OK book but....I always knew what was going to happen next so not much suspense here at all. Took me a long time to read it because I lost interest in it but I seldom leave a book unread so I kept going until I was done.

This was a great mystery focusing on stolen identity. Pretty good romance too, although took a back seat to the romance. It leaves you hanging at the end - but in a good way.

I just could not get into this book for some reason. I kept putting it down. The heroine and hero and the actual storyline seems disjointed to me. I like all the other Barbara Freethy books, but this one just struck me as 'off'.
