Even if readers suspect that all romantic roads will lead to Dillon, it sure takes a long time getting there. I fell in love with the Sullivans, but the story, unfortunately while fleshing out a lot of background and getting Caitlyn to the next phase of her life, seems to go on too long and without too much direction.Ĭaitlyn first meets a teen-aged Dillon and his family on that fateful night when the light in the dark was his family’s farm and he discovered a distraught ten-year-old cowering in the kitchen.
The story meanders while Caitlyn moves to New York, experiments with boys, and discovers herself. Once she’s back in Southern California, she joins the family business and suddenly she’s getting a storm of media attention and threatening phone calls in the middle of the night. Not everyone is happy with the outcome, but sleeping dogs lie while Caitlyn grows into a beautiful young woman on her family’s estate in Ireland.
Roberts is such a fabulous writer, and readers can feel Caitlyn’s determination, fear, and pain as she stumbles in the dark until she sees a light shining in that darkness, promising safety. She manages to fool her kidnappers and successfully escape from captivity and put together the necessary facts to point the finger at the insider who engineered the attempt. The star is Caitlyn Sullivan, who might have been born into Hollywood royalty and treated like a princess, but she sure is brave and resourceful. This story kicks off with so much promise and an absolutely wonderfully diverse set of characters. Veena’s review of Hideaway by Nora Roberts
