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!

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.

I am baffled after reading the reviews about this book. I must have read a different book than the other reviewers because I didn't see any mystery in this book. Alias Mommy is a story where you know everything from the beginning and there is no mystery to figure out. Polly is running from men who want to kill her. We find out why a little ways into the book. That's it. There's no mystery, no trying to figure out who the bad guys are. We know all of that. I don't know what all the other reviewers are talking about. The ending was also very predictable. Everything about the story was! I wish I could ask some of the other reviewers what the mystery was because I don't see it.

Starts with a fast plot and picks up speed, then twists at the end. The main characters are likeable as well--good reading.

because the hero uses a condom, and she uses her initiative not only in the bedroom but for the trouble she gets in. Linda O. Johnston is a very able and natural writer. Ms. Johnston writes in the best of Harlequin tradition. The young heroine is running away from terrifying circumstance and finds hope in a small town as well as how much she can be through her own initiative. I can love the thought of whom she falls in love with just terrifically fine. Thank you, Ms. Johnston.
