Carla Cassidy is a famous America author best known for the dozens of novels she has written in the romance genre over the years. Carla has written novels under the names Carla Bracale and Carla Cook.

+Biography

Carla grew up in Kansas, USA. Her love for reading emerged at a very young age, this inspiring her interest in the creation of stories and eventually driving her to write over 80 novels in the last couple of decades.

Writing wasn’t Carla’s first choice of career, the author pursuing acting, singing, dancing, and even cheerleading before deciding to finally give into her passion for writing and taking up the pen full time.

Carla Cassidy has won numerous awards over the last several decades, this including the Best Silhouette Romance of 1995 (from Time Magazine) and a Career Achievement Award in 1998 for Best Innovative Series (from Romantic Times Magazine) to mention but a few.

She has also been nominated for an RITA award in the Best Traditional category.

Carla Cassidy has a husband, a daughter, and three dogs. Carla doesn’t believe that there is anything in the world more interesting than reading a good book, aside from writing a good story.

She finds joy in ordering for items she will never use. She has also admitted to her considerable disinterest in all things exercise-related.

+Her Counterfeit Husband

Elena made a mistake. The man she married following her parents’ death was a fraud. Far from the sweet gentleman he pretends to be, Travis is cruel and selfish and Elena has no intention of staying in their marriage, that is until Travis disappears, leaving Elena pregnant.

A few months pass and Travis returns. Showing up suddenly on her doorstep, Travis is not the man she knew. He looks different and claims to have amnesia, and while Elena lets him into the house, she harbors no intention of allowing him back into her heart and life. Rather, she simply believes that every child should know his or her father.

The man calling himself Travis is, in fact, Trent, his nicer, kinder twin. Trent came looking for his brother. While initially certain that Elena might have played a role in the disappearance of Travis, Trent quickly comes to learn of the kind of man his brother was and the horrors he visited upon his wife, this not including the possibility that he cheated her out of her trust fund.

Choosing to continue his charade, neither Trend nor Elena can help the feelings developing between them, this despite the fact that neither party truly trusts the motives of the other.

When you first start reading ‘Her Counterfeit Husband’, your first reaction might be to classify it as a mystery, especially considering the mysterious disappearance and reappearance of Travis.

However, the truth of Travis’ identity doesn’t remain a secret for long; though that doesn’t exactly eliminate all the mystery the book has to offer. Trent is a private investigator on the trail of his brother’s disappearance.

His efforts to solve Travis’ disappearance drive the mystery most of the time. Some readers might complain about the fast paced and rather straightforward approach that Carla Cassidy takes with this novel.

Even Elena’s suspicions regarding the true identity of her transformed husband are resolved far sooner than most people might assume, Elena coming to understand the truth behind Travis’ new nature.

Other readers might actually appreciate Carla’s fast-paced storytelling, though, the plot wasting little time by refusing to drag out these particular elements of the story. These two groups of readers most likely diverge when it comes to the timing, that is to say, while Travis’ identity is revealed relatively quickly, it takes a couple of chapters for Elena to learn the truth.

In other words, critics of Carla’s revelations have a problem with her decision to reveal to her readers to the truth about the new Travis while leaving Elena in the dark, in this sense taking a lot of the mystery out of her own work.

Those readers that actually enjoyed this novel, however, most likely enjoyed knowing the truth about the new Travis and watching Elena slowly unravel that particular mystery.

Carla Cassidy doesn’t break any ground in the romance genre here. As the heroes of the story, Trent, and Elena and destined to fall for one another; naturally, they cannot help but fight their feelings, Trent especially, the knowledge of Travis’ abuse of Elena doing little to assuage his guilt about becoming romantically involved with his brother’s wife.

There is never a question about these two characters finally getting together, and that doesn’t make the novel bad. Fans of romance will get a kick out of the journey it takes for Trent and Elena to finally come together while the twist and turns surrounding Travis’ disappearance will keep most readers at the edge their seats.

Carla Cassidy’s ability to weave a complex mystery into a predictable love story is commendable.

+Heart of the Beast

Bonnie Redding came to an isolated Arkansas lab in search of her father, a figure that had sacrificed everything, including his family, for his career. The man she finds at the research lab is detached and strangely different from the individual she remembers in her dim memories.

Even more unsettling for Bonnie is Nicholas Shepherd, the mysterious doctor that warned her that her father wasn’t at all as he seemed and that evil had taken hold at Redding institute.

Bonnie wanted to flee, her instincts screaming at her to run but she couldn’t bring herself to abandon Nicholas.

Nicholas too wanted Bonnie to run if only to keep his own deadly secret from her. Falling in love would mean both of their destruction.

Heart of the Beast is a werewolf romance, Carla Cassidy takes a pretty basic plot and injects some unexpected twists to engage her readers.

The book revolves around Bonnie, a woman who lost her mother and now looks to her father in a last-ditch effort to connect with the only family she has left. Bonnie’s father hasn’t been seen or heard from in 20 years, and he quickly rejects her when she tries to reach out to him. The mysteries surrounding Redding institute soon become apparent to Bonnie, the novel taking a dark yet romantic turn.

   Have read Are You Afraid and Paint it Red and loved them. Want to know names of other such books, not interested in “romance”, more mystery/thriller. Thanks
