Wait for Me by Elisabeth NaughtonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A love that never dies. A love story that survives anything!!!!
An almost unbelievable story but so compelling that it becomes somehow believable! Okay, maybe I am not making sense here…but let’s take a look at the storyline of this book.
Kate Alexander’s life began when she woke up from a coma a year ago. She remembers nothing before that time.
Her husband is killed in an air crash and her life is turned upside down when she discovers documents and a foto of a small child that looks exactly like her, that he had kept locked in his study. This has her going on a mission to discover what else had been kept hidden from her.
Ryan Harrison, handsome and charismatic CEO of a huge pharmaceutical company had lost his wife, Annie, in an air crash 5 years previously. He has never got over her death, which caused him to become a hard and emotionless man.
A twist of fate, kismet…whatever one calls it… the two meet and Ryan is adamant that she’s his missing wife. Kate is not sure, even though she feels some connection to him and his daughter, Julia.
This is a fast paced story, filled with suspense, great dialogue, mystery, secret and dangerous doings in drug testing by companies, lies, deceit, family, love, humor and characters that you can sympathies with .
I certainly did not expect the twist at the end…..total surprise!!!!
I liked Kate Alexander and at first I thought Ryan Harrison was a bit of a dolt…make that an asshole. His reaction and behavior towards Kate was OTT most of the time but in the end I did warm up to him. Almost understood his pain and loss and how hard it was for him to find his lost love who remembers nothing about their life together.
Adored Julia– let’s just say that at times the things she did and say were a bit…like is this kid just 10 years old!!!! But seeing her pain at thinking that she may lose her mother again was pretty heartbreaking.
The other secondary character I loved was Kate’s brother, Mitch. He was a totally endearing character and I am eagerly waiting to read his story in the next book, Hold on to Me.
My favourite quote:
This is a really good read.
