About this audiobook

The highly anticipated start of the “masterful” (New York Journal of Books) romantic suspense series from the beloved nationally bestselling author of Ten Tiny Breaths.

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.

    Very nice story! Reading comments about this book I expected it to be excellent, but it wasn't my K.A.Tuckers best book. Nevertheless, nice!

    Great listen by KA Tucker. This book has more suspense than romance. But I still enjoyed. Alex's story was gut wrenching. But I'm so glad that Alex & Jesse got their HEA.  Amazing Narration by Elizabeth Louise & Josh Goodman (he's a new to me narrator)

    I loved this book and loved the characters. Sucked me right in. I accidentally listened to Chasing River first (out of order) which was really great too.

    It kept my attention for sure! I have not loved any of the main male characters in this authors novels but maybe that will change? I’ve read 3 of her books so far.

    Quick summary
    A young woman is discovered in the woods, barely alive after having been brutally beaten. She survives but awakens with no memory of who she is or what happened to her. Rather than be referred to as Jane Doe, she chooses to call herself Water after discovering a tattoo symbol for it. Jesse Welles, son of the sheriff, knows more than he's acknowledging and it's through him that we learn each of their stories.

    What I found interesting
    The story is told from two points of view with time flashbacks. It may sound like a recipe for disaster but it worked very well. As I dealt with aspects of the present as told from Water's point of view, the flashbacks in Jesse's provided a certain context for unraveling this mystery. It kept me thinking and always in the story. There were moments that are tough to deal with but they were appropriate for the circumstances. As Water's body begins to heal, her spirit goes through a catharsis as well.

    The narration
    I'm a big fan of multiple narrators and it was even more useful given how the story was framed. Josh Goodman gave a wonderful performance, putting energy into the character in all the right ways. While Elizabeth Louise projected the fragility of Water, her inability to provide the distinction between the character's inner musings and active dialogue was pretty confusing.

    The bottom line
    I enjoyed this story immensely even though the romance was a bit elusive given Water's amnesia and Jesse's subterfuge. The secondary relationships strengthened the story and weren't just props for the main characters. The resolutions were quite messy and thought-provoking. I wasn't aware this was a series when I started the book but I'm looking forward to continuing as the other characters have enough weight to keep me intrigued.
