Synopsis
Left for dead in
the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she
awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to
“Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden
marking on her body—the only clue to her past. Taken in by old Ginny
Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water
slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the
fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door
neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let
him step foot on her property? And why does Water feel she recognizes him?
Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Welles doesn’t know how long it will be before Water gets her memory back. For her sake, Jesse hopes the answer is never. He knows that she’ll stay so much safer—and happier—that way. And that’s why, as hard as it is, he needs to keep his distance. Because getting too close could flood her with realities better left buried.
The trouble is, water always seems to find its way to the surface.

Review
5 out of 5 stars
What an absolutely unique story,
written with mystery only revealing small pieces to the puzzle a little bit at
a time to keep readers under the spell of the journey. This was one of those books I just didn’t
want to end. Jesse is happy being
single, he wasn’t looking for love and he certainly wasn’t looking for
complicated the night he stopped to help a mysterious woman on the side of the
road. A woman who he cannot get off his
mind. He wants to be content working on
cars, a job he loves, and he is, that is until the same mysterious woman,
Alexandria Petrov, shows up at his work.
Unfortunately though Alexandria happens to be married to a very powerful
and very dangerous man so Jesse vows to keep his distance, however though, when
he is given a proposition he cannot refuse Jesse and Alexandria find themselves
spending more and more time together.
The more he gets to know the once mysterious Alexandria the harder it
becomes for him to keep his feelings at a distance and the harder he falls in
love with her. It’s only a matter of
time before Jesse’s life will go from simple to extremely complicated, and let
me tell you, I was a nervous wreck, worried for both of their safety!
Can you imagine waking up without
any recollection as to who you are, where you came from or even what you
like/dislike? Alexandria finds herself
in this very predicament. It’s
heartbreakingly sad, yet “Water” the name she has given herself is incredibly strong,
she grabs a hold of the opportunity to rebuild her life and she is determined
to make the best of a terrible situation.
Talk about a leading lady!
The journey to end is unlike
anything you have probably ever read before.
I loved the ingenuity of this book title. It’s perfect, it holds so much meaning. Burying Water is a book with two imperfect
characters who you cannot help but find yourself attached to, rooting for the
two of them to find themselves and grab ahold of their HEA. It’s a painful yet beautiful story and one
you really shouldn’t pass up the opportunity to read.
