Nora Robert’s will always have a soft spot in everyone’s hearts, deservedly. She writes about relatable, lovable characters that the reader can root for. This story is no exception. Morgan grew up an army brat and wants to make her identity in a place where she can finally put down roots. But when she meets a dangerous new person, her goals are shattered and she must fight for her life. Through her family and new friends’ support, she must take back her identity goals, freedoms, and hopefully save her life and future in the process. A roller coaster ride, my heart leaped and swelled as it does with all of Nora Robert’s books. The ending was super satisfying and made me melt. Thank you Nora Roberts for another journey of love. Thank you St. Martin’s Press for this opportunity with a pre-publication copy (ARC) in exchange for my honest review. #noraroberts #NetGalley

********** COMING MAY 23, 2023 ***********
I was so excited to read Nora Roberts newest thriller, Identity. The subject matter is torn from today's headlines; using the web requires us to protect ourselves from identity theft. Yet scammers find ways to get in, which is the basis of this story. Romantic suspense, thrills, family bonds, and starting over are all themes woven into the fabric of "Identity". The characters are , villain aside, people you would like to be friends with in real life. The slow build romance also works the same with the mystery- suspense, ratcheting up the tension until you cannot take anymore---then the pace flies! Nora Roberts always delivers a heart felt romance alongside the thrills. Don't miss this!
Thank you #NetGalley , #St,Martin's Press, and Nora Roberts for sending me the digital book to read and voluntarily review. I was so excited to get it!

Wow! I loved this book! It’s a mix of suspense, romance, and intrigue. I loved all the characters and they play their parts so well. Morgan, the main character, was very lovable and you couldn’t help wanting the best for her. Ms Roberts ratchets up the suspense by providing updates about the “bad guy” and the FBI barely missing him and then closing in on him. I was so pleased to read this book as I’ve taken a break for a couple years from this author. I wasn’t too keen on the direction of her romances. I recommend this book to anyone who likes suspense with a little romance thrown in. I received an arc of this book from NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions expressed are my own.

Long time Nora Roberts fans will love this book. Great story. Those new to reading her may have mixed feelings. It starts well and draws the reader in, however it may lag a bit in the middle for some. I say to those, keep reading the final chapters are fabulous.

If you love Nora Roberts you will love this book. Although there is romance in the story,it is also a thriller with lots of suspense. Morgan Albright is a strong female main character who I found myself cheering for. After a tragedy in her life that is very current with todays society, she finds herself broke, homeless, and back home living with her mom and grand mother starting over. Luckily she finds a great job and a new love but unfortunately, the past catches up to her. If you love Nora Roberts, you will want to add this to your reading list.

Identity was a decent romance/suspense book. It dragged and was bogged down with details that didn't matter to the overall story. I found myself wondering why so many people rave over Nora Roberts as I read this. For the most part it kept my attention. In part three the plot finally started moving with only a few slow points. The premise was good, the evil antagonist was a great bad guy, very devious. Morgan, the main character, was okay but the romance seemed forced into the narrative. Thank you to Net Galley, Nora Roberts, and St. Martin's press for the ARC.

Thank you St. Martens press for this ARC.

I have read many of NRs books. And this one did not disappoint.

Independent strong main character, check. Strong female support system, check. Bonus for a tenacious grandmother figure. Morgan is a likeable and compelling main character. Very charismatic, and no nonsense. The love interest is slow burn. I tried to call the love interest early on and NR surprised me.

This book manages to be heartbreaking, and heartwarming at the same time. Great big romance and thriller. The villains arc works great to keep up the tension, but also as a foil for Morgan.

As spicy as most NR, so a mild spice level. But romance is believable and strong. Would recommend.

Staying up into the wee hours of the morning to read “just one more chapter” is always, to me, the sign of a good book. I not only needed one more chapter of IDENTITY, I needed to finish the story.

Readers will find all the great elements we have come to expect from Nora Roberts from solid character development and plot surprises to and sweeping storytelling and swoony romance. I found some parts to be overly drawn out and a couple characters felt more like caricatures. But, overall, IDENTITY is another hit from a favorite author. It was a pleasure to receive a copy for review via NetGalley.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ebook for my honest review.
As always, Nora Roberts writes an incredible story. Her thrillers are amazing and this one is my favorite of hers so far. Absolutely excellent with so many twists and keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time! Highly recommend to all thriller lovers.

Nora Roberts has done it again! She draws me in right away, it basically follows her usual formula, but this was a new, interesting premise. Morgan is a great heroine, loved to see her finding/growing roots. I love how the characters develop, frowns, family & the dog! Perfect way to spend a weekend reading. Many thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

I enjoy most of Nora’s books. Full disclosure this one was a little slow going in the beginning for me and I had trouble getting into the choppy sentences structure so I put it away for a few days but glad I picked it back up. The characters just work. The story was engaging and had all the feels - everything you love in a Nora Roberts book.

I was so excited to read this one. Nora Roberts writes romantic suspense like no other. As Roberts’s fans would expect-the characters are what make this story so compelling. Morgan is a tough, intelligent and hardworking heroine and Miles is a stoic workaholic. The spark between them slowly builds into a full blown romance. I love the side characters from the Nash ladies to the Jameson family. And the dialogue propels the reader through the pages, making it impossible to put the book down. The theme of this tale is in its name, Identity. Robert’s examines individuals defining oneself and how family, loss and love are all a part of that identity. Such a satisfying read!
Thank you to St.Martin’s Press for the opportunity to read an advanced e-galley, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Oh my goodness, this book was one I could not put down! It has the perfect combination of suspense, romance and thrilling elements that will keep the reader hooked and on the edge of their seat from the first page until the last. Nora Roberts never disappoints!

Thank you to net galley for the arc in exchange for an honest review!

5 stars! I love Nora Roberts! She has been one of my favorite authors for years and this book did not disappoint!
There is so much going on in this book with romance, suspense, family dynamics, independence, and wit.
Morgan grew up as a military brat and wanted to establish some roots. She moved to Baltimore, MD and started her goals and building a life there. Then the unthinkable happened.
A broken Morgan moves to Vermont to live with her mom and grandmother. She meets the semi grouchy Miles and his family all while trying to forget about what happened in Baltimore.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I don’t know about you, but I find writing reviews for books I absolutely loved the hardest. It’s always hard to put into words the feelings that a book brings out in you.

Going into this book you know what’s going to happen at the beginning (if you read the synopsis!). It didn’t make what happened any less painful for me to read!

Can we just talk about Morgan’s resilience? I loved seeing her strength from the beginning but also seeing her realize it’s okay to lean on others in the hard (and not so hard) times. I actually really liked Miles for her, but I will say I wish there was a little more between them before their relationship started. It seemed a little 0-60. But once they got together, I liked them together.

As always, I loved the family side of this. In Nora’s more recent books, I feel like family is such a big piece of it and I don’t think anyone writes a Grandma quite like she does. Seeing Morgan’s relationship grow with her grandma and mom was really special. And let’s be honest, I loved Miles family and would stories about his siblings!

I’m sad this one doesn’t release to the world until May. (And then having to wait a whole year for the paperback!) I hope others enjoy it as much as I did!

For years I have been a Nora Robert’s fan. However this book just did not seem to have a smooth flow to it. The story premise was a good one, but it became very predictable in every aspect of the plot. The characters were not as well developed as most of her other books which made the entire story less plausible. I felt like I had to work to finish the book instead of the usual “isn’t there more.” Also I did not like the mother and grandmother referred so abstractly as “the ladies”; it seemed removed from the caring, warm family relationship I thought the author was trying to portray. Thank you to Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

This is my first book I have read by this author and it will not be my last.Thank you to #NetGalley and #StMartinsPress for the opportunity to read this eARC before the publication date of May 23,2023.I loved this book and it had me reeled in until the very end.It was the perfect blend of suspense and romace.

Morgan Albright is tired of moving around so when she gets the opportunity to plant roots, she takes it. She works hard at two jobs to build the life that she has always wanted. Morgan has her plans and knows her goal and what she has to do to get there. Life is going well until he walks into the bar where she is a bartender.

A serial killer who targets blonde women with slim builds and androgynous names so he can take their bank accounts and identity before taking their life selects Morgan as his next victim.

The book is divided into three parts. It's well written and an excellent, empowering story about how resilient women can be. Featuring three generations, this story will grab at your heart and pull you along.

As usual, Nora Roberts builds a world and sucks you in. You want to live in that world and have all the characters (except the bad guys) as friends. While I know it won't happen because this one was written as a stand-alone, I do wish she would write the stories of some of the side characters.

This story was positively amazing! I love reading any of Nora’s books since she enchants her reader from the beginning I of the book until the end. This story will slowly pull you in and never let you go. you will experience every possible emotion and never want to put it down. Anytime I read a book from Nora, I’m absolutely blown away by her characters!

I really enjoyed this book. I always have enjoyed Nora Roberts and she didn't disappoint. I would definitely recommend this book.
