So far I have read everything from Amish stories to Historical tales plus contemporary novels and sometimes even some mystery and suspense \u2013 all of which contain at least one romantic relationship. I have been a fan of Robin\u2019s books since I first read some of her early Love Inspired Suspense novels. Since then she has gone on to write excellent full-length suspense novels that I make sure to obtain asap. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1426773609\">Hidden in the Stars<\/a> is Robin\u2019s contribution to the <em><strong>Quilts of Love<\/strong> <\/em>series and is a fine example of her versatility.<\/p>\n<p>The somewhat pastel colors of the cover of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1426773609\">Hidden in the Stars<\/a> might trick the reader into thinking this novel is just a sweet romance. Never fear! Robin has woven her usual brilliant suspenseful mystery complete with some dastardly characters in which a quilt plays a major role. And let\u2019s not forget the romance. Sparks fly between Sophia, victim of a brutal attack that killed her mother and investigating detective Julian. Although both of them feel a strong attraction, they decide it is just a reaction resulting from the aftermath of such a devastating crime. Could it be true love?<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed learning a bit about ballet and gymnastic training. I also liked seeing Julian\u2019s perspective of the investigation. Most of all, I just loved having another novel by Robin Caroll in my hands. My only complaint is that it was over too soon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>This book was provided for review by LitFuse Publicity.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A quilt holds the secret to a killer still at large\u2014and who his next victim will be.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Following an attack that killed her mother and stole her ability to speak, 21?year?old Sophia Montgomery has no choice but to accept her estranged grandmother\u2019s offer to return to their family home. Although detective Julian Frazier is working hard on the case, Sophia unknowingly frustrates him because her inability to speak thwarts her eyewitness evidence. The fact that Julian is undeniably attracted to Sophia doesn\u2019t help either, so Julian hides his feelings as concern for a trauma victim and focuses instead on finding the killer.<\/p>\n<p>Little do they know, the clues to solving the case may be right in front of them, displayed in Sophia\u2019s mother\u2019s \u201cspecial\u201d quilt design.
