Have You Seen Her? by Chicki Brown is another book that will grab your interest and keep you turning the pages. I really enjoyed reading the book, the storyline dealt with domestic violence in a marriage, and how a woman (Marcia/Dani) took measures to leave that behind and establish a new life for herself. Marcia married Reggie, a heir apparent to a wealthy family corporation and lived a storybook life in Santa Barbara, Ca. for 7 years, but the last 3 years of their marriage was frought with domestic violence as Reggie ran with a wealthy fast crowd and became addicted to cocaine. The last fight left Marcia with a knife wound to the neck, she knew she had to leave or possibly die the next time, so she made preparations to leave. Marcia runs to the east coast with a new identity (Dani) and settles into a new life in Atlantic City, NJ. Dani takes a job as a cocktail waitress in a nightclub, where she meets a bouncer named Taylor. Dani and Taylor go from being wary towards each other to friendship to a budding romance. Taylor is the good looking, protective man that is the exact opposite of Reggie. Everything seems to go Dani's way until a chance meeting with one of Reggie's friends in a jazz club in Philadelphia, PA leads Reggie's investigator to Dani's door. The suspense and drama that Marcia/Dani and Taylor endure with Reggie retaliating against them throughout the book will keep you sitting on the edge of your seat!
