From AudioFile
Suspense and romance begin when Dora buys art at an auction. Dora's new tenant, Jed, comes to her defense during a break-in and gets more than he bargains for. Sandra Burr easily highlights each character with distinctive voices. Lighthearted banter between Dora and Jed, at times turning to sarcasm, is well read. Burr's voices for Dora's parents, actors who have a flair for the dramatic, are never strained or overdone. Descriptive writing and natural, easy-going presentations bring images of characters quickly and easily to mind.
REVIEW
Hidden Riches, set in modern-day Philadelphia, brings together Jed Skimmerhorn, a discontented police captain and Dora Conway, an antiques dealer. Captain Skimmerhorn is the new tenant in the apartment located above Dora's antique shop and across from her own living quarters. No doubt that their feeling definite attraction toward each other, Skimmerhorn fights against his feelings for Dora and the loving, overwhelming Conway family. Forces change however when he is pulled in by Dora, who unwittingly stumbles into the evil world of art and antique smuggling valuable and finds her very existence threatened. Hidden Riches is quite a suspenseful story with a love story happening along the way. Skimmerhorn, a strong, brooding man has that some demons from his past to conquer. Dora is a strong character-a woman who is independent, intelligent, beautiful, and determined. Drawn together by forces greater than themselves, they are forced to face his past and the future neither had planned for.
VERY GOOD
