MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just when Harper has settled in well at Derrick\u2019s grandfather\u2019s home in Maryland and she and the old man are becoming quite close, the author kicks the story up a notch and sends them on the run after the particularly disturbing events of one evening. It is evident that someone is out to get Harper or at least point the finger at her for murder and she can think of nothing but protecting Red. Derrick is beginning to show his true colors and Harper does not trust him \u2013 even with his own grandfather. As they hide out in a small New Hampshire town, their landlord finds himself becoming involved with Harper and Red against his better judgement.<\/p>\n

Although the first book in this series left readers with a serious cliffhanger, the author does not disappoint in the fast-paced Beauty in Hiding<\/strong><\/em>. Action and danger abound as Harper does everything she can to keep herself and Red safe. It\u2019s also fun to watch a romance develop between Harper and Jack despite their best efforts to avoid it.<\/p>\n

Great suspense series that had its hold on me by this second installment. Once again \u2013 get the entire series before you begin reading because you will not want to stop until the end.<\/p>\n

Book 2 in the Beauty in Flight series: <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\"\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Harper\u2019s second chance at life will become a second stint in prison if anyone connects those two dead men to her. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Nutfield, New Hampshire, is as good a place as any to hide from the murderer Harper left behind in Maryland. All she has to do is lie low and make enough money to keep herself and Red alive until she can figure out who her enemies are.<\/p>\n

Jack Rossi isn\u2019t sure what to make of his beautiful new tenant and her confused grandfather. Something\u2019s not right, but the love he sees between them and the care she takes of the old man convinces Jack they\u2019re trustworthy. As drawn as he is to Harper, she\u2019s his tenant, so she\u2019s off limits.<\/p>\n

Derrick, Harper\u2019s ex-boyfriend and Red\u2019s grandson, needs to find his grandfather and get his hands on the old man\u2019s money before Derrick ends up with a bullet in the skull. And when he gets his hands on Harper, she\u2019ll be sorry for what she\u2019s put him through.<\/p>\n

Harper and Jack grow closer, but so do her enemies. If Harper can\u2019t trust Jack with the truth, she may lose more than just this glimpse of true love. She may lose her freedom\u2014or her life.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Aside from her family and her Savior, Robin Patchen<\/strong> has two loves\u2014writing and traveling. If she could combine them, she\u2019d spend a lot of time sitting in front of her laptop at sidewalk cafes and ski lodges and beachside burger joints. She\u2019d visit every place in the entire world\u2014twice, if possible\u2014and craft stories and tell people about her Savior. Alas, time is too short and money is too scarce for Robin to traipse all over the globe, even if her husband and kids wanted to go with her. So she stays in Oklahoma, shares the Good News when she can, and writes to illustrate the unending grace of God through the power and magic of story.<\/p>\n

MORE FROM ROBIN:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was raised in a Christian home. Our parents took my sister, my brother, and me to church every Sunday. They taught us right from wrong, but eventually, kids have to make their own choices. In my case, I chose wrong for a long time.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t misunderstand: I was always a pretty nice person. I wasn\u2019t a thief, and I didn\u2019t kill anybody, but I made a lot of bad decisions. Sinful decisions. I discovered that one bad choice often led to the next and the next until I was trapped in a life of my own making with no idea how to get out.<\/p>\n

But God\u2026 two of my favorite words in the English language.<\/p>\n

God had a different plan, and He pulled me out of the muck and changed my life. He showed me that I was not the person I\u2019d been acting like. He showed me who I was, and He taught me to walk in the truth of my identity.<\/p>\n

Harper Cloud isn\u2019t me, not at all. First of all, she tall and blond and drop-dead gorgeous. More than that, her choices are nothing like mine were. But she\u2019s in the same boat I was. Thanks to a series of bad decisions, Harper was in a hole, and she didn\u2019t know how to get herself out of it. She used drugs to quiet the condemning voices and told herself lies to make herself feel better. Someday, she told herself, she\u2019d get her life together enough to go home to her parents. Because she couldn\u2019t go when she was a mess. She couldn\u2019t go until she\u2019d done something they could be proud of.<\/p>\n

Thanks to a bad choice in boyfriend, Harper not only didn\u2019t go home, she ended up in prison.<\/p>\n

Harper\u2019s story begins two years after she\u2019s released. It\u2019s the story of a woman desperate to be free of her past, clinging to hope when there\u2019s every reason to despair, and desperate to believe what she\u2019s been told about this Savior, Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

Harper will learn about love and redemption and salvation in the course of the three books that make up the Beauty in Flight series. That is, if she can survive the danger that seems to follow her wherever she goes.<\/p>\n
