Summary
In her stunning 200th novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts proves why no one is better “when it comes to flawlessly fusing high-stakes suspense with red-hot romance' (Booklist, starred review).

Daughter of a cold, controlling mother and an anonymous donor, studious, obedient Elizabeth Fitch finally let loose one night, drinking too much at a nightclub and allowing a strange man’s seductive Russian accent to lure her to a house on Lake Shore Drive.

Twelve years later, the woman now known as Abigail Lowery lives alone on the outskirts of a small town in the Ozarks. A freelance security systems designer, her own protection is supplemented by a fierce dog and an assortment of firearms. She keeps to herself, saying little, revealing nothing. Unfortunately, that seems to be the quickest way to get attention in a tiny southern town.

The mystery of Abigail Lowery and her sharp mind, secretive nature and unromantic viewpoint intrigues local police chief Brooks Gleason, on both a personal and professional level. And while he suspects that Abigail needs protection from something, Gleason is accustomed to two-bit troublemakers, not the powerful and dangerous men who are about to have him in their sights.

And Abigail Lowery, who has built a life based on security and self-control, is at risk of losing both.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jan 2024

I couldn’t love this book more. I found myself caring about the characters, enjoying the suspense, and laughing out loud on occasion. The narrator is incredibly skillful and the story is engaging and a fun ride from beginning until end.

Profile Avatar Leonie S. Jan 2024

Excellent from start to finish!

Profile Avatar Malene W. Jan 2024

Overall very entertaining and enjoyable, but a bit rambling and repetitive at times.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jan 2024

Average - not as great as the reviews said

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2023

Not interesting

Profile Avatar Leigh E. Dec 2023

Was interesting, unique, the only part I wished wasn’t so long and drawn out was the in between the “new life” and her old life with brooks/ how he fit into the storyline. Felt like that had unnecessary drawn out details, but in the end I loved it

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2023

Nora Roberts at her best. I really enjoyed this book.

Profile Avatar Rachel J. Dec 2023

love this book. this was my 2nd time listening to ir!

Profile Avatar Blondelle O\\\'Garro Dec 2023

Another excellent installment from this author. I gave a 4 star rating only because I felt the plot spent too much time building the love story as opposed to the take down of the criminals making the eventual take down feel too easy.

Profile Avatar Alison B. Sep 2023

An enjoyable listen, the narration was beautifully believable

Excellent. Nora has done it again! When I had to stop for some reason, I could hardly wait to return listening.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2022

Very good read kept me on edge all the time wanting to find out what’s going to happen

Profile Avatar Carol B. Apr 2022

I am a great fan of Nora Roberts and this Audio did not disappoint. I broke my rule of only listening while driving because I wanted desperately to know „What next?“ and consequently stayed up into the early hours of the morning to find out. Very well narrated.

Profile Avatar Lois B. Aug 2021

I'm addicted to the RD Robb (it a pseudo name for Nora Roberts) death series so I wanted to try one of of her books written by Nora Roberts. It was great!!

Profile Avatar Dru N. Jul 2021

This is the best Nora Roberts book I’ve read. Great plot and it was suspenseful!

Profile Avatar Stephanie G. Jul 2021

I loved this book!! Lived the narrator too! I couldn't stop listening. I Love Nora Roberts books, I think this was a favorite though!!

Profile Avatar Theresa D. Apr 2020

Great book. It kept me entertained throughout. The narrator for Elizabeth sounded a little too robotic at times but it kind of played into the characters personality.

Profile Avatar Connie B. Mar 2020

Loved the story and the narration. Great characters.

Profile Avatar Valerie P. Mar 2019

Nora Roberts always writes a good read. Awesome story and narration kept you in the story . Listened to the end was so good.

Profile Avatar Liz B. Sep 2018

Easy read. Precldictable but a light read.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2018

The beginning of the book was very good. It had me interested and very focused. The middle of the book kind of dragged. Seemed like more of a love story. If you can stick with it, it’s an enjoyable listen.

Profile Avatar Melissa M. Jun 2018

It’s was good I wish there was a bit more action like her previous books but I liked the twist. So i gave it 4 for being good but not great.

Profile Avatar cynthia d May 2017

Excellent plot and characters! The narrator was great and made the words come alive.

Profile Avatar Kimberly Aguilar Dec 2016

I enjoyed listening to this. Especially because the narrator did a great job. There were just one or two voices that "bugged" me. It not a world class novel it's just a really good easy listening book

Profile Avatar Gaynor Celotti Dec 2016

Loved listening to this book - I have found the author through audiobooks and will follow through all her books - what a wonderful presenter of the story she made the book come alive

Profile Avatar anastasiya dolzhenkova Oct 2016

Meh! After reading all 5 starts reviews of this book I was expecting so much more than this book delivered. I barely managed to finish it and till the very end was expecting some fascinating twist, but nothing happened. Mediocre.
