Gosh, it's been forever since I've posted a review. I promise I will get better at this. Im still getting the hang of writing non spoiler filled reviews! Here recently I've had a lot of health issues so I haven't had the time or desire to do much of anything other than sleep. But I'm mending the corner and getting some new posts written up for you!
A wonderful friend I made on Instagram @cecereads actually sent me my next read, Burying Water by K.A. Tucker. You should definitely go check out her lovely bookstagram account over on Instagram and give her a follow! Burying Water has become one of my favorite reads for 2015! This is the first book in a series of new adult romantic suspense novels by K.A. Tucker.
The top-selling, beloved indie author of Ten Tiny Breaths returns with a new romance about a young woman who loses her memory—and the man who knows that the only way to protect her is to stay away.
Left for dead in the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to “Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden marking on her body—the only clue to her past. Taken in by old Ginny Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let him step foot on her property? And why does Water feel she recognizes him?
Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Welles doesn’t know how long it will be before Water gets her memory back. For her sake, Jesse hopes the answer is never. He knows that she’ll stay so much safer—and happier—that way. And that’s why, as hard as it is, he needs to keep his distance. Because getting too close could flood her with realities better left buried.
The trouble is, water always seems to find its way to the surface.
My Thoughts:
***** FIVE STARS *****
Oh my god. This book is just wow. Like holy freaking wow! This is the first book by K.A. Tucker that I have had the pleasure of reading and it was sooooo freaking good guys! It was romantic, suspenseful and literally had me flipping through the pages quickly. It's a very intense book to read, but I loved every second of it!
It's been about three weeks since I finished this book and it's honestly taken me this long to write my review because I feel like I don't have the ability to write a review that would even begin to express how much I loved it! K.A. Tucker didn't write your typical love story in Burying Water, she went above and beyond. She wrote about real life and real love and the lengths you'll go too to protect the ones that you love and the sacrifices that you have to make to do so.
Burying Water follows the story of Jesse Welles; a twenty four year old gear head with a golden heart and Alexandria Petrov; a twenty two year old young woman trying to escape the life she's found herself lost in with her abusive Russian mobster husband. Their lives come crashing together after Jesse's small act of kindness on a deserted road one stormy night.
From the very first page this book had me hooked. I'm one of those people that if the writing style and I don't click I usually don't finish a book. So I was happy when I opened the book up to the first chapter and clicked with the writing. Tucker's writing style is very believable and very unique! I loved this book with all of my heart and soul. I cried and yelled and never wanted this story to end! The writing was spectacular and the story was gut wrenching, but so beautifully written.
K.A. Tucker makes you fall in love with her characters in the way that she writes for them. That's exactly what I did too. I fell hard for Jesse Welles! Seriously, he's mine! ;) Okay, fine! He's Alex's! When can share, right?
Jesse has a way of capturing your heart from the very first page. He's just this really relatable kind of character that's totally swoon worthy. Even though Jesse has had a troubled past you can tell that he's still a genuine person who wants nothing more than to do good and stay out of trouble. Normally when I'm reading a book I intend to like the female leads and I did love Alex, but I found myself for the first time in awhile loving the male lead as well! So kudos to Tucker for writing a believable male lead that I now want to marry. #fictionalboysarebetter
We first meet Alex in the hospital. She's been beaten, raped, and left for dead. But she has no memory of it. She has no memory of anything; including who she is. I'm kind of glad she didn't remember any of it though as far as the attack. I instantly felt for Alex, I mean how could you not! It was heartbreaking to feel her loneliness and her frustration of not knowing her own identity! But what I liked most about her was her strength. I mean it took a hell a woman to overcome everything she's been put through. Like Jesse says in the book, "He was given an angel and he tried to break her wings. But shes’s strong. Resilient."
This is probably one of my worst written reviews and I apologize tremendously. I may go back and rewrite this review another day because this book deserves a well written review. Seriously though, I highly recommend this book!! You won't be disappointed. You'll find yourself rooting for Jesse and Alex all the way to the very end! I wish this book was being made into a movie because it would be one hell of a story on the big screen!
