Synopsis

Her perfect husband would love Jesus above all and would love her because of her love for Jesus. He would be faithful and gentle and have a heart for others. So how did Caitlyn Summer end up marrying the bad boy who had gotten her best friend pregnant in high school and pushed her to have an abortion? Unable to remember the past three years or understand why she would’ve moved so far from home, Caitlyn can’t believe she willingly married such an overprotective, bossy, and jealous man. In this emotionally-charged mystery romance, ANYONE BUT HIM, Caitlyn struggles to solve the mysteries of her amnesia and her marriage. Suspicious circumstances surrounding her husband tempt her to leave and start life over, but they also challenge her Christian faith and convictions. The arrival of her first love, her husband's younger brother, intent on helping her regain her memory, offers a glimmer of hope. Together they uncover secrets involving her coworkers and the local abortion clinic, but nothing to explain why she married this man. Who changed – him or her?

Review

Anyone But Him had me hooked from the start! How did good girl Caitlyn Summers wake up next to bad boy ____?

Theresa Linden unravels the mystery layer by layer as Caitlyn questions whom to trust, who has changed, and how an unfinished investigation may be the key to it all. Caitlyn s quest for truth won t be complete until everyone s motives are brought to the light, including her own. Told through Caitlyn s eyes, Anyone But Him will keep you doubting, guessing - and maybe even falling in love - alongside her. --~Carolyn Astfalk, author of contemporary inspirational romances, including Stay With Me and Ornamental Graces

Theresa Linden has quickly become one of my favorite authors. She is certainly one of the best Catholic YA authors out there today. Through each of her novels, her writing keeps getting better and better. The series of books that she has written about the West Brothers is simply spell-binding. These novels differ from most series in that each of the books is written from the perspective of different characters. Each book is very unique and great on their own but put the entire collection together and it becomes extraordinary.

Her newest book in this saga of the West family, Anyone But Him, is so fantastic that I know it will be one I will read numerous times. I don t often re-read books but once in a while, one touches me, and I become so connected with the characters that I must revisit them from time to time. Anyone But Him is that kind of book.

The author has a lot of elements going on in this story - mystery, romance, amnesia, and a pro-life message. How she intertwines and weaves all these pieces together is perfection. There were so many scenes that I read numerous times because they were so captivating.

In this book we are reunited with some of the characters from the West series, but they are now a few years older. Amnesia can sometime be used as convenient tool, but Linden uses her character s memory loss to slowly reveal the past to us. In this story, the amnesia is a powerful and moving way to bring the love story and the mystery to life. Bravo Theresa Linden for creating another incredible story. --~Leslea Wahl, author of award-winning The Perfect Blindside and An Unexpected Role
