Identity: A Novel

What a ride! Oh, my heart went out to Morgan! She was charmed by the wrong man and her entire life was upended as a result. I was thoroughly captivated by this intense, intriguing story. I loved that she was able to find support with her mother and grandmother, and I especially appreciated the gentle, slow romance she had with Miles. This book is a real eye-opener about how little personal privacy we have in the internet age. The author did a fantastic job of showing just how precarious a person's identity is and how easy it would be for a nefarious person to completely ruin someone's life. Still, the road leads to a solid, satisfying HEA for Morgan and Miles, and I loved the way Nina was included in the final scenes. I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves romantic suspense. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I love the book in general, but her research leave something to be desired. Long ago she said in a book that the heroine drove from the "Klamath mountains" she drove "Route 5", pumped her own gas, & went to a NYC style hot dance club in Portland. Not called Klamath mountains, it's I-5, we were one of the few states that could not pump our own gas, & Portland isn't that chic. But that was in the distant past. My research issue in this book is the section where Rowell is hiding out in Oregon & the FBI is discussing his trail. They point out that he could have flown into/out of the "major airport" in Salem. Salem has ONE very minor commercial airline that offers cheap flights in small planes. The only two "big airports" in Oregon are Portland & Eugene. A quick search should have told her that. I know it's just a story but to quote Deadpool, That's just lazy writing " But the book is still very good & keeps your interest going.

Identity has a little bit of everything- mystery, suspense, romance and is a bit of a thriller. What's interesting to me is that things some other reviewers took issue with were exactly the things I found so fascinating with this one. Identity got a little dark in some places, but that was perfectly balanced with some of the lighthearted sections. I really enjoyed the love interest and the way he interacted at times with Morgan. Really happy to be back in a Nora Roberts.
