Husband, Lover, Stranger

I disagree with some of the writers below. This book was excellent and kept you reading. Sophie had worked so hard to straighten out her life after Jay was "killed" and then to suddenly have him return was quite a shock.She has strange feelings about her husband, is he or isn't he her husband? Some instances just don't match up. Can she trust him? Can she love him again?Then there is the additional problem of the Babcock takeover in running the company. Who are the bad guys? Are there bad guys? What makes this book so interesting are all the characters we are dealing with. The sister-in-law, the mother, the chemist, the attorneys, Jay, the psychiatrist?I could not put this book down. It is the first of Ms. Forester's books that I have read and I am going to read all the others.

Thoroughly enjoyed HLS - especially Jay - tall, dark, brooding, AND mysterious. Literate and well-written.

I've read all of Suzanne Forster's books and she just keeps getting better! I think this is the most suspensful book she's written to date. Jay and Sophie are wonderful and the intrigue and mystery in this one builds to a climax that knocked me out! The romance is wonderful, but telling too much here would spoil it! I HATE that . Highly recommend!!

This Suzanne Forster book kept me guessing from beginning to end! Was he or wasn't he?? Everytime I thought I had it figured out, Suzanne through me another loop and it was back to square one. I especially ejoyed the way she developed Sophie. This is one of Forster's BEST efforts!

When her rich husband Jay Babcock disappeared somewhere in Nepal five years ago, Sophie had to accept the fact that he died and went on to rebuild her life. News soon reaches Sophie that Jay, the only man to set her heart on fire, has been found alive. Apparently, he has been languishing in a prison and now suffers from its aftereffect. When the man claiming to be Jay returns home, sparks fly between him and Sophie. Even though he has memories that only he and she could have known, Sophie begins to doubt that this man is her husband because he acts so much different than the care free Jay she once knew. She starts to wonder whether a clever impostor has stolen her spouse's identity in order to gain control of the rich family pharmaceutical company. Though she has fallen in love with the new Jay, it remaisn Sophie's choice whether to believe that he is the genuine article or the main character in an elaborate hoax. Suzanne Forster has acquired a reputation for some of the best romantic suspense novels on the market today, deservedly so. Her latest, and perhaps greatest chiller, HUSBAND LOVER STRANGER is a 14 karat gold thriller that will shock and please fans of the sub-genre. Though the romance is exciting and worth reading for that element alone, it is the rising suspense culminating in a shocking (but realistic) climax that makes this classy keeper a cross-genre gem.
