Like every book that Lynette Easton writes this one is filled with intense action and lots of interesting characters. Summer Abernathy's simple and predictable life is thrown into turmoil and confusion when she wakes one evening to find that her husband has gone missing and there are men looking for him. This sets the stage for an action-packed story of deception, death, revenge and organized crime. Ultimately it sets the stage for the trying of faith and for the experience of grace and forgiveness.

I enjoyed this book except for the main character's lack of sympathy or understanding for the fact that her husband was in witness protection and therefor had not been able to be truthful with her about his past or true identity. Given her occupation I would have thought the she would have held some knowledge about the gravity of his situation and had a little more empathy toward him instead of crying about it. However, her sister certainly was even more on the whiny side also. This was a little hard to stomach at times.

This story is very complex but is so well written that the reader easily stays up with the plot and sub plots. There are so many twists and turns that the reader stays hooked till the very lost shot is fired and the smoke has cleared. A great read to say the least.

Thanks to Revell for this review copy. ( )

3.5 stars--rating shown may differ depending on whether site allows half star ratings.

I would classify this in the suspense/thriller genre. There is a subplot about Summer and Kyle and whether their marriage will survive his lying to her, but it was not a big part of the plot. There were some twists and turns that I didn't anticipate along the way. ( )

I often use my audiobook listening time to catch up on books I’ve missed in a series. I somehow managed to read books 2 and 3 without first reading book 1 in Lynette Eason’s Hidden Identity series. So the past few weeks I have spent some heart-pounding time with No One to Trust. And though this book accompanied my morning walks, it was the fast-paced suspense, action-packed situations, and the creepy villain that got my heart racing. This novel is definitely a recommended read.

No One to Trust is a bit unusual for the romantic suspense genre. The two main characters are already married, but who knows if they will remain that way. Summer Abernathy wakes up to find a gunman in her bedroom demanding she turn over a hidden laptop. The trouble is her husband Kyle (or is his name David?) has never shared his secrets with Summer. The action starts on page one, and the danger only increases as Summer finds herself with Kyle/David eluding bad guys from both sides of the criminal world. They and the reader are continually surprised by betrayals. Eason takes them and her readers on a twisting course to find justice and perhaps a renewed love for Summer. I loved that I never knew what was going to happen — this book kept me guessing right until the end. Also, the narrator of the audio version did a great job of pacing and making the characters come to life.

Recommended.

Audience: adults.

Wow! That was intense!

I really enjoyed this action-filled suspense from Eason! I loved how it wasn't your typical romantic suspense, instead focusing on a married couple. I did predict a few things early on in the book, but that didn't take away from my enjoyment of the book. I loved all the characters, from David and Summer, to Mike, Adam, Chase, and Ron. Amidst the action, there was a lot of heartwarmingheart wrenching moments that only made the story more fabulous.

There is quite a bit of violence, and some creepy elements. That is the main reason I docked a star; this rates pretty high up there on my creepy-scale. ;)

All in all, another fabulous one from Eason!

Recommended for ages 15 for intense action, violence, death, and mild romance. ( )
