This author has a wonderful talent of creating a suspenseful storyline and then dusting it with sweet and irresistible romance. A gripping short story about a woman in trouble and how two estranged souls manage to find each other again. I highly recommend this delightful tale!

Hidden by Hope Welborn is a romantic suspense novella perfect for Christmas Eve reading. Allison thinks someone is after her, or is she just paranoid? Taking no chances she flees to her family’s north Georgia cabin, but real danger follows her, along with a snowstorm! She is joined by Noah, once-upon-a-time-friend turned betrayer. He says he’s there to help, but can he really be trusted? The twists and turns come fast and furious in this book. And I didn’t see the ending coming! At just a little bit over 100 pages, you can uncover the mystery before you hang up your stocking for Santa. 😉 I like the idea of the Icelandic tradition of giving and reading books on Christmas Eve, and Hidden is a great choice to gift yourself. So snuggle under the covers with some cocoa and find the HEA along with Allison.

I liked this romantic suspense involving Noah and Allison and their second chance at love. The action was exciting. I highly recommend this wonderful story. The twist at the end made the suspense of the mystery the best. This was my first time reading a book by Hope Welborn and it won't be my last. This is my voluntary and honest review.

Christmas books are always great to read, but add the suspense and it’s amazing!!
What’s supposed to be a quiet family Christmas turns into a mystery filled with twists and turns. The action is fast paced and the back story of the main characters adds yet another layer to this great read.
Looking forward to reading more books by this author!
