I received this book free from Net Galley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I just found out that this book was originally printed under the title HER FORGOTTEN BETRAYAL, and most of the reviews I read were for that book. The note on the summary also says that it has had editorial revisions. I am not sure what that means, but I think the new title fits the book better than the original one.
Shawn Cassidy and Cole Meridos grew up together and fell in love. Unfortunately due to lots of misunderstandings and betrayals from Shawn's family, Cole still feels a lot of resentment about it. Shawn doesn't because she was shot at her work and cannot remember anything about her past life. The government people listen to her story but they believe she is the traitor and should be arrested. So she is sent to her Grandmother's old house to stay until she can remember.
Cole works for the FBI and he knows Shawn well enough that she would not betray her country. He stays at his old house which is near where Shawn is staying. Meanwhile, lots of things are happening that are causing Shawn and her government helpers to believe that she is losing her mind. Cole does eventually meet up with Shawn and stays with her to convince her and the people who want to arrest her for treason that she is sane and did nothing wrong. Meanwhile they renew their love.
I loved this book because their was non-stop action from the beginning of the book until the end. Some people say that the author introduced the villain too early. This did not bother me because I was still was trying to figure out how and why he was doing all of this. There is no graphic violence and sex. I like it both ways, but sometimes it is just nice to read about small things happening that make the heroine believe she is going crazy.
I have read many books by Anna DeStefano, and I have liked all of those books. This is a little different because it is more suspenseful than the others I have read. However, Ms. DeStefano is still primarily a romance writer, so that is what she focused on the most. I think she did a wonderful job.

It was like reading two different writing styles. The first half then second half of non-stop chatter.

The book started out very suspenseful and really good. Then it went to ten to sometimes fifteen pages of either what one or the other is thinking. How many times does one need to be told, that's the hand that was burned and the thumb cut. The author needs to have more respect for her readers. We can think for ourselves. You'll figure out the enemy early in the book.

This was a good read with likeable characters. Unfortunately, I figured out early on who the bad guy was. However, that did not keep me from continuing to read. I would recommend this book. It was well written with both suspense and romance, and I felt sympathy for both the hero and heroine.

I enjoyed this book so much. The author did a fine job I will be reading her books again. Pick this one up.

Poorly written, repetitive phrasing, ridiculous characters, and an expected resolution. Even the romantic scenes were boring and sadly unemotional to read.

Good plot, but character situations very juvenile.
