Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks

Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks was a romantic thriller that kept the readers engaged through out the book. This was a very enjoyable read. I enjoyed the suspense of this novel. The book took place in the south. It was about a woman who was trying to escape an abusive relationship. It goes into what she had to do to get away from her husband who was a policeman in a neighboring community. She had to make a very detailed plan and completely change her identity to be able to escape from him. The book took her to a small town in the middle of nowhere. The main character "Katie" as she was now known lived a quite life in isolation with the exception of a very friendly neighbour named Jo. Then Katie meets a widower with 2 small children. The book takes the reader through the development of their relationship and how she finally opens up enough to trust someone again. Until her abusive husband finds her and the story takes some unexpected turns.
