UNTOUCHED - Lauren Hawkeye


untouched


New York Times and USA Today bestselling romance author Lauren Hawkeye serves up a captivating story of loss, self-discovery, and deep-seated desire.


Some secrets are best left locked away in the past….

Alexa Kendrick has no recollection of the car accident that left her scarred and sent her life careening wildly off course. When the half-sister she thought she’d never meet shows up at her door with an invitation to a new life, Alexa finds herself in Florence, Arizona, a town notorious for being populated with more prison inmates than actual citizens…a town that has done its best to hide its own dark secret.

After Ellie is called out of town, she leaves her sister with the keys to her flower shop and Alexa finds herself swapping lives with her sibling: running Ellie’s business, living in the house left to them both by their absentee father…and forging a smoldering relationship with sexy-as-sin penitentiary officer, Nate Fury—a man with his own demons.

But arranging flowers by day and tangling with the only man who has ever seen her real self by night isn’t enough to silence the mysterious panic that fuels Alexa’s dark dreams. When Nate brings home a book written by an inmate, one describing an unspeakable crime, the shackles binding Alexa’s own lost memories begin to shatter. And as the devastating truth comes to light, she realizes that Nate holds the key to unlocking her past, as well as her heart.

I've been thinking about a way to write this review without giving away any spoilers. Truth is, there is so much twists and turns throughout this book that it isn't exactly easy.

Alexa is an artist with some success. After being in an accident Alexa is left with some memory loss and an inability to paint. Working a waitressing job to keep her busy and infuriate her mother Alexa spends her days wondering who she was. 

Deciding to spend a few days with her sister in Florence, Airizona, the infamous prison town with 9 prisons. When she gets there Ellie, her sister, has to leave town for an emergency leaving Alexa to watch her flower shop and stay in the apartment upstairs left to them by their late grandmother. 

Ons her first day in Florence she goes to a diner and see a man sitting there and without thinking about it she draws his profile on a serviette. Nate, beautiful Nate.  He was exactly what she needed. But Nate also had his own demons to work through. 

After some exploring in the apartment Alexa found some evidence about her sister and enlist Nate's help. Slowly the secrets are revealed and Alexa is better off not knowing some things. 

Job well done Ms Hawkeye, I didn't see any of it coming.

Lauren Hawkeye/ Lauren Jameson never imagined that she’d wind up telling stories for a living… though when she looks back, it’s easy to see that she’s the only one who is surprised. Always “the kid who read all the time”, Lauren made up stories about her favorite characters once she’d finished a book… and once spent an entire year narrating her own life internally. No, really. But where she was just plain odd before publication, now she can at least claim to have an artistic temperament.

Lauren lives in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada with her husband, toddler, pit bull and idiot cat, though they do not live in an igloo, nor do they drive a dogsled. In her nonexistent spare time Lauren can be found knitting (her husband claims that her snobby yarn collection is exorbitant), reading anything she can get her hands on, or sweating her way through spin class. She loves to hear from her readers!
