Nowhere to Turn (#02 in Hidden Identity Series)

Romantic suspense is my favourite genre, so I should have enjoyed this, but I didn't. I didn't relate at all to Dani, and I didn't understand why it took her twelve years to leave Kurt. Yes, I know her husband threatened to murder her son in front of her if she ever left, but there are ways to hide from the authorities. Criminals do it all the time, and women's refuges exist to help (we know there was a refuge-her neighbour gave her the details). \\r\\n\\r\\nAnd I know this is fiction, but I found Operation Refuge too unbelievable, with their seemingly never-ending resources and hot line to the state governor (because, you know, the governor has nothing better to do than wait for telephone calls from ex-US Marshals who need a favour). It was Hawaii Five-O without the sunshine and scenery. \\r\\n\\r\\nHowever, I do have sympathy for Dani and other women in her situation. But this wasn't enough to rescue the novel for me. There were parts of the plot which were excellent, like the twist at the end about who was behind everything. Then there were parts which just seemed contrived, like the other plot twist at the end. And there were a couple of other plot devices which were simply too obvious. Overall, not a book I enjoyed. \\r\\n\\r\\nThanks to Revell and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.

Was so excited when this arrived. The 2nd story in the Hidden Identity Series. Danielle is so brave to make the decision to take her son and leave her abusive husband. \\r\\nWhen it becomes obvious that her life is still in danger months after her husband Ken is killed she is directed to Adam Buchanan who takes her and her son on as clients and goes into hiding. \\r\\nFrom the first page it's a story that I put down only when my eyes demanded rest. \\r\\nTotally enjoyed every page turning situation and the resulting love and restoration of life for Danielle and her son. \\r\\nAnother totally great suspence romance by Lynette. \\r\\n
