About this audiobook
Olivia Adler is a woman with a troubled past. After losing her parents at the age of six and being raised by an uncle who she lost years later, she refuses to get attached to anyone, including friends. For the past decade, she has been able to remain unattached to any man, too worried about losing someone to get too close-that is, until Alexander Burnham walks into her life one night and changes everything.
But Alexander has issues of his own, and he's keeping a secret that could turn Olivia's world upside-down. Will Olivia let Alexander in enough for him to get close and protect her from a force that threatens her very existence, or will she push him away in order to protect her heart?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Olivia Aldar has been alone for almost her entire young life and into her adult life. Although she suffered from the lost of everyone in her life she never get over the lost. She also did not trust anyone because she for fear of losing everyone again. She met someone who became important and she love him but when her memories began to come back she decides to run again.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I was instantly sucked into Alexander & Olivia's world.
The storyline was fast paced and kept me guessing.
The book starts with a young woman being attacked and rescued by the gorgeous Alexander. She doesn't know it then, but he is the same little boy who rescued her many years ago. As her and Alexander grow closer, feelings run deep. Together they form an intimate relationship and Alexander does everything to keep her safe.
The book was packed with mystery and romance.
The sex scenes were erotic and hot! Their connection was undeniable and their love was intoxicating.
My only complaint is at the end of the book I was left with my jaw hung open. I kept flipping and flipping... like no this cannot be how it ends! I am now so anxious to see where the Author takes the characters next. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is definitely on my must reread this book again list! I don’t even know where I should go with this review! There wasn’t anything I didn’t like about this book! It is absolutely phenomenal!
Olivia can’t remember her life before her parents died. Alexander has never believed she died that day like his dad said she did. Now the two have crossed paths again. Their bond proves to be strong. They were best friends in their past life. However, their past life is slowly catching up to them, well at least Olivia.
Alexander’s love for Olivia could destroy them. He is of the mind that the less she knows and remembers about their past, the better chance for her to stay alive. He is convinced that she could some how be in danger if she remembers her life before her parents’ death. But she is slowly remembering. He knows if he keeps their lives that she doesn’t remember from her, it could break her. But he will do anything to protect her in every way possible.
Olivia has had the same nightmares since she was a little girl. Now, her nightmares are becoming more clear and detailed. More and more memories are coming to the surface. She can’t seem to piece them together. There is something about Alexander that is so familiar and comfortable. The feelings she has for him scare her. She has spent her life not forming connections and relationships. Now she has Alexander and all she wants to do is spend time with him and run at the same time.
Olivia and Alexander’s relationship is like a volcano ready to explode. And it does whenever they are near each other. Their feelings are so intense, there are no words that come to mind right now. But secrets may destroy them.
And there’s a difference between finding someone good looking and finding them attractive. You can be good looking and not be attractive. Being attracted to someone isn’t just digging them on a physical level. It’s something more. It’s opening your soul to someone, letting them in. Telling them your hopes and dreams and fears. Letting them know the real you.
T.K. Leigh has a way to tell this story in such a way that will not allow you to put this book down. She will have you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next ball to drop. By the end of this book she will have you hook, line and sinker. You will be disappointed in the ending but at the same time not disappointed. I can’t tell you why. But let’s just say instead of things being resolved and getting a happy ending, you get to take the dredge further down in to a deeper pile of suspense and wonder. You will be reeling and begging for more. You get more but not until next year. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I cried for Alexander so much. He was so young when he lost Olibia and he loved her. Still does. Searched all his life for her refusing to believe anything anyone said to him because deep down he knew. He knew she was out there. He's a sweet and yet intense man who is hurt and feels betrayed but more than anything he feels guilt. he feels he let Olivia down.Olivia, a confused woman who can't remember her past tries to not like Alexander but is drawn to him. One thing she always does though is run. She runs from her problems. She runs from her feelings. Always afraid to get to close but Alexander begins to push through. They love each other but her past is a elephant in the room. Alexander wants to protect her from the pain but he also wants her to be strong and know. He struggles constantly with telling her but he sees her nightmares and holds her when she has them and that keeps him warring with telling her. Olivia though doesn't realize what she really has and does the biggest bonehead move of all and that guts Alexander more than she can ever imagine. In the meantime she is in danger and doesn't realize it. Alexander was trying to keep her safe and she always scoffed it. Poor Alexander though he is going to find out that those he trusts are going to betray him as well. So now he is crushed and being betrayed. I feel for him. A book about love, trust and overcoming your fears that will leaving you feeling for Alexander, crying anger and tears for Olivia and just wanting more. The next one I hope Alexander gets to find her. Please let him reach her in more ways than just physically.
