Hideaway by Nora Roberts
4.0
Hideaway
4.5 Stars
Written in the classic Nora Roberts style reminiscent of some of her earlier works, such as Public Secrets and River's End, Hideaway focuses on the development of the heroine from childhood into adulthood. Caitlyn Sullivan, the scion of a famous acting dynasty, is a very appealing heroine who overcomes the myriad of obstacles in her path with intelligence, strength, and resilience. One small issue is that young Cate sometimes comes across as far more mature than her age would suggest.
The romance is satisfying and anyone who has read a Nora book will immediately recognize the hero - solid, stalwart, loyal and sexy as all get out. That said, there could have been a bit more sizzle and spice to their relationship.
In terms of the suspense plot, the mystery element is minor as the identity of the villains is revealed early on and the action revolves around the lives of the victims as they adapt to the circumstances. Again one minor issue is that
In sum, Nora's writing is captivating from the start and this is an immensely enjoyable book recommended for fans and newbies alike.
