The #1 New York Times bestselling author of You Betrayed Me delivers a twisty, page-turning novel of twin sisters and a dark family history . . .

Sisters share a bondâ??twins especially. For Maggie McCrae and Mary Theresa, that link once allowed them to communicate no matter how much distance separated them. But there were differences between them too.

Maggie has always been the paler, quieter version of her wild and glamorous sister. Mary Theresa, adopting the name Marquise, has become a TV star, while Maggie is building a new life in small-town Idaho after her husband's death, and wrangling a resentful teenage daughter. But when Mary Theresa disappears, their connection reignites, and Maggie knows with certainty that her twin is in real danger.

Thane Walker, the man Maggie loved until Mary Theresa lured him away, is her best hope of learning the truthâ??if Maggie can bring herself to trust him. But the deeper she digs, unraveling the layers of her sister's life, the more she discovers about her own complicated past. A legacy of deceit and betrayal has brought Maggie within a hair's breadth of a killerâ??one intent on revenge at any price . . .

I can't get enough of Lisa Jackson. This was another one that you couldn't put down. ( )

DNF just to slow and boring

I am a Lisa Jackson fan. I think she, most of the time, writes half decent books, with lots of twists and turns, excellent character development and usually, a few hot love scenes. Twice Kissed didn’t disappoint me. I really enjoyed the characters. Thane, and Maggie had tons of chemistry. I laughed at Maggie’s daughter and her teenage attitude. I think Marquise/Mary Theresa got what she deserved. What a deceitful woman. Overall a satisfying read! ( )

Of all the books I've read, Twice Kissed is one of the more perverse and twisted. A woman is wronged by her twin in the most heinous of ways repeatedly throughout the story and yet never seeks justice. The bond of sisters is great, but if my sister seduced my man by pretending to be me and getting pregnant in the process... Let's just say there's a fine line between families and funerals. The wrongs were never justified leaving me very irritated to the last page. This book is mildly entertaining and wildly disturbing with tales of incest, suicide, scandal and the ultimate betrayal.

When crime writer Maggie McCrae's identical twin goes missing, the single mom joins forces with ex-boyfriend Thane Walker to track down her glamorous sister Marquise, a TV presenter. Battling unresolved feelings for first her love Thane – the man who broke her heart after he married and divorced her sister – Maggie digs through the mess of her twin's personal life, discovering death, suicide, and an unexpected murderer lying in wait. Twice Kissed is a good poolside read from the backlist of New York Times–bestselling author Lisa Jackson. Slightly dated, with a late-90s focus on politically correct feminism, the romantic thriller will placate fans waiting for Jackson’s latest novel Malice to hit shelves in April. ( )

Book description
When glamorous TV Star Marquise Walker vanishes from her lavish Denver estate without a trace, her identical twin, Maggie Macrae, leaves her home in the Northwest to search for her. With the police indifferent and cryptic suicide note setting up a dreadful possibility, she plunges into a seething world of scandal, intrigue, and illicit desire...and uncovers secret after shocking secret about the sister she thought she knew...

But of all the men who loved and hated Marquise Walker, it is her wickedly handsome ex-husband, Thane Walker, who puts Maggie at greatest risk. Once, she desired him with all the wild, uncontrollable hunger of youth; now, he is the man she dares not trust-a man who could be a murderer. But she underestimates Thane's fierce determination...and his explosive sensuality. Soon he is drawing Maggie back into his dangerous, passionate embrace, where she is vulnerable again-and where one final, shattering truth could destroy her chance for happiness forever...
