In Another Man's Bed

The latest from veteran romance writer Ray (Dreaming of You) opens promisingly as Justine Crandall catches husband Andrew cheating. She races off in her Porsche with apologetic Andrew in hot pursuit, but when his SUV crashes, he lands in that soapiest of plot devices, a coma, and his wife into a bind: can you divorce a man in a coma? Things get trickier when Dalton Ramsey, best-selling author and Justine's high school sweetheart strides into the picture still carrying a Lady Liberty-sized torch. Justine's friend Brianna Ireland, a no-nonsense lawyer, meanwhile, resists the overtures of ex-cop Patrick Dunlap. Ray labors to keep things smoldering, but Justine's reluctance to break her vows starts to seem silly and quaint as Ray tries to muster some much needed-did Andrew's eyelashes just flicker? Will Brianna scare Patrick away?-but minimal tension.
