So lucky to have gotten an advanced eBook of this new release and I have to say you won't be disappointed. The beginning novel of her new book series since finishing Ten Tiny Breaths series. 

Burying Water follows Jesse and Alex. It's a complicated story, Jesse's story is of how him and Alex fell in love while she was married to an abusive Russian mob boss, and his story is based in the past. While Alex's or rather Water's point of view is in the present in the aftermath of being attacked and asaulted to within an inch of her life, as well as dealing with the fact that she has no memory, of the attack or anything about herself. 

With the help of Jesse's family, his mother (the doctor who took care of Water) and his father (the towns sheriff), cover up her past and her relationship with their son as their neighboor Ginny takes Water in. With a similar past as what they know of Water's, Ginny sees something in Water as she manages to move forward despite what happened to her. 
Ginny, glued to her house that is bared up to keep anyone out, begins to change for the better. Allowing more people onto her property, and helping Water through learning the truth of who she is. 
After falling in love with the Jesse she knows now, and learning that she had already been in love with him, and lost his baby in the attack by her husband. She manages to continue being the resiliant girl she is, even after Ginny passes - leaving everything to Water - she moves forward, with Jesse of course.

This is one of those books that you won't know the whole truth till the very end. And the change from past to present and POV's makes the story that much better as you see the similarities between Alex and Water as she slowly remembers some - but not all - of her past. 
If you loved the concept of Nicholas Sparks's, The Vow, than you will love this. It's such a powerful and entrancing book, you won't be able to put it down till you get to the very last page.
