Review: Riveting!
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 24, 2014
The introduction to this story is exhilarating, and although the action slows down a little in the first couple of chapters as characters are introduced, the pace soon picks up again. Tension creeps in, and it becomes clear that the heroine, Rachel, is attracted to the local bookshop owner, Mark, but only accepts a date with him against her better judgement. The reasons for Rachel's unwillingness to get involved, and for her constant changes of identity and addresses are revealed: She has to stay one step ahead of Donovan King, a powerful man whom she once loved, but grew to fear. Her feelings for Mark and longings for a normal life cause her to stay in one place a little too long – a mistake which may well prove fatal.Rachel is portrayed as a strong woman, who made the mistake of loving unwisely, and then found the strength to break free of an unhealthy relationship. Ms Martin had me rooting for Rachel and Mark, while the threat that Rachel might be recaptured, and this time fail to escape Donovan King's brutality became very real. As danger escalated, I found it impossible to stop reading. A riveting story: if you enjoy romantic thrillers, you're in for a treat with "False Security".
