Capitol Chronicles #4

by Shirley Hailstock

Aurora Alexander found her doppelganger in the form of talk show hostess Marsha Chambers. Yet the two of them couldn’t be further apart in personality. Aurora, a trained psychologist, supports her mother’s nursing home expenses through celebrity impersonation. Following a less than stellar interview with Martha Chambers, Aurora is mistaken for Marsha by a kidnapper who attempts to abduct her. Fighting him off long enough for producer, Duncan West, to scare the man away, Aurora’s life is plunged into danger for the famous face she wears.

Duncan West would like nothing better than to have his connections to the East Coast severed. He wants to be in Hollywood making feature films, not adhering to the whims of a diva. But when her look alike appears and he convinces her to stand in for the absent hostess, her life is put in danger and all Duncan instincts to stay away from her are put to the test. Aurora is tied to the East by a suffering parent. And Duncan wants to seek his fortune in the West. Can East and West meet?

About the author

Shirley Hailstock loves reading. She'd like nothing better than to find a corner in the library and get lost in a book, explore new worlds and visit places she never expected to see. Now as an author, she can not only visit those places, but she can be the heroine of her own stories.

A past president of Romance Writers of America, Shirley began her writing career on a dare. Taking a year to complete her first manuscript, the writing bug bit her and she discovered telling stories of love and adventure was what she wanted to spend her life doing.

Reviews

[Cherry-Ann · Rating 3 out of 5]

Overkill! Book started with high promise and slowly descended to mindless boredom by the end. To be honest, it could not hold my attention. Too much over emotional men and women and mystery trails that appeared senseless in the grand scheme of things. How does one assume you kill a person from college and there is no news about a missing student? And then the heroine seemed to be a master of everything in the universe...baker, scholar, social worker, gymnast, talk show host, impersonator with siblings equally engaged but financial/emotional failures. Book will join my "to be donated pile"
