Then You Hide
4.5 Stars
Fast paced and exciting - definitely one of the best in the series.
Vanessa initially comes across as hard and abrasive but it quickly becomes clear that she is loyal to a fault and her cool facade is really a defense mechanism concealing her fear of being hurt and losing someone she loves. Wade is simply gorgeous with his soft, sweet, sexy southern drawl that just makes you melt. He is dead set against liking Vanessa but she gets under his skin and he cannot help falling for her. They have excellent chemistry and rather than an immediate and unrealistic infatuation (as in the previous installment), Vanessa and Wade's relationship grows and develops into a believable emotional and physical bond.
The suspense plot centers on locating Vanessa's colleague who seems to have gotten himself into a bind and includes several interesting twists and turns as well as a surprise at the end that is virtually impossible to see coming. The secondary storyline about the search for the daughters of a woman wrongfully convicted of murder continues and the compelling developments make me eager to read the next book. Looks like Lucy Sharpe and Jack Culver will have to come to terms with their relationship in order to find a killer. Should be good.
