Face to Face
SHE WOKE IN A BALTIMORE HOSPITAL --- WITH AMNESIA ...
and with child. Who is she? According to Mike Lancer, her rescuer and the man whose striking face is the last image she remembers, she is Justine Hollingsworth.
Nothing about herself seems to fit --- not the face in the mirror, the money in the bank ... or the husband in her bed. All that seems right is the baby inside her and Mike's arms around her. Consumed by a forbidden passion, and racked by a nameless fear, she must discover if she is Justine ... or the victim of a deadly mind game. Her life --- and that of her unborn child --- depends on it.

About the author
Rebecca York
428 books452 followersRuth Glick (born 1942) is a best-selling author of healthy cookbooks and has also written dozens of romantic suspense romance novels under the pen name Rebecca York.
Ruth earned a B.A. in American Thought and Civilization from George Washington University and an M.A. in American Studies from the University of Maryland. Although she always wanted to become a writer, Glick was convinced that her lack of spelling skills meant that her goal was unattainable. As a stay-at-home mother, she took a community college course to help her choose a career. The course made it very clear that writing was her primary interest. Glick began writing articles for newspapers and magazines, but after several years decided to try writing fiction. Her first book, a kids' science fiction book, was finally purchased by Scholastic Inc..
Since then, Glick has become a highly successful author of over 50 romantic suspense and paranormal novels. Many of her novels are published under the Harlequin Intrigue line, and in June 2003, she became one of the first authors published under Berkley's new Sensation imprint. Before 1997, she often collaborated with Eileen Buckholtz and Kathryn Jenson.
Glick also is a highly regarded author of cookbooks focusing on healthy eating. She sometimes hires trained chefs to test the recipes that she creates, and makes sure that every recipe is tested at least three times before it appears in one of her cookbooks.
Glick is the head of the Columbia Writers Workshop. She and her husband, Norman Glick, live in Columbia, Maryland, where Ruth collects rocks, and enjoys cooking, walking, reading, gardening, travel, and Mozart operas. They have two grown children, Elissa and Ethan, and two grandsons (Jesse and Leo).

This was a really good book. The tension between the couple was electric and vivid. I remember the phone conversation that they shared where they talked about romantic movies, and the hero said his favorite romantic movie was Marnie by Alfred Hitchcock, and he describes why he liked it. That was such a good scene, one of many in this book. This book will always be special to me because it inspired me to watch my favorite Hitchcock movie, Marnie.
There is tension because the heroine wakes up pregnant and shouldn't be since she's not involved with anyone. The hero has appointed himself her protector, but falls deeply in love with her.
Really worthwhile to read if you like the older category romances.

It was entertaining as well as suspenseful and sure holds your interest trying to solve all the mysteries, but it was just too far-fetched and convoluted for me to give it another star. The answer to the h's identity became obvious to me, but to add that twist at the end was just too ridiculous! I don't know what the author was thinking, but I'm surprised she took the chance of having the publisher say, "Oh, COME ON!!!!"

It wasn't the worst book I've ever read, but it was just a typical romance story. Obviously the main character has amnesia and so everyone seems certain about her identity except for her (she is certain she is someone else). And, to be fair, the person they believe her to be isn't exactly a fantastic person, so I can't blame her for wanting to be someone else. Now *shock* she isn't actually that person! In fact, she is that person's identical twin! *WHAT* crazy.
Otherwise, the plot was pretty typical. I have read this one before (probably about six years ago) and I remember thinking how unique everything was. Now, with many, many more books under my belt, I realize exactly how mundane this one is. I've read so many books (and have watched so many shows/movies) that almost have this exact plot and I realize exactly how stale I find this.

I enjoyed the book, but did not think the quality of the writing was up to York's abilities.

Got this from the Library... It was a quick read. It's an old fashion romance.. Not much more to say.
(audiobook was on tape, fair quality.)
