This
has to be the most badass heroine that I have ever read. She was kicking butt from left to right and
didn't apologize for it neither.
Anyways, welcome to my review of Hidden Hearts which is a thriller,
romance about a PI and a hot detective on the hunt for two missing women. The PI is a hot headed blonde by the name of
Holly and she is on the hunt for a woman who has been missing for weeks. The hot detective that I mentioned earlier is
Jack and he is also on the hunt for a woman who has come up missing, but his
situation is a little bit personal.
After finding himself on his back due to being flipped by Holly because
of his ninja moves, Jack teams up with her after finding out that their two
victims may have been taken by the same man.
Holly and Jack find themselves falling in love in the midst of searching
for these missing women and we are left with two people learning to love and
trust again.
First
off, I was genuinely invested in the story and I really wanted Jack and Holly
to find the maniac that took these women.
What a task that the author took on by writing a thriller and inputting
some romance to keep me satisfied.
Honestly, thriller romances are not my Mo, but I took a chance on this
book because I had recently read a book by this author and it was awesome.!! I
thought to myself, "Why not take a chance?"', so I did and I am proud
of my decision. Holly, as a character, was interesting and I loved how the
author mentioned her past and connecting it to the present. She was dealt a bad hand during her childhood
and those experiences have shaped her into the fierce goddess that she is
now. I really felt for Holly because her
past was tragic and she had the insane super hero complex and took loss really
hard. I really liked the flip when he
came the Holly and Jack's relationship.
Holly is a female character who was broody and those are usually the
characteristics of the hero in military books.
I enjoyed that switch when it came to the hero and the heroine. Jack was the cool and collected character in
the story and he balanced Holly out big time. He had such a huge heart and he
was willing to put everything on the line for Holly and the case. There were some side characters and they
contributed to the story in an important way and I always appreciate it when an
author does not spend too much time on the side characters.
I
really do not have any negative besides how infuriating Holly could be at
times. She was very tough and stubborn
on top of that. Holly spent half of the story fighting her feelings for Jack
and fighting her demons as well. I'm
really just nitpicking here because the book was great. In contrast, there was
little bit of a pacing issue, but it added to the thrill of the story.
There
was a race of finding these women and the story had so many layers . When the truth is revealed, it is dramatic,
surprising, and a page turner for sure.
I loved the characters and I loved how the story unfolded. I recommend
this story with some tea and blanket. Go pick it up.!!
