When one goes on a long overdue vacation the last thing they
expect is their past to come slap them in the face. Which is what happens to
both Jeremiah and Emma as they come face to face again after so many years
neither has forgotten the other how could they when their passion was so
powerful from the start. The author
really gives you an action packed read full of thrills, a few chills and danger
along with a budding romance that still has the same power it did from long
ago. It is nice to see the coin flip and have an older women and a younger man
it was charming as these two dance around each other both wanting the same
things but only one wants forever.
Let’s start with the narration of Mr. Taylor he has such a
deep sexy voice the listener is pulled in at once with the detail of the area
around them and the feelings of Jeremiah feeling of things being a little off. You can feel the power of the narrator as
Jeremiah’s eyes meet Emma’s for the first times in years. I found his female
voices to be just as delightful as he males ones. He really puts a lot of
emotion into his voice giving it so much power from the danger to the pain of
each character. You can hear the excitement to the fear and the unknown as
people take over their life. I did not hear any background noise or any places
where the volume is lower or higher than any other place in the audio. If any
breaks were taken I could not tell. Mr. Taylor paints a picture with his tones
that you have no trouble seeing in your mind from the passion to them being
taken. He gives you a wonderful clear, crisp delightful listen you will not be
able to put down. I have not listen to any of his work it was a delight to find
him as he brought me so much please giving me an audio I could not put down.
As Jeremiah and his
seal buddy board the ship he gets and uneasy feeling as frames flash in his
mind. Then he see her the women he can’t forget as she boards the ship, their
eyes meet she looks away and then turns back. He looks for a sign that she
remembers him what he gets are empty eyes of a women who doesn’t know him. He
takes this pretty hard how could she forget all they meant to each other. It is a very touching scene when they come
face to face again and she does a double take knowing just who is he is and
wondering how in the world she is going to make it through this vacation with
him so close and yet so far away. This is where the story takes off as they
remember their past painting a picture of so much pain and loss. They each want some answers which are not easy
to come by. Now they have another chance to right a wrong but it looks like
they will have to work through issues and maybe even than they will lose out on
the best love they could have had. At this point I am just going to say it was
a very powerful touching romance where two have to learn to work together to
get out of the danger they are in. The buildup of the romance was just as
exciting as the danger they fall into as people kidnap them leaving everyone scared
and afraid. Emma puts all her hope into one man from long ago hoping he can get
them out of this mess. Love pulls them in but will the danger give them a life
together if they make it out of it alive? The danger is very real as it gets down to following
the rules or be killed. There were times here I thought one or all of them may
die. Each character has to deal with issues of their own some might make the
wrong choice and be lost to the world forever.
The author gives you wonderful supporting characters some
are heroes in the making and others are just doing their jobs. Out of them all
my heart really went out to the old couple as I know what pain they must have
went through. A mother and son who lost their husband and he his father trying
to put some sunshine back in their life only to find they may lose their life. Emma’s
daughter is a strong wise little girl who will capture your heart. Jeremiah Seal buddy will keep you laughing as
he and Emma’s sister plot to get this romance started again only to feel so
guilty at the turn of events. They make a great team I hope they will make a
return in this series.
This really is full of action where you find you are holding
your breath waiting to find out how it all plays out hoping for the best but
knowing that most likely isn’t going to happen. As the end comes near your heart
breaks as Emma works out how she feels and then the ending comes which just
leaves you smiling. This is really a wonderful read that pulls the reader in
from the first page as the author gives you information that really hits you
hard. The author doesn’t need filler each word and each page has something
important to say that makes this a story you can’t put down. I have never read anything from this author
but I sure can’t wait to get my hands on the next audio.
