About this audiobook
RITA Award winner, Romantic Suspense.
Hidden Falls is exactly as Samantha Parker left it—small, insular, and prone to gossip. Eighteen years have passed since she witnessed her brother’s murder, but she’s still the talk of the town. Until a handsome child psychologist with haunting memories of his own arrives.
Dr. Ethan McClane isn’t exactly a newcomer. If it weren’t for his latest case, he’d never set foot back in Hidden Falls. Thankfully, no one seems to recognize him as the troubled teen from years past. Not even Sam, the delightfully sharp and sexy high school chemistry teacher he can’t stop thinking about.
When Sam and Ethan work together to help one of her students, sparks ignite. But Sam’s hazy memories of a long-ago night concern Ethan, and unlocking the repressed images reveals a dark connection between them. As the horrors of the past finally come to light, their relationship isn’t the only thing in danger. A killer will strike again to keep an ugly secret hidden. This time no one will be safe.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Elisabeth Naughton’s REPRESSED was a thrilling romantic suspense that kept me on the edge of my seat. This story was outside my typical genre. I’m a fan of Elisabeth Naughton’s Eternal Guardians Series. I enjoy her writing style and was curious about her new series. I absolutely loved it. REPRESSED was full of mystery and conspiracy. The characters and plot were well-developed and believable. This contemporary romance takes place in a small town named Hidden Falls; an hour away from Portland, Oregon. It is suitable for adults.I liked the heroine, Samantha Parker. She recently returned to her hometown of Hidden Falls after her mother fell ill and passed away. She is working as a chemistry teacher there while she puts her mother’s home up for sale. She has repressed memories of her brother’s murder that took place when she was ten years old. She still suffers from nightmares from the tragedy. As a result, she dislikes psychologist. Enter our hero, Dr. Ethan McClane. He is sent to Hidden Falls to observe one of Sam’s students. He is surprisingly different from the “shrinks” of her past. They develop a relationship and he helps her uncover her past, discovering that they have a connection. Meanwhile, there is a murderer on the loose. I was greatly impressed by all the details and mystery in this novel. It was full of conspiracy. The characters were interesting, and you had no idea who was trustworthy. The story was well-written and extremely believable. REPRESSED would make an amazing movie. I’m glad I ventured out of my genre comfort zone.Complimentary copy provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
