Review & Giveaway: Abandoned Identity

Abandoned IdentityAbandoned Identity is the second book by Tamara Tilley. I haven’t read her other book, Full Disclosure, so this was my first experience reading this author.

The Plot

Jennifer Patterson and Harrison Lynch get off to a rocky start, when Harrison is hired for the job Jennifer had trained for. Jennifer resents Harrison for getting the position she thought should be hers, and she doesn’t hide her feelings. Then one snowy night, they are stuck at the office together, and each sees a different, more tender side to the other.

The next day, however, Jennifer disappears. Harrison tries to find her, but it seems she has fallen off the face of the earth. Three years later, he thinks he sees her on a beach in California. Is it really her?

My Opinion

I started to read this book on a Thursday afternoon and was finished 24 hours later. Having never read anything by Tamara Tilley before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I wasn’t disappointed.

Abandoned Identity is full of romance and suspense. Just when I thought I had things figured out, the story would take another turn.

I was also pleased with the gospel message in this book. For the first few chapters I was wondering if it was really a Christian fiction book, but about halfway through the book, the redemptive love of Christ starts to come out.

I thought the two main characters were well developed. I wish that some of the other characters had been developed a little more, but I didn’t feel that the lack of character development took away from the story.

To Read or Not to Read?

I would definitely recommend reading this book, if you are into a quick, suspenseful, and easy read. You can check your local library for a copy, or you can buy it here.

    I just stumbled across your blogs today–linked from debtfree-revolution.

    Enter me in the book drawing, please. My local library doesn’t have this author’s books. If I win, I’ll donate it after I read it. :-)
