Nicholas Sparks is king of the romance reads. His stories are easy to follow with straightforward writing.
This particular story subject has been written about quite a few times in recent history, but Sparks makes his characters likable enough that even though the tale is familiar, you still want to know what happens with these people.
Katie suddenly shows up in the small town of Southport, taking a job at the local diner. She's quiet, keeps to herself, and looks scared most of the time. No one knows anything about her or her past.
Alex, a local shopkeeper and widow with two small children, finds himself attracted to this mysterious yet gentle woman. He has been happy raising his children since his wife died a few years before but now feels ready to move on.
It soon becomes apparent that Katie is hiding from something........... or someone.
Will she be able to overcome her fears and feel safe once again, with or without Alex's help?
Wait for the ending - that'll wake you up!
