See Me

by Nicholas Sparks

Overview

"Colin Hancock is giving his second chance his best shot. At 28, he's focused only on walking a straight line— getting his teaching degree, working out at the gym religiously, and avoiding all the places and people that proved so destructive in his earlier life. The last thing he's looking for is a serious relationship. But when Maria Sanchez crosses paths with him on a rainswept night in North Carolina, his plans are upended in a way that will rattle the foundations of his carefully structured life. As for Maria, the hardworking lawyer and daughter of Mexican immigrants, Colin will challenge every notion she's ever had about herself and her future, making her question what truly makes her happy. Before the couple has a chance to envision what a life together might look like, however, menacing reminders of events in Maria's past begin to surface. And as the threat of violence begins to shadow her every step, she and Colin will be tested in increasingly terrifying ways. Will demons from their past destroy the tentative bonds they have forged, or will their love protect them, even in the darkest hour?"—

Editorial Reviews

04/15/2015
Colin Hancock is intent on remaking his life, which means getting a teaching degree, working out, and avoiding people and places from his past. He also thought it meant avoiding relationships, but Maria Sanchez, lawyer and the daughter of Mexican immigrants, changes all that. Alas, something dangerous in her past threatens their happiness.

Library Journal

"A roller-coaster ride of emotions, switching from the soft tone of a love story to the adrenaline rush of a thriller."—Associated Press

"A journey filled with love, anger, family drama, and revenge."—Harlequin Junkie

From the Publisher

Trying to escape his dark past, Colin Hancock has a life-altering encounter with responsible, hardworking Maria Sanchez. Romance ensues as Maria’s own past threatens the future of their relationship. Narrator Christopher Ryan Grant’s masculine voice complements the story, adding a sense of strength and making this a love story everyone can appreciate. He perfectly channels the tension between the couple using tones of excitability to guide listeners through each stage of their relationship. His ability to distinguish between the voices of Colin and Maria makes it easier to understand each character. D.Z. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine
