Kendra Elliot's 'Hidden' is billed as a romantic thriller. I just finished the book last night, and I'm still trying to figure out where the "thriller" part comes in.

As a mother of 3 kids, ranging in age from 4 to 15, I have gone through my share of the snot suckers, starting with the basic bulb which seemed to be the only product available when my 15 year old was a baby and then moving on to the Little Noses syringe bulb which seemed to be a bit better, then Graco battery-operated aspirator, and Nose Frida. The bulb and the syringe were a complete nightmare where I literally had to sit on top of my kids to administer the procedure. The Graco was fine to a certain point, when the nose is very little, and then, it does not have enough suction. Nose Frida did the job, however, it took forever and made me feel like I was smoking hookah each time I had to do it, once, I did it in the very morning on an empty stomach and I think I literally cut off the oxygen supply to my brain, I became so dizzy, almost passed out, this thing requires a parent to have a serious set of lungs. Finally, I overcame my fears and the feeling of weirdness of using vacuum for my baby's nose and bought the Baby Vac. OMG, what a world of difference. No more chasing the kid around the house, it's as simple as him sitting and watching cartoons while I do the procedure. No more snot going down his throat, making him cough and wake up thousand times a night. This thing is seriously amazing, and what a simple idea, how come it was not invented in America? Why is this country so great at developing various drugs and drugging our kids with various decongestants, cough suppressants, fever reducers, don't even get me started on antibiotics when a simple thing like keeping their nose free of mucus does wonders?

Great, soft little bear. Please note that the girl with glasses and braces in the picture does not come with it.

I devoured this book. It was every bit romance. It threw in some very real heartache and real life issues. Georgie is a young woman who is tired of pleasing everyone else and being set up on blind dates. She take a bold step and spins a globe and travels to that spot. She finds herself in a world unlike anything she knows and I loved watching her truly become her own person. Listen to her own heart and follow it. Gianluca is the hot and broody type. They meet by complete happen chance. But can the two complete opposites be what each other needs in life? This book was heart wrenching And at times heart breaking. The chapter development is perfect and you honestly feel like you know them. I fell in love with the setting of this book and made me want to get on a plane and travel these beautiful places. The descriptions are to die for.
