A little while back I got a review request to read ‘When I Know Your Name’ by Gemma Lawrence. Since I love Romantic Suspense, this book definitely sparked my interest and I was super excited to start reading.
In ‘When I Know Your Name’ we meet Elena Dumont. Elena has had a feeling she is being watched for a while now. But no one seems to believe her. Than one day she is taken from her home and soon she realizes she is kidnapped. And they want her father to pay big. But one day, becomes one week and soon Elena is gone for weeks. But one of her captors is different, and soon Elena makes a choose that changes everything.
This book was definitely not what I imagined. From the start this story kept me hooked. Right away we are in the middle of things and it definitely made it hard for me to put this read away.
The romance in this book was fun and different, really different. But there just was something about Elena and Ethan that kept me rooting for them until the end. And the author definitely kept me guessing how this romance was going to go. The chemistry between Elena and Ethan wasn’t as great as I’d hoped. Mostly because I just felt like there was still a lot of mystery revolving Ethan, which made it hard for me to really ‘trust’ him. But.. that being said.. This book definitely didn’t go the way I expected at all. And I really enjoyed that.
Mostly this book was really impressive and very original. The main character Elena wasn’t really my favorite. I felt really bad for her, but I just couldn’t really connect with her. And especially the way she was with her boyfriend, frustrated me a lot. But this story was thrilling enough to keep me hooked, and to not let me bother it as much as it would normally.
‘When I Know Your Name’ was a very thrilling and exciting read. The romance was enjoyable enough, but the fact that so much was going on that I didn’t expect made this book a really good one. I look forward to reading more books by Gemma Lawrence.
