I received this book from Quirky Blind Date with a Book

This was my first read by this author and I've never heard of her before. I love having a book blind-date to introduce me to new-to-me authors.

 Aurora's story is interesting and entertaining, imagine waking up after 10 years in a coma. The world has moved on, friends living their lives but for family their life stopped and remained at your hospital bed. The main part of this story takes place a further five years after waking, relearning all motor skills and finally wanting to know how and why. Was she poisoned on purpose or by accident? It took me a few chapters to get into it but once I was hooked I couldn't put it down. Great plot, interesting and mostly likeable characters. I was thoroughly entertained.

Waking up each day is a gift….

On her 21st birthday, someone slipped a potent drug combination into socialite Aurora Brightwell’s champagne putting her in a coma for the next ten years. It’s been a long road back, and it’s time to reclaim the life she lost and find out exactly what happened on that fateful night.

Financier Kincade Enright has his own reason for helping Aurora discover who poisoned her, but for the time being he’s keeping that - and his true identity - to himself. What he can’t keep hidden though, are his growing feelings for the one-time paparazzi darling and party-girl.

When this prince of finance joins forces with the former sleeping beauty, nothing can stop them from finding the answers they seek…or prevent the powerful emotions developing between them as they search for the truth.
