This is the story of Amy.... Amy is a woman on the run until her circumstances land her in the path of the hot hunk of man that is Liam Stone!!
I loved this book and can't wait for the next in the series. The way the two meet is very fitting of the way their love and story develop. With the two "giving what the other gives". [a:Lisa Renee Jones|73977|Lisa Renee Jones|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1365143988p2/73977.jpg] shows how vulnerable and frail Amy is without giving away the whole story to Liam. She also shows how strong and independent Amy is because she goes out and takes an active role in figuring out her "real life" and her place in that life.
All in all a fantastic read!

Right off the bat Jones throws us into a mystery. After only reading the first chapter I found myself asking so many questions. Who exactly is Amy? Who is she running from? What happened to her family? Who is her handler?”
Amy’s life is a big far LIE! She is on the run and sent to the airport by her “handler” to start a new life she makes eye contact with Liam, a gorgeous, extremely sexy looking man. Someone she can’t take her eyes off. And in that instant there eyes meet her life changes. Amy is extremely troubled. She has some serious skeletons in her closet but I don’t think even she knows half of them. Liam is like fresh air. He wants things to be “raw and honest” between them and Amy fights it the entire time. She wants him but is scared for him. She doesn’t know who’s after her and if they find out what will they do?
Life on the run isn’t easy. She can’t grow attachments, she needs to lead a complicated free life and Liam isn’t helping. In such a short period of time they find an intense connection to each other. She trusts him and even when she doubts certain things he finds ways to keep her distraction with his domineering personality. But Amy starts questioning everything and everyone around her.
This story is HOT and though I’m one that loves math I look at the subject in a whole new light, definitely not in a bad way. I would want to escape reality too if I had a Liam. Amazingly written! In the end none of my questions were answered, in fact I have more than I started with but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to read more.
shickedOMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!
I am still shocked at the ending, seriously OMG! And i will stop there so as not to ruin it for anyone who think this is something you would like to read. I personally recommend it.
Book 2 Infinite Possiblities will be released in October.

1,5 stelle!
Questo libro si divide in due parti. Una riguarda il passato di lei e come mai stia scappando. La seconda è la storia d'amore tra la protagonista, Amy, e Liam.
La parte riguardante la fuga è quella che mi ha spinto a leggere il libro, peccato che del suo passato non si capisce praticamente niente. La scrittrice non ha detto niente del suo passato e poi arriva la chicca... Neanche Amy sa perché sta scappando, ma una persona le dice di fuggire e lei lo fa, così senza porsi molte domande. A questa parte non è stata data molto spazio, perché si è preferito dare spazio alla parte romantica.
La parte romantica non mi è piaciuta, per niente. Praticamente Amy e Liam si incontrano e dopo due giorni si comportano come una coppia che sta insieme da anni.
Liam non mi piace come personaggio, perché è ossessivo e possessivo, due caratteristiche che detesto nei personaggi maschili, sembra più uno stalker che il fidanzato.
Neanche Amy mi sta simpatica, perché è una ninfomane in preda all'ormone per tutto il libro. Ogni tanto cerca di tenere testa a Liam, ma dopo due secondi sta già facendo quello che lui le ha detto e poi è una mantenuta. Continua a dire a Liam che non vuole i suoi soldi (perché lui è milionario), ma alla fine si fa comprare tutto da lui.
La parte romantica è da dimenticare! Non ha né senso, né emozioni!
L'ultimo capitolo è l'unico che mi ha un po' intrigato, quando lei pensa che la persona da cui fugge sia proprio Liam... Ma ovviamente sarà lei che non ha capito una mazza, quindi non emozionatevi troppo!

*I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest impartial review*
We meet Amy where her life as she knows it is no longer, and not for the first time. For the second time in her life, despite only being in her early 20s, she is forced to leave life as she knows it behind for a new start with a new identity. She meets handsome billionaire Liam on the plane to Denver and there is an instant attraction, but can she really trust him, or anyone? And if she does trust him, can she reveal all her secrets, will it be safe for either of them?
I really like how Amy's secrets are revealed slowly over the course of the whole book. The seamlessly tie in with the current goings on and just raise more questions. Be warned, this book ends on a MASSIVE cliffhanger, I literally can't wait for the next instalment in this story and getting some answers to ALOT of questions.

I want to know how this story ends because the mystery is intriguing. So, I’m reading the whole series but I don’t particularly like the writing for a number of reasons.
1. This author apparently has never heard of show don’t tell. She just tells. Which fine but it feels clunky
2. This book isn’t a complete story. A story has a problem or goal of some kind and then either resolution or partial resolution of said problem or goal. There is a problem, the FMC is running from something she doesn't know what or why and has memory problems. The memory problems aren’t resolved enough for her to get clues, we don’t figure out who is after her, we don’t figure out who she can trust, we learn almost nothing. These books are thankfully short so I’m treating them more like a mini series on TV where all together it’s a single story. But to rate this as a stand alone novel it kind of sucks, there is nothing that gets resolved and minimal stuff gets revealed.
3. Given the limited plot movement there is waaaay too much sex. I don’t mind books with lots of sex as long as there is also PLOT
4. Why are the men all awkward stock image versions of an “alpha male” like kind of Dom vibes but not done well.
5. Just a minor plot hole. Isn’t Amy’s friend and work from the 1st time she was in NY going to report her missing?

gah!!!! well!! I did love this and Liam, well, Liam!! I was so frustrated with this book though. it didn't give me enough, and I was literally reading it like, 'Lisa!! give me more.' But I'm pretty certain she was aiming to keep me on edge and wanting wanting wanting just so that right at the end she could BAM! Give me what I really didn't want but feared throughout....
yes...
give me the next one! give give give!

give me the next one! give give give!
{my thoughts} - Amy Bensen is a young woman with secrets. She has a past that is hidden, a past she cannot share. She is taking place in some sort of witness protection/ relocation program. She is running, running from an unknown person that wants her dead. Her life is a mess, it’s been turned upside down and she hardly knows who she is anymore.
I enjoyed reading this book, it fast paced and attention grabbing from the first couple of pages. I didn’t stop reading it until I had finished it. I like how it seems to be about trusting in one’s own personal judgment, trying to discover one’s self, love, regret and more.
When I had finished this book I was in shock how it had ended. I was thinking no, no this can’t be the end. I want to know what happens. Honestly I do not think that book two is going to be released soon enough.
{reason for reading} - I received a copy of this book from netgalley in return for an honest review.
