Identity: Classified

GIVEAWAY
SHOAF, LIZ
IDENTITY: CLASSIFIED

Uncovering the past may be the only way to survive

After security specialist Chloe Spencer witnesses a murder on her webcam, the killer faces the camera with a threat: return his disc, or she's next. Unsure what he's after, Chloe uses an alias and runs...until she lands in Sheriff Ethan Hoyt's jurisdiction. When the killer finds her, Chloe must stand alone or trust Ethan -- with the secrets of her past, her life...and her heart.

My Review:

So, this doesn't happen often...in fact maybe never...but I had to stop reading and hustle over to my computer to start writing this review because I am over-the-moon-crazy about this kick-butt heroine! She's delightfully unexpected and has succeeded in discombobulating Sheriff Hoyt from their very first meet. "He'd just made a fool of himself and could only chalk it up to the sudden appearance of Dorothy carting Toto around on a motorcycle." (p 14) And little Geordie -- 15 pounds of fierce attack poodle! What a hoot! And these are just my first impressions after reading chapter one!

"Chloe hadn't been around many kids during her adult life, but she did train dogs and knew a thing or two." (p 99) Bwahahaha!!! I LOVE Chloe -- she's tough and scrappy and smart-mouthed. Poor Ethan doesn't know what to make of her. He doesn't trust her but he's not willing to leave her to her own devices and possibly get killed either. And his internal observations are hysterical! Love me some dry wit in the middle of angsty chaos!

Be still my heart -- Geordie!!! He's the true hero of this romantic suspense (sorry, Ethan, rest assured you come in at a close second!) This little canine packs as much 'tude as his mama and brought so much fun to the read!

Honestly -- Identity: Classified is sheer brilliance. In my top ten of fave Love Inspired Suspense novels ever. Really.

  6. I don't always put my name in for the LI romantic suspense giveaways, because they are usually easy to get at my library. Since Liz Shoaf is a new author, it isn't likely they will unless requested. Which I will probably do, because I LOVE a good heroine. I am really hard to please with heroines and you made me super excited for this one.
