Publisher's summary

Sometimes you have to risk it all.

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.

Critic reviews

"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)

riveting story of love

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. wonderful story of love lost and refound. family rebuilt! amazing performance by narrater.

Great book!

This was my introduction book to Audible and it got me hooked. I listen in my car while commuting and found it hard to not bring it in and listen at home on the weekends. Great story!

Absolutely loved this book

Every Waking Moment by Brenda Novak was a great book, it has suspense, danger and plenty of steam. The characters are well written and you couldn’t help but fall for them. Emma has fled with her five years old son from his dangerous father, will they be able to stay ahead of him. Preston is a man on a mission and has no time for the beautiful woman and her child, but will he be able to turn his back on them. This is where the danger starts and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Lenore Zann did a fantastic job narrating she made the characters really come alive and she was able to make you feel what the characters were going through. I absolutely loved this audiobook and I highly recommended it.

good read

This is a good read, despite the fact that you sometimes want to skake the heroine for not being smarter.

Suspense and Intrigue

Well written. Interesting, suspenseful but slightly predictible. Narration was a little distracting when female narrator attempted to sound like Spanish-speaking characters, especially the male characters.

Good story... Narrator not so much

I really enjoyed this book but it was really hard to listen to as the narrator kept pronouncing the name of Ely, NV wrong It is pronounced E-LEE not ElI.

Both the narrator and the Director should look up the proper enunciation of a town that is used so often in a story. Wikipedia would have given the correct pronunciation if someone had checked.. It has actually made me be sure to remember the narrator so as not to listen to a book narrated by her.

unexpectedly good

I randomly came across this book and got it. Honestly i was expecting it to be extremely cheesy and lame. But the story was gripping from the beginning. i love the characters and the story flow was perfect. The only thing I hated was the music in between EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER. It was distracting and annoying. I really wish it wasn't like that. But otherwise...it was a great read.

Great listen!

This book was great to listen to and it kept me very interested. The characters were believable and once you got use to the narrators voice it was very good. She did great impressions of men, a child and her Spanish was very good. The story itself held your interest and intrigue although I did grimace at the abuse in the story although that was part of the story and I don't see how it could have been cut out. All in all the book deserves 4 1/2 stars!!

Predictable but good

The heroine is resourceful but needs a man to help her out. The hero is afraid of committment but ends up committing. The ex is really nasty. The good guys win. Entertaining and well done, but quite predictable.

I absolutely loved this *Spoiler*

This book had the perfect amount of romance and suspense to keep the story interesting. I do feel like rhere should be a trigger warning here in the reviews for a part in the book for those that are bothered by abuse. But thankfully, it is not a huge part of the book.







I do think it is a little unhealthy that the main character is going straight from an abusive relationship right onto a different relationship. Especially how at the end, the man told the child who has just lost his father "I'll be your daddy". That bothered me a lot. But aside from that, I thought it was so sweet and I'm glad that the main character was able to get away from the horrible relationship and be happy again.
