Overall, I loved this story and the main plot. Mistaken identity made in a plan crash and the crash victim (Avery) undergoes reconstructive surgery and ends up taking someone else's identity. Before she can reveal her identity, she finds that the woman's husband (Tate), a senatorial candidiate is an assasination target. His wife (Carol, her new identity) was in on it. During her recovery, Tate is there daily, giving her encouragement and Avery finds Tate as the center of her world. He's very car More...

Avery Daniels, a young reporter with a blemish on her record, dies when her plane crashes on take-off, or does she? She not only survives, but saves the child sitting next to her. She sustains burns that leave her speechless (temporarily) and unrecognizable, and is misidentified as the mother of the child she saved. The woman whose identity she now has is the wife of a Texas senatorial candidate, Tate Rutledge. Avery cannot tell the doctors who she is, and due to burns on her hands, cannot leave More...

The story line for this book could have been interesting but honestly, I couldn't stand any of the characters.

Tate Rutledge is running for senator when his wife Carole is involved in a horrific plane crash - she and his 3-year-old daughter are one of few survivors of the fiery crash. Although Tate has no love lost for Carole, he feels responsible for helping her since she's his wife, and he makes sure she gets the best plastic surgery money can buy to return her face to it's former splendor.

It has been a while since i really enjoyed a book by any author.I have been looking for a sandra brown book to read, after having read a couple of them a few years ago. I found a few more, but from the very first pages i realized that i didn't quite like them and they didn't keep me interested. But this was the one. From the beginning it was interesting, quick, smart and it kept you wondering how on earth she could get out of this mess.The characters had some flaws, in the sense that they din't More...

I've read several other book by Sandra brown so when I saw this one was only $1.99 I purchased it without a second thought. Boy, was I surprised at how badly this was written. The plot sounded interesting enough but ended up being utterly ridiculous. I thought this would be a suspenseful book but what I ended up with was soft core porn. I'm not a prude by any means its just not my choice in reading materials. It also confirmed that i will never bother with another one of browns books as I seriou More...

Entertaining and enjoyable mystery suspense with some feel good romance at the end.

I questioned some of Avery’s actions, but I’m not sure what I would have done differently.

You need to suspend disbelief that the husband would not sense differences in his wife: her walk, talk, mannerisms, body parts, and scars. Especially since Avery had not studied Carole’s talk and mannerisms. The weakest part was probably the main bad guy. I cannot imagine any person planning, waiting, and doing what he did. B More...

This was a long book, where I think some in the middle could have been cut out. I loved the start. You could feel Avery's dread, trapped in her own body and being changing into a person that wasn't her. I can't imagine surviving a plane crash and then waking up to people calling you be someone else's name and not being able to communicate in any way that they are wrong. Then the medical issues start to happen, a surgery scheduled to fix your face, but it isn't your face that it will look like. B More...

Ahahahai, waktunya melunasi hutang! X) Aku menunda membaca buku ini selama 2 bulan (tak terlalu lama lha ya, dibanding buku lain yang sampai bertahun-tahun), dan akhirnya selesai hanya dalam waktu 5-6 jam saja. *dance* Sebuah pencapaian lho ini, soalnya belakangan cenderung jarang ada buku yang mampu membuat aku membelalakkan mata hanya untuk membaca non-stop dari awal hingga ending.

Oke, bahas ceritanya, tidak afdol kalau membaca review tanpa menuliskan terlebih dahulu garis besar ceritanya. :) More...

Not my standard fare, but I liked it.

Take away the cover illustration and this book could take place pretty much any time in history. With the cover image, I knew I was stuck firmly in the 1980's.

Two women are on the same flight, similar enough in appearances, that they're mistaken for one another after the plane crashes immediately upon take-off. Avery Daniels wakes up to find herself swathed in bandages, constantly being referred to as Mrs. Rutledge. As she slowly begins recovery (which takes More...

The plot is very similar to the film Shattered except the genders are reversed. To save herself, a woman must live the life of another woman after having survived a plane crash. It's a case of mistaken identity taken to the extreme and complicated by near perfect reconstructive surgery. Sandra Brown seems best at writing shorter stories, ones that just break the two hundred page mark. This novel at 400+ pages drags in the middle, weighed down politics and the machinations of a teenage harlot.

This is one of the most amazing books I have read in a very long time. Avery Daniels is a has-been television reporter on her way to cover a story in Dallas when her plan crashes almost immediately after take-off.
Also on the plane are Carole Rutledge and her 3 yr old daughter Mandy. Carole's husband, Tate, is running for the senate seat in Texas.
Avery manages to evacuate the burning plane with Mandy in tow and is mistakenly identified as Carole Rutledge. Unable to immediately communicate and te More...

I didn't expect this book to be stellar, but I also didn't expect it to be so terrible given that so many people have rated it five stars. The plot was so implausible that it was hard to become immersed in the story. Avery is a completely unethical, pathetic, disgusting human being. She, a stranger, inserted herself into a family's life in order to get a good scoop (which no paper would run for fear of a massive lawsuit) and to stay close to a man she decides she loves after a couples of weeks o More...

Everyone now believes she's Carole Rutledge, wife of the Texas U.S. senatorial candidate Tate Rutledge. While recuperating in the hospital from surgery to restore her face but before she regains the ability to communicate, someone lets her in on the plan to assassinate Tate but she doesn't know the identity of that person. A More...

This book is like Old Faithful to me...I go back and read it again and again. The story is fantastically woven, and the characters are so enjoyable to read about. And the little sense of mystery in it never disappoints, even though I could almost recite the entire book from memory, for having read it so often! In fact, I might read it again this weekend! That is how much I LOVE this book!

Avery Daniels selamat dari kecelakaan pesawat yang ditumpanginya yang seharusnya membawa Avery dan penumpang lainnya ke Dallas. Hal terburuk yang harus Avery jalani setelah selamat adalah ia kehilangan identitas dirinya: semua orang yang menjenguknya di rumah sakit memanggilnya Mrs. Rutledge. Ia tidak mengerti mengapa ia bisa dipanggil Mrs. Rutledge, namun ia akhirnya ia ingat mengapa ia bisa dipanggil demikian: ia menyelamatkan anak dari Carole Rutledge yang bertukar tempat duduk dengannya. Ia More...

Saya tidak terbiasa membaca novel luar negri yang menurut bahasa saya adalah "novel orang dewasa". bukan tidak ada artinya saya memberi julukan seperti itu, karna memang di dalam novel ini ada beberapa adegan orang dewasa-nya. (you know what i mean, hehe) over all, novel ini mampu memadukan antara cerita ala detektif yang dibumbui dengan cerita roman dengan baik. Yang paling menarik dari novel ini adalah Ide Ceritanya yang out of the box. dan benar2 original. Buku ini cocok dibaca bagi penggemar More...

Seriously?!

This could have been an interesting book. It looked like it when I read the summary on the cover, but my! Was I wrong! It started out ok with a plane crash and a mix up of two people. But I relly got frustrated early on in the book.

So a plastic surgeon would change a persons face without communicating with them? Right... No one would notice the difference in that persons behaviour, or for that reason, a totally different persona? Right... The husband would not notice the difference More...

Sandra Brown is as always, my favorite author of all time & she never disappoints! She masters the genre of "Thriller romance". It's what I love the most, a ,lil bit of romance with some thriller! What can keep me away from the book? NOTHING!

Avery Daniels, a TV face got mixed up with the wife of a powerful politician running for senate Tate Rutledge! Avery didn't have anything in her hands to do, she was given the face of Mrs. Carole Rutledge after she has suffered massive injuries in her fa More...

This is by far one of my favorite Sandra Brown books. It pulls you in immediately and keeps you guessing til the very end. One of my favorite kind of books, because it's mainly mystery, but a little dash of romance thrown in on the side.

What do you do when you wake up in the hospital after being in a plane crash, your entire face is wrapped in bandages due to burns, except you can see out of one eye, you cannot speak due to smoke damage, you cannot move your arms or legs or your head, and your family comes in and is telling you not to worry, a world famous plastic surgeon is going to rebuild your face, so you will look just like you used to....only they aren't your family and you cannot tell them. All you can do is move your on More...

Some authors are good. As a reader you enjoy their story, like the characters, and have the plot figured out by midway through the book. A few authors are amazing and excel at their craft. As a reader you are totally engaged in their story, love the characters, and can't figure out the plot until the very end. Sandra Brown is one of those authors. She is amazing! She is so skilled at keeping the reader on the edge of their seat by the constant twists and turns within the story line. One thing th More...

I believe this was Sandra Brown's third book. I thought it was well done for the most part. Her characters were great, the story was involved and the romance was hot. The only thing I didn't like was the unrealistic recovery time for a woman who survived a plane crash. She had second degree burns all over her arms, legs and face but yet in only a few short months was a raving beauty. Sorry, my mom suffered severe burns to her legs (long story, ultimately my falt) anyway it took six months before More...

Fast, light, easy and absorbing, just what I look for when I need help getting out of a book standstill. So it's not high literature, it's implausible, mostly predictable, dated, the main character's morals questionable, so what? Sometimes you just need a Jackie Collins-esque book that requires little attention, that's what you get here. If it wasn't a throwaway book, meaning I wouldn't read it again or remember much about it in the future, I'd almost give it four stars because of the fun factor More...
