Dawson Foster cruelly abuses his pregnant wife Samantha Taylor and her escape attempt is thwarted by a headlong tumble down a flight of stairs that costs the lives of Sam and her baby.  When archival bounty hunter Randall Tarrent kills fellow hunter Dara Kelly, ostensibly in the line of duty, Sam is shocked to find herself living in Dara’s body, while Dara herself becomes a mostly helpless ghost. Even more shocking for Sam is when she meets Dara’s boyfriend Caution, who happens to be the twin brother that her husband never mentioned.  As mystery continually swirls around Sam/Dara, the body count begins to mount.  Even more disturbing is Sam’s inability to resist her attraction to Caution, and she finds herself falling in love with him, despite not wanting to hurt Dara’s feelings.  Meanwhile, the Archangels Michael and Gabriel are watching the events unfold from heaven, willing and able to intervene on the side of good to bring the events to the desired outcomes.  For his part, Caution is elated by who he believes is Dara’s willingness to finally enter into a committed relationship.  What purpose is Sam serving in Dara’s body and who is hiding IN PLAIN SIGHT

Wow, Ms. McKeever, wow!   When this reviewer first read the premise/synopsis of this novel, it seemed to be very convoluted and unreal, but through the extraordinary talent that Ms. McKeever has to make any story line believable, not only did this great tale spring to life but it was also extremely plausible and realistic.  It was difficult to write a summary of this tale for fear of giving away too much information, but please believe that once a reader starts this story, they will find it most difficult to put down.  Although this tale contains fewer sex scenes than other books this reviewer has read by Ms. McKeever, the ones it does have pack a powerful erotic punch.  The characters in this story are unforgettable, especially sweet. Sam, who proves surprisingly strong and tough-as-nails Dara, who shows flashes of heart-tugging vulnerability.  The ending of this tale is not to be missed and was deeply satisfying!  Every time this reviewer thought that the mystery was solved, Ms. McKeever would throw yet another plot twist into the mix. Ms. McKeever has written a great tale that all readers of erotic paranormal romance should love.  This one is truly a tour de force.  Highly recommended!
