There are only a few writers whose new books I wait for with eagerness and Jude Deveraux is one of those writers. I have always enjoyed the way her books flow, the romance involved, and the wonderful plots (A Knight In Shining Armor and Sweet Liar spring immediately to mind). I couldn't find any of those attributes in this book, however. I've never been so confused about the characters in a book, and in this one I did a lot of wondering which character was which and who did what to whom. The story line jumped from place to place so fast that my head was spinning. I thought perhaps I had read it too fast the first time and slogged my way through a second reading, but came away with the same sense of disappointment as I did after the first reading. This is not a book I'm going to keep or read again. I'll be selling it at my next garage sale.
