About this ebook
The #1 New York Times-bestselling author's terrifying next thriller about one man's ice-cold malice, and one woman's fight to reclaim her life.
Former Army brat Morgan Albright has finally planted roots in a friendly neighborhood near Baltimore. Her friend and roommate Nina helps her make the mortgage payments, as does Morgan's job as a bartender. But after she and Nina host their first dinner party—attended by Luke, the flirtatious IT guy who'd been chatting her up at the bar—her carefully built world is shattered. The back door glass is broken, cash and jewelry are missing, her car is gone, and Nina lies dead on the floor.
Soon, a horrific truth emerges: It was Morgan who let the monster in. "Luke" is actually a cold-hearted con artist named Gavin who targets a particular type of woman, steals her assets and identity, and then commits his ultimate goal: murder.
What the FBI tells Morgan is beyond chilling. Nina wasn't his type. Morgan is. Nina was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. And Morgan's nightmare is just beginning. Soon she has no choice but to flee to her mother's home in Vermont. While she struggles to build something new, she meets another man, Miles Jameson. He isn't flashy or flirtatious, and his family business has deep roots in town. But Gavin is still out there hunting new victims, and he hasn't forgotten the one who got away.

Good read. Has a little bit of everything.. romance, humor, murder, etc. I love reading about strong female characters and Morgan is surely one! And a satisfyingly happy ending! My favorite!

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.

4.5* Nora Roberts is such a fantastic writer, no matter the genre. I love her romance novels, whether contemporary or supernatural or somewhere in between, but I also really enjoy her romantic suspense/thrillers. And Identity tops that list. It was an engaging, suspenseful, thrilling read. This story held me captive and I couldn't put it down. Morgan went through so much, it was hard to imagine, but also not. It's scary how something like this could happen to a person.
