She really knows how to get and keep the readers attention and this brings loyalty. However I’m feeling generous so 3.5 rounded up for a Nice (the capital N is deliberate) story. 5.0 out of 5 stars It was a true page turner. The villains’ later actions don’t make a whole lot of sense, but if you roll with it, most get what they deserve (although I was disappointed that there wasn’t an epilogue of a will reading showing one particular character getting an unpleasant surprise – I’m being vague to avoid spoilers…) The book is padded out with a lot of not particularly interesting domestic details and conversations about how much they all love each other, making it about 30% longer than it needed to be. It’s obvious from the start who both the love interest and the antagonists will turn out to be.
Ironically, the negative reviews for this complain about the lack of romance and love scenes, but for me this was the main reason I liked it. This had two likeable and well developed main characters, and a few interesting support characters, like laidback surfer-sheriff Red and flamboyant step-grandmother Lily, but most of the other characters were too saccharine-sweet to be true. Reading Hideaway is like a mini vacation, as Roberts transports you from the sun-drenched mountains of Big Sur to the rolling hills of Ireland to the.
