Missing any memories?
Holly Sinclair is happily married to the love of her life, Gabriel. Young and in love, Holly hopes to have their first child soon. Of course, Gabriel wants to wait till Holly’s health is restored, much to Holly’s dismay. She feels perfectly fine. So what if she just woke up from an eight-month coma? So what if some of her memories are missing? She remembers Gabe and that’s all that matters, right?
That is, until HE enters her life again . . . she forgot about HIM.
It’s been a great Tour, exploring the origins and themes of I Have People by Taylor Dean. In case you missed part of the tour… here it is, one more time: links to all the great guest posts and reviews with quotes…
9 – Snuggling on the Sofa – Amnesia
I vividly remember my favorite high school English teacher sadly telling us that his wife had been in a bicycle accident.
I am a ‘happily ever after’ writer, therefore the happy cover matches the happy ending! I promise!
I love to share what song goes with which scene in my books.
My heroine’s name, Holly Noel, came from a friend who had a Christmas baby and named her Holly Noel. LOVE
I was excited to get this guest post, The Worth of a Soul. This is one of my favorite conversations from the book, too.
14 – TheReaddicts – Review; Two Kinds of Love
I Have People was not an easy light read I was expecting but it was a good read none the less.
The hero of I Have People is a true gentleman and in many ways the perfect man. He’s kind, soft-spoken, polite to a fault, and compassionate.
I love Taylor Dean’s books. They always feel so real…One minute you’re feeling giddy with happiness and the next you’re filled with dread!
I also really liked Holly’s character. She was sweet and still strong.
I have to say it’s a bit eye-opening that Holly felt that if she wasn’t actually hit by her abuser, then she wasn’t being abused. I can imagine that this may be thought by other people in similar situations.
19 – GettingYour Read On – Review; Soooo Cliche!
I. Love. I Have People. This book kept me engaged the whole way.
The main character, Holly, discovers that she does have ‘people’ in her life who are willing to help her out of a bad situation—she just has to let them.
It was at this moment that I realized, I Have People, and I always will!
This is an emotional story of domestic abuse and recovery, wonderfully written with realistic characters, and it will stay with you long after you finish. How I wish women (and men) that are bring abused would seek help and realize they have “people” too.
Dean creates a story that is not only engaging, gritty and real
25 – icultgen – Friendship
Angela was fun to write. She is funny, blunt, loyal, and loves her ‘girl time.’

Hi Sherry! Thanks for posting the Grand Finale of I Have People! I guess you signed up late??? ( I think that’s what my blog tour host said) and never got your blog added to the tour schedule! I’m so sorry! I added you to my Grand Finale post! After your wonderful review, I didn’t want you to be left out! THANK YOU!
Yeah. I noticed that, but I did sign up very late. I was going on vacation and didn’t know if I would be able to post it or not. I was able to blog a bit, but on a golf vacation with 5 guys, it can be a bit trying. LOL Plus, here on the Redneck Riviera at Florabama, there is a Mullet Toss going on. I hope your tour is a huge success and you enjoy all the well-deserved attention.
