Five years after her husband Jay disappeared in Nepal in an avalanche and was declared dead, Sophie has decided to move on and has a new fiance. At her engagement party, news of Jay's return turns her life upside down. It turns out he was held prisoner in and has suffered some memory loss - enough to raise suspicions in Sophie. While his family and various tests indicate that he is Jay, she fears he may be an imposter. Losing him once nearly destroyed her - can she give her heart to him again? As Jay prepares to take over the reigns of the family pharmaceutical empire, strange events surrounding Sophie's safety and his own therapy have him wondering if there is a plot against them to tear away at their fragile reunion.

Forster's back-from-the-dead romance is just far too long. A reader can only take so much hedging, hawing, and red herrings before they say "Uncle." The story could've been cut 100 pages without making a dent in the contrived and predictable plot. The only saving grace is that it is one of Forster's more romantic tales, filled with plenty of tension and longing. But overall, it just falls short of being anything above average.

After reading several great reviews, I decided to buy this book.
I have never read anything from Suzanne Forster before. I am a huge fan of Tami Hoag, Sandra Brown, Linda Howard, Lori Foster, Susan Johnson. But, I'm always on the look-out for new authors and thought I'd give her a try.
I'm not sure why I even finished the book! Exasperating! This book had sooooooo much potential but it dragged on and on and on...... Come on!!! "Sophie" was a weak, neurotic woman with no backbone. "Jay" was the only decent thing about the book. He was the only reason why that I finished the book. ...don't waste your money. Buy a piece of bubble gum instead.

A very unusual and mesmerizing story with sensual characters.
A definite page-turner. I could not put it down.
One of the best books I have ever read in a long time.
I definitely recommend this book.
Thank you Ms. Forster for writing this book and the others. You are wonderful.

Erotica in its finest form: no gratuitous sex, MUCH sensuality. This is my first Suzanne Forster novel, and I couldn't put it down from the time I picked it up Saturday until I was done at 4 a.m. Sunday morning. Forster has gift for mining the erotic drama of EMOTIONS as opposed to sex and leaves you breathless and wanting more. Her characters, while remaining faithful to the genre, nevertheless stretch just enough beyond it to keep you guessing about their fates. Each time I thought I saw the next plot twist, I was mistaken. Forster kept me guessing and now I am COMPELLED to grab her other novels. It doesn't get much better than this!

This is one book that readers will either love or hate. A husband dies in Nepal, yet returns 5 years later. His wife Sophie barely survived loosing him once can she take a chance again? And by the way -- who is trying to kill her?

Those that love it will simmer in Jay and Sophie's romance the second time around. And be engrossed in the 2 secondary romances - one with an older couple and the other with a woman considering a lesbian relationship. And will try to figure out who done it.

Those that hate it will find Sophie an weak character. She can not decide if it is or isn't her husband. So much for the DNA tests, finger prints and matching x-rays of a old childhood injury ... no Sophie feels that he has changed (guess 5 years in a POW camp might do that). No rather than try to help him fit back into society, Jay must convince her that he is really her husband.

While parts of this book are strong and well written, the plot is too loosely woven and often doesn't even come close to making sense. My suggestion is to enjoy the romance and skip the endless pages that go nowhere.
