This wasn't my favorite Nora Roberts book at all. It started out promising, but the middle of the story was a lot of boring detail about Morgan's new life. I wanted to like Miles, but he was really just an abrasive personality. The "proposal" was just awful. I don't buy that someone like Morgan would have fallen for a miserable brood like Miles. I think the storyline had the potential for a lot more action and suspense with Gavin, but instead, it was just a whole lot of surface level filler that ended with one chapter of suspense.

I have mixed feelings on this one. I'm not a big serial killer fan, but I would recommend for people who were and liked light romance books. I liked the characters and the idea but the writing style let me down. I listened to this on audio book and I felt like the characters often had boring, robotic conversations and the plot moved really slow. And yet, I read the whole thing. So 3 or 3.5*

First time I’ve read a Nora Roberts thriller - I’ve read plenty of JD Robb books - and in Identity I got what I expected - a thriller with romance thrown in. Morgan Albright - building a life in Baltimore, works two jobs - owns a home - rents out a room to a friend. Life is good - until Nina is murdered - and the FBI comes to tell Morgan that she was the intended victim. The killer was a guy posing as an itinerant tech consultant in town for a few months. He stole Morgan’s identity - took out loans and ran up credit card debt in her name - and then killed her friend instead of her.
Morgan moves to Vermont to live with her mother and grandmother - gets a job managing a bar at a family owned resort - falls in love with one of the sons - gets updates from the FBI on the guy who killed Nina. The FBI is tracking him - and he is becoming unraveled - obsessed with getting his revenge on Morgan for not letting him kill her.
The story line moves nicely - fairly easy to skip the gushy parts - and the ending was a bit “tame” for me - although I personally could not have built more tension into the ending.
