Summary: Great story BUT...
Comment: I really enjoyed this story. Sandra Brown is my all time favorite author. There are a few things I want to point out before you read this story. If you are looking for the usual hot and heavy romance scenes that come with Sandra Brown novels, then you are in for a surprise. This book was definitely a 5 star on the mystery part, but the romance part is maybe at 3 star at best. Sandra Brown's novels usually have steamy love scenes, but this one really lacks that. Overall, the story is very great and I did not figure everything out until the very end.

Summary: Could not get into this one.
Comment: Five years ago, after having one drink, Raley Gannon woke up at his friend Jay Burgess's apartment next to a dead woman. He can't remember what happened and loses his career and his fiancé.
Britt Shelley is a reporter always looking for an explosive story. Now Britt wakes up next to a dead man, after one drink, and can't remember anything. The catch is that the dead man is Jay Burgess.
When Raley found out, he kidnapped Britt and they decided to work together to find out what happened to both of them.
1. How in the heck do you pronounce "Raley"? Rally, Rayley, Raleigh? I ended up calling him Riley.
2. Britt was self involved and admitted she never gave a thought to the damage her stories did to others and wasn't above slanting the story to make it more titillating.
3. Did Jay have to be made out as such a horrible person?
4. There was zero chemistry between Raley and Britt, he didn't even like her for good reason!
However, I didn't see the end coming until it was almost there. This started out with a good plot but went in a dozen different directions and ended up nowhere. The last few books I've read by Sandra Brown have not been up to her usual standards. Get this one at the library.

Summary: OK read, not a good mystery book.
Comment: I have to admit I am a little baffled by the 5-star reviews. The book did flow well and the story kept moving, but you could have seen the end coming from very early in the book. I am one of those people who rarely can predict the outcome of a book, but this was almost a joke how obvious the "bad guys" were. I kept thinking some huge revelation or surprise plot would be revealed, but nothing, which was disappointing. If you want an easy read go for it, but if you are looking for a real mystery, don't waste your time.
