Hide in Plain Sight - Book Beginnings on Friday and The Friday 56

1962291
     In Hide in Plain Sight a family emergency brings Andrea Hampton from Philadelphia to rural Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. But Andrea has no intention of staying around to help her grandmother and sister get their bed and breakfast running. Her life is back in the city.
      Cal Burke "just wanted to be alone with his anger and his guilt." He has become fond of Andrea's family and now rents their barn for his furniture building business, but why did he quit practicing law?
      This is a "Love Inspired" inspirational romance, but the author doesn't preach, which I appreciate. It is a well-written, entertaining story with likable characters and a good plot.

Book Beginning:
     She had to get to the hospital. Andrea Hampton's fingers tightened on the steering wheel as that call from the Pennsylvania State Police replayed in her mind in an endless loop. Her sister had been struck by a hit-and-run driver while walking along a dark country road--like this one. They didn't know how badly she was injured.

Friday 56 (from 56% on my Kindle):
     A quick jerk of his hand pulled her close to him, and he lowered his head to speak so no one could hear. "A few of the old-timers don't like the idea of another inn opening, increasing the tourist traffic in town."

    1. It does! I enjoy reading almost all levels of "heat" in the romance genre. Since this book is inspirational, there's no sex or profanity.

  3. Thanks so much for mentioning my book, Sandra. And I appreciate the mention of A Recipe for Romance. It's just out this week, and all the proceeds from sales will go to children's charities, so I'm especially excited about this project.

  11. Hi Sandra,

    This sounds like the kind of journey that no-one wants to make, especially as it sounds as though Andrea is travelling alone, with just her thoughts and worries for company.

    I love the hint of menace in your 56. I wonder if Andrea is going to stand for this kind of veiled threat or not!

    Thanks for sharing your excerpts this week and I am pleased that you enjoyed the book,

    Yvonne
