Reseñas de la Crítica

“Two endearing heroines and their poignant storylines of love lost and found make this the perfect book for an afternoon on the back porch with a glass of sweet tea.” (Karen White, New York Times best-selling author)

Heartbreaking and heartwarming!!

Enjoyed it all, easy to follow, easy listening, I have always loved old Skelton type keys! Gives them a new meaning.

I love the story line

I could do listening after the first few pages. The characters are magical and mix well

Sweet but predictable

I couldn’t warm up to the narrator. It’s a sweet, predictable story with not much character development.

Heart warming feel good story!

Loved the narration which gave a great feel to the whole book! Cute story with some twists to keep us guessing!

Great story but....

I really enjoyed this story until they tried to send their "trans" message into the story! Sarah is with friends at dinner when "he left to go to the girls room" had to be inserted! No I will not accept men in the bathroom. Would have received 4 stars. I replayed it to make sure that's what she said.

Lovely story well told heartwarming

The narration was Excellent the story was heartwarming and bittersweet good ending
I recommend this book

Great vacation read

I always look for “sit on the beach” reads and this did not disappoint. Easy peaceful reading! Thank you!

What a lovely story

This book was so detailed in description I could almost feel the once familiar warmth and humidity of the south. The reader did a wonderful job with the Drawl of the south through each of the lovely characters, telling the story of a strong woman finding her way, friendships and of course love found and lost.

Perfect summer read

I loved the characters in “The Hideaway”. The way that the author developed the characters made me want the story to never end!

Being a native, I loved it!

Love this author, and narrator! Being from the area I could relate to Sweet Bay.
