This is an excellent page turner. I would highly recommend it. Easy read and a great plot. Lots of twists and turns but easy to follow.

‘24 - ONLY 205 PGS - 4 STARS

DESCRIPTION : Widower Luke Driskell didn’t expect to fall in love and marry again so quickly. But Ashley and her daughter, Joy, are special—a quality borne out when Ashley rushes into a burning day-care center to save the children. Immediately she’s a social media sensation and hero. Then, just as suddenly, Ashley and Joy disappear into the bitterly cold night. With no trace of their whereabouts, Luke begins a panicked investigation. Alarmingly, he can find no proof that the woman he loves even exists. Left behind: just a hidden stash of fake IDs. Different names. Different cities. Same haunted face. Now the devastated husband has only questions: Who did he marry? What is she hiding?

REVIEW :

First books by this author for me were All He Has Left (‘23 - 3 Stars due to being only 206 pages and not enough time to develop the characters) and Family Money (‘22 - 4 Stars).

Even though only 205 pages, the authors writing drew me right in. I even felt close to the characters very quickly. Plot kept me excited to see what would happen next in the hunt for Ashley & Joy. Very enjoyable !

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining read with a perfect end

This isn't a deep read with a lot of twists, and that's just fine.

Luke is a businessman (software, I think) who is still trying to recover from a tragic loss when he meets Ashley. She's everything he didn't know he needed, and when he discovers that she is not impressed by his wealth and status he finds new freedom in her and her daughter than he ever had before.

Unexpected events being Ashley to the spotlight of news and social media, something she's always avoided. When she turns up suddenly missing, Luke will move heaven and earth to bring his wife and step daughter home. However, the more he uncovers in his search, the more danger tightens it's grip on him and leaves him fearing for his family's safety and wondering if he will ever see them again.

Exciting read, well-written even if it's not twisty, likeable characters, and very few plot points that stretch disbelief beyond it's limits. I'll probably read more from this author.

Liked the book a lot. Lots of twists and the characters are good and who wouldn't want a guy like Luke in your corner
! Some spots a little slow but otherwise worth the read.

Very seductive story line that hooks you from the first page. Every page entices you to keep turning to find the missing wife.

I had to keep reading this book until I finished! It was fast paced and even I couldn’t figure the ending out until the end! Great read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, wish there was an epilogue
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2024
I loved the twist and turns and finding out what happened in the end. However, I wish there was epiloque for Ashley to explain more of her story or even just an update on their life.
