review 1: This is the first book of Barbara Freethy's books that I have ever read. It is set in the small coastal town of Angel's Bay,Cali. Isabella is the baby of her family and her only brother is the Chief of Police of Angel's Bay. She has the gift of sight and has been having dreams about a man that is running towards trouble and she is trying to help him. She has had dreams in the past that have told of a tragedy to come and has never acted on them. She is afraid her brother might be the one in this dream so she heads out to see her brother. Along the way on the Coastal Highway she is run off the road in the rain and is rescued by a stranger who she realizes is the man in her dreams. Nick, the man who rescues her is having trouble with his teenage daughter that has been dropped... more in his space by his ex-wife. Trying to reconnect with her and help his family in a renovation of the local theater has him stressed to the limit. He doesn't need anymore problems but cannot keep away from the beautiful woman who has come into his life, Isabella.This is a story of family,small town life, and the truth of finding someone you were meant to be with. I laughed,cried, and overall loved this book.
review 2: Let me start with telling you that I do not care for the "contemporary romance" genre. I avoid it. (Your question: Why did you read this then? Even the cover is 'Eww, yuck' ... I know. I'm part of a reading challenge this month that wants us to read a gazillion romance novels. I'm only in it for the competition, and I'm going to read these as fast I can to get the pain over with ---NOT because I like this genre! ) The next question may be: Why do you avoid this genre? They are so formulated and predictable, there's just nothing to these sort of stories. Page one, we meet the girl. On page three we meet the guy. And 200 pages later, in some unrealistic world devoid of plain LIFE stuff, they are together ... duh, I knew that would happen before I even opened the book. Unfortunately, At Hidden Falls is no different. Girl crashes car down cliff, boy rescues her, 200 pages later **SPOILER ALERT** they are together. Shocker.Give me some twists and turns. Make it complicated. Make me feel for these people. Don't hand me the whole story in the first three pages, but take 200 pages to tell it. I then waste hours of my life I'm never going to get back. less
