Hideaway Cove by Anna Sullivan #review

Hideaway Cove, a Windfall Island Novel, features Jessi Randal a woman who has just walked away from her last relationship with a child and a broken heart. Years later the last thing this single mother wants is to give Windfall Island anything more to gossip about. Yet the moment she lays eyes on the tall, sexy stranger with the slow Southern drawl she knows that she is in trouble.

Holden Aboot is on the island to find the missing heir to the Stanhope family fortune. It is his job to charm as many secrets out of the town residents as possible. If he can charm Jessi even better. When all of the evidence points to Jessi as the heir a dangerous enemy sets his sights on Jessi and her son. Now Holden will have to risk everything to protect the family he has come to love.

Hideaway Cove is a suspenseful novel that had me stumped and guessing who the heir is and who is trying to hurt Jessi throughout the novel. The plot line was intense at times and although it is a romance novel the romance is only one factor in this lovely story. I loved how the relationship between Jessi and Holden develops over time as Jessi protects her child from being heart broken. The bonds that Holden forms with her and her child is incredible to read (he becomes a strong father figure in their life something he never pictured for himself!).

Rating: 4/5
