And all though reality is just a memory away Carter knows that in order to make Eve well, she will need to remember. And remembering might be the end of what was built at the house near the shore.Secret Identity is a suspense romance. Like all the others in this series, however, this is has to be one of my favorites. Like all of the woman in the Secret series, Eve is a strong lead woman. Which I happen to love.What I love about this book is that it doesn't go on forever. It is to the point and doesn't meander very much. So, your not "WHAT?" or "OMG!" The love scenes are sexy, and because this is a relationship that developed over a long period of time, for both character, it's pleasurable to envision these characters engaged with each other.The other aspect that I like is the story can stand alone, and one doesn't need to read the previous novels in order to enjoy the story.What I didn't love about the book, is that it's predictable. If there is a downside, predictably will be it's only fault..My overall rating of this book is "YAY" rating or 4 stars. It's a great Airport, waiting in the Doctors, riding on the bus read. You won't be disappointed by the characters or the steamy love scenes.
