First I have to like the characters in the book. The plot, however good it is, will not work unless I care about the characters. Except for the bad guys I really enjoyed every single character in this one. The heroine is an antique dealer who is perfectly comfortable in her own skin. She is not husband hunting, she’s just enjoying her life and her business. She owns the building where her business is downstairs and she has her apartment upstairs. There is another apartment which she rents out. Into this comes a very troubled, private man who somehow gets under her skin. He tries very hard to keep his distance but she is too lovable and two interesting and he can’t help himself. There are murderers and thievery, and she’s in the middle of it all. He is a cop first last and always but has quit his job because of his sister’s murder. Soon enough he becomes involved in the goings on in her business. He also meets her parents. They are actors and have their own company. She has one sister who is married and lives a “normal” life. Love creeps up on this couple but they nearly lose it because of a very evil man. All‘s well that ends well and this one does end very well.

Hidden Riches Nora Roberts 9780425197226 Books Reviews

Loved the romance and the banter between Dora and Jed. Her mother and father were a lot too "sweetsie" but the rest of the characters were pretty good. Except for Finley. He seemed way, way too bad.

Now I read across several genres, Jeffery Deaver, Thomas Perry, Nora Roberts, Maeve Binchy, Veronica Roth, Bernard Cornwell... I love romance, mystery, adventure and real life. My husband only reads the news and romances, but I can't recommend this to him because, even tho it is a romance and he has read all the small Nora Roberts, because of the mystery element. But most of the ladies who read romance should love it.
Nora Roberts writes great female characters that are independent and strong and this book is no exception. Dora, who owns an antique shop and Jed an ex-cop make a charming and emotion-charged couple in this book about redemption, love, family ... oh and illegal smuggling. Not that Jed and Dora are doing anything illegal, no they are wearing white hats in this story which is suspenseful, poignant and funny. Each character is uniquely drawn and most of them you would love to be friends with, but it is Dora and Jed who make this story so easy to read and so satisfying. Really enjoyed it, I never pass up a Nora Roberts book!
I enjoy reading and listening to Nora Roberts' books via the and Audible apps. This is my 4th book by this author and I am sure I will find myself intrigued with new lifelike characters from Nora Roberts' brilliant mind soon.
All of the characters in Hidden Riches were well developed and true to life. I could truly feel their pain and could relate often to the internal struggles they faced. I think deep down we all just want to love and be loved (have someone to care about and feel that they care about us also.)
Hidden Riches was truly a welcomed gem as I enjoyed reading/listening to it over my Christmas vacation and found it very ironic, yet timely as the scenes also unfolded around December and early January.
I would definitely recommend this book and plan to purchase the hardcover edition for my growing library of Nora Roberts' literacy works. 5 Stars.
Dora is a quick-witted, sharp, compassionate, savvy business, woman who loves what she does. She buys and sells antiques and collectible novelties which she purchases at auctions and estate sales. At the last sale she was at, she unknowingly purchases some items that were used to smuggle stolen merchandise inside them. As the thieves track down these items and retrieve them one by one, the robberies and the body counts start growing.
While Dora was out buying, her father rented her apartment across from her to an ex-cop named Jed. Jed is attracted to Dora but does his best to ignore it. Dora, on the other hand, recognizes the interest he is trying to conceal and pushes her advantage by showing up around him frequently and ignoring his gruff, get lost behavior.
Jed was not raised in a loving caring family style atmosphere. His parents fought constantly, usually publicly. He wants no part of a relationship. Dora is the opposite...raised in a loving, nose poking, but caring atmosphere. She is drawn to sexy Jed.
They are drawn to one another but Jed tries to keep an imaginary wall erected between them.
Dora's store is broken into while she and Jed are upstairs in their apartments. Jed and Dora get shot at when they try to catch the burglar. They start to realize that the break-ins, the robberies and the murders are all related to the items that she purchased. Time is running out. The last item is a painting and Dora has it. The thieves know it and plan to get it at all costs.
The dry humor and quick wit in this book will keep you laughing. The suspense will keep you hanging on til the end. The spicy romance will warm up any cold night. A very good read.
I read this book in Readers' Digest Condensed books a few years ago and wanted the unabridged version. While reading it, I experienced a surge of nostalgia and regret because the I devoured all Nora Robert's books I could lay my hands on. She produced masterpieces with the magical mix of suspense, romance and what I miss most, detailed information about a certain topic that must gave required intensive research e.g. deep-sea diving for treasures, botany, fire detectives who can 'read' the scene after a fire and scientific research to determine the authenticity of antiques and relics. Those were books with substance and of literary value to me.
Now Roberts only churns out glorified versions of Mills and Boons and I mourn the loss of my favourite writer.
'Hidden Riches' belongs to the list of her first generation books and I enjoyed it very much.
