Emma Wright has finally escaped the dangerous man who's controlled her every move for the past six years. Taking her 5-year-old son, she has fled across the country seeking freedom, safety, and a fresh start. But Max's father isn't giving them up so easily.

Preston Holman understands the lengths a parent will go for his child. He's given up everything to pursue the man he believes killed his son.

When Preston meets Emma, he wants nothing to do with her or the boy who reminds him so much of his own child. Yet he can't abandon them, and as he's drawn into the danger that surrounds them, Preston begins to wonder if he's finally found something to live for beyond revenge.

"Novak knows how to relate a suspenseful tale." (Publishers Weekly)
"Strongly defined characters, sizzling sexual tension, and a tautly constructed plot steeped in danger blend brilliantly together in Novak's exceptionally intense, powerfully emotional novel of romantic suspense." (Booklist)

I have one complaint about this book and that is the cheesy music in between chapters. Please stop putting music in the book it is better without it!

loved the story. I know it's fiction, but because I live in Utah, having the town's pronounced incorrect made it annoying to hear.

Every Waking Moment had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to the end! At times my heart would pound & held my breath, just hoping "Emma, Max, & Preston" would get away. I also liked that this book was not filled with flashbacks. Although I could do without the music between chapter.

Great Book. Must Read

Every Waking Moment was a great read by Brenda Novak. Emma has been controlled by a very dangerous man for the last six years and has finally escaped with her son. She took her son and went across the country looking for freedom and a new start. Unfortunately her ex and Max’s father won’t give up and will do anything to get both back. Emma meets Preston while on the run but Preston wants nothing to do with her young son because he reminds him of his deceased son. But he feels compelled to help both of them, even when it gets dangerous. But Preston won’t let them deter him from pursuing the man that he believes killed his son. I loved reading this book and can’t wait to read more by Brenda Novak.

This book kept me engaged with its close calls and fairly well-developed characters. The son's diabetes was integral to the story and I learned a lot about the disease. The themes of spousal abuse and obsession with revenge were credible. The love scenes were steamy but not overly explicit. The reader's voice sounds a little child-like at first, but I quickly got used to it. The only jarring note was the way any non-essential female character was made to sound like a little girl from deep Texas!

Suspenseful

The story was pretty good. I felt a little bit cheated with the wrap up and a few rabbit holes that I thought would be more important later in the story but I might have been putting too much of a spin on the story. The author probably just wanted use these for conduits of information, so that was on me.

I like that the sex wasn’t spelled out in 10 pages of acrobatic and contortionist detail. Very respectively done.

The biggest issue I had with the book was the constant mispronouncing of Ely, Nevada. The name was pronounced “Elie” instead of the correct “Elee”. The book movie in my head came to a screeching halt every time that happened. However, the descriptions of the Nevada area as well at the Utah areas were pretty accurate which made the book enjoyable so I could picture it happening. On the positive side, Nevada was pronounced correctly which was a pleasant surprise.

All in all, I really enjoyed the book and it’s narration. I would recommend it to others.

Good story has some mispronunciations

The suspense was palpable! I could literally feel my heart pounding. Unputdownable! Now I'm going to look for another Brenda Novak book for my next listen.

Very suspenseful! My heart was racing!
