I thought the book was well written. The character were interesting and didn't bore me as some seem to do. They appeared to be strong yet I did come away with a few questions: 1. Patrick realized she lied about all the lovers, why didn't he try harder to find out why? 2.Once he discovered that she lied about the other lovers, then he had to admit she could be telling the truth about someone trying to kill her, why did he continue to doubt her. 3.Why didn't he attempt to find out why she changed so much on their wedding day? I thought he loved her. At least he did admit that to himself at one point. Yet he must not have loved her that much to find out what was wrong with her. 4. I thought he was going to do some investigating to find out what was going on, yet we were never allowed to find out if he did find out anything. Perhaps that was so that we would think he was behind it. Well I kinda guessed right from the beginning who the culprit was behind all this. Maybe not all the players at the beginning but the rest were revealed later on and I wasn't too surprised. The book wrapped up so quickly some issues weren't resolved. I don't like to be left hanging. That is why I am only giving this book 4 stars.
Two great reads in one book....

The first reprint of his duo is Anne Stuart's Winter Edge. I reviewed this and got many emails moaning it was suddenly out of print. Well, here is your chance to catch a nifty Stuart gem no longer in print. Molly woke in the hospital to find she could not recall anything of her life, not the dead man who was found in her car, the 350 thousand dollars - nor the husband. This book was a little rushed because of being a series, and would have been much better as a big book, but it still is a very good read. Molly leaves the hospital to return to Winter's Edge, the only home she has ever know. Yet suddenly, she is a stranger there. She does not recall her husband, nor the various people in their lives, and she especially does not to know the woman everyone says she is. She does not like the clothes she wears, does not like the bedroom she supposedly decorated, and she cannot believe she behaved as everyone said she did. She knows Patrick, her husband hates her, but not why. And she does not know who is trying to kill her. Stuart delivers as she always does, just wishes this one had a little more room to deliver fully. The second tale by Debra Webb is a Harlequin Intrigue reprint Safe by His Side (Intrigue, 583) which is also out of print. Is one in a series of Intrigues centred around a private detective firm called the Colby Agency. In this one, Kate is determined to get her 'man' even if it meant tracking him down in the great Smokey Mountains of Tennessee. The man she is after is Raine a former government agent. He has been betrayed and set up by someone with in the agency, and until he can find out who he is running for his life. Kate tracks him down, but just as she is about to move in she is attacked by the people after him and looses her memory. She winds up at Raines hideout, no memory and must now depend upon the very man she was tracking to save them both.
