True Love

The story is about a young woman who has a baby alone and is running away from her horrible family. She finds comfort in Dr Snyder. I would like to know a man like Reeve! Lots of twist and turns. Just when you think its over, a new issue comes to the surface!

Wonderful mix of romance and suspense

When Polly Black, pregnant and on the run, is involved in a terrible accident she finds herself in the tender care of Dr. Reeve Snyder. With a mound of hospital bills and no way to pay, Polly makes arrangements with the hospital of Selborn Peak to work off her debt by taking a job at the hospital. Selborn Peak is a small town far away from the city of her past. She should be safe there...at least for a while. But as her relationship with Dr. Reeve Snyder grows beyond that of the normal doctor/patient acquaintance and the threat of her past begins to catch up with her, safety threatens to become merely a dream.Dr. Reeve Snyder is instantly taken aback by the black curly haired new mother he had rescued from the car accident. Memories of his own past flashing back with each glance at Polly and her newborn daughter, he vows to only be a friend to this woman in need. In return for his help and kindness he doesn't expect anything in return except for the one thing she refuses to give him-the truth. Still, despite his vow to himself, he finds his heart falling deeper and deeper in love with the newest resident of Selborn Peak. He's fallen for her so much to the point that all he can see in the future is a life filled with her and her newborn baby girl. But when danger creeps closer the reality that he could loose them both forever takes control of all.This book much reminded me of the type of story you would see in a Lifetime movie. ALIAS MOMMY is a riveting romantic suspense that keeps you guessing to the very last page. With so many twists and turns in the mystery plot as well as the romance that develops between Polly and Reeve it's almost impossible to put the book down. Linda O. Johnston has done a magnificent job of weaving doctors, attorneys, politicians, private investigators, reporters, and much more into a single storyline sure to leave one heck of a lasting impression in your reader's mind.

A rescue more than once

Linda O. Johnston's weaving of the story line of this charmer was captivating. Couldn't put this one down. Minor characters play an important part in this story and keep the hero and heroine on the right track. I disagree with Penny Griffin's analysis almost word-for-word. It is apparent she didn't read the same book I read. The hero and heroine and the baby are all critical to each other. The heat that built between Reeve and Polly was very real and believeable. The doubts they both had that held them back were eventually satisfied and the true nature of their deep commitment to each other could not be denied in the end. I thought the author's resolution was clever and unpredictable. But no fair reading the last chapter first! I'd like to recommend this book even to younger romance readers. It teaches the power of trust.

This book offers both mystery and romance. I was surprised at how much I actually liked this book. Polly is a very delicate woman who would do anything for her child. Reeve is a man that has lost so much and is willing to do whatever it takes to help Polly and her baby. Some books have either romance or mystery and rarely both. This book has both and so much more. I enjoyed this book and can not wait to read more by Linda Johnston.
