m not diving right in.
Ryan has been set on finding a cure and a way to revive his parents and their entire team after an accident on the lab. The entire team has been vitrified with hopes of a cure. Ryan finally found that cure, now to revive the team, starting with Emily. Ryan already feels a connection to Emily since it was her research that he studied and grew into the cure. Now that Emily is reanimated, she feels off kilter. To her its been like going to sleep and waking the next day, when it’s really been 10 years. The first face she sees is Ryan and oh what a face! There are many issues that they must work through, and watching that journey was amazing. I was pulled in and didn’t want to stop reading, I can’t wait for the next book!!
I have to say when Becca Jameson goes in a new direction, she goes big!
This series centers on a group of researchers who had been infected by a sample and cryogenically frozen until a cure could be found.
The doctor who finds this cure and puts together a team to ‘thaw’ the subjects is the son of two of the researchers, Ryan Arnand.
Now the first person to go through this process is not one of his parents. Emily Zorich, a hemotologist, was close to a cure when she was taken down by the disease. It was decided that she would be an asset to their team, and she could also evaluate the work Ryan has done that led to the cure. Even though his work has cured many, there was concern that the disease might have mutated over the years and might not be effective on those scientists originally infected.
In spite of all the secrecy involved as it has always been a government facility, things leak. There had been other attempts at revival of people that had be cryogenically frozen that were unsuccessful, due to the different circumstances of the patients.
Life changes rapidly for Emily, for everyone it’s been ten years but for her it feels like just yesterday. Ryan and her have a spark that can’t be denied and even as the powers that be want to send her into hiding for her own protection, the relationship blooms hot and heavy.
Plenty of suspense as the protesters and press come out in full force and some crazies too.
I can’t wait for the next ‘revival’!
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest
Emily lost ten years of her life to a disease
Ryan is found a cure.
Are these two ready to build a life together ?
Or are they still stuck in the past ?
The storytelling + the character’s build were awesome!
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in the series!
I just loved how this was not only about falling in love but how Emily tries to adapt to life after being in a cryostat for 10 years and the attention from the public once word gets out. Ryan has been so dedicated to finding a cure for a disease that was killing people and it took 10 years for him and his tea t finally get there and now he is at the point where he can start to re awaken not only Emily but the team that includes his Mum and Dad who were originally trying to find a cure but got infected also. Ryan is so caring of Emily and doesn’t want to push her however also doesn’t want to let her go so is pulled between continuing his work and building something with Emily. You can feel how torn he is as well as the feeling of being lost in the new world and trying to find out what she really wants not only in life going forward but also with Ryan. I can not wait for book 2 to see what happens next!!
This subject was such an interesting one and one handled so well from Becca. Both Ryan and Emily were wonderful characters and I loved how Emily had to handle being brought back from a cryogenic state. Along with a wonderful plot there was lots of action and emotions in this story. Great chemistry and sexy time along with secondary characters that were also likeable. Let alone the general reactions that the public had as I fully believe this is how the situation would get this type of response. This was a fantastic story that is well worth reading. Loved it!! I am voluntarily reviewing an arc I received.
Loved it! Great start to a new series. A well written terrific storyline with fantastic characters. Loved the cutting edge science with a futuristic edge along with the steamy romance and suspense. Ryan is the boss! Reviving Emily in more ways than one 😉 Worth the read. Can’t wait for the next one. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.
Reviving Emily Project DEEP Book 1
by Becca Jameson
What a pleasant surprise this book is very well written. Reviving Emily story is very fascinating. I never expected Becca Jameson to have such a scientific mind, or that her research into this subject would be so meticulous. I don’t normally enjoy reading medical stories because I worked in this field and most of the time they aren’t believable but Reviving Emily is a totally different it’s what I enjoy reading without having to lower my expectations. I’m excited and happy to read how Becca Jameson’s impressive writing would make some drool with this story. Her writing is magical with her abilities its also such a surprise with this type of story with romance. I never in my life imagined that a medical story would keep me on the edge of my seat of all things. Even though all of the characters are fascinating the story is focused mainly on Emily and Ryan. Of course, I have enjoyed reading a lot of Becca Jameson books and they are not complete without a strong male character. This isn’t how I would say Ryan is at first glance, but it does nicely fit him as the story goes on. Emily is a doctor who has missed ten years of her life because of the virus and when Ryan discovered the cure she was the first. Ryan became a formidable presence in her life he was protective, sexy, and her life line. The story also has a great sense of humor, drama and love. This is a enjoyable read that you can kicked back and enjoy this story it’s too cute!
The chemistry between Emily and Ryan is absolutely off the charts. They constantly find themselves in each other’s arms, but Emily is stubborn enough to want Ryan to stick around and force him to live. The sexual tension is great – a nice, slow, build up. When they were together, I thought that they would combust. These two characters are meant for each other. The book also flip-flopped between the main characters point of view. I always enjoy knowing the inner workings of the individual characters. What I found myself looking for was more depth of emotion in certain scenes, which made it to the degree I was hoping for. Although we get a clearsense of the love between the hero and heroine, some scenes tugged at my heartstrings more, than I desperately wanted them to. But all and all this is the medical story I quite enjoyed. I am so excited and anxious to read the next story in the series. I highly recommend this book it’s a must read.
Reviving Emily, the newest book from author Becca Jameson is a thrilling suspenseful read. Ms. Jameson combines, science, a little science fiction, romance and suspense that captures you from the first chapter and doesn’t let you go until the very end. The range of emotions that Ms. Jameson was able to evoke from me made this a captivating read that I didn’t want to ever end. Although I love Becca Jameson and all her books, I must admit that I was a little leery about reading this book but once again Ms. Jameson delivers a fantastic read.
The story revolves around Dr. Emily Zorich and Dr. Ryan Anand. Emily was cryonically frozen just before succumbing to a horrible blood disease. A disease that Ryan is very familiar with as his parents were also victims of the disease. When Ryan discovers a cure and brings Emily back, the friendship they develop as he helps her adjust to this new and different world is heart-warming. You see the world through Emily’s eyes as she tries to adjust to living again with the knowledge that 10 years have passed. And you see the world through Ryan’s eyes as he realizes that this woman is special to him and not just for her mind. With all the good, of course, comes some bad and watching Emily navigate with Ryan’s help made the book more wonderful.
Becca Jameson has a unique way with her characters and doesn’t disappoint with this newest book. This is one book you’ll pick up and not want to put down. So, if you are looking for a great summer read by the pool or beach? Add Reviving Emily to your library!
Emily has been in cryostat for the past ten years. Ryan worked on and found a cure for the blood disease that was killing her. An action packed, drama filled good read. I am looking forward to more books in this series.
I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Imagine going to sleep and waking up ten years later. You haven’t changed but the world has. Your loved ones have aged and technology, science, the world in general has passed you by. That’s what Dr. Emily Zorich faces after being cryonically perserved just before succumbing to a fatal blood disorder. Dr Ryan Anand, the man who discovered the cure for her disease, is by her side as she navigates this crazy new world she’s re-entering. Not only must they deal with religious zealots who condemn science for playing God, the lunatic fringe that believe in vampires and zombies and the ever persistent media but what the future holds for them individually and as a couple. Emily’s life is endangered and while she’s rescued she feel it might be best to just disappear because she can’t bear the thought of anyone losing their life protecting her. Ryan quickly and succinctly disabuses her of the notion, convincing her he’s all in and cannot live without her in his life.
Becca Jameson has penned an absolutely fascinating story combining sci-fi and romantic suspense. These characters are so well crafted, richly layered and emotionally charged. The story is evenly paced with some edge of your seat moments that keep you turning the page to find out what happens next.
What a unique and original story! The book stars out slow and thoughtful, them bam! It pulls you in and doesn’t let go. I was surprised with many aspects of this book because I thought it was going to be more science fiction, more “out-there” when in reality it was a heart warming love story. There were some heart stopping moment as I might have swooned once, just saying. I was pleasantly satisfied with this story and look forward to more. I received an ARC and I am leaving an honest review.
