Awakening in a hospital, Jarred Bryant has no recollection of the plane crash that nearly killed him. At first, all that remains familiar is the beautiful woman at his bedside: Kelsey—his soon to be ex-wife. Then come the fleeting, fragmented visions—terrifying visions that hint at a conspiracy involving those closest to Jarred. Are they shards of a paranoid imagination...or true memories of a hunted man?

Struggling to grasp the shadowy images that flutter just beyond his consciousness, Jarred clings to a marriage that feels hopelessly shattered. Yet, mingling with the anger and regret in Kelsey’s eyes, he glimpses a faint glimmer of passion that even the looming divorce hasn’t extinguished. When a harrowing near-miss convinces Jarred that both their lives really are in danger, he knows he must somehow win back the trust of the woman he loved so passionately—and seems to have betrayed—in his still-elusive past.

This was a good thriller and I admired Jarred's keen intellect while protecting himself, but I pretty well figured out most of the bud guys before the end. Some blatant sex scenes.

Amnesia from an accident heals quickly but produces love once again by Jared & his ex wife Kelsey who had been working in competing building companies. Mixed in are relatives and their comfort and discomfort levels as life goes on and then seems to end by the patriarch. The mystery is who was sleeping with whom or not, and who wanted whom killed.

Good and sweet

Different from others I read but I enjoyed the actions and twists of the outcomes. I enjoyed it still. Awesome

[Carrie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was the first modern novel from Janelle Taylor that I read. I was afraid I'd not get into it because it was modern. But from the start I was hooked and I -never- saw the plot twist that was coming! Great book!

[Melissa Hinton · Rating 1 out of 5]

Very boring. I quickly guessed who the killer was. There were no surprises for me and that was very disappointing.
