Rachel Thomas has waking dreams of freedom, and night-time dreams of running. She refuses to put down roots because it's too dangerous for her to do so. Then she meets book store owner Mark, and she's too tempted not to date him. Then she winds up staying in the same place a little too long. Their relationship is a delicate ballance, and it brings a subtle beauty to the story, complimenting the action and suspense.False Security is good from page one, but it becomes especially hard to put down in the last third. I don't want to give too much away, because a large part of the story is about Rachel's secrets, but once Donovan King enters the picture we understand all too well why Rachel acts the way she does. The author does a great job of making us feel for Rachel and I rooted for her the entire time. There are all sorts of complexities attached to Rachel's past, and her behavior is believable and she's quite symathetic. This a well-layered, gripping story. Very well done!
