Hidden Rainbows

Love Islands #3

by Maxine Barry

When Persis Canfield-Hope finds her grandmother's diaries dating from 1938, she decides to follow in her footsteps and cross Australia from coast to coast by train. On board, she meets the charming Dane Culver who has a hidden motive in befriending her - involving a fabulous and purloined jewel! Also on board is Rayne Fletcher, an insurance investigator, who is out to nail fraudster Avery McLeod - so falling in love with him was not on the agenda. Unfortunately, however, the real criminal has an agent on board - who is determined that neither Rayne nor Avery will live to see the journey's end...

Reviews

[Julie Powell · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book because of the writing style - fast-paced, well-defined characters and sense of place. I didn't like the sex scenes (personal preference) so skimmed through those.

The characters suited the plots and though predictable, were entertaining.

Worth a look.
