Hollywood’s new favourite starlet is already feeling overwhelmed by the insecurity of her past, a family that controls her every move, and the stresses that come with her job when a brutal attack from a madman takes that stress to a whole new level. But what neither Harper nor her attacker saw coming was the 6’4”, heavily muscled ex-Marine, Nick Martell, throwing himself in harm’s way to save her. After she visits him in the hospital to offer her thanks, she can’t help but be intrigued by the man she finds beneath the bad boy exterior.
Plagued by guilt over his failure to protect the one person that mattered the most, all Nick wants is to find some peace. The tattooed former Marine is scarred, inside and out, but saving Harper Bayliss might be his first step toward redemption. What’s more, her answer to his heartfelt question is about to send them both down a path of scorching passion…and maybe even love.
With the pressures of Harper’s fame and Nick’s guilt working against them, will their feelings be enough to overcome all the obstacles, including the stalker that’s still out there? If he gets his way he’ll show them that, even if they choose each other, you seldom get to choose the last thing you see.
This is the book I think you should read before Coming Back. I think if this book ended with Nick getting a phone call about Christie, it would have been perfect for the beginning of a brilliant series. I didn't feel the suspense I would have normally had I not read coming Back first.
Harper is adopted, adopted into a rich family and at a young age decided she wanted to be an actress. She becomes famous at a young age, but it isn't until she finishes a movie series that her career really takes off.
Her mother is a selfish, self centered woman, but from what Harper tells us she wasn't always that way. Her mother makes Harper feel unloved, and that she should be grateful to them for bringing her in and adopting her. I think it's unfair, I really do.
When they're out she's attacked by one of her crazy fans with acid, Nick jumps in front, not knowing what it was in the cup. From there on out the two have this connection and begin to fall for each other easily.
Harper helps Nick with dark memories of his past, and he also helps Harper fight hers.
I was also glad when Harpers mom spouted of crap about Harper and her feelings for Nick not being real, that Nick didn't believe them. That is drama this book DIDN'T need.
The ending was brilliant, and I have to say, even though the book dragged in places, that the ending had me gripped.
Defo a book I will be recommending for the future.
