A family ranch in Big Sur country and a legacy of Hollywood royalty set the stage for Nora Roberts’ emotional new suspense novel. Caitlyn Sullivan, a daughter of Hollywood royalty, was already a star at ten, but still loved to play hide-and-seek with her cousins at the family home in Big Sur. It was during one of those games that she disappeared. Despite her glamorous background, Cate was a shrewd, scrappy survivor, and she managed to escape her abductors. Dillon Cooper was shocked to find the bruised and terrified girl huddled in his ranch house kitchen—but when the teenager and his family heard her story they provided refuge and comfort, reuniting her with her loved ones. Cate’s ordeal, though, was far from over. First came the discovery of a betrayal that would send someone she’d trusted to prison. Then there were years away in Ireland, sheltered and protected but with restlessness growing in her soul. Then, finally, she returned to Los Angeles, hoping to act again and get past the trauma that had derailed her life. What she didn’t yet know was that two seeds had been planted that long-ago night—one of a great love, and one of a terrible vengeance…

I’ve been a huge Nora Roberts for a while now. I just love everything she writes.  The books she has written under her own name or a pseudonym, it doesn’t matter I enjoy it all. So when I received an ARC of Hideaway I got super excited. And when I could I started reading asap.

In ‘Hideaway’ we meet Caitlyn Sullivan. Caitlyn is the daughter of Hollywood royalty. She comes from a close family filled with actors. And although her family is rich and pretty privileged, day never take things for granted. But one day when Caitlyn is ten years old, she got kidnapped during a game of hide and seek. That game changed her life and things never got back to how they where before. In this book we follow Caitlyn’s life from the day she got kidnapped to life in her twenties. After escaping her kidnappers, she had to life with her fears and the betrayal.

What I love about Nora Roberts writing is the way she always creates a completely new family saga in only a view chapters. I went from not knowing the Sullivan family, to knowing several generations. And I loved getting to know this family. It was fun to read about this Hollywood family filled with award winning actor. It was definitely something new and I enjoyed it.

Although this book contains some suspense throughout the whole book, it was the first part that held the most suspense. We learn early on who Caitlyn kidnapper was, and although I didn’t mind that at all.. It did make the other suspense a little less thrilling in my opinion.

The romance in this book was definitely nice too. I figured out who would be Caitlyn’s love interest early on, and I loved reading when that romance would develop. It isn’t the main focus of this book though, and although I love my books to have lots of romance I didn’t mind it not being the main focus at all.

‘Hideaway’ was a fun and entertaining read that I definitely enjoyed. I don’t think it’s Nora Roberts best work. But it really was fun.
