Lisa Shewmaker was a rising star in a prestigious law firm in Lexington, Kentucky; that is, until the firm went bankrupt and she lost her job. With an ailing mother to care for, Lisa takes the first position she can find: research assistant to District Attorney Scott Buchanan. Scott is as disagreeable as he is sexy, and Lisa suspects the only reason she got the job is because of her privileged upbringing as the daughter of a wealthy federal judge.
While reviewing cold cases in the Fayette County courthouse, a particularly thick manila envelope draws Lisa's attention. The details of the case are engrossing: An entire family-father, mother, and two children-disappeared more than twenty-eight years ago. Except that's not all: The mother in the photo could have been Lisa's twin, and the toddler in the picture bears an uncanny resemblance to Lisa herself. Before Lisa can learn more about her past, a series of catastrophes strike close to home. Lisa confides in Scott, and their relationship develops into something completely different. Together Lisa and Scott unravel a terrifying web of criminal connections that could destroy the very fabric of Lisa's life-if she lives long enough, that is.
I know that I can always pick up a Karen Robard book for good romantic suspense. Shattered is no exception, it grabbed me from the beginning and kept my interest until the wee hours one evening/morning.

I always enjoy a good romantic suspense book. The mystery sounds engaging in this one also. Thanks Nise.
Looks like something I would enjoy. I love mysteries.

I don't read a lot in this genre, but I've heard good things about Robards.
I've never heard of Karen Robard.
But, this book sounds good.
Thanks for visiting my blog today!
Oh, I haven't read anything by Karen Robards in awhile, but this sounds very compelling...thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
I love Karen Robard, but haven't read this one yet.
Thanks for playing!
This does sound interesting. I think I'll add it to my reminder list on Paperbackswap. :-)
I've never read her books before but romantic suspense sounds great to me!
This looks really good. Do you know how many books are out there with this title? A lot. I just got one from the library yesterday except that it's a true crime book :) Interesting, huh?
I LOVED Without Words, Nise`! 5 Stars. I need to do a review.
