Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts
4.0
hopeful mysterious medium-paced
Loveable characters: Yes

I am always so impressed with all the different genres that Roberts writes. This is a romantic suspense set in a small town with Sloan who is back home to heal from an injury. While she is there, there is a case of a local woman missing and is intrigued by it and tries to help the local police solve it. At the same time, Nash and Theo moves to town and starts a small business. 

Despite knowing who the killers are and their motivation, it was interesting to see their perspective. I think knowing this, the story does become predictable. 

I enjoyed the slow burn romance of Sloan and Nash. They were focused on Sloan's home renovations and slowly getting to know each other better. I appreciate that Nash didn't try to be alpha and was impressed with Sloan's independence and strength. 

January LaVoy is a phenomenal narrator. She did so many different voices to distinguish between the characters. 

Thank you @stmartinspress @macmillan.audio for a copy of the book.
