Mystery writer JT has hidden away from the world on his private island since he published his first novel. Many fans believe it’s because he’s strange or eccentric, but the truth is much darker than everyone knows.
After Emma’s very public, very nasty breakup with one of Hollywood’s hottest actors, she needs a friend to lean on. After hitting it off with JT while filming his movie, she takes him up on his offer to let her stay at his secluded place to recover. She hadn’t planned on her troubles following her there, or on being completely charmed by the man.

My Rating: 4 stars
I was easily swept up in the romance and mystery of Hidden Charm, even though I have not yet read the earlier books. While I don’t recommend jumping into the fourth book of a series, I wasn’t lost at all and found what I needed to know easily within this story. Yet, now I have to go back and start from the beginning because I have questions that only the entire story will tell me… but that’s my personal reading quirk.
JT and Emma’s story is full of so many emotions – friendship, attraction, trust, closeness and that attraction that keeps growing as they spend time together on JT’s island home. I believed in their reality, and that is important to me in accepting what happens within a book. There is the ongoing mystery of JT’s sister’s murder, a few twists that I didn’t see coming and some very real danger for one or both of them… time spent in this story will tell you that answer.
I’m actually looking forward to reading Hidden Charm again after I finish the first three stories in this series. Why? Because, for me, the overall series tells a different story than just one book out of a series – and now I’m hooked on understanding it from the start. I’ll probably pick up small nuances the second time around when I’ve experienced the others’ stories.
If you’re in the mood for a believable romance, a touch of danger, definitely puzzles to put together and an intense world, then I’d recommend Hidden Charm to any Romance reader. I enjoyed my time in this story, liked the characters and loved the way Ms Sanders makes this world of hers come alive. Hard to ask for more than that in a good romance. Check it out for yourself.
*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*
