Kota's Review

I have not read Victoria Michaels before…  I am pretty sure that I will again.  What a story!

In Concealed (Hidden #1) we meet Sydney Ross and her 6 year old daughter Faith.  They have located to the small rural town of Elton and have managed to make connections and a life for themselves after living an itinerant lifestyle.

Sydney and Faith’s lifestyle was dictated by events many years prior.  These events were traumatic and life changing, but once they settle in Elton, it seems that life is letting them slow down and stabilise a little.

Sydney is a sweet young girl (early 20’s) who makes choices based on her need to provide and protect her daughter.  Faith is a vibrant, smart and adorable little girl who grabs your heart in her fist and doesn’t let it go.  With some help from a dear but meddling friend, Sydney takes a chance to explore some mutual interest between herself and the town Sherriff, Wade Jenkins.  The tension between these two is palpable, so when they finally connect – it seems perfect…  but is it?  Can it really ever work?

Life takes a turn for the unexpected when there is a murder in the small town..  What follows is an unravelling of a life story that has you holding your breath, praying for good things, and feeling empathy for all involved.

Ms Michaels wrote a story that gripped me, clearly it has romance, but this is a thriller/suspense story first and foremost, and has you guessing to the end.  Although there are elements that are very cliché and appear to have been told before – at no point did this completely detract for this story.  I was engaged with the characters and cheering for the good guys and the Happy Ever After…  The writing style and tone were well executed.  There are a few editorial errors in the ARC and hopefully they have been caught before publish was hit!  I can also understand the path this story took based on the plot, however I think some more depth to the backstory (ie: How Sydney managed to carve a life out for them in the previous locations etc) would have added to the thriller element of this story – and let the adrenaline pump that bit harder when we reached the plot climax.

I am rating Concealed 4 hearts.  It was Really Good – if you like your Romance pure but tense… and you like your drama filled with suspense… you will enjoy this story!  Be careful though…  The prologue jumps out with a bang!

Excerpt

As soon as I wake up, I feel a hangover creeping over me. After we won four awards, we did what rock bands do best. There are certain parts of last night where my memories are fuzzy. God only knows how I managed to make it back to my hotel room. 

The bed shifts beside me and I stop rubbing my hands over my face. I peek through my fingers, I see blonde hair sprawled out on the pillow next to mine. I hold back a groan of frustration. 

Fuck! 

So I guess I spent another night having drunk and meaningless sex. Yet another one night stand. It may be hard to believe, but I don't want this anymore, girl after girl with no strings or any kind future. It's not me anymore, it's boring.

I'd love for the blonde hair to turn bright red and the random girl would be replaced with the girl I miss so much. A girl who left me four years ago, Kendal Moore. Even her name makes my dick twitch. She was so sexy with a body that had the most delicious curves I've ever seen. Kendal had beautiful big blue eyes and creamy skin that was so smooth. I had the most amazing sex with her. We would have each other anywhere and any time we wanted. We were crazy about each other, and with Kendal sex was never meaningless. Each time was better than the last.

Here I am four years later, she's not even here and my dick is rock hard at just the thought of her. Kendal is the girl that got away, actually, she sort of ran away.

Author: Kate Roth

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: December 30, 2013

Hosted by: Love Between the Sheets Promotions

Synopsis

Suddenly named the acting president of her uncle’s record label, former pop princess Sabrina Walker is finally ready to grow up. While her professional life moves forward, she still clings to the last fragment of her past life in the form of an uncertain relationship with her manager, Beau. When Sabrina hires handsome, young assistant, Wade Lawson, he awakens in her the hidden confidence she’s always desired. What starts as a casual affair quickly intensifies to something much more. Sabrina must decide—return to the familiar life of an insecure one-hit-wonder, or embrace Wade and the woman his passion has helped reveal. Natural Harmony is a stand-alone, adult contemporary romance and the first in the Confession Records collection.   

   

Excerpt

His ears perked at the sound of clicking high heels coming down the hall and it wasn’t too long before she was in view. Wade wanted to breathe normally, he really did, but it was impossible looking at her. Her strut was enough to give him a stroke. She had a perfect hourglass shape and she wore the right clothes for it. Her curves were like the deliberate paint strokes of an artist. Beautiful. Her gentle brunette waves of hair gleamed auburn under lights and seemed to bounce with her steps just as her ample chest did. When she saw him at the desk a smile overtook her heart-shaped face. Her lips could’ve been drawn by Disney they were so damn perfect. And the sweetest smattering of freckles across her nose and cheeks was enough to do him in. She’s your boss, he told himself. He’d been telling himself that since the minute he walked into the interview on Friday. He spent the weekend psyching himself up for seeing her again. She’s just pretty, he’d said to the bathroom mirror, you’ve known plenty of pretty women. But she wasn’t just pretty. She wasn’t just anything. She was stunning. And not to mention … she was Sabra. “Good morning!” Sabrina said cheerily as she came up to the front of his desk. She had two paper cups in her hands and she sat one in front of him. “I didn’t know your drink order so I just got you what I like—Americano.” He opened his mouth but no words came out. He touched the warm cup and smiled. “Shouldn’t I be the one getting you coffee?” he asked. “Eh, someday.” She smiled before popping into her office. Someday, he thought.

Kota's Review

Kate Roth has written this story, a stand-alone contemporary romance in the Confessions Records collection.  The music biz, clearly is the place to want to be..  In Natural Harmony we meet Sabrina, former teen pop star and niece of the president/owner of Confessions records.

Circumstances mean that Sabrina is thrust into a very different professional role – so how will she cope?  She hires a new assistant Wade Lawson, who helps her to see some alternative perspectives on things and Sabrina surpasses expectations.

One significant issue holding Sabrina back is her relationship with her Manager, Beau Harris.  What will happen with the dynamics of these characters and how will this story unfold?

This story is really sweet.  It is my first Kate Roth book and I thoroughly enjoyed her writing style.  I found the first half of this book flew by, the story was engaging, the tension building nicely, the characters started growing rapidly on me – and before I knew it I had read ½ the book.  The second half however, where there was a little more effort with the characters gaining substance and relationships developing, plots twisting and more of the heated scenes, I found the book begin to drag a little.  Nothing to drastic, it just took me longer to get through it and I my mind didn’t seem as engaged.  

Now don’t get me wrong – this is a sweet book with a happy ending, it has sexual tension, steamy scenes, jealous guys, a fun storyline, entertaining characters, well written and easy to read.  This story lacked for me in elements of the professional side of the characters, which I think if given more depth would have provided a better platform for many of the storylines.  I found the story superficial rather than gripping.  Natural Harmony will get 3 ½ hearts – it’s a good story – if you want sweet and lovely, with some steam – you’ll love it!
