Publisher's summary

See Me: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!*

A powerful love story fueled with taut suspense, about an instant connection between two people who are both trying to escape the past, from number one New York Times best-selling author Nicholas Sparks.

See me just as I see you....

Colin Hancock is giving his second chance his best shot. With a history of violence and bad decisions behind him and the threat of prison dogging his every step, he's determined to walk a straight line. To Colin, that means applying himself single-mindedly toward his teaching degree and avoiding everything that proved destructive in his earlier life. Reminding himself daily of his hard-earned lessons, the last thing he is looking for is a serious relationship.

Maria Sanchez, the hardworking daughter of Mexican immigrants, is the picture of conventional success. With a degree from Duke Law School and a job at a prestigious firm in Wilmington, she is a dark-haired beauty with a seemingly flawless professional track record. And yet Maria has a traumatic history of her own, one that compelled her to return to her hometown and left her questioning so much of what she once believed.

A chance encounter on a rain-swept road will alter the course of both Colin and Maria's lives, challenging deeply held assumptions about each other and ultimately, themselves. As love unexpectedly takes hold between them, they dare to envision what a future together could possibly look like...until menacing reminders of events in Maria's past begin to surface.

"A roller-coaster ride of emotions, switching from the soft tone of a love story to the adrenaline rush of a thriller." (Associated Press)

"A journey filled with love, anger, family drama, and revenge." (Harlequin Junkie)

Couldn't stop listening😍

This was my first audiobook with background sounds which was an incredible experience. It really adds to the story. The story itself was so addictive and romantic. I honestly felt butterflies in my stomach with his very detail descriptions of emotions. For the suspense parts, I kept looking at my surroundings feeling the anxiety. Nicholas Sparks remains my favorite author and he cant seen to dissapoint me. This book is highly recommended!

GREAT WHO DONE IT BOOK!!

Loved the suspense and action! I am so glad it didn't have a sad ending for the heroes! You didn't disappoint!

Not what I expected but pleasantly surprised

I will admit that the background music was sometimes annoying and I felt that it sometimes didn't match the scene but the reading was good and the story of course enthralling. It had a bit more action than I expected and I wish it would have had a more romantic ending but overall a great book. Couldn't stop listening!

I really liked this book. Characters were likeable, authentic and real. I like the mix of nationality and culture. The suspense, though predictable was a good mix with the romance.

Background

I found the music in the background to be annoying and disturbing at different times

Suspenseful

What seemed a slow start was actually setting the stage for the rest of the suspense in the story.

Awful background noise

I hate the constant background noise/music. It’s completely distracting. It should be an option to turn it off

Superb Narration, Debatable Plot

Loved the narrator, he did a wonderful job. The story though seemed strong at first but unfortunately not as much in the end. It felt a bit forced? Maybe clichéd? Not sure how to describe it but it wasn’t the bad type.

Nevertheless, I don’t regret listening to this book, it wasn’t a waste. I’d recommend it as long as you don’t have high expectations. Not too high at least.

Absolutely AMAZING!!

This story is one of the best I’ve heard in a long time! All my emotions were rattled by it. I couldn’t stop listening, in my car, at home and any chance I got! It drew me in more and more as it went on! I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone! #1 Grade A all the way!
