It Was a Dark and Sexy Night #3
Tell Me Your Secrets... (It was a Dark and Sexy Night)
It was a dark and sexy night... And Brooke Ashby knew she was in over her head.
As head writer for the soap opera Secrets, she was used to living vicariously through her characters. But that all changed the day she learned she was adopted, and that her identical twin sister had mysteriously disappeared. What else could she do but try to discover what had happened, even if it meant taking her sister's place? It shouldn't be hard. After all, she was good at research and had a talent for acting, if she did say so herself. Her plan seemed foolproof…until Brooke found herself in bed with her sister's fiancé….

About the author
Cara Summers
188 books56 followersCarolyn Fulgenzi was born on 28 July 1940 in Detroit, Michigan, USA, daughter of Janet (McLaughlin) and Andrew Fulgenzi. She graduated from Dominican High School in Detroit and completed her undergraduate education at Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. She continued her studies attending Syracuse University receiving her Master’s in English Education. After retiring as a teacher with the Fayetteville-Manlius School District, she joined the faculty at Syracuse University as an adjunct professor in the writing department. Concurrently, she was also teaching at Onondaga Community College.
Carolyn blamed her tenth grade English teacher for nudging her into the writer's life. Sister Rose Terrence insisted that she enter a short story contest sponsored by the Detroit News, and Cara won! Of course, she was thrilled with the award -- a dictionary that still sits on her desk -- but at that time, her goal in life was to become an actress, and eventually, she attained that goal. She married Mr Hanlon, and had three sons: Kevin D., Brian A, and Brendan J. Hanlon. Only after her three sons were born that she turned her full attention to writing again. She sold her first Temptation to Harlequin in 1994, and that book, C.J.'s Defense as Carolyn Andrews, also sits on her desk -- right next to the dictionary. Since 2000, she wrote under the pseudonym of Cara Summers. She believed that her background in theater had influenced her writing, allowing her to create new characters and bring them to life for the reader. She passed away on 10 September 2013.

Books I DNF automatically get a 1-star rating.
I couldn't even make it out of the first chapter of this one. I guess I should have read the write-up before starting it because if I had, I'd never have picked this one up.
The whole premise of a grown woman trying to pose as her long lost twin sister who is missing is just preposterous. And having her discuss this with her best friend who is a P.I. and the first words out of her mouth aren't are you fucking serious or are you a fucking moron is just baffling.
Not even giving this book the time of day.

Had a hard time putting this one down, it was well written with very descriptive characters. It provided the predictable happy ending Romance but also incorporated lots of humor and a mystery to be solved...which by the way was not as predictable. Definitely kept me asking "who dunnit?"
