My Review:
Running to You by Robin Patchen is the first book I have read by this author. The beginning of a series seemed like a great place to try a new author.
Running to You starts fairly mild, but before you have a sense of the story, danger has arrived on Sam's doorstep. His ex-girlfriend, Eliza, who broke his heart five years ago, is bruised and battered on his doorstep.She is suffering from amnesia, which is just one of the many problems she brings with her. Her last memories are of being with Sam.
Sam is a conundrum. He is practically married to his business and is very successful. He seems quick-tempered and hard. But at other times, he is more mild-tempered. He is not perfect, and has become a Christian since the last time Eliza had seen him.
Eliza is also multi-layered. Obviously, with her amnesia, we don't know who she is now, only what Sam knew of her previously. As her memories start coming back, she becomes a very sympathetic character. You feel the anger that Sam feels at what Eliza has been through.
I enjoy reading amnesia stories. It is always interesting to see what triggers the memories and how they come flooding back. I found the story captivating and hard to put down. I wanted to know everything Eliza had gone through and if she and Sam should give their relationship another try. The story is full of twists and turns to keep you guessing and turning the page.
I will be looking for other books by this author. Thank you to JustReads and the author for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
About the Book
From a USA Today Bestselling author...
Sam never understood why Eliza left him five years ago, ghosting him without explanation. He’s avoided romance ever since, focusing on building his business. Money might not keep him warm at night, but it can sure buy a lot of blankets.
Then Eliza shows up on his doorstep and throws herself into his arms. She can’t explain her bruises or the head injury that’s left her with no memories of the past five years, including their breakup. No matter how good it feels to hold her, though, there’s no way he’s getting sucked into romance again.
He’ll deliver Eliza to her mother, and that will be that. But instead of finding her mom, they’re met by two attackers and barely escape alive. Despite the danger to his life and his heart, he can’t leave Eliza to fend for herself.
Together, they embark on a journey to reconstruct her past while evading the men chasing her. As Sam and Eliza close in on the truth, their romance reignites, but her secret threatens to destroy them both.
Prepare to be enthralled by this gripping story of amnesia, a second chance at love, and a secret baby. Running to You is an edge-of-your-seat Christian romantic suspense set in Maine that will keep you reading all night long.
