REcovered was my first book my CJ Hartland and going into the book I wasn't sure what to expect, (the blurb left you curious about what you were actually getting involved in) it turns out to be a much more layered story than I was expecting!  REcovered tells the story of Lilliana and how she is moving on with her life after a traumatic experience in her past and what happens when her past comes back into her life.I really enjoyed getting to know Lilli and Max, I enjoyed their chemistry, banter and interactions (and the heat!).  CJ Hartland created a wonderful community on Balboa Island and really made the reader get immersed in the setting.  This story had a lot of layers to it and at times it was hard to keep track of all the pieces.  While this story starts out in one direction it does take a rather abrupt turn in the last few chapters that left me scratching my head.  Up until the end the pacing was just right and then everything ended up exploding at once and adding new twists that you are not expecting.  Finishing REcovered I am left with a LOT of questions and wondering if it all will all be ironed out in the next installment of this series (yep, there is a book 2).CJ Hartland created an interesting story that is multi-layered with mystery, heat and romance.  I loved watching the romance take place in the crazy that surrounded Max and Lilli and I will be curious how this all will come together in REkindled.
