4 Smooches!
Synopsis
Former Navy SEAL Travis Blake is a rising star in the security business. In two short years, Blake Security Inc. has become highly sought after by the who’s who in Washington DC.
But unbeknownst to many, Travis is haunted by the mysterious death of his wife three years before. He carries with him the guilt of not being there to protect the one person who meant everything to him. He has buried his wife, but his heart refuses to accept that the body six feet under is hers. His obsessive search for her leads him deep into the trenches of covert ops—and everything is not what it seems.
Caitlin Kincaid has been on the run for a while. The sum of her memories began three years ago when she awakened with a broken arm and leg and a severe concussion. Hunted down by a secret group within the U.S. government, her companion persuades her to stay off the grid because of the standing kill order on their heads. One night, while fleeing assassins, she is left on the side of the road with a cryptic message: “It’s time for you to stop running. I’m not the one you love.”
When Travis receives news that the woman who has turned up at the American Embassy in Berlin could be his wife, he wastes no time getting to her. He is unprepared for the devastation that shreds him when Caitlin looks at him with no recognition in her eyes. Amnesia is a challenging enough obstacle for winning the love of his life back. But with lies defining the past three years of her life, Caitlin becomes wary of anyone’s help.
Love was never the problem. A marriage cannot survive without trust. As sinister forces threaten the bond they are trying to rebuild, trust must come quickly or one of them will die.
* Strong sexual content and language. Disturbing situations.
Review
When I began to read ‘It’s always been you’ I had the preconceived notion that it would be similar to ‘The Vow’. You know that one where the woman wakes up to Channing Tatum as her husband. Although there is the slight amnesia similarity, this book is action packed and keeps you on your toes. It was a book that not only has romance and steamy sex scenes but takes you into a world of secret agents. Travis Blake is a man that will not give up on Caitlin Kincaid, or to him Sarah Blake. His family, friends and co-workers keep telling him to move on, but to Travis, Sarah is not dead. When the opportunity to begin a security service to the elite, the ex Navy SEAL, delves into his work and his search for Sarah.
Caitlin has been on the run for 3 years and has amnesia. On the run with Jase, an old friend, Caitlin can only trust what Jase has told her of her past. But when a turn of events leaves Caitlin abandoned, she is put back on the radar for Travis. Will Caitlin be able to fall back in love with Travis, or will the past and unknown drive a wedge between them?
This book is filled with action, CIA agents, Navy SEALs, and Russian mobsters. I felt the emotions of these characters. The author did a good job with having the reader connect with the characters. I was able to feel for Travis and his determination to get his wife back. And also the emotions of uncertainty Caitlin felt when she couldn’t recall her past. A must add to your TBR list! 4 smooches for It’s Always Been You by Victoria Paige!!
