Samantha Connelly has been on the run since she was seven years old. Forced into Witness Protection after her father saw something he shouldn’t has caused her to learn to blend in. She’s moved, changed her name, and her appearance more times than she can count over the last nineteen years all along wondering if it will ever end. Her handler, Kevin, along with her parents have assured her that it won’t be forever, but as the years tick by she’s slowly given up hope that she’ll ever be normal.
Now at 26, Sam has moved to Chicago and is working at the Rusty Nail as a bartender calling herself Mallory. Her father passed away two years before leaving her to finish what he started…put away the ‘bad guys’. Living on the run in hiding has been harder than she ever imagined, and finding love has always been out of the question. Who would want to be with someone they couldn’t be honest with? She’s resigned herself to being alone, until… Brian walks in.
Brian Sellers is everything Sam has been trying to avoid her entire life. He’s clad in leather and torn jeans, donning several tattoos…all-in-all a bad boy. When their eyes connect one evening, everything she’s ever told herself falls to the wayside as an indescribable draw pulls her to him. He’s sexy and domineering, and something about him reminds her of a boy she used to know.
The more time she spends with Brian, the more she wants him, but…Brian is not everything he seems to be. When Sam happens to see the tat on his wrist, the same tat that her father saw all those years ago, she realizes she’s flirting with the enemy. Brian has no idea that he’s hanging out with the one girl his boss wants dead.
Can Sam hide her identity from the first man she’s had real feelings for? What will Brian do when he finds out who she really is? Can love really conquer all?
Being Nobody is the first book in The Witness series.
Rating: ☆☆☆☆
'Mallory' has been living a constantly changing life since she was 7 years old and her dad witnessed a heinous crime, forcing them into the Witness Protection Program. Never staying anywhere for very long, she has no idea who or where she will be from one day to the next, living in fear that they will be discovered again. 'Mallory' so desperately wants to live a normal life and for the moment she has a job in a bar. When Brian enters her bar, he seems the perfect way to live normally, except for the fact that he is everything she has been trying to avoid in a man. But it could all come crashing down around her when she spots a tat that links him to the reason she is in the Witness Protection Program. Can she stay away from him or will he bring her down?
A highly suspenseful read as you are kept guessing as to what will happen. 'Mallory's' attitude towards Brian knowing that he could potentially lead her to her death was a little puzzling, almost as if the questions she asked were tokenistic as she always gave up really easily. And equally at times Brian knew the risks of getting involved but seemed willing to put her at risk. However, once you get the full picture, you can understand their behaviour a little better. There are plenty of surprises and typically, nothing is as it seems. I came away though desperately wanting more and wanting to find out what happens next for Brian and 'Mallory'.
