I read this book years ago when it first came out, but had forgotten just how good it was. Wow, it has really stood the test of time. It was just as jaw clenching today as it was then. A must read for yet to be Sandra Brown fans, and a great re-visit for established fans.
I found the first half of this book to be more compelling than the second half. The story is based on the interesting premise of a switched identity.
Every one of SB's books are just absolutely great. The guys give me tingles. Wish they were real.

And as she lay helpless in the hospital, she would make a shattering discover: Someone close to Tate planned to assassinate him. Now, to save Tate’s life, Avery must live another woman’s life—and risk her own…
I got this book second-hand, so it is loved, but in good enough condition to pass muster.
