Who was Jason Zacharias?

That riddle was the key to Noel Emery's frightening predicament. Ever since she'd arrived in Britain, she'd been plunged into chaos, pursued by assassins. And her guardian angel was a seasoned veteran of murder . . . and a man who claimed to be her husband.

Had Noel once shared lovers' caresses with the dark, dangerous Jason Zacharias? Or was the straining sensuality between them just an illusion? The answer was locked in the best of all hiding places-her mind. A mind that now scrambled fantasy and memory.

Noel's only way out of the maelstrom was to trust her heart--and her life--to a man who pretended to be a protector but who looked every inch a predator. ( )

One minute, Noel Emery is helping out her uncle Henry in his antique jewelry shop. The next, she's in the middle of international intrigue with assassins after her, the word chaos keeps popping into her mind, and apparently, she has a husband she she doesn't remember: Jason Zacharias.

The Good:
The action. It's page-turningly exciting.
The twists. I couldn't predict what was coming next, though they did make sense.
The characters. Both Noel and Jason were very believable and reacted consistently with their characters as drawn.

The Bad:
The science. The only reason I called this 4.5 stars instead of 5 is that I had trouble believing the science, particularly the implanted memories.

The Verdict:
A LOT of book packed into a slim category. Page-turning, exciting, and emotional. Typical Rebecca York. ( )
