For some reason Sharon Sala is always hit or miss with me, this one was a near miss. It started out really good, very suspenseful with a tornado taking out the heroine’s house (and family) only moments after she`d stumbled across her ex-fiancé burying a body in a shallow grave. We then have her swapping identities with her deceased and near identical cousin and fleeing to Baton Rouge. These opening chapters were excellent unfortunately though the rest of the story kind of petered out and a lot of times I just had to just go with it and not ask too many questions as to why the heroine was doing what she was doing; her motives were all over the place. When she wakes up in the hospital (instead of going to the police) our heroine decides to continue living as her cousin while attending her own funeral, burying the family dog, flushing out the killer and having an insta-romance with her alternate identity`s boss –a near perfect southern gentleman who quickly susses out she`s not who she says she is but decides to help her anyways. Yeah things got a little silly. The romance angle was okay except for the falling in love in a couple days thing but Mike was definitely swoon-worthy, maybe even a tad too perfect.Surprisingly my favourite character here was the bad guy, he wasn’t just your stereotypical villain and I enjoyed watching him trying to salvage the mess he`d made of his life while panicking and making mistake after mistake.There are 2 more books in this series and both of the storylines have been started here during the tornado. I have to say I enjoyed the southern setting so I’ll probably check them out. Cheers398jb2 Can we say WOW! this is rated well beyond a 5. An appropriate title and this book should come with a warning. DO NOT READ WITHOUT 2 BOXES OF KLEENEX.A fabulous mixture of romance, suspense and mystery.It takes place in Borderlaise, Louisiana where Carolina North a famous author is a witness to someone being buried. When she stumbles on her ex-fiance and neighbour after so many years burying a body.She is not sure which is worse catching him in the act of burying the body or being caught in a tornado.Just when she was going home to mom and dad to tell them what she has scene,she finds out that they did not make the tornado. Not knowing what to do she finds herself in her cousins car. Everyone mistakens her as Susan, afterall her mom and Aunt are identical twins, being born the same year and being around each other around family gatherings they were mistaken as twins themselves.Badly injured herself she finds herself in a hospital with a stranger, Mike will her turn her in for impersonating Susan, his assistant for 7 years or will he help her out and break the law.Every author has a fine moment and writes a great novel. All i can say is there was not enough days in the day to finish this. I look forward to Blown apart and Swept away
What do You think about Blown Away (Mills & Boon M&B) (2014)?
There is nothing like a good from Sharon, enjoy everything I read of hers.
