A definite page-turner. I could not put it down.
One of the best books I have ever read in a long time.
I definitely recommend this book.
Thank you Ms. Forster for writing this book and the others. You are wonderful.

Summary: Huge let down.................
Review: After reading several great reviews, I decided to buy this book.
I have never read anything from Suzanne Forster before. I am a huge fan of Tami Hoag, Sandra Brown, Linda Howard, Lori Foster, Susan Johnson. But, I'm always on the look-out for new authors and thought I'd give her a try.
I'm not sure why I even finished the book! Exasperating! This book had sooooooo much potential but it dragged on and on and on...... Come on!!! "Sophie" was a weak, neurotic woman with no backbone. "Jay" was the only decent thing about the book. He was the only reason why that I finished the book. ...don't waste your money. Buy a piece of bubble gum instead.

Summary: Sensual Reading
Review: Erotica in its finest form: no gratuitous sex, MUCH sensuality. This is my first Suzanne Forster novel, and I couldn't put it down from the time I picked it up Saturday until I was done at 4 a.m. Sunday morning. Forster has gift for mining the erotic drama of EMOTIONS as opposed to sex and leaves you breathless and wanting more. Her characters, while remaining faithful to the genre, nevertheless stretch just enough beyond it to keep you guessing about their fates. Each time I thought I saw the next plot twist, I was mistaken. Forster kept me guessing and now I am COMPELLED to grab her other novels. It doesn't get much better than this!

Summary: WHAT A RIDE!!
Review: HUSBAND, LOVER, STANGER is the story of Sophie and Jay Babcock. Jay has been presumed dead for five years. Sophie, devastated by his loss, was finally putting her life back together when Jay was found alive. He had been held prisoner in a foreign prison. But Sophie is too uneasy to be happy. The man that has returned to her seems to be different, different from the man that she had loved since she was fifteen. Confusion and doubt plague her because though he is different, in many ways he is the same. Jay himself is having doubts about who he is. His memories feel somewhat unreal to him as if he's watching an old movie reel. He remembers Sophie and feels that the memory of her has kept him alive for so long. But he begins to suffer very painful headaches, blackouts, and violent urges. His family, whose pharmaceutical company he is planning to take over, is providing for the therapy he is undergoing to recover from his ordeal in prison. He begins to suspect that they are somehow responsible for his condition and are behind the dangerous incidents that have been happening to Sophie. Suspicions escalate and begin to tear apart the passionate relationship that Jay and Sophie have worked to regain. Conspiracy, betrayal, drugs, secrets and the bittersweet love between Jay and Sophie make this book a page turner. This is an excellent read worth your time and money. You'll enjoy it. Trust me!

Summary: good suspense with a sloppy and disappointing ending
Review: I agree with some of the other reviews I read. The romance between Sophie and Jay was really well-done as was the suspense. However, the ending made me give this book a lower rating than I would have originally. There are some great characters in here and a lot of tension, but I guessed who was behind everything fairly early on. The ending almost ruined the book for me. A good romantic suspenser, then, that falls apart at the end. Read it for the romance.

Summary: Great Reading! Suspense, Love, All Well Written
Review: I disagree with some of the writers below. This book was excellent and kept you reading. Sophie had worked so hard to straighten out her life after Jay was "killed" and then to suddenly have him return was quite a shock.She has strange feelings about her husband, is he or isn't he her husband? Some instances just don't match up. Can she trust him? Can she love him again? Then there is the additional problem of the Babcock takeover in running the company. Who are the bad guys? Are there bad guys? What makes this book so interesting are all the characters we are dealing with. The sister-in-law, the mother, the chemist, the attorneys, Jay, the psychiatrist? I could not put this book down. It is the first of Ms. Forester's books that I have read and I am going to read all the others.

Summary: OK, just OK
Review: I found the first half of this book slow. Ms. Forester went on and on about was he or wasn't he the REAL Jay Babcock. It got to be too much. The book did have a good story, but she could have condensed it a lot.

Summary: wonderful build-up, sloppy resolution
Review: I was really gripped, kept turning the pages, the whole set-up was excellent, lots of motives, confusions, mixed feelings. I couldn't wait to finish it and solve all the mysteries. The confused heroine and the mysterious stranger, really very well done, utterly convinving! Great job! But then, when it came to offering solutions, there were just a few sloppy sentences, like sketching a possible direction what might have happened, but no real explanation. When I am kept on tenterhooks for many hundreds of pages, I want to know what actually happened Without giving away too much: What did Colby actually do to his brother? What was Claude's role in the whole thing? Why were Wallis and El's actions so easily forgivable that El could be fully trusted to complete Jay's treatments at the end? I did not feel satisfied on the intellectual level at all. I hope that Suzanne Forster is going to work on this, as I really like the way she sets up the whole story, I am just left with too many open questions at the end.
