Twenty-eight-year-old Nina Simmons has been on the run from her abusive ex-husband for the past three years. She has been living another identity, repeatedly changing her name and looks over the years, so it’s been hard to keep track of all her aliases. To maintain a low profile and protect herself, she’s unable to stay in touch with her loved ones for fear that her ex might find her through them.
But Nina faces a predicament when she moves to the picturesque town of Deep Ridge Bay. Will it be enough to stop her from running again? Meeting the town's most eligible bachelor and having him take an interest in her, she is confronted with a desire for a second chance at love. However, not everyone is happy for the new couple, though. And when they go digging her past, they find a few secrets that Nina thought she had buried.
What happens when she thinks the past she has escaped comes knocking, and her secrets are exposed to the person she doesn't want to lose the most?
Will she stay and fight for herself, or will she continue running and not look back?
I received a gifted E-Book copy of ‘Running from the Shadows (Book 2)’ by Faith Blakely from Faith Blakely’s ARC group which I am signed up to. This book is the second in the series and I would encourage you to read the books in order as they lead straight on from the next.
This book follows Nina Simmons, who has been on the run from her abusive ex-husband for the last three years.
Every time she feels he may be catching up with her, she must change her appearance, identity, and location.
Nina is settling into her new life in Deep Ridge Bay, she is loving getting to know the people around her. All apart from one rude woman she meets.
She gets a proposition from the local most eligible Batchelor, asking for her help.
Will she agree? Will this compromise her new life in Deep Ridge Bay?
I am enjoying reading this series and getting to know more about Nina, she is dealing with a lot, and I just want to see her find a happy new life.
I did want the story to continue a bit further, as I didn’t feel there was enough happen in this book, but I will just have to wait to read book 3 to find out more.
Overall, a beautifully written story of a woman trying to find a new place to call home.
