Meryl Sawyer Is A Keeper!

I borrowed this book from a friend who went on and on about how good the book was. I'm pretty picky about the authors I read, and usually stick with the same ones. I must say that Meryl Sawyer has just joined my list of favorites. Trust No One focuses on two twins separated at birth, both have no clue of the other. One of the twins, Brody, is a Navy Seal. The other, Elliott, runs the fathers winery business. Both are brought together when their father dies, which looks as if it was no accident, but murder. Brody and Elliott connect as they try to find who is making trouble for the family. In the meantime they have problems of their own when both realize they are in love with the same women, Tori, who Elliott is engaged to marry. Trust No One is full of suspense and plenty of surprises, and will keep you intrigued till the very last page!

A Real Winner

Okay, twins separated at birth. I'd read this before but I trusted that Meryl Sawyer who did such a wonderful twist on anmesia in UNFORGETTABLE would deliver another unusual book and she did. This is Brody from THUNDER ISLAND'S story. He's a Navy SEAL and everything about him--except his looks--is different than his brother, Elliott. The twists and riveting characters and the setting in California's wine country were great. I did not want this book to end. Again, as Meryl always does, there was a great animal. Piny, Tori's labrador retriever is a very special dog. If you want romance and suspense, Meryl is the best. Now I'm waiting for Elliott's story.

Meryl Sawyer Does It Again

The letter says that he, Gian,is in danger and begs his son to come home and "trust no one". Also included in the letter is picture of a man who looks exactly like Brody except for the scar over the eyebrow and is supposed to be Brody's twin brother, Elliott. Brody is stunned by the letter as before his mother died, she told him that his father had died in an automobile accident and never mentioned any living relativesBrody takes off for the Napa Valley where Hawke's Landing Vineyards is located and rents a room at the Silver Moon Bed and Breakfast, owned and operated by Lou Edwards whose daughter Victoria Anderson, a graphic artist, is engaged to Elliott Hawke.

Another good book!

Another good book from Meryl Sawyer. It takes place in the wine coutry of Northern California. If you've never had the pleasure of visiting this part of the state then this book will take you there. The descriptions of the wineries are right on target as well as the tourists and the locals who inhabit the area. Brody Hawke is sent a letter by his father along with a picture of a brother he never knew existed. The last sentence of the letter tells him, Trust No One. Tori Anderson is the woman who can't let go of her past, and is engaged to a man she knows she can't marry. One kiss from Brody and her world is spinning. The web spins as soon as Brody arrives in town. His father has died and someone would just as soon get him out of the picture too. The entire family is involved in this story from Brody's twin brother to Tori's dog. Brody has some insecurities when it comes to women and this comes across as rather refreshing without being wimpy

Suspense, mystery, romance--what more could you ask for?

Take an intense Navy Seals officer who lives for danger and combined him the the heir to a prestigious wine-producing dynasty who is suave and sophisticated. What do you get? Identical twins separated at birth who have no knowledge of each other. Brody Hawke had no idea the letter he had received from a stranger claiming to be his father would change his life in more ways than one. The letter from Giancarlo Hawke implores his son to come home because "...my enemies are closing in. Trust in no one." Enclosed is a picture that is identical to Brody except for one small detail. Brody has a small scar over his eye. Giving in to curiosity, Brody decides to go meet the father he has never known existed. Meryl Sawer has done an excellent job in creating a romantic suspense with complex human relationships. The difference beween Brody and his identical twin brother Elliot is as stark as black and white. Each man is a product of the environment he has been brought up in. In the equation, Ms. Sawyer throws in Tori Anderson who is engaged to stable Elliot, but attracted to dangerous Brody. I have to admit I was a little leery of this story line when I bought No More Lies. After all, the identical twins separated at birth plot has been done numerous times. However, in this case it works. I hated for the story to end. Ms. Sawyer did such a fantastic job of developing the characters that I felt there was still more to tell about each of them. I sincerely hope there is a sequel to this book. I want more.
