When Ava Emerson wakes up from a coma, she has no memory of the past 25 years.

Learning that her husband, Connor, died in the car accident that caused her amnesia, Ava is sad and heartbroken.

When her nightmares become terrifying memories, Ava becomes determined to move on and start a new life for herself, away from the town that holds the secrets to her past.

With the encouragement of Chase, Ava and Skylar open a bed and breakfast together in the heart of Savannah, Georgia.

When a tall, dark, and handsome Xander Jamison walks into her life, will Ava feel safe enough to let him into her broken and empty life? Will Ava be able to move on and live her life free of a haunting past? Is Xander the man that Ava thinks he is? Or does he hold his own secrets?

Rating: 4.5*

Imagine not being able to remember who you are or anything that has happened in your life. This is reality for Eva when she comes out of a coma after a car accident. It does become apparent that her life was not all hearts and roses before the accident as life with her husband is revealed to be tumultuous.

As she starts to rebuild her life and the relationships around her, her memories start to return bringing confusion and hurt to the surface. Eva and her friend Skylar follow a long held dream to run a Bed and Breakfast as a fresh start for Eva.

The secrets are abound in this read as there is so much about her life before the accident and the accident itself that still need to be uncovered.

I loved the feel of this one: the emotions the writing illicit. It is told from multiple POVs that each reveal a little bit of the puzzle but not too much and this keeps you totally engaged with the story and wanting more.
