I really enjoy how Sandie Jones builds up the suspense in her books and makes me want to keep reading. This book was no exception, but I have to say that the build up is a slow one and did not get fast-paced until about halfway through the book. The plot is one that is not totally original, with a DNA test producing a previously unknown sibling. Lauren did the DNA test and Jess showed up on her doorstep. Kate doesn’t accept Jess at all and Rose, the mom, is totally flabbergasted at the thought that her husband’s reputation will be dragged through the mud. Lauren was a likable character, but very weak personally. She didn’t know how to say “no” to anyone and that did not endear her to me. Kate was a strong minded journalist who is determined to find out the truth about who Jess is. This is one of those tales with the moral of “be careful what you wish for.” I enjoyed the twists and the clues that were dropped along the way. I was able to figure out the ending long before it actually ended, but it was really entertaining so I continued to read. Fans of Sandie Jones, domestic drama and mystery/suspense will enjoy this book.
