Customer Reviews

A book worth reading...

This was a great book, up until the ending. I couldn't put it down and read it in four hours. Cresswell always delivers the reader the right amount of suspense with romance mixed in.Jessica was found hiding under a car when she was four years old after an accident that left several people dead, including the people that were believed to be her parents. A policeman on the scene found the little girl, and believing that she was now an orphan, took her home where she was eventually adopted by his son and daughter in law.Twenty six years later she learns the devistating news that the person she thought she was for all those years was dead seven months before the accident. With the help of her ex husband, she works to unravel the truth of her real identity. While looking for the truth, her and her ex husband, Dan, try to come to terms why their marriage didn't work out and if they can make it work once more.I was very satisfied reading this book, but I felt a major let down when I read the last page and found that the book ended how it did. I felt that the author should have gone into more depth about Constance and Ed, and Constance's return to the world. Cresswell makes the reader root for Constance, and then leaves you feeling bereft at the end of the book.Overall, I would recommend this book, but I most likely won't pick it up again.

Another Great Read from Cresswell

This was the third book I've read from Jasmine Cresswell and once again I was not disappointed. It's romance, intrigue, suspense all wrapped into one. If you haven't read any of her other books, definitely pick this one up and then pick up her other books (The Conspiracy, The Refuge, etc.), you won't be disappointed.

Incredible talent, a must read

In December 1969, a little girl was found after a horrible car crash killing her parents. Assuming she is the daughter of the dead parents, a police officer brings her home to be adopted by his son. Now twenty-six years later, the little girl finds out she isn't who she thinks she is.When Jessica's ex-husband brings a document to her showing she isn't the daughter of the couple she thought she was. Together, Jessica and her ex-husband Dan learn the secrets to Jessica's past and find love again.I thought this book was great. Romance, suspense, twists and turns. This is a definite read.

This book was GREAT!!!

I really enjoyed this book. It was hard to put down. All the characters were great, but I really liked Constance and Dr. Powell. You will not regret buying this one

A sexy, sassy, suspenseful up-to-the-minute novel.

Get in some easy-to-fix, non-demanding food, unplug theclocks, the TV, the computer, the doorbell, even. Oh, yeah -- and grab a big box of tissues, then settle down to read this scintillating, sexy, sassy, suspenseful up-to-the minute novel. Just who is Jessica Marie Pazmany, anyhow? The person who grew up wearing that name is now 30, and knows that she was adopted as a child. Could that be why someone is trying to kill her? From a winter evening in Cleveland to a State Travel Office in Colorado, a very exclusive hospital in North Carolina, and Washington DC, with a stop in 1969 Long Island, you'll be swept along with Jessica, who may instead really be Liliana. With the help of her former husband Dan, who after all, brought her the papers that had been hidden in her adoptive parent's attic, Jess/Lili sets out to discover her own identity. Which of them is the target? Told in engrossing and parallel chunks of narrative, t! wo additional interwoven stories evolve; the woman, Constance, who for 26 years has lived in that hospital waiting to not be 'mad' anymore , and Supreme Court Justice Nominee Victor Rodier, who planned every last detail on his march to the Court. You'll enjoy this satisfying, fast-paced sizzler. Then you can ponder the real mystery here. Why isn't this author on the NYT list? Beats me.
