Book Review & Giveaway: Hidden in the Stars by Robin Caroll #50BookPledge




About the book: 

A quilt holds the secret to a killer still at large---and who his next victim will be.
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's 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't help either, so Julian hides his feelings as concern for a trauma victim and focuses instead on finding the killer.
Little do they know, the clues to solving the case may be right in front of them, displayed in Sophia's mother's "special" quilt design. Who will realize the secret Sophia's unwittingly been hiding in plain sight? When the truth comes to light, will Sophia find her voice again? Or will the murderer---still at large---silence her forever?

Review:

I have to admit when reading what Hidden in the Stars was about I was wondering how it would fit in with the Quilts of Love books.  I do enjoy books with suspense and crime, but I was unsure how it would fit in with what I was getting use to with these books.  I am happy to say it did not disappoint and in fact fit in quite well.  Sophia is such a strong character it was great to see even though she was feminine that did not mean in any way that she had to be weak.  What I enjoyed about Julian is that he was such a strong character as well, but he had a soft side to him.  He was able to feel and being a person of authority did not mean he could not feel.  I have to say I am hooked with the Quilts of Love books and look forward to what will come next!
