Evie is about to embark on the perfect life. Beautiful, poised, and engaged to the son of a Senator and a rising lawyer, she fits the part of trophy wife perfectly, except for one thing: her entire identity is a lie. Five years ago she created a new identity for herself, but it all crashes back when something she witnessed years ago comes back to haunt her. Now she's in danger of losing more than her social status. Determined to protect the careful life she's built for herself, Evie doesn't want anything to do with Riley, the criminal for hire who stole her heart years ago. But Riley has other ideas. He's never forgotten Evie, and to protect her, he steals her away. Hidden from the world, sparks begin to fly as old memories resurface and their passion reignites.
3.5 stars, rounding up to 4. I did really like this one, with its more fast-paced thriller vibe, though I didn't like it quiiiite as much as Captive, and I had one serious issue that doesn't sit well with me (see my status updates). But regardless, Brighton Walsh is definitely getting added to my slowly-growing list of fave NA authors. Yay!
