4.5 Stars

The crash of a Dallas-bound jet wasn't just a tragedy to TV reporter Avery Daniels; it was an act of fate that handed her a golden opportunity to further her career. Mistaken for a glamorous, selfish woman named Carole Rutledge, the badly injured Avery would find that plastic surgery had given her Carole's face, the famous senatorial candidate Tate Rutledge for a husband, and a powerful Texas dynasty for in-laws. And as she lay helpless in the hospital, she would make a shattering discovery: 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

OK, you sort of have to suspend the disbelief here a bit. Some of the story is a bit implausible but go with the flow and enjoy it.

There was a lot about the man to admire. From the crown of his tousled brown hair to the toes of his scuffed boots, he was a man's man and a woman's fantasy

I mean can someone step into somebody else's shoes without those closest to you finding out?

But for every ardent admirer, he had an equally ardent enemy

There was politics, friendships, newsroom drama, families, jealousies!

Something stunck in Camelot

Again, I won't say too much. You are better off just diving in. Yes, I was second guessing most people. Was wrong, as usual. That is the beauty of the writing of Ms Brown, she can make everyone a suspect.

Sweet revenge sometimes required bitter sacrifices

"I don't have a choice."

Sex scenes were smoking hot as usual.


So why not 5 stars? Again, I think it is because I love the books where the main male character is a bit of an ass and he is the one under suspicion too. Tate was not under suspicion here.
