Ken Douglas writes thrillers, usually about a woman in troubleÂthe walls are closing in on her, bad guys are coming fast and furious, she has nowhere to turn. Jack Stewart writes adventure thrillers that take place on the seaÂgood guys and bad guys in sailboats. He sort of does for sailboating what Dick Francis does for race horses. So when they teamed up to write their second thriller together, naturally one would expect them to turn out something like their excellent DIAMOND SKY, a woman in peril thriller that includes lots of sailboat action, but not so this time out. This time we have a book that reads like a thriller, holds your attention like a thriller, quickens your pulse like a thriller, but it's not a thriller, not in the usual sense. There are no demented serial killers here, no ticking clock, no building full of innocents about to blow, no sailboat about to sink.
However there is a fair amount of tense action in this well plotted mainstream title that focuses on two young women, Haley and Taylor, who have to grow up fast when Haley's best friend and Taylor's twin is killed by a drunk driver in Wellington, New Zealand, half a world away from their Newport Beach, California home. The girls fly to Wellington barely in time to say a tragic goodbye. They are devastated.
Taylor's father is running for president and on the surface he is every bit the loving husband and caring father she believes him to be, however he is hiding a dark secret and there are even darker secrets in the family closet. He wants to use his daughter's death to further his candidacy and he wants Taylor, the surviving twin, to come back to America and appear with him at campaign rallies to remind the voters of his loss. But in their grief Haley and Taylor discover they have feelings for each other, forbidden feelings if your father wants to be president.
And there you see our problem, how do we classify this book. Douglas and Stewart write thrillers, not love stories. Especially not this kind of love story. Tender and romance are not words usually associated with these men, and though there is ten9780671004163|Twenty-eight, single, and struggling to keep her craft shop afloat, Zoey Enright never thought she would become a celebrity until a knock-out audition lands her a plum job as an on-air saleswoman for the Home Market Place home-shopping network.
