Hidden Sins: A Gripping Romantic Suspense Thriller – Love Story of Murder, Dark Secrets, and Redemption
New York Times bestselling author and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Stacey Abrams, writing under her pen name Selena Montgomery, tells a chilling tale of lost love, dark family secrets, and hard-won redemption.
Mara Reed has been stirring up trouble since she was eighteen—running scams, living on the edge, always on the run. Now, when two thugs are after her with murder on their minds, she’s forced into hiding in her small Texas hometown. But as she’s cornered in an alley, only seconds from death, an unexpected rescuer comes to her aid…
A forensic anthropologist, Dr. Ethan Stuart is investigating a gruesome discovery—nearly one hundred dead bodies dating back fifty years—a mystery linked to the church once headed by Mara’s father. Ethan needs Mara’s help; she needs his protection. Their search for a shocking, devastating truth could lead them to forgiveness and salvation... if they survive.

Let's be real: I read this because it's written by my girl Stacey Abrams, and as a politics writer by day, it's important that I'm informed!!!!!
I also have to be honest: I...didn't love this as much as I wanted to. The first half of the book dragged on for quiiiiite a while, and we got such an uneven characterization of Mara and Ethan; I never got a complete handle on their personalities (and all of the randomly sprinkled endearments), but I did like their young love backstory. Also, the book switched between different character POVs randomly (and without any change in page formatting or spacing, which isn't Montgomery/Abrams' fault), so I was confused at times.
That said, the back half of this novel had some super fun romantic suspense/action shenanigans, and the villain was almost cartoonish—but I liked the vibe! This one's smack dab in the middle around 2.5ish stars for me?

We absolutely read Hidden Sins because we discovered (as many romance fans did) that Selena Montgomery is a penname for Stacey Abrams. The book is a second chance romantic suspense that reunites high school sweethearts. Romantic suspense is not our favorite genre, but we found plenty of things to enjoy about this novel. Mara is now a con artist who's been seduced by her family's stories of hidden treasure. Ethan is a forensic anthropologist who has been unwittingly hired to investigate the same puzzle.
What we liked most was the diversity of the cast - including Mara's grandmother, a Black Texan woman with Japanese ancestry; Ethan's new love, a Bostonian from a Black upper-crust family; and Ethan and Mara themselves, who came from poverty to pursue vastly different careers (Ethan in academia and Mara in con artistry).
7-Word Summaries:
Laine: Third-generation con artist can’t run from love.
Meg: High school sweethearts reunite to hunt treasure.

December 23, 2022DNF at 30%, 111p so no rating. This my fourth book by this author, 2 fictions and 2 non-fiction and this one was very strange. The premise/plot were great the problem was in the confusing execution. First, the POV switches from one paragraph to the next were very confusing, you could get like 4 POVs in the same chapter or the same page... Then things were told out of order and through info-dumpy musings/flashback which made it hard to follow. We are thrown in th action, which is not a bad thing but it makes it difficult to understand what's going on. There is also the second-chance romance that could have been great but wasn't. We don't know why the woman left the man without a word 12 years prior and now he is saving her. While saving her he keeps thinking how much he loved her and still want her... Weird all around. I didn't feel like picking this book anymore even though the mystery plot could have been great and the second chance romance as well. Onto the next

The plot of this book was v national treasure meets true detective and I found myself caught up in the mystery but could not for the life of me invest in the characters and their relationship (which I think is the whole point of romance novels). The characters felt stiff and all used darling and honey far too much/much of the dialogue sounded all the same. I found myself rushing to get through the non mystery parts.That being said, I am not a visual reader and this is book gave me vivid pictures of everything, there was something incredibly tactile about all of the settings.

A fun escape and my first time reading an original Stacey Abrams romance novel which I have been wanting to do for so long!
November 22, 2020
I wasn't sure what to expect, but I wanted to read Hidden Sins by Selena Montgomery also known as Stacey Abrams, yes that Stacey Abrams, in support of the work which she did leading up to the elections in her home state of Georgia.
For me it was fun to see another side of Abrams and to know that woman who is so serious in her work can also have another side. This was a fun and entertaining Romantic Suspense. Mara Reed has always gotten by on her wits and is a bit of a con-woman. When she heads back home she literally falls into the arms of ex-flame, Ethan Stuart.
Mara is a bit of a kick and has an imaginative way of using expletives and I had to wonder if Stacey also does:
“Hexagonal hell!” she squealed. “Pas de deux!”;“Rat’s toenails!” “You four-eyed son of a two-legged jackal!”
I sure enjoyed those and enjoyed the book as well.

Not my preferred genre but I figured I'd give Stacey a chance! I prefer her work in politics 😆

This romance took 8 million years to get through (aka a week) for a variety of reasons. The dialogue and lovemaking (actual language used along with "bedmate") was cringe-worthy and reminded me of why I have always been so reluctant to pick up a romance novel. The cover already had me nervous so I should have been more prepared for the cheese factor but I was caught off guard given the author. Cringe-worthy dialogue aside many of the descriptions also felt old-fashioned and odd, "amber colored eyes" etc. The pacing of the novel was also off kilter which made it hard to focus on both the treasure plot and the romance, there also felt like there were a lot of holes missing. Ethan is an orphan and Mara has a messed up family but we don't delve into either backstory beyond cursory details. Characters are abruptly introduced and then ushered off the page never to be heard from again (her grandmother, Sebastian, anyone named in the beginning). It does seem like this might be a series but even so more details and investment in character development was needed.
The book was also not well edited I think because the point of view kept switching midway through a chapter with no warning which got confusing. Additionally Lesley deserved better and I'm also not entirely sure why the author introduced her character because it added unnecessary drama that made me unable to like Ethan. He was such a typical man who didn't know what he wanted and caused mess after mess! So I guess Mara also deserved better in that vein.
HIDDEN SINS was a miss for me, it has an intriguing premise and a badass heroine in Mara but the dialogue and character descriptions made me wince to the point where I just wanted to be done. It made a little more sense to me when I read an old interview with Abrams where she said she always wanted to write spy novels, there's a lot of action and adventure that keep you semi-interested in the treasure hunting. But the romance was a yawn and utterly unconvincing, cutesy dialogue aside. I was super curious about Stacey Abrams' romance novels (nom-de-plume Selena Montgomery) but this one missed the mark. I think I'd try reading another one of hers, maybe the one recently picked up for adaptation by CBS because I believe in second chances and she's such a good speaker/writer of non fiction.

Treasure Hunting with Kissing!
Marra and Ethan were young lovers but now they’ve been reunited by an old family legend of stolen gold. As they race against time to solve the clues and stay alive they find themselves drawn back to each other.
The suspense pacing was amazing and I loved the will they/won’t they moments of passion...and the payoff as well 🔥
My one struggle was not having any cues, in either the audio or print copy, of POV changes. I loved being in everyone’s head but sometimes it was hard to figure out we had switched heads!
I’m excited to read more by the fierce and fabulous defender of Democracy!

I started this book at about 8pm and finished it by 1:15pm to be prepared for a book club meeting later this evening. I was a little apprehensive at first because it is historical, started off slow and I had a bunch of characters to keep up with and around 11pm, it did put me to sleep. However determined not to give up, when I woke up and skimmed over the extremely intelligent, historical, geographical and Greek aspects of the book, I was able to enjoy the basic premise of story line which includes: love, romance, mystery, intrigue, relationships and learning about one's self as well as others.

3 1/2 - Selena Montgomery is Stacey Abrams' pen name, so I wanted to buy one of her books in order to support her and her work. I future, I will just donate to her campaigns. This just wasn't my cup of tea in romances. I don't mind a fade to black but I am just not a fan of the purple euphemisms in sex scenes. And one of the big plot points didn't make a lick of sense to me

This book is fun, especially if you, like me and Stacey Abrams (haha) went to Texas for grad school. It's an adventure story about some nerds (ivory tower and otherwise) who drive around in a convertible from some not-too-scary villains. There are good scenes in a tourist cave and I like (although not IRL, conflict of interest!) the idea of a husband and wife sheriff & chief of police team. I read this for a nascent book club made of friends who were all looking for something different out of this book, and going in with zero expectations except to note some things that would be interesting to talk about with friends is a nice way to go into a story.
May 2, 2021
When my book club chose “Hidden Sins” by Selena Montgomery, I was excited to learn that the badass activist Stacey Abrams is the author behind the pen name! I quickly purchased it on Kindle instead of waiting for a borrowed copy from the library.
I’ll say that most of my enjoyment was in the voyeuristic journey of peering into the imagination of someone I admire for her serious work to support Black lives and secure votes for all adult Americans.
While I like Mara’s character, I felt much of her criminal past was given to the reader as expository. I would have liked to feel more empathy via rich flashbacks instead of in generalizations told through the lens of her and Ethan’s inner musings about characterization. To clarify, it felt like she referred to her past mostly in terms of how it would disqualify her from earning his love. He judged her in this same way.
The romantic tensions dragged out and I found the back and forth between desire and disgust exhausting. Things finally got interesting when Ethan’s girlfriend Lesley showed up. Still, there was a difficult-to-believe switch to honesty and acceptance between the women. Then their true jealousy popped up. I suppose matters of the heart are messy, though.
Overall, it was an intriguing concept, but something was missing. Perhaps, it was in part the fact that Ethan seemed more like a prize than a compelling person. Maybe I wanted the treasure hunt to have more momentum than the love story. Maybe the overt sexual innuendos throughout the book made my eyes roll. And the parts where they were figuring out the code felt a little like looking over someone’s shoulder while they’re doing homework instead of pulling me in to the game and making my brain work.
If you are a romance reader, you may enjoy this book more than I did. I do have to commend Stacey Abrams for doing all the things. I’m still a huge fan!

Ehhhh. Obviously picked it up because it was Stacey Abrams, but her politics are a lot better than her writing (unless I just picked a bad one). If you told me this was a romance novel written in 2003, I would’ve believed you. It feels stuck in the past somehow to me, and romance has come so far that it really made it difficult to finish. Over-descriptors on looks in an attempt to be sexy, stilted dialogue, and random POV switches that made it hard to follow. Too much story at times for the tone. Honestly only finished because I wanted to say I read one of her books.

A very good read!
I simply adore Selena Montgomery-Ms. Abrams' smooth, sultry style of writing. This is the second novel I have read by this author. I enjoyed both very much! I plan to read all of this author's books because they are a of a high quality level and fun to read. The Audible version is as good as the book. I recommend both.

I love Stacey Abrams but this book, not so much. It was darker than I expected and I didn't appreciate the love triangle, Ethan came off as a jerk trying to have his cake and eat it. I liked Mara as a character and the math-based mystery but the whole thing didn't come together for me.

Stacey Abrams is amazing at everything she does. What a book! ❤️

Can't stop. Won't stop. Romance novels are the escapism we all deserve right now. Selena Montgomery..wink wink.. does it right.
April 14, 2022
Really enjoyed this romantic suspense. There was a treasure hunt element to it, with the main couple hopping from clue to clue, and I love a good treasure hunt. I thought that there was a good balance of the suspense plot and the romance plot, with each one being fully formed. All the characters are flawed and real, and I liked them despite their mistakes.
August 2, 2021
A good romance with a historical heist and a treasure hunt filled with danger and reunion of high school sweethearts. A very fun summer beach read.
August 5, 2020
If you’re like me and thought this was your average romance novel, I’d suggest reading the synopsis/summary so you don’t get immediately confused and turned off to the point of almost not finishing the book by the prologue. It is an adventure style romance which I ended up loving. It did feel like the book lacked some actual romance which definitely brought my rating down.
March 30, 2021
I wanted to like this more than I did (The author! The rep! The treasure hunting subplot! The quasi-Nora Roberts vibe! The portrayal of a forensic anthropologist who isn’t a an antisocial weirdo or a Mary Sue!) but somehow it turned into a slog towards the end.

Great Mystery/Thriller
I thoroughly enjoyed HIDDEN SINS. This genre is a real departure for a reader who is typically all about nonfiction, true stories and historic fiction. I was immediately fascinated about a story about searching for a lost treasure. I was intrigued by the fact that most of the characters were not your typical good people in search of treasure, but a group of edgy characters who stole the treasure, then buried it. The main character is also a little shady in search of her grandfather’s heist. The characters were very well developed and the story has all the ingredients to keep you coming back for more. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to any reader looking for a good mystery and or a diversion from there normal choices.

Hidden Sins
Interesting Read fro beginning to end. The characters were both intriguing and entertaining. A well written mystery with a love story within. A just end to Reese and his relatives.

January 15, 2021I'm literally making this face right now:
:X
... :X
and like ... *cringe* look.
I ... this narrator was not my favorite but she was okay but I'm not sure if ... so like the fact that I noticed it maybe plays a slight part?
But like also :X
were it not written by Selena Montgomery aka Stacey Abrams aka a modern day hero of our democracy... :X >.> I probably would've DNF'd it.
Seriously. It takes something like 90% of the book for the main characters to not hate each other?
I might've laughed at the beginning at their OUTRAGEOUSLY wrong assumptions of each other but the thing is ... they weren't joking. :X
She thinks he's maybe a murderer/serial killer - WHICH - TBH understandable since in his house/workshop there are a bunch of dead bodies.
Which also? She's like ... INCREEEEEDDIBLY CHILL about it.
And even knowing he's a forensic anthropologist? Like... LIVING above it?
Even "Bones" like ... well, so I don't know if she would've lived above them. But :X
And ... he LEGIT thinks she's a prostitute.
Which was a pretty fucking major jump from nothing. [Asshole.] Which look - if you choose to be a prostitute, and are not forced into it, more power to you. The issue is when dude [here, our hero ... "hero" - looks at her and is like "well she must be a whore" and is super shitty to her because of it.]
... Ass.
THEN ALSO - yes. YES! She did him wrong when they were kids. And didn't tell him ... which makes sense.... I was kinda annoyed she didn't just straight up tell him WHY when they first met again - but then again he was super shitty to her so I get not wanting to flay yourself open - especially to someone you secretly love so what they say/think matters more and cuts more deeply - but like ... ugh. Because it then perpetuates the misunderstanding.
And the two of them keep not opening up and perpetuating misunderstandings and being super shity to each other for again - something like close to 90% of the book.
:|
The hidden treasure part was really cool.
Also - TBH ... I'm glad I read Sebastian's book first - because his cameos were super great and ... I liked seeing him and it made THIS book better.
The whole O_o her dad. Like... omfg.
I also feel like the random gravesite was ... super glossed over?
Of course I don't know TX laws and rules but like ... WHAT.
It was ... kinda whiplash brainmelt for how ... not BORING but ... [dull/ugh] so much of the book was and then the "!!!! OMFG WTF" stuff that was just ~glossed over. Like "oh hey there were all these dead bodies in the land and then also he's got dead bodies in his first floor room but it's cool nbd and she gets shot and it's nbd too" and like WHAT.
Also with ... everything in the real world going on maybe I missed stuff? I don't think so but like - the "baddies" were... IDEK
And Linda - the friend not friend/former frenemy.
And Leslie - I kinda would like Leslie to have a book. (Maybe she does but it's not an audiobook I can get from Hoopla so T_T) - I still want the other 3rd book in the ATL series more...
ANYWAY.
I just... maybe it was timing but this book was ... :X
Look I'm not MAD I read it. ... >.> but I'm maybe a tiny bit very low key "mad."
Arrrgghhh
yeah no I don't want to rate it.
But if I were to grade it ... D++?

Loved the storyline! A woman right on the outside of the law but a heart of gold and her one true love who is as straight as an arrow reunite. All hell breaks loose. But what happens is the demons of the past help the couple find closure and love.

Excellent read
Excellent read, I loved the storyline and characters. Ethan and Mara are long lost loves, who stumbled upon each other after twelve years. This book is a hunt to find a treasure, it has mystery, intrigue and romance. I recommend this book.
