Recommendation
WOW… just wow! You know the kind of books that draw you in from the first few pages and then builds and builds, till you’re on the edge of your seat turning pages as fast as you can because you are so invested in the story and characters that you have no idea how it’s all going to play out?!? Yep, this is one of those. Be prepared to swoon, to laugh, to cry, to empathize, to question and to feel your heart race as this beautifully unique and suspenseful story unfolds. The bad news is that it ends in a cliffy. The good news is the sequel of this duet releases soon and you know my recommendation for that one is not far behind!
Excerpts
I was her now. She was my always. And I thought it would add up to forever.
A broken bone is nothing compared to a broken heart. One is a scratch. The other leaves a scar on your soul.
The people in our lives give color to our existence. When we love, we choose to let part of our heart – part of our soul – live inside of another person. Their happiness is our happiness. Their grief is our grief. And when they die… part of us dies too.
Publisher synopsis
“In another life, she was my forever.” An unexpected tragedy leaves Professor Nathaniel Hunt a widower alone with a newborn baby. He hires a nanny. She’s young, but well-qualified, with a simple life, a crazy name obsession, and a boyfriend she met at the grocery store. Over time, he discovers she knows things about him—things that happened before she was born—like a hidden scar on his head, his favorite pizza, and how he cheated on a high school Spanish test. She speaks familiar words and shares haunting memories that take him back to over two decades earlier when he lost his best friend in a tragic accident. “I’m afraid of what’s going to happen when you realize I’m not her.” Transcend is a sexy, mind-bending journey that uncovers possibilities, challenges beliefs, and begets the age-old question: is there life after death?
