Hide & Seek

For anyone who enjoys a good Christian Romance, this book is great. Good story line, fun and entertaining. Catherine Palmner is an excellent author and her books are well worth reading.

After I had read Finders Keepers and finished it I could not wait to get started on this one. I laughed and cried throughout the book. It is a excellient book I would recommend it to anyone.

This is a very different romance book, from what I've read in the past. The female lead character Darcy actually was in jail for 6 years and of course became a christian there, after they let her out of jail she moves to a small town to start over her life. Very unusual, I've never read about a lead female character in a romance book, being in jail and learning how to move on. I really liked reading it because its very different, and the romance part of it is good too.

I picked up this book because it was billed as the sequel to "Finders Keepers" but it isn't a sequel in my definition. The main characters in "Finders Keepers" are relegated to minor characters in this book and the focus is on Luke Easton and Darcy. What struck me in this book was the situation Ruby McCann. Without giving it away, once you finish the book, and you reflect on the series as a whole, some of Ruby's actions in "Finders Keepers" will make some sense. The bitterness that Will feels toward Darcy for the murder of his son, no matter how justified, illustrates how hate and vengeance can twist a person's personality and soul. Buck shows Darcy that even the worse things in a person can be redeemed. Through Luke, Darcy realizes that there are men in the world who are decent and loving; and Darcy shows Luke that it's ok to crawl out from under the burden of grief. This was a good book, and I would recommend it to anyone, although you should read "Finders Keepers" first, I don't think it's a requirement--none of the true surprises in "Finders Keepers" are given away in "Hide & Seek."

I really enjoyed the sequel to Finders Keepers. Darcy's past was different from most characters that you read about. It was neat that she was able to over come her past and try to go on. Most main characters you read about if they ever were in jail, it was because they were wrongly accused. Rarely, do you find a christian romance where the woman was put in jail for a murder she really did commit. I also liked that Buck was able to realize what she wanted and why, and tried to keep his father from harassing Darcy. I would advise to read Finder's Keepers before reading this one. It will help to understand some of the minor characters better.
