When you make the mistake of getting in the wrong crowd, or with the wrong man, you might not be able to escape your past life. Sometimes you get trapped in the cycle. Your past will always catch up with you, eventually. But the beauty is that God has forgiven you and your past mistakes, your past life, all is forgiven.
Harper tried to escape her past, to start again. She wanted to be a nurse, to start a new life. But, the creepy feeling that someone is watching her refuses to fade away, even when she moves across the country and starts a new life. Is someone really after her, or is it just her imagination? Is she truly in danger, or is she just being overly sensitive? As she learns more about the man who enticed her to move she begins to wonder if she’ll ever be safe anywhere or if she’ll forever be looking over her shoulder, trapped in the sins of her past...
Harper doesn’t trust anyone. Will she ever find safety?
-‘Neither of them understood. When you were alone, when you didn’t trust anybody, then nobody could hurt you.’-
This story is so well-written! It gives tiny little hints, just enough to make the reader feel wary, anticipating where the storyline is leading, feeling a little edgy... It starts off subtle so that you don’t feel it’s like a horror story, only lots of suspense but then the action builds and it leaves you on the edge of your seat. The story unravels at a steady pace, unrushed, yet never boring, the tension builds and towards the end it explodes... and ends in a cliffhanger as this is only part one of a three-part series. I can’t wait to read the rest!
-‘Fear rose like flames, but she tamped it down. Nobody was out to get her. Carter wouldn’t dare come into her room uninvited, not with his wife under the same roof. Not after Harper had shut him down at dinner. She wouldn’t let fear keep her from sleep. So the door didn’t lock. So what? She was safe here. She’d spent far too much of her life living in fear. Besides, nobody could hurt her. She’d learned in prison how to defend herself—or at least how to make enough noise to alert the guards. She’d be fine.’-

Great Romantic Suspense, but Buy All Three Books in Series!
Robin Patchen has won me over to her style of romantic suspense with this novel, Beauty in Hiding. You will notice in my meme that there are three books pictured. Beauty in Hiding is book two of a series of three titled, “Beauty in Flight” (also the title of book one). Why do I belabor this point? I strongly urge you to purchase all three books before starting any. You will want to read them all together. I read two and three without one, but these seem to be a continuing story. ‘Nuff said.What a whirlwind of action and intrigue this book is. An elderly man with dementia; his young, beautiful caretaker, who moves them both far from home; a great-looking landlord who wants to share his faith and some friendship with these two; numerous squirrelly and questionable characters who are best avoided at all costs. It took me very little time to become engrossed in the story and personally interested in sweet, scared Harper; friendly, undemanding Jack, and uncertain Red.Why am I laughing (or is it sighing) over the town name of Nutfield where one character has dementia and another’s actions seem nutty if one doesn’t know her backstory? The faith element is real, timely, and appropriately woven into the novel.Some shareable quotes:“If not for the kindness of strangers, I do not know where I would be. So I will be a kind stranger to you.”“She needed more than a drive in the country and some ice cream. She needed a brain transplant.”“Harper’s perch was her floor and her knees, and her prayers were for a glimpse of freedom from this crazy situation she’d found herself in. A hope for the future.”“My brain...I used to be able to rely on it. Now it’s turning against me. Now, I never know if I can trust what I remember.” (This one made me want to cry.)Run to your nearest bookstore and purchase the entire series, Beauty in Flight, Bks 1-3, to add to your collection if you like sinister Christian romantic suspense. I bought books one and three but was given a complimentary copy of Beauty in Hiding by the author through Celebrate Lit. No positive review was required, and all opinions are my responsibility.

Not a great beginning, but the rest of the series is great.
