This book is a re-release of a 2006 romantic suspense novel called "Wise Moves"

While this is an enjoyable read the author has definitely put the emphasis on romantic rather than suspense. A good read for the sunlounger but not one that will keep you up all night.

This kept me engaged the whole time but the ending was expected. It ended raw and romantic but I was hoping for a tad more. I love Mary burton and definitely recommend this book and all of her others!

A classic trope of being on the run and hiding for your life while falling in love with someone who is looking for you. Love it!

Find You Mary Burton
4 stars
A good read
This was a really good read that only took me a couple of days to finish because it was such a good plot and an interesting take on how an evil person can still show love but in an obsessive way.
Antonio Benito is a drug dealer and a murderer but the one person that he loves is his sister Elena. He has provided her with a luxurious lifestyle and she had everything that she needed. However he cannot share her with anyone and when Elena discovers that he has had her fiancée Carlos murdered and also kills people who were supposed to be protecting her in front of her, Elena knows she has to get away.
As the book begins, Elena now known as Kristen Rodale, has been on the run for over a year. She has totally transformed everything that she can about herself and has finally found a job in a yoga studio in a small place in Virginia called Lancaster Springs. Despite her brother offering 5 million dollars for her discovery no one has yet found her and she is beginning to relax.
Kristen is looking after the yoga studio as the owner Sheridan is away for a few days when a builder, Dane Cambia arrives to do some work on the building. Almost immediately Kristen feels attracted to him and the feeling is obviously mutual but what Kristen does not know is that Dane is ex-FBI and the police officer killed in front of Kristen was his sister. He is working with Lucian Moss who is a security expert whose uncle was also killed by Antonio. Their task is to identify whether Kristen is in fact Elena and then use her as bait to draw out Antonio.
The story was fast-paced and tense but I only allocated 4 stars because I thought the romance between the 2 main characters was just too contrived and not very realistic.
However I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys this genre.

Find You is another must read story from Mary Burton.
The whole premise of this story grabbed my attention from the beginning and never let it go. It was very interesting to see how revenge can change a person’s actions and thoughts. Moreover, when the heart changes its mind after finding out the truth, is even better. And Mary Burton did an excellent job in here. I loved all the interactions between Dane and Kristen and my romantic heart rutted for them at all times.
Being related with a criminal, life can’t be easy even when she’s trying to let it all behind.
Once everything unfolds, it’s a fast paced game to survive and that ending was well deserved.

🆓📖Very grateful to the publisher for my review copy

I loved this book and could not put it down.
The author writes in a very descriptive way and you feel like you are there in the moment.
I couldn’t put this down and raced through it.
Somewhat predictable in so far as you knew Dane was going to save her but nevertheless a great read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Loved the characters and the depth of detail helped you feel you were along for the ride,
Hugely grateful for the opportunity to read this as an ARC thank you net galley. It was one I was very interested in and it delivered exactly, if not more

I am a huge fan of Mary Burton and have read all of her books!
I am an avid reader living near London and I know that with Mary Burton I will experience an amazing fast paced, action packed mystery with a romance in twinned.
Dane and Kristen’s story is no exception and pure delight. The small town in Virginia setting is also really enjoyable.
I would without a doubt highly recommend this book and indeed any other books written by Mary Burton who is in my opinion a really talented author.
A must read!

I found the couple difficult to believe. He used her to find her brother the villain and then was all but I love you. I don't buy it.

Great suspense with a little romance thrown in! Gritty characters that pull you in right from the start. Never saw the ending coming! This author never disappoints!

I wish I'd read this on a better mood because it didn't go well with me this time. I tried so hard to connect to the characters but I feel a bit detached.

Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) provided by the Author and Publisher via NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Reissue of "Wise Moves" and it doesn't show its' age at all. The story is a great, classic Romantic-Suspense. The plot just hums right along, and the romance is sure to please.

Kristin Rodale is not her real name. Kristin has been on the run for the past nine months and now she finally feels safe enough to stay in the same place for more than a week. She is falling in love with a small town in Virginia and her new job as a receptionist for a yoga studio.

Nine months ago, Kristin was Elena Benito, the pampered sister of Miami drug lord, Antonio Benito. Benito killed people in front of Elena as a warning to her and then he puts a hit on her which fails, and she runs.

Dane Cambia is a former FBI agent whose sister Benito had killed. He is on a hunt to find Elena. He isn't interested in returning her to Miami, he wants to use her as bait. His plan is to end Benito once and for all. When he meets and gets to know Kristin, he falls in love with her. But Kristen will never be safe unless Benito is dead.

Elena Benito is in a safe house with FBI guarding her before she is to testify against her brother who is being tried for murder among other things.
One of the agents has informed her brother where she is for the $5 million dollar reward he has on her head.
Elena escapes when both FBI agents are killed by her brother's henchmen.

She eventually arrives in a small town and finds a job, but is located by Lucian, whose Uncle was murdered by her brother, and Dane, whose sister was one of the FBI agents murdered, who are both intent on using Elena (now known as Kristen) as bait.

Dane did not count on falling in love with Kristen... but goes ahead with his plan to use her as bait.

Thrilling from the first page, I read this in one sitting.

Really enjoy Mary Burton's novels, there is a bit of everything, suspense, intrigue and romance.

Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this.

Elena Benito’s brother Antonio is a drug lord. When she witnesses him murder innocents, she turns evidence and is scheduled to testify. The night before the court date her safe house is compromised and she escapes. Fearing for her life and no longer trusting the police, Elena assumes the name Kristen & settles into a small town working for a yoga studio

Dane Cambria was the brother of one of the officers killed protecting Elena. He’s out for revenge. Ex special forces, he plans to lure Antonio out by finding Elena. Lucian Mosses uncle was one of the innocents killed by Antonio. He has been hacking into his finances trying to cut him off. Dane teams up with Lucian to hunt for Elena and take his revenge.

When they find Elena, Dane takes on a construction job at the yoga studio. He soon realizes that Elena is just another victim of her brother. Will he still use her as bait?

I’ve read other books by this author and this one is just as good. Worth the read.

Find You is a intriguing mystery/suspense with romance.
Main character, Kristen, is put in protective custody so she can testify against her brother. Things do not go as planned and Kristen ends up on her own…..just trying to survive as best she can. She finds as place she feels safe at when she meets Dane.
Suspenseful elements with a heartwarming romance aspect.
