Losing David
was an extraordinary story about a man, an actor, who has been coached and
insinuated into the Harmony family in order to avoid misappropriation of
inheritance funds by the bad guy (Theodore Pack)..
There were times that David was
really David, then he turned into the actor, Nick Downing, based only upon who
he said he was. It was hard for me to
believe he was at first David, then Nick, but the change was so convincing I started
questioning how that switch could be, even though I read the true story from
the beginning.
Nick/David is a fun character who
teases everybody in the story and chameleon-like, becomes hateful and rude then
charming and cute, based on how he needed to manipulate the people he was hired
to convince of David’s reality.
Until the very ending I had a
question in my mind, which was eventually straightened up and made the story
click together.
The foil in the story, Megan
Mulrennon, charmed into loving Nick whether he claimed that day to be David or
himself, was torn through the entire story about her part in his life. She
realizes, to her the men are one in the same while everybody else knows he/they
are lying about one or the other. After being angry at the imposter(s) for
leading her on, Megan had to find enough positive things about them both that
it didn’t matter who the changling was. She more or less looked for a good
reason to believe in them both.
It’s an unusual and pretty exciting
story, especially for a romance, but you can identify with all of the
characters as they show their stripes one by one.
