she can run, but not hide

Jules Bennett writes so well, that I actually became annoyed at her heroine in the story! I don’t know whether it was intentional, but reading this story at first you feel compassionate about her heroine. As the story unfolds however, I got annoyed, wanted to shout : “wake up, grow up and don’t be so selfish“ to her. I love Jules Bennett’s writing style, powerful imaginary and intimate storylines, always a pleasure to read. Although I admire the good writing now I was a bit disappointed in how the story progressed. I have mixed feelings about this book and I’ve been mulling over and over about how to write this review.

About the book: Cara knew only one way to cope with the devastating news she had heard and what she truly believed that could end her marriage to Tucker. Maybe marrying after the whirlwind affair had been a mistake, but she intended to set her husband free by escaping to Barefoot Bay.

Tucker, a former soldier, had no clue why his wife had run away to Barefoot Bay, but he is not letting her go away that easy. He has never given up on anything and he certainly doesn’t want to give up his wife, the only person who completes him. He is very determined to save their marriage. Cara is about to discover that her husband is a stronger man than she ever knew, because he doesn’t want her to carry this burden all alone.
