Identity by Nora Roberts

 Identity by Nora Roberts

 

 Nora Roberts has a backlist of stories a mile long and then some! She also writes under the name JD Robb for her "In Death" series which unfortunately I don't care to read. But Ms. Roberts' stand-alone contemporary suspense are more my style and I've read quite a number of them over the years. This title, Identity, was a breath of fresh air juxtaposed with my crime fiction thriller books, which is my favorite genre but can get stressful at times. Sometimes I just want a bit of romance and an easy-going suspense plot.

In this one, Morgan-- an Army brat who wants to settle down and get on with life-- takes up a career of bartending near Baltimore MD. But after being swept up with a flirty customer supposedly named Luke, Morgan's life is in turmoil, but also danger. Luke has killed her friend Nina when he really wanted to target Morgan. The FBI warns Morgan of how diabolical the "Luke" person is and she flees to Vermont to be with her mother and grandma. She meets a new love interest, the steady and safe Miles, but she has to look out for Luke, who may be coming after her soon.

Fans of Nora Roberts will enjoy this one and if you haven't read one of her books before, a stand-alone such as this one will appeal to readers of romantic suspense, women's fiction, and genre fiction. Recommended!
