Series:
Sierra's Web (Book 11)
The woman he can't remember
…is about to become unforgettable
Who is he? Hotshot firefighter Luke Dennison has no
memory…until a beautiful blonde reporter reluctantly identifies him. Unknown to
Luke, Shelby is the mother of his son. Their brief affair ended badly. But now,
Luke and Shelby are running from a killer while rekindling a rocky romance. As
danger grows and Luke's memory gradually returns, will Shelby's secret add fuel
to the fire?
Terrific book that kept me glued to the pages from start
to finish. Luke is a hotshot firefighter who was found unconscious and injured
near a fire, with no memory of who he was or how he got there until a woman
came to the hospital to identify him.
Shelby had known Luke five years earlier when she had an
interview with him. They had an irresistible attraction that they gave into
until the morning she awoke, and he was gone. No goodbye, just a thank you note
and an envelope of cash. Hurt and furious, she wrote him off until she
discovered she was pregnant. When she confronted him, he called her a liar and
slammed the door in her face. She has raised her son on her own.
But when Shelby left the hospital, she never planned to
see him again. Unfortunately, on her way home, someone ran her off the road in
such a way that she could have died. When the police investigated, they
discovered her car had been tampered with.
Thus began a roller coaster ride of action and suspense
mixed with the emotions of dealing with their past. Luke's memory begins to
return, but some events remain MIA. An investigation into Luke's life reveals
some financial irregularities and actions he can't believe he did. Luke and Shelby,
along with the people of Sierra's Web, work to keep them safe and try to figure
out what is going on. The action and suspense are intense as the bad guy stays
on their tail no matter what precautions they take. I began to suspect part of
the truth, but the twist at the end shocked me. The final confrontation was
intense and had me on the edge of my seat until it was over.
The rekindling of the relationship between Luke and
Shelby was full of obstacles. Shelby is understandably wary of trusting Luke
but can't deny the sparks that still fly between them. Luke adamantly denies he
would have treated her the way she claims. As they spend time together, Shelby
sees the man she thought she knew but also knows what he did to her. I ached
for Luke and his emotional turmoil when he learned about Carter. They have much
to overcome, and it takes honest conversations to make it happen. The ending
was terrific, and I loved the scene with Carter.
