BLURB:
The top-selling, beloved indie author of Ten Tiny Breaths returns with a new romance about a young woman who loses her memory—and the man who knows that the only way to protect her is to stay away.
Left for dead in the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to “Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden marking on her body—the only clue to her past. Taken in by old Ginny Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let him step foot on her property? And why does Water feel she recognizes him?
Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Welles doesn’t know how long it will be before Water gets her memory back. For her sake, Jesse hopes the answer is never. He knows that she’ll stay so much safer—and happier—that way. And that’s why, as hard as it is, he needs to keep his distance. Because getting too close could flood her with realities better left buried.
The trouble is, water always seems to find its way to the surface

REVIEW :
first let me tell you this is the second version of my review of Burying Water. you see, I got the ARC copy month ago read it and wrote a review and saved it on my laptop. I didn't upload/publish it yet because Kathleen will be releasing her book In Her Wake and it would very much help her promote the book by concentrating all news about In Her Wake. So I waited .... until my laptop shutdown and wont open. end of story I lost all files... yeah!
anyway, here is my review
first im very honored to be part of Burying Water Street Team. I didn't know what to expect reading this book, after reading Ten Tiny Breaths im a KA Tucker fanatic. I would end up messaging her every single time I read her books from the series. she created beautiful characters and of course dreamy men that a girl would dream of being with. so with this new book, its like getting to know Kathleen over again. its like she is introducing us to a new her. and oh WOW this book is beautifully told and the story made me feel love, fear, passion, hate, admiration, and hope.
the book is told from two POV of our main characters. JaneDoe/Water wakes up in a hospital with no recollection of what happened to her , worst she doesn't even know who she is I mean she doesn't even know her name. she was informed by her Doctor of all her injuries and whoever did that to her does not intend for her to live. and we meet Jesse, he relates the story "then" and he takes us to the beginning when he met a girl named Alex who had a flat tire in the middle of a highway while the rain pours.
reading a book with alternating POV with the past and present story is tricky and somehow confusing to readers but let me assure you that this book wont be confusing AT ALL!!! I mean each chapter is brilliantly written with Jane's ending is Jesse' beginning. and Jesse's ending is Jane's beginning.
forbidden love affairs are the most exciting to read with all the anticipation of being caught and the sexiness and desire of the characters are being highlighted. same goes for this book but Kathleen created a villain that made me feel fear. and that page by page im so nervous of whats gonna happen.
its a different KA Tucker but she is so good that no part of this book I didn't like. its the kind of book you make sure you don't have any interruptions when you started it and it will consume you that you wouldn't put it down and finish it. seriously I prayed that no harm will come to Jane and Jesse.
5 HUGE STARS for BURYING WATER
