Hideaway by Nora Roberts
3.0

I read this for the 52 Book Club Reading Challenge 2021 prompt: Written by an author over 65 (when published)

This was my first Nora Roberts book. I know she's got the romance thing down and is working through mysteries now. The premise of this book was so intriguing to me.

I was hooked within the first hour of the Audiobook! January LaVoy did an amazing job with the narration. But after Cate was saved, I had a hard time with it. The first 15% of this book was so exciting and gripping that the rest fell a little flat. I didn't really care about Cate's life in New York at all and she just had it so easy. The ending got slightly more exciting, but all the excitement happened within the last 10 minutes of the audiobook.

Overall this was a good book, but not one I'd recommend to my friends or re read in the near future.
