Regrets are a part of life and,
hopefully, a person will have an
opportunity to correct the mistakes one
makes before it’s too late. This is the
premise at the heart of Layton’s novel,
and it may bring tears to your eyes.
This taut, heartfelt story is very
satisfying. The murder mystery is well
crafted and the romance is equally well
done.
Identical twins Corinne and Charlene have
been estranged for 10 years but have
independently decided to reconnect with each
other. Corinne seems to have it all — a
wealthy husband, two loving children, etc.
The day the sisters reconnect, one of them
ends up dead and the other in a coma.
Because of the extent of her physical
injuries, Charlene is mistaken for Corinne.
She decides to keep up the pretense in order
to find out who killed her sister and why.
Add Corinne’s estranged husband, Tyler, to
the mix as he and Charlene find themselves
falling in love. (GENESIS/INDIGO, Mar., 368
pp., $6.99)

sister Corrine’s estranged husband. Can Charlene discover the truth
before her deception is unraveled… or before the killer strikes again?

REVIEW: Charlene
McDonald and her twin Corrine McDonald-Mills, meet at a ritzy hotel in
California for their thirty-fifth birthday after years of separation. Their
reunion is short-lived when Corrine is murdered and Charlene is left in a coma.
Tyler Mills is the CEO of Mills Shipping Company. He finds himself in a state of
shock when he learns that his wife, whom he had planned to divorce, is in a coma
and may not live.
LIES IN DISGUISE
is a story of mistaken identity, trafficking and second chances. The majority of
the story takes place in California, with a trip to Chesapeake, Virginia. The
plot is intriguing and the cast of characters are highly entertaining. The main
characters learn that there is such a thing as a second chance at love.
Ms. Layton has written a great romantic suspense
that I think most readers will enjoy.

Wow.. I'm
lost for words. Talking about an EXCELLENT suspense/romance story. This book
started off with excitement and remained that way to the end. I have enjoyed
Corrine, Charlene and Tyler story and I know you will to if you read this book.
I have read so many books with no depth, underdeveloped characters and your
typical storyline. You will not find that here. I have to give praise to Ms.
Layton for a job very well done. I felt immensely satisfied after reading this
book. I definitely will be reading this again!

Amazon
noted... " Only 8 left in stock-order soon". After reading Lies in Disguise, I
can see why there are only 8 books left in stock. I can tell you Amazon will be
ordering more to replace their stock due to demand.
This is the authors best book thus far. I couldn't put the book down from the
moment I started to read it. Lies in Disguise is an excellent read!

CROSSING THE LINE
by
Bernice Layton
Genre: Multicultural,
Romantic suspense
 RT Rating
This
fast-paced, intelligent and funny romance doesn't take any prisoners.
The action starts on the first page and does not let up until the bad
guy is no longer a threat. Getting there is all the fun.
After
Raina Wade witnesses a triple murder, she begins a cross-country odyssey
in the company of Pittsburgh detective Nicholas Laprelli. Nick has been
assigned to escort Raina and her father, a former police chief, to
Seattle. Nick and Raina are like oil and water, but neither is willing
to back down. Nick's partner was murdered by the same killer Raina saw,
which makes this case all the more personal. As they take their journey,
a killer is on their trail, and they'll need all their wits about them
to stay alive. (GENESIS/INDIGO LOVE SPECTRUM, Apr., 427 pp., $6.99) |

I really
enjoyed this book. It was part mystery romance and had some comical parts. Both
main characters were really strong and yet sensitive and vulnerable when it
caused for it. Over 400 pages I felt I got my moneys worth Layton went into nice
detail. The only issue that I had which is very minor is that I felt Raina did
too much she was an artist could sing play baseball fish decorator fashion
designer mentor at the church and so on but like I said not a big deal. I also
didn't think it was logical that it would take this killer almost 6 hours

This was
an excellent book. The best Indigo Love Spectrum Book that I've read. The story
was very well-written and BOTH characters were likable. There wasn't one who you
really liked and the other whom you really wanted to strangle. Both people gave
and took in equal measure, and BOTH of them were willing to apologize when they
did something wrong. I could go on and on about what I liked, but I won't.
Suffice it to say that this book is totally worth your money. 5 Stars, Highly
Recommended.

I cannot get
into Cop stories but I love Crossing the Line. Nick was sexy, stupid,
and kind, Riana was smart, loving, and resourceful. It was a wonderful
interracial love story that kept it real. The plot was smooth and kept
you guessing. I loved it Kudos to Bernice. |

This book
was so very good. I rate books based on whether I connect with the
characters and I just loved Nick and Raina. He was not arrogant as you
see so many male characters and she was smart, yet vunerable. They were
genuine characters and you could feel their sincere love. The secondary
characters only added to this story. There was enough mystery and
intrigue interwoven. Very, very good book! |
