Nora Roberts is one of my top authors, a comfort read when nothing else is capturing my attention. For me, this book missed that mark. I didn't feel connected to the main character, and the multi character storyline kind of felt disjointed to me. I still look forward to the next book, and am likely going to revisit old favorites!

Thanks to NetGalley for this early read. While enjoyable I’m not sure why this book wasn’t my favorite. I think I was able to predict what would happen and the relationship between Morgan and Miles didn’t hook me quite like I normally love. I think I wanted a little more depth. Which is why it also seemed to take me forever to read.

Morgan is going through life just fine until a man she was casually seeing steals her identity and kills a friend. Her life is turned upside down. aRC from NetGalley

I really liked this one. It wasn’t my favorite of hers but I bought a copy of the digital as well as the audio

Another wonderful read from Nora Roberts. Nora never disappoints and I found this book to be one of her best. An exciting plot filled with mystery, suspense and eerie, other-worldly scenario set in an historic mansion on the coast of Maine. The heroine finds a legacy she never suspected she could claim as she meets her father's estranged relatives and their closest friends, she moves into the family home. Learning to live with its ghostly inhabitants, she realizes that this is going to be a far bigger challenge than she had assumed. Soon, the curse of the past begins to wreak its revenge. Bolsted by her best friend, she finds the strength to stand up to the long-dead woman who has threatened generations of the women in her family. Suffice it to say that this first volume of the trilogy leaves the reader with a harrowing and most tantilizing cliff-hanger. Highly recommended. I can't wait for volume two!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advance copy of Identity by Nora Roberts in exchange for my honest review and opinion. I was so excited to read this as I am a huge Nora Roberts fan. I absolutely loved this book. I loved how it had lots of different aspects - romance, some mystery and a few twists and turns. No matter what she writes it is always a winner!

I always enjoy Nora Roberts book, this one especially so. The relationship between the women felt so sweet and genuine. The story grabs you from the start!

I love Nora Roberts! Her books bring such a nostalgic vibe for me. This is a perfect read to lounge and enjoy by a warm fire or the beach - either or. It gives off sweet small town vibes but yet a nice thriller kick. Our main character has been the victim of identity theft from a man she befriended at the bar. Unbeknown to her, he is a serial killer who targets women with high savings. On the night he plans to kill her, he kills her roommate Nina instead. Left with no choice, she returns back home to rebuild her identity and monetary losses.

I loved that Nora included the POV of the serial killer. I feel like most authors don't change the tone for them. I think of other authors such as Stephen King who do a phenomenal job at showcasing this. Roberts nailed that POV! This had such a creep factor vibe to it because of it.

This book kind of resembled her previous book (strong FMC with a stalker MMC). So it almost felt repetitive for myself but didn't take away from the story itself. Overall, will continue to enjoy any Roberts release!

The novel explores the horrors of identity theft and the complications that follow. The protagonist, Morgan, is resilient and authentic, gaining interest from the start. However, a serial killer disrupts her life, creating chaos. The story is a perfect blend of fluff and suspense, with great characterization and a satisfying ending. The narrator, January LaVoy, is a 5-star spectacular, and the 437-page book is recommended for a series.

Thank you to Netgalley for this copy for an honest review.

I received this book to read from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I am a fan of Nora Roberts but it's been many many years since I've read anything by her. When I saw her name I instantly requested the book. I know what kind of author Nora Roberts is but by the time I read the book I had no idea what it was about. Instead of looking for info I just started reading.

I was drawn in immediately. I could not put this book down. I was talking to my husband and middle two (adult) sons about this book. Obsessively almost. They were happy to listen and agreed it sounded like it was going to be a great read.

There were some parts that I just couldn't ... get into or... believe and that's why I took a star off on the rating. Of course it's fiction and shouldn't have to be 100% accurate or perfect regarding what happens when your identity is stolen but there was enough that I almost wanted to roll my eyes at times. I also didn't like Miles's reactions or what he said sometimes. It just irked me. He was such a great guy but some of the things he did and said were like red flags and I almost expected a twist in the story out of it. Over all, a great book and I would highly recommend it to others.

As a person who hasn't;t read a Nora Roberts book in years. I was so in love with this book. It's like nothing I havw ever read by Nora Roberts. I loved every minute of it. I told my friends, my coworkers, fellow readers, and anyone else I xcould about this book. You must read it. Plan to be on the edge of your seat.

Thank you Net Galley for a copy of Identity. This was a thrilling ride and I loved every minute of it! Very character driven, this book left me immersed in the story. Highly recommend!

Words can’t describe how much i loved this Nora Roberts book! I could not help but be swept away with these characters and their story.

I voluntarily reviewed this book.

4.5 stars! Big thanks to St. Martin's Press via Netgalley for the early copy to read & review which is now no longer early as this book has been out for months.... WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO READ THIS!?!?

I enjoyed this story a lot. It mixes thrill, suspense, mystery with a dash of romance and family drama (but not really 'drama' actually, more like family dynamics & relationships). Nora Roberts is incredibly descriptive which I loved. I felt like I was right there in the scenes with Morgan. I'm not sure how large or small the Vermont town is really but it sure felt a lot like a small town with the descriptions of the close-knit family-run businesses and relationships. Small Town is a favorite trope/ genre so I adored this! The story didn't ever drag (even though it is on the longer side of what I usually read) and felt paced well between the 'before' and 'after' and the parts that showed the FBI and Gavin's movements.

In the beginning I didn't really feel like Luke/ Gavin's character was fleshed out enough but later realized that was probably by design. He is meant to be this guy always on the run and always acting as someone else; using his charm in whatever way necessary to gain trust from his current 'mark.' Later chapters really bring his true self to light. I am a BIG Criminal Minds fan so seeing the glimpses at his psyche and how it progressed from his totally-in-control to completely-off-the-rails mindset was a joy.

The romance was super sweet (not spicy, snore, lol) and the way Miles wanted to protect Morgan at every chance turned my heart to mush. And I mean.....Howl....what a gooood boi he is!

The one thing I cannot get over is Morgan's character's use of "my ladies" when referring to her Mom & Gram. Like WHY. I can't stand it. But other than a quick eye roll each time (and it is a LOT of times) it didn't take me out of the story.

I want to start this by saying I love Nora Roberts. But I didn’t love this book. It was just okay. It took me a long time to finish it, I kept stopping and coming back to it a chapter at a time. They way they speak to each other seemed off, clipped sentences, not how anyone I know speaks. It made it hard to connect to any of the characters.

Morgan Albright has a life plan and goals beyond her two jobs. When a man chats her up while she is tending bar, Luke seems harmless. Little does Morgan know, but her life is about to change. When tragedy strikes, leaving her roommate Nina dead and her house in shambles, Morgan has no choice but to go home to her mother and grandmother in Vermont. Struggling to get her footing, Morgan starts to work for the Jamesons at their resort. When their son Miles catches Morgan's eye, will her chance to rebuild her life go up in smoke?

I liked some of the book, but the negatives outweighed the positives for me. The fact that Morgan called her mother and grandmother "her ladies" repeatedly was annoying. The identity theft portions of the plot were mainly implausible, especially regarding the fact that the FBI was on the case. They would have dealt with the cyber crimes much differently than they did in this book. The plot needed to go where it did for the story, but it did not seem genuine. None of the victims ever thought to freeze their credit? Victims of identity theft would be allowed to get a new social security number if they could prove the crime, which Morgan clearly did. These inconsistencies took away from the book as a whole. The novel was also pretty repetitive and could have used a few less pages. Overall, Identity was an average read which did not stand out among many other novels in the genre.

Disclaimer: I was given an Advanced Reader's Copy by NetGalley and the publisher. The decision to read and review this book was entirely my own.

One thing definite about Nora Roberts’ is that their stories keeps you turning the pages. The plot had me enthralled through and through. I just couldn’t help and just finish it one single sitting. Highly loved and enjoyed it

Nora Roberts is who got me into reading romance. She is a master of her craft and never fails to knock it out of the park, book after book. This is no exception. Edge of your seat, jaw dropping twists and turns perfectly paired with swoon worthy romance.

Another great read from Nora Roberts! I look forward to her books every year. Identity kept me intrigued throughout the whole book - always trying to guess the bad guy’s next move. . The book had it all - suspense, humor, and of course a great love story.. I couldn’t put it down.

Thank you author Nora Roberts and publishers for a free E-book ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This was amazing book. I loved the depth of layered suspense the author created within this story. The pacing and writing were on point. Overall, I loved every minute of this book and was well satisfied with the ending.
