Vera Custodio has never fallen in love, though she has strong feelings for her friend and sometimes lover, Zach Spencer. Long-forgotten memories resurface when Vera discovers Zach’s mother was the woman her father supposedly murdered many years ago.After losing his leg, former triathlete Zach Spencer reevaluates his life—and realizes he’s falling in love with Vera. After she ends their relationship, Zach is determined to prove his love and follows her to Australia in search of the killer.
Caught between a web of family secrets and a deranged adversary, Vera and Zach must depend on each other for survival. Love blossoms, but the truth explodes everything Vera knows about herself. Will she close her heart forever or risk it all for a shot at happily-ever-after?
My Reaction: Let me say that this is the second book that I have had the privilege of reading by Rachelle Ayala. Both were equally entertaining and had me reading late into the night. Knowing Vera grabs you right from the beginning, I don't remember a simple prologue being so descriptive or heart wrenching.
The tangled web of a story that unfolds will keep you on your mind guessing at who is or is not to blame. Throwing in a romance adds another wonderful layer to this story. This is one of those novels that you really should schedule time to read, once started you will not be able to put it down until the very last page. A little teaser for you: Did her father really die before her own eyes? Is he still alive, trying to connect with her? Who is the villain? Who is not? Will she find her "happy ending" in love? Or is it all for not?
I highly recommend reading all of Rachelle Ayala's novels, she has a unique way of capturing a readers attention and keeping it to the absolute end. I feel as if I am slightly now becoming obsessed with her books, wanting more and more. Be sure to look below for all of Rachelle's links to keep up to date on all the new happenings with her career. Most importantly to keep up to date with any new books that come out.
