Twice Kissed

Summary: Writing OK...Annoying, Lame Premise
Review: Although this has not been a favorite of mine by this author, it was still a good way to spend the weekend. The characters for the most part were nicely developed but situations within the story could have had better clarification or resolution sooner. The relationship between Thane and Maggie had more promise I think. Although there was a good narrative of their relationship from the past, the "Present" relationship could have been better formed. They went from "I love you" to "I can't trust you" to "I love you" again with a lot of mistrust in between. Maggie had been hurt so many times in the past that I found her reluctance to "forgive and forget" understandable. What I did not understand was why the ends were tied up so fast without a whole lot communication between the two main characters. This could have been done and added something extra to the book without letting the reader feel that the end was just cut off with no real "closure".

Still overall a good suspense packed novel with real emotions, and an added bounus of the author touching on a very touchy subject. A good book and worth the read.

Summary: Not my cup of tea. Yawn, yawn. Could barely finish it.
Review: I expected more of a fast-paced action thriller. What I got was a ton of teenage characterization & the lovers' not very romantic baggage. Give this a skip.

Summary: A compelling read...
Review: Maggie McCrae retreated to Idaho with her thirteen year old daughter after the death of her husband. With the guilt she felt over his death, Maggie was barely coping, and she also had her daughter, Becca's hostility to deal with. When she gets one of the rare 'messages' from her twin Mary Theresa nee Marquise, she knows something is wrong. For only at times when Mary Theresa is in the most distress is she able to talk to Maggie through her mind. The only thing that sticks is that she blames her ex-husband, and Maggie's one time love.

Thane Walker has his own agenda, and he doesn't care what he has to do to accomplish it. When his vindictive ex-wife dissapears after dropping a bombshell on him, he knows that it's probably nothing more than a stunt for publicity. When the police suspect him of being responsible for her dissaperance, he decides to go to Maggie, the only woman he's ever loved.

Twice Kissed is a very emotional tale which started almost twenty years earlier. With jealousy and betrayal the key, Thane and Maggie race to find out what happened to Marquise while both dealing with trust issues. I really enjoy all of Jackson's books as she puts so much emotion into them, you can't help but be sucked right in.
