Lamb's debut novel gets off to a fast and furious start as Florida jewel thief Margot Rhineheart discovers Beau Kama, the love of her life, brutally murdered. When she learns that her boss, Slater Nielson, had Beau killed, she flees the state. As Margot escapes, journalist Meg Grant arrives. Strangely enough, Meg looks remarkably like Margot, and no one believes that she isn't Margot, least of all Beau's brother, Ryan. He wants revenge for Beau's murder but is drawn to the feisty green-eyed woman who he believes jilted his brother. Meg's identity is finally verified but not before Nielson's men track her down and attack her. Luckily, Meg lives, and a guilt-ridden Ryan nurses her back to health. Meanwhile, one of Nielson's men finds the real Margot and hauls her back to Florida. The two women ultimately come face-to-face for a climactic showdown with Nielson that challenges everything that they hold dear. Nielson is killed, Meg and Ryan get together and Margot is pregnant with Beau's child and is beginning to have feelings for Beau's tech friend who helped rescue both women.

This action packed book was hard to put down. Well constructed plot with believable characters and dialogue. A+

Intriguing and strange...yet a pretty good book

[Lois Baron · Rating 1 out of 5]

Abandoned it. Too much coincidence and too many cliches.
