What would you do if you woke up one morning and looked in
the mirror and had no idea who that person was. That's the
dilemma Lizette Henry faces in SHADOW WOMAN. At first she
thinks she's had a stroke or maybe the flu, because as she
tries to figure out what is going on, she begins to
develop a horrible headache which makes her nauseous.
She has no one to call except a friend at work, but how
silly to call and say when I get in to work tell me I still
look like me. She calls off sick but something that is said
then starts more wheels spinning in her brain and more
nausea. Little things that she doesn't understand and
thinks might be paranoia start to make sense.
Behind the scenes watching Lizette are two factions at
work. One is Al Forge who was watching to make sure Lizette
Henry doesn't remember her past, he answers to Felice
McGowan, whom he doesn't exactly trust. The other is
someone Al doesn't trust either, because he knows the man
could kill him without blinking an eye. Xavier is watching
her and those who are watching her listening for any hints
of trouble or a chance for her to come back.
As Lizette, still half certain she has the flu and
hallucinating, has a chance encounter with one handsome
hunk in the drugstore and begins to have dreams that are
explosive and very realistic about the man she dubbed as
Mr. X. Soon with memories that return and learning how to
fight the affects of the headaches. Lizette realizes that
her paranoia and hallucinations are very real and someone
is really after her. She doesn't know who to trust but she
knows she needs to run.
SHADOW WOMAN is one of the best that Linda Howard has
produced. It's filled with action, a dark mysterious man
and equally mysterious heroine who is working to get her
life back. You will not be able to put this book down as
with each page you turn the more you learn about who
Lizette is, what she has done, why she no longer remembers
and what length Xavier will go to protect her. The love
scenes, especially when Lizette remembers Xavier, are
sizzling hot. Anyone seeking mystery, a dark brooding hero
and a heroine who can kick butt with the best of them will
love SHADOW WOMAN.
Lizette Henry wakes up one morning and makes a terrifying discovery: She doesn't recognize the face she sees in the mirror. She remembers what she looks like, but her reflection is someone else's. To add to the shock, two years seem to have disappeared from her life. Someone has gone to great and inexplicable lengths to keep those missing years hidden forever. But the past always finds a way to return.
Strange memories soon begin to surface and, along with them, some unusual skills and talents that Lizette hasn't a clue about acquiring. Sensing that she's being monitored, Lizette suddenly knows how to search for bugs in her house and tracking devices in her car. What's more, she can elude surveillance—like a trained agent.
Enter a mysterious and seductive stranger named Xavier, who claims he wants to help—but who triggers disturbing images of an unspeakable crime of which Lizette may or may not be the perpetrator. With memories returning, she suddenly becomes a target of anonymous assassins. On the run with nowhere to hide, Lizette has no choice but to rely on Xavier, a strong and magnetic man she doesn't trust, with a powerful attraction she cannot resist. As murky waters become clear, Lizette confronts a conspiracy that is treacherous and far–reaching and a truth that, once revealed, may silence her and Xavier once and for all.
