This was a lively story with non-stop action as the bad guys kept searching for Jason and Isabel. The book had more suspense than romance, but I didn't mind.
The premise was interesting and so I give full credit for that, but otherwise the story failed to deliver. Maybe it's because the writing was so choppy or because the characters are constantly on the move, but this failed to communicate a sense of urgency to me that a "trapped in a remote location because of snowstorm" plot should have.
My review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense, Hidden Away. I'm always thrilled to get one of Sharon's books in the mail. She has a special way of writing Suspense stories. This one is no exception. It is well written, action pack, and full of twists. I know you are going to love it. Faith is interwoven though out the story like a fine tapestry.

You don’t want to miss this Love Inspired Suspense. The comments and impressions are my own.
This book is a fast paced read from beginning to end. The author had me right there with the characters, wondering when they were finally going to be anle to rest from all the running. The characters themselves are well developed. I really felt for the heroine and the message of God's redemption rings trues.
