I am on the "staff" of reviewers for LoveRomances.com (this is a volunteer position that I enjoy holding)...Anyway, when I picked up my copy of STWOM, I knew that I wanted to write a review for this book. Well, I finished it and submitted it and it will be on the site in March, and I just thought I'd share it with everyone in case they thought there was something I just had to add!It is VERY hard to put this wonderful book into words, but I've given it my best shot!

The long awaited novel from Judith McNaught has finally arrived!
Leigh Kendall has worked her way up to a fabulous career as a Broadway actress. With a successful career and a loving marriage to Logan Manning, Leigh’s life is complete. When Logan finds the perfect mountain retreat to build their dream home on, and asks Leigh to join him there after her performance, Leigh readily agrees. As Leigh makes her way up into the mountains, she is caught in a horrible blizzard that makes it impossible for her to see the road in front of her, let alone the cabin where she was supposed to meet Logan.
Lost and alone, Leigh is suddenly run off the road by an oncoming car. When she awakens, she finds herself in the hospital. Immediately, upon asking for her husband, she is informed by the police that he has mysteriously disappeared. Distraught and seriously injured, Leigh searches for her missing husband. As the search continues, Leigh finds herself caught up in a maelstrom of lies and suspicion. Who can she trust when nothing is as it seems?
This book is nothing short of amazing. The story line is completely unpredictable and refreshing. Filled with edge of your seat suspense, Ms. McNaught’s trademark wit and an endearing love story, Someone To Watch Over Me will give readers many sleepless nights!
The well-planned mystery element will keep the reader guessing from the very first page. The pacing is perfect, never revealing too much to give the ending away. The tidbits that are slowly revealed snag the reader and effectively reel them deeper into the unfolding mystery. Both mystery and romantic fiction lovers will appreciate this well constructed suspenseful tale.
Ms. McNaught’s unique writing tells this story with an incredible depth of poignant emotion. Each scene has been lovingly crafted with exquisite attention to detail. It is the “little things” included throughout which make this novel so wonderful and such a delight to read. Her characters are so life-like and portrayed with so much humanity that the reader immediately falls in love with them. Be prepared to laugh with them, cry with them, and sometimes do both at the same time!
Having been a long time fan of Judith McNaught, this reviewer can honestly say that waiting for this book felt like a lifetime. It is well worth every agonizing postponement that her fans had to go through to get their hands on this book! Someone To Watch Over Me has made its way into a prominent position on this reviewer’s keeper shelf, as well as in her heart. Thank you, Ms. McNaught, for giving each page of this novel 110%, instead of rushing through it just to meet the demands of your fans. The world now has a treasured novel to savor for years to come.
