I like how the writer captured your attention from the first paragraph to the closing line. She made you feel for the characters and their struggles.

The author really gives you a sense of what it is like for Andie to struggle with the loss of her memories and her past. Also, she shows how hard it is for Andie to trust those around her, especially after being homeless and then being thrust back into her "old" life that she can't remember. For Andie, trying to let go of her street smarts and the struggle of living day to day, are difficult to let go of back in her upscale life.

This is definitely a book worth picking up. The author has a lot of talent and it comes through in this book.

On the night Tanner Thornberg told his wife, Andra, that he wanted a divorce, she disappeared. For ten years he watched and waited for any news that she had been found, and he finally gets the call he's been both hoping for and dreading.

Andie has no memories from before her visit to the hospital after a car accident. When she finds out the man with her has intent to harm her, she flees to the streets. Now she's living as a homeless woman, trying to survive. After an arrest for taking a bottle of cough medicine identifies her as Andra Thornberg, she returns to live with Tanner as the wife of the governor of New York.

Though both feel the flames of passion that once burned between them, they're also wary and distrustful of each other. Andie doesn't even know this man who calls himself her husband, yet she's drawn to him anyway. And Tanner hardly recognizes the woman who now lives with him. But as they both get to know each other again, will they fall in love once more?

A romance in every sense of the word, The Governor's Wife sentimentalizes the plight of the homeless, painting a somewhat unrealistic picture of those who live on the streets. Tanner's strong attraction to his wife also seemed unexpected since he gave no indication in the opening scene that he still had feelings for her.

But overall, I enjoyed this story, as it's always reassuring to see a marriage pulled back from the brink of divorce. The Governor's Wife is a nice, feel-good read.

Ever picked up a book with that nagging feeling you've read it before? This won't happen with "The Governor's Wife." The author has a fresh, unique writing style. She has a particular gift for description. You'll be reading along and then POW - you've got this totally vivid image in your brain. This little gem is a must read.

Keeps you interested from cover to cover. Gives you great depth in to the character as they struggle through their own thoughts. Highly recommended!!

I "saved" this book for a weekend get-away. I am so glad I did! I was captivated from the beginning and had a hard time putting this book down even for a break...I wanted to get right back to it to find out what happens to the intriguing heroine, Andie.

Suspense, Drama, Romance, and a character that you just had to root for. What else do you need! The book was hard to put down and kept your attention all the way through. It's a quick read that you won't regret.

THE STORY WAS FAST MOVING, EASY TO READ AND HELD YOUR INTEREST, SO YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT! I ENJOYED IT THOUROUGHLY.

I really enjoyed this book, I have to admit, I find it hard to sit down and just read without my mind wandering thinking about things I need to be done. I was given this book to read and told it was a good book,try it out. Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down....4 hours later I was finished. I would highly recommend this book to you.
