This was a fantastic story! I just love reading this author. The story was well written and engrossing. I would highly recommend this author and book!

This book is in this readers opinion Nora Roberts best book ever!!!!! Nora Roberts has a huge collection of books under her belt but this one is my favorite standalone by her by far!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It had been a while since I had read a Nora Roberts romantic suspense novel and I was not disappointed. It was unusual to know from the start who the bad guy is, but the plot and characters kept me turning the pages. I really loved the family dynamic between Morgan, her mother, and grandmother, as well as how Morgan fit right in with the Jameson clan. The romance between Miles and Morgan was great and believable. This story was more than a thriller and also told a great story about having roots and what it means to make a home and community for oneself. I'm glad I revisited Nora Roberts as an author and will definitely check out more of her novels.

While I enjoyed this book, I kept getting confused on Morgan being Eve Dallas. She was written SO much like her that it was really hard to separate the two at times. I feel like it was a bit drawn out as well.

I've been reading Nora Roberts books for over 20 years. I'm always worried the latest read won't be as good as others in the past, but they keep meeting my expectations. I'll definitely recommend this to fans of her work.

This was my first Nora Roberts book and I am so excited for more! The story was well plotted and intriguing. My book club selected this as a bonus newer release discussion and it made for an excellent discussion!

This was what I expected from a Nora Roberts title—great storytelling, characters that feel like friends, and just enough suspense to keep you turning the pages. We have all heard stories about dating the wrong people, but this guy takes the cake. I will definitely recommend this to my family and friends.

Identity by Nora Roberts
.
Don’t be fooled by how peaceful looking this cover is, this book is a thriller! And it is a very suspenseful thriller because it is about identity theft!
.
Morgan has her life all together, until her identity is stolen and everything is taken from her. Including her best friend.
.
What I liked:
-I started the audio and heard January Jones was the narrator and just settled in because she is a FANTASTIC narrator, my very favorite!
-As soon as the identity theft started playing out my heart dropped. I think what was so scary about this book was how realistic that part felt. I was very panicky my first day reading it. I kept having to remind myself that I have no money and am a terrible target (you’ll be ok Stacia, they want money not books).
-I loved, loved, loved Morgan’s mom and grandma. They were such sweet and awesome ladies!
-Everyone who worked at the resort was awesome too! Which includes the Jameson family, I loved their family dinners.
-The way the whole ending played out was perfect and I was cheering for Morgan.

4.5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 This book really surprised me! This was my first Nora Roberts book, I usually read her books she writes under J.D. Robb (which I LOVE), but I will need to read more under her own name now too!

I’m always raving about Nora Roberts books because she is just such a master storyteller to me. Her characters and plots are so perfectly crafted. And she’s really been at the top of her game the past few years with her contemporary fiction novels!

Identity, which pubbed last May, was the perfect mix of women’s fiction, domestic thriller, and romance. The way that Roberts mixes genres is one of the things I always love about her books. In this one, our main character Morgan is working to rebuild her life after being betrayed. She finds a new chance at life and love when she returns to her hometown in Vermont.

The relationships Morgan has with her mom and grandma were one of my favorite parts of Identity. Roberts writes such beautifully complex family relationships and friendships, with all the ups and downs that come from loving someone.

I really liked this book a lot. a few people mentioned not loving the pov of the killer, but honestly, it felt fine to me. very old school and very twisty turny. I loved the FMC so much, although I couldn't quite figure out why she was so eager to leave home if her mom and grandma were so cool.

Wow. What more can you ask for in a book? Family, friends, romance, a cute dog and don't forget the serial killer! I did not read any reviews or the blurb on this book, so, imagine my surprise...reading a what I thought was a cute romance and BOOM! Serial killer.
The book is long, but I honestly enjoyed all the intricate details of bartending, getting to know each character very well and the whole ride of emotions this book brought out.
Thanks to netgalley, the publisher and author for the chance to read this advanced copy.

The romantic suspense books by Nora Roberts are always a must-read for me. This one was no exception. It had all the thrill, mystery, and suspense I could want but also the sweetness of the relationship between Morgan and Miles. It also was very modern dealing with the very real problem of identity theft. This was a great one!

I absolutely love Nora Roberts books! This one is no exception! This romantic suspense pulled me in from the first page!

Morgan was happily living her life working 2 jobs, saving to start her own business when she meets a hunky IT guy (Luke) at the bar where she was working. Little does she know her world is going to be turned upside down! He is a scam artist who steals identities and then kills that person. But he made a mistake and killed Morgan's best friend/roommate instead of her. With losing everything she moves home to live with her mom and grandmother. She gets a new job as a hospitality manager, life is good..until Luke finds her again!

This book has lots of twists and turns, romance thrown in there. I really enjoyed everything about this book…there were a few slow spots for me but it didn't take away from my love of this book. I loved the Jameson family and how they rallied to protect Morgan (even though she had not worked there long). The Nash ladies were fabulous too! I loved how their bond continued to grow throughout the book.

I felt so sorry for Morgan with losing her best friend, having to sell her house and everything else. But I really admire her perseverance and how she built her life back up even better than before (with the exception of not having Nina in her life).

I love that Luke got what was coming to him. How she got under his skin and made him mess up (and gain all the weight). Karma is a wonderful thing!

Thank you to @netgalley, @stmartinspress for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

When you first start reading, you would automatically think Morgan Albright has found love at first meet. She meets Luke, and it would seem he is perfect. But he is evil. He preys on Morgan's life, nearly destroying everything she has worked so hard for. Morgan has to flee towards her mother and grandmother, hoping she wouldn't be found. In all the evilness, she finds herself in love. Will Luke destroy that as well?

Morgan’s life is destroyed when a serial killer murders her best friend and steals her identity. She moves back in with her family and starts rebuilding her life as well as she can. But she’s not out of danger yet – for it was she who Rozwell had intended to be his victim, and he’s not done with her yet.

Of Nora Roberts’s many author hats, I like her romantic suspense books best. They are quite formulaic, I will admit. There is a heroine whose life is destroyed by some awful villain, who returns to a safe place and starts rebuilding things and meets a hero even, but the villain is fixated on her and comes after her in the end to try and destroy her once and for all – and of course they always fail. Only the details vary. But it’s all so very soothing that I never mind.

Here the heroine is Morgan, a bartender, and the villain an identity-stealing serial killer. We have all the usual suspects – characters who are good at their jobs, close knit families, a hero who falls hard and fast. I enjoyed getting to know the small town and the resort that Morgan transplants herself to, and the Nash women are a delight. The villain is appropriately dastardly, and Nina’s death hits hard.

However, I did think that the relationship between Miles and Morgan comes a bit out of nowhere, and I would have like to see it developed more over the course of the book. The previously fragmented relationship between Audrey and Morgan probably should have been discussed earlier on, as it otherwise seemed to pop up out of nowhere. And even I became a little bored of the glowing detail in which we see Morgan craft new drinks and work on house improvement projects. Also, what on earth was Opal’s problem?

Nora Roberts is so easy to love. Nora Roberts is so easy to read. Identity is very on brand in this regard and I loved it. I was snatched up at the beginning and couldn't put this book down. The characters were fantastic, I wanted to know the ending. It was great. The setting was lovely!

This book kept me on the edge of my seat. Had me cringing at the main character and rooting for her all at the same time. Worth the read.

My first Nora Roberts… and I enjoyed it! Can’t believe it took so long for me to read one of her books. The suspense had me… I kept thinking the killer was going to show up at every turn. There was just enough to keep me guessing and on my toes. Loved Morgan’s character and her relationship with “her girls” — we love a multigenerational family. Also loved the romance. Romance thriller done right! Kind of guessed the end but it’s alright!

Morgan was such a strong character with all she endured. The resort setting was great and the family the perfect employers. A good thriller that will keep you turning the pages with suspense as to how the killer will be caught. Another winner by Roberts.

I loved this story of an identity theft victim who took control of her life, started over, found love then finally got justice for the crimes committed against her. I enjoyed the characters and the romance.
