Then You Hide by Roxanne St. ClaireMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Then You Hide is the 5th book in the series and continues the search for the three sisters that were sold as babies to reunite them with their birthmother, which started in the previous book, #4 First You Run.
Bullet Catcher Wade Cordell is assigned to finding the second sister, Vanessa Porter, the successful NYC workaholic, who is on her own mission in the Caribbean to find her missing BFF, Clive someone or other who also happens to work with her.
Lots of things happen to the two on the Caribbean islands.....bad guys shooting at them, killers on the loose, twists and turns and some unexpected surprises.
Despite the exotic settings and the suspense and action, this was not as good as some of the others in the series.
One of the problems I had with this story was the heroine. She drove me absolutely up the wall...for someone who is supposedly super- smart - she does some pretty stupid things......
It's a miracle that she never gets bumped off by the baddies!!!! She started off a bit iffy for me....I guess I could say that I did warm up ...just a bit...to her in the end.
Of course her life is saved time and time again by the hero, sexy southern man Wade. Let me say, that I found him very sweet and sexy........but somehow I couldn't feel the chemistry between these two..........their sex scenes together were just...lukewarm.
So, in conclusion:
the romance....weak
the plot/suspense/mystery/action...good
locations/settings.... fabulous
characters.....hero... good....heroine...... okay....secondary character...Vanessa's travelling companion...the Jewish mama was totally.... fabulous!!!
pacing.... a bit too slow at times
It wasn't a bad book in the series...........just not amazing!!
