K.A. Tucker- Burying Water

This book should have been the book I read before Becoming Rain but I don't feel like Becoming Rain told me too much about this book. I didn't know the character's story here. I would suggest reading them in order, but nothing was ruined for me by reading out of order. (You can see my Becoming Rain review here).

I knew just a little about these characters but if this book was written like the 2nd one, then I knew I would get sucked into these characters' lives.  And I did! I really enjoyed how this story moved from the present in Jane's life to the past in Jesse's life. I wondered when/how their stories would begin to intertwine. 

The anticipation of finding out Water's story intensified as the book moved along. We, the reader, ultimately knows what the end result was, but the story itself was unknown. The thin line between then and now grows smaller and smaller. Whew! I enjoyed everyone is Water's life and getting to know her. Some things were unexpected but this book was good. This book was completely captivating and kept me on the edge of my seat. I thought I knew some things, but to watch them unfold.... SO MUCH BETTER THAN WATCHING TV OR A MOVIE!  Gah, this book!  Please do yourself a favor and read it.  Go, now! 

The highly anticipated start of a new romantic suspense series from the beloved, USA Today 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 "hane 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 like 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.
