Mistaken Identity by Stephanie R. Caffrey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Evelyn is a woman on an exhilarating trip. In a layover in London while headed to Greece, she accidentally has a switched bag issue with a woman named Megan, who in a rush ran into Evelyn and grabbed the wrong bag in her haste. Evelyn also happens to look similar to Megan, which proves to be a problem.
Patrick is a private investigator who happens to be at the airport looking for Megan and trying to prevent her from fleeing, as she is his main witness in a case he is investigating. This is where Evelyn’s likeness to Megan causes the issue, especially when it is discovered that she now is carrying Megan’s bag that she misplaced while in a hurry to disappear. Megan happens to be on the run from the Fitzgerald crime family, whom Patrick is investigating for a multitude of broken laws and striving for justice.
The action starts immediately and pulls you in. Patrick and Evelyn’s first meeting was a fun read and their chemistry is immediately noticeable. I really appreciated that the slow burn in the background added a little tension, but it didn’t take away from the excellent story telling. Evelyn is a strong and capable female protagonist that shows her bravery in uncertain circumstances. Patrick is a man driven by justice, but can’t deny his interest in Evelyn. Regardless of their chemistry together, Patrick is the type of man who would have protected her with or without it. Anticipating the next one!
