RS Review: Stolen: A Novel of Romantic Suspense [Mass Market Paperback]



I've finished "Stolen" by Shiloh Walker.

Product Description

This thrilling and super sexy novel from bestselling romantic suspense author Shiloh Walker will appeal to fans of Allison Brennan and Linda Howard.

Shay Morgan has stayed hidden for a long time. Living a reclusive life in Earth’s End, Alaska, she’s as far away as she can get from the trauma of her childhood and the man who hurt her long ago. But terror takes over Shay’s life yet again when an unknown stalker steals away the fragile peace she’s built for herself — targeting not only her but the one man who’s ever managed to get past the walls she’s built around herself.

Elliot Winter has lived through being falsely accused before — it ruined his military career. Now it’s happening all over again. And this time, his accuser is a twisted impostor who’s targeting his ex-girlfriend, Shay. Despite a fierce mutual attraction, Shay and Elliot broke up because Shay couldn’t let her guard down, couldn’t let Elliot in. But now they both need to trust each other to confront a psycho who seems to know all their secrets.

My Review:

Shay Morgan has painfully distanced herself from her childhood trauma.  She lives in Alaska as a reclusive successful author.  Her website is the only touch with the outside world and she doesn't like being in the spotlight.  She is unwillingly allows anyone to get close to her and is the reason why she and Elliot are no longer a couple.  Someone is impersonating her and spreading lies about Elliot.

Elliot Winter is Shay's ex-boyfriend and is a bookstore owner.  He couldn't believe it when his favorite author Shane Neil came into the store and autographed books, left bookmarks and gave him an ARC of her upcoming book.  When Shay confides in him that she is indeed Shane Neil he doesn't believe her at first but he realizes things aren't adding up and he decides to help her figure out who is pretending to be her.

The mystery suspense was well written and had many twists and turns.  Elliot is a guy you would love to find in real life because he's handsome, smart and takes care of people who he loves, etc.  Lorna is the friend you would love to have in real life because she's caring, supportive and gives great advice.

3/5
