This is a great mystery story. I had the unabridged audio tape and I found myself hating to get out of the car. It is a book that had a great story without the bad language and raw sex scenes. I wish more mystery writers would take this approach and focus on great writing that leaves you hanging on until the final chapter. It was an excellent book. I hope this writer will continue to write all these lines. She shows you can write good books without the filth thrown in. 6 stars for Ms. Green.

This was the first book of hers I read and it is the best book. Here is a breif rundown of what the book is about. Kates husband Tony is in the FBI and is killed. Her life is threatened, so the FBI gives her a new life and a new husband (Mark Iverson). She marries Mark and the both assume new identities in a new town with some FUN and intersting neighbors. They must find a way to keep eachother alive and solve a mystery. This book is so much fun and a great love story. After you read it you will want to read more of Betsys books. Definaly read this book before you read (Above Suspision). Kate & Mark Iverson along with the ladies from Haggerty are in that book too. They are also in (Until Proven Guilty), but not as much. Hope this helps.

I fully enjoyed every moment in the book. It made me laugh a lot at the humorous side..It made me hold on as i turned page after page to find out what was going to happen. I stayed up til late at night until i finally made myself go to sleep saying i'll enjoy it more in the morning, and not being able to sleep because i wanted to turn the light back on and read more...It was a great romance as well..It had my heart pounding through out the whole thing. That was my favorite part. It wasn't over done either. Just enough to make me happy. I loved it. Good job to Betsy. I hope to see more in the future!

I loved this book. The characters Kate and Mark were great. I loved reading about them and their romance. Really great book. Suspenseful too.

Betsy Green is a wonderful, talented author who should not stop now. Terrific page turner that won't let you stop till the end. Two thumbs way way up for this gifted author.

This book was a great book and I enjoyed reading it very much. I loved the characters, they were very endearing and immeadiatly likeable. Kate and Mark were thrown together in very odd circumstances but they coped very well. The book was also not all about the mystery, and there were quite a few lighthearted moments in it. It was a good combonation of romance and suspense and a tale about small-town life. Miss Eugenia was the funniest charecter I've read about in quite a while, but I liked her a lot for all her odd quirkyness. She was so much of a mother / grandmother to Kate when she really needed someone and couldn't be in touch with her real family. And it is obviously an LDS story, but it is not overpowering in religious message and someone who was not LDS could read it without becoming really annoyed. But for me, (I am LDS), It was a nice element and made the characters more real real for me. There were serveral very suprising twists in the book that I did not see coming and I was unable to put the book down, and read it in one sitting. I highly recommend Hearts in Hiding to anyone who wants a very good, clean, exciting read.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was very well written and truly a page-turner. I liked the mystery, the romance, the humor and the flow of the story.

Hearts in Hiding, is an Excellent book, not only does Betsy keep you guessing all the time, this book is so good you never want to put it down, I have read all her books through CD, I crochet while listening to them, I love Miss Eugenias Character, and I love the way she brings all her Characters to life. And you really get to know the characters in her books

I found Betsy Brannon Green as a rec for romantic suspense and gave her book a try. For a first Green read, it was pretty good. I like that she doesn't use foul language and doesn't give every explicit detail to her romance. But I wish she'd given just a little more to her romance. It's clean romance, which is good, but it's almost a little too squeaky clean for me. I mean the marriage is later official, but it still seemed like a jr. high romance to me. Like I said, I'm glad the romance is not explicit, but a little more intensity to the romance would have been nice.
The only other problem I have is that it's supposed to be a suspense, but it wasn't that suspenseful to me, except for the kidnapping. The rest of the time, it never felt like she was really in danger, and you almost forget that's why she moves with a new identity in the first place. I found more humor to her book than anything else. The funniest line in the whole book came when Mark tried to store the buckets of wheat in the closet and decides not to because of what's in the closet. That was hilarious. If you want to know, read the book.
I still liked the story and the plot enough, and feel Green is a pretty good writer. I'll definitely be giving more of her books a try.
4/5

I enjoyed this book in general but I was turned off by the main character's tendency to be rude to her neighbor when she turned down the tea that was offered and when her neighbor was hesitant to join the Mormon Church. The neighbor became her best friend. But in real life I'm not so sure that would have been the case.
But the story was interesting and had fun twists and turns and the characters were well drawn and usually very likeable. So other then my pet peeve, I would recommend this book to Mormon friends.
