About this ebook

"Reading Hideaway is like a mini vacation, as Roberts transports you from the sun-drenched mountains of Big Sur to the rolling hills of Ireland to the bustling streets of New York City." - Associated Press

A family ranch in Big Sur country and a legacy of Hollywood royalty set the stage for Nora Roberts’ emotional new suspense novel, Hideaway.

Caitlyn Sullivan had come from a long line of Hollywood royalty, stretching back to her Irish immigrant great-grandfather. At nine, she was already a star—yet still an innocent child who loved to play hide and seek with her cousins at the family home in Big Sur. It was during one of those games that she disappeared.

Some may have considered her a pampered princess, but Cate was in fact a smart, scrappy fighter, and she managed to escape her abductors. Dillon Cooper was shocked to find the bloodied, exhausted girl huddled in his house—but when the teenager and his family heard her story they provided refuge, reuniting her with her loved ones.

Cate’s ordeal, though, was far from over. First came the discovery of a shocking betrayal that would send someone she’d trusted to prison. Then there were years spent away in western Ireland, peaceful and protected but with restlessness growing in her soul.

Finally, she would return to Los Angeles, gathering the courage to act again and get past the trauma that had derailed her life. What she didn’t yet know was that two seeds had been planted that long-ago night—one of a great love, and one of a terrible vengeance...

Ratings and reviews

I'm not giving the book a 5 star rating but Nora herself. While I love her books, I really hate the drag of back story that takes up half a book. Call me impatient, I guess, but I like to get to the story itself. With that said this book and a few others of hers I could not really get into. But otherwise she is a fabulous writer. And if you can get through the frivolous back story then they are certainly worth reading.

The writer dragged this story out to the point of boredom. I fell asleep several times trying to read it. I would not recommend paying 15.00 plus for this book. Normally, Nora Robert's is a good writer. I love the JD Robbs series.

I enjoyed the story line, but it ruins the read for me with so many filthy words. It is offensive to me and isn't necessarily.
