Compelling thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat! When I tell you that I could not put this book down....My heartrate was through the roof as I cheered and held on hope that the lies, secrets, and works of the enemy will be destroyed. I found myself "knowing" each character and feeling like I was part of the story. Great character descriptions, great thrills, a great plot that was beyond my expectation! If you like all of these things, then this is definitely the book for you!

I am more familiar with Christina Dodd’s historical and contemporary romances. It has been years since I last read one of her books. This title did not have the tone I associate with the author.

The storytelling felt stilted, disjointed and off. Not at all what I remember or associate with the author. Then I had a rough time connecting with the plot or with the characters. Some of their actions and reactions fell short with me. I have never watched “THE GODFATHER” or “WEST SIDE STORY”. I have heard of them. That’s it. So, I cannot really say if this story is a mixture of them.

I tried my best to finish this book. When I noticed that I had to force myself to continue, I knew this book was a miss for me. I made it to the halfway mark, but it failed to grab my attention and interest.

Christina Dodd is one of my favorite authors. I've read every romantic suspense book she has written, but this book is a bit different but I absolutely loved it. Dante and Maarja are extremely well thought out characters with their back stories told in minute detail. They each were very imaginative. When they describe this book they say West Side Story meets the Godfather they have definitely described this perfectly. Maarja was on the run and trying to stay hidden since she was four years old. She has hidden as a fine arts mover. She meets Dante when she has been hired to move Raine Arundels priceless art collection. Dante is the Arundels new ruthless boss. While packing up to leave there's another explosion and she's put into the position of saving Raine, Dante's mother. Afterwards Dante and Maarja are thrown together in a whirlwind of assassin's trying to kill them from the old world order. He vows to end the feud and thinks together Maarja and he can do it. Its a must read to see how they manuever thru betrayal and loss to reach their happy ever after!! See if fate gets it way or if it all goes up in flames!!! I wish to thank NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing/ Canary Street Press for this free copy of " Anonymous Girl " for my honest review.
