Morgan Albright is a woman with a plan. She works two jobs, her best friend is her roommate, and it’s only a matter of time until she has enough money to open up her own bar. Things are going well. One night, while working at the bar, a man walks and strikes up a conversation. He’s good looking, nice, and Morgan thinks he could be fun. But he is anything but nice, and her well laid out plans are about to go south. I love Nora Roberts. Time and time again, her story line captures my full attention and I’m staying up into the wee hours for just one more chapter.

This book kept me anticipating the bad guys next move with each chapter. The author set the story up so well in the beginning and did a great job of tying suspense, humor, family relationships, and romance all into one great book! The characters were well developed and I could picture each place described as if I were there. Another great Nora Roberts read! #IdentitybyNoraRoberts #NetGalley

Nora Roberts is back with the romantic, suspenseful, easy reading that I love her for. She was one of my go-to authors for comfort reading back in my 20's, when my mom, sister, and I would pass around her trilogies, and I loved reading her work again. Identity is the story of a woman trying to rebuild her life after a horrific crime, and the good guys and very bad guys along the way. I loved the characters, setting, and pacing of this novel, and look forward to sharing this Nora book with my mom and sister once again. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book!

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have only read 1 or 2 other books by Ms. Nora Roberts and couldn't even tell you what they were about. Well! Let me tell you, I will not soon forget this book!!! This was a gut wrenching , thrilling, romance story (though maybe a bit quick) that had my attention from the start and keep me wanting to read non-stop!
A little summary to wet your whistle, this story is basically about identity fraud and how quickly it spirals into a life changing, exhausting and devastating situation whirling out of control. We follow our MC , Morgan as she tries to piece her life back together after this personal attack. Watch out people! This one will rock your socks off!

I picked this up thinking it was a suspense/thriller but it had a lot more romance and was more rooted in Morgan’s relationships with family and friends. There is a creepiness factor when you think about identity theft and how personal safety can be easily breached. I wish this had more balance with the suspense, and the ending felt a little rushed. It was a slower paced book for me but I can this being well liked by those who don’t enjoy the intensity of a traditional thriller.

Nora Roberts still delivers after all these years! My favorites are the trilogies with a magical focus, and I hadn't read one of her romantic suspense in quite a while. This one had a heroine you'd like to root for and a bad guy to make you cringe. I liked the setting in small town Vermont, although I didn't really feel a connection with a few of the more main characters. (The grandmas in this one, though, were wise and solid as rocks!)

Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for the complimentary review copy of this title.

Identity by Nora Roberts is one of the first books of hers I have read in awhile and I look forward to reading more. It made me remember why I loved her books in the past.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the opportunity to read this ARC.

As usual, Nora Roberts knocked it out of the park. This novel felt a little darker than her usual to start off, but ultimately it had the same heart, growth, and interrelationships that readers know and love. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Unfortunately while Morgan is putting her life back together her past catch’s up. Will the people in Morgan’s new life be able to save her,? Will Morgan finally get to find true love and live happily ever after? Well, you will have to read the book to find out!

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

I’ve only started reading Nora Roberts in the past few years, but cannot get enough of her romantic suspense.

What I Liked:

The cover! SO eye-catching!

The fact that a man was one of the voices of the book. Usually the ones I’ve read, the man is a side character- whether it’s a bad guy or the love interest. But I liked this angle. *There may be other books that she let a man have a voice in the chapters, essentially being a main character, that I am not aware of.*

Morgan. Strong. Determined. Gutsy. Ready to fight for her peace of mind. You go girl.



Bottom line: You really can’t go wrong with Nora Roberts. Be sure and grab this book.

I haven't read a Nora Roberts book in quite a while, and I was quickly reminded what a fantastic storyteller she is! Morgan is a hard worker taking on two jobs to get ahead. She hasn't taken the time to have a relationship, that is until a stranger comes into the bar she works at and starts showing an interest. He seems like a nice guy until her world starts to unravel and it all goes back to her association with him. Feeling as if she has no choice, she goes back home to live with her grandmother and mother. Unfortunately, her troubles catch up to her again. This time she has her family and her work family to help get her through. Plenty of twists and turns in this story right up to the end. Throw in some romance and you have a definite page turner! I received an ARC from Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Sadly, I think whatever it was that drew me to Nora's stories has changed. This book was good in its own right, however, having read many of Nora's other works, I find this book lacking. Characters weren't as engaging as previous books.

Nora Roberts is a long time favorite. It had been awhile since I read a book by her. I’m so glad I did.

I hadn’t read a Nora Roberts book in a long time and while reading this book I wondered to myself why I stopped. Identity was a captivating romantic suspense thriller with well-developed characters and a great twist. I am definitely back on the Nora Roberts train!

I want to thank NetGalley, Nora Roberts and St. Martin's Press for the e-ARC of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are honest, my own and left voluntarily.

I’ve never read a romance suspense like this one. It was unputdownable. Morgan was brave and I strive to be like her.

Nora Roberts never disappoints!

I loved Morgan and her resilience and authenticity. I became invested in her journey early in the novel and grew to care about her and enjoyed her journey and determination.. Her mother and grandmother are wonderful side characters and contribute so much to the family dynamic of the storyline.

Things go sideways early on when a cold-blooded man crosses her path and creates chaos. We learn who the killer is early on, but having the whodunit solved doesn't take away the suspense one bit. It's a thrilling ride from page one til the very end.

Hot take: I do not like romantic suspense thrillers. The thriller part was great, but the last thing I want is a love story involved. The plot and characters were well developed.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a copy to honestly review.

This book was long but a good thriller. It throws you off at the beginning but then ut gets going after the first few chapters. I did think the ending was pretty anti climatic and could have contained more to finish out thr book.
