I received this book from my mom who said it was great. Her & I have different opinions on books but I just finished a book and didn't have a new one so I thought I would try this. It started out a little slow for me and I didn't care for the characters that much in the beginning. Then before I knew it, I was into the book...didn't want to put it down and felt that I knew the characters. Although I don't think it was the greatest book, it was an easy read and it kept my interest and made me feel something for the characters which is always important to me.

exhilarating romantic suspense
28 July 2004
By Harriet Klausner
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In Austin, Texas, Blaine and Mark Anderson barely talk to one another as their lives have become comfortably managed by him. An attorney, Mark is considering running for public office, but does not contemplate Blaine's fears of public appearances. Mark goes on to work while Blaine leaves him a note that she is going to a clinic and they need to talk later.
An explosion rips through the clinic killing some people including a nurse holding Blaine's coat and rings while she was being examined. Blaine, now knowing she is pregnant, survives in a daze, but the papers declare her dead when Mark recognizes her jewelry.
Unable to reach her spouse, Blaine goes undercover using her first and middle name Mary Blaine hiding in a homeless environment as the bomber, realizing she lived, searches for her. When Mark learns his wife is alive, he begins a street search for her because he loves her and rejects the notion that she just simply left him. With the help of street people, Blaine survives and makes friends, but the killer is coming and aid from her spouse is cut off by his employer.
FINDING MARY BLAINE is an exhilarating romantic suspense that focuses on a mousy heroine surviving by befriending street people. The story line moves forward at a fast clip, but readers gain an appreciation for Mary, Mark, and several folks she befriends. Though the inability to reach Mark seems odd in an age of communication even with his mentor manipulating much of the scenario, fans will appreciate this rousing look at the plight of the homeless wrapped inside an exciting thriller.

Most captivating book I have read in a long time!

This is truely one of the most heartwarming and captivating stories I have read in quite some time! The storyline was something very new and exciting. Unlike any book I have read. I found myself bursting into tears one minute, then biting my nails in suspense as Mary (Blaine) runs for her life! My husband even got a tad angry at me because I brought this book in the car and read on our way out to eat dinner...I could not put it down..I was so captivated. I believe you will not regret reading this wonderfully written book, it will touch your heart and make you take a look around your life as to what is REALLY important in your life.

Finding Mary Blaine

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I really enjoyed this book! It's got everything in it. It makes you care about the characters, appreciate relationships and see the good in everybody.
It takes the main character from a very comfortable, high-style but robotic life to living on the streets. She learns that the street people actually survive by caring for and looking out for one another. As she trys to survive that experience, in the meantime, she is being hunted by a hired killer, who quickly finds that he missed her as his target in a clinic bombing. Early on, her husband is told the worst, that she didn't survive. His feelings, and even a friendship he strikes up with an elderly neighbor, are developed.
She also discovers that even though she and her husband went through their daily routines and their relationship without much effort, she came to realize how much she really cared for him and how strong her instinct was to keep him out of harm's way.
I highly recommend this book, as I found it suspenseful, romantic and enlightening. A very good read, in my opinion.
