Hide to Seek (London Lies #2) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 53 ratings

Jackson Young has gone into hiding. Fighting to get his name cleared and his truth heard, he’s followed Fletcher Doherty to Ireland for a safe haven from those who want to silence his story.

As they work on Jackson's biography, their growing attraction gets harder to resist. Fletcher's made it clear though—their professional boundary isn't to be crossed, especially with so many loose threads from each of their pasts left hanging.

But as he learns more about the once coveted celebrity's rise to fame, and the manipulation and control that came with it, Fletcher finds it increasingly difficult to distance himself from their intimate moments. Lust fuelled attraction is easy to ignore, but an emotional connection is harder to deny.

Surrounded by Fletcher's meddling family, and ex boyfriends who still harbour feelings of being jilted, Jackson has to play the part of his lifetime. Can he prove that he does have talent and win Fletcher's heart as well as his trust?

And can he do it all before their idyllic hideaway is compromised?

Hide to Seek is the second book in the London Lies trilogy and is a slow burn, hurt/comfort, romantic suspense series.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Brought up in a relatively small town in Hertfordshire, C F White managed to do what most other residents try to do and fail—leave.

She eventually settled for pie and mash, cockles and winkles and a bit of Knees Up Mother Brown to live in the East End of London; securing a job and creating a life, a home and a family.

She writes gritty British based stories about imperfect men falling in love against the odds and has been accused of sprinkling a little humour into them too.

Who knew I could love the middle book of a trilogy!

Who knew I could love the middle book of a trilogy!
This is the second book in C.F. White’s London Lies trilogy. While it is a full and truly enjoyable story – it doesn’t really stand on it’s own. You’ll want to listen to Fade to Blank first. As such, this review may contain spoilers to the first book. While the first book was very much mystery/suspense with the anticipation of romance – White flips things a bit and gives us a slow-burn romance, several steamy scenes, and some serious push/pull during Jackson & Fletcher’s escape in Ireland. At first, it felt a little slow, but I’ve learned that White has a reason for everything. The descriptions of Ireland, the Doherty farm, the pub, and more truly immerse the reader. Fletcher is very much the prodigal son and Jackson is left trying to guess at the family dynamic. Jackson’s struggles with simultaneously wanting to share his story with the fact that lifelong lessons have taught him that no one is to be trusted. Fletcher wants to remain impartial but can’t deny his attraction to Jackson. Fans of the suspense/action/mystery aspect will definitely love the second half of the book. I like that White kept Tallulah, her murder, and how this all began a constant thread throughout. Despite thinking I knew what was going to happen, there were definitely some surprises. I couldn’t stop listening and stayed up really late last night so I could find out what happens next. I won’t spoil it – but the revelations about the couple’s first meeting… wow! Some things are resolved, Jackson & Fletcher’s relationship enters more solid footing, but there is now a bigger fight ahead of them. The final book, Bring to Light, is set to release on December 10th – I’m hoping the audio is quick to follow! As much as I’d love the conclusion to Jax & Fletch’s story as soon as possible, there is no way I’m experiencing it without Piers Ryman in my ears. Speaking of which, Ryman continues with a fantastic narration. And whew! That Irish accent… if you were teased by it in Fade to Blank, you’ll be in heaven listening to Hide to Seek. He does a wonderful job with an expanding cast of characters using a variety of accents and registers consistently throughout both books.

    Still seems to move a little slowly and the back & forth in Fletchers head about Jackson makes him sound like a jerk. Jackson is not the brightest bulb in the chandelier but there’s good reason. He still reads as if barely in his 20’s, sounding far younger than 30. The evil villain is a bit caricatured but the suspense & cliffhanger continues. Looking forward to book 3.

    I love how we got more of Jackson and Fletcher’s story! This story picks up where Fade to Blank left off. Jackson wants his name cleared and Fletcher is working to help him. They go to Ireland, but the mystery and danger follow them. Love the dynamic between these two. This was an awesome follow up to Fade to Blank!! Loved it. I am voluntarily leaving a review form an advanced copy that I received. My reviews are solely based on my thoughts and opinions.

    I experienced every emotion imaginable while I read this book. I laughed, I cried, I stared off into space in shock, and I even had to read through my fingers a few times. This book is magnificent. The story is well thought out, original, and entertaining. I felt as though I had a personal connection with the two main characters and I shed tears with, and for them. This is a must read!

    I really enjoyed Fade to Blank so I was pleased to see that this series was continuing already! First... if you're familiar with this series then you know this is an ongoing story. Just as with the first book in the series - Fade to Blank - this book ends on a cliff-hanger of sorts. You can read my review of the first book here.

    So, quick catch up ... Jackson wants his story told and he has convinced Fletcher to write it for him. They have a past... Fletcher panned Jackson's performance once and has been a huge critic of his work. Things took a turn in London, becoming dangerous and complicated and the two men have fled to Fletcher's home in Ireland.

    I am so invested in these two characters. Their relationship with one another has been in a state of flux since this series began. C.F. White manages to write both characters in a way that makes me feel as though I'm on both of their sides whenever there is adversity. There's a push and pull between the two men. Had they met under different circumstances and gotten to know one another things could have been different. Now, they are embroiled in intrigue and danger.

    The switch of the novel to Ireland rather than London is a clever way for us to be introduced to a bit more of Fletcher's background. Fletcher's family is a lovely supporting cast of characters; in particular, his father Dermot, and their relationship is very engaging.

    I was pondering what to write about this book... why it's so engaging...but I think it's down to two things. White has written some great characters. Fletcher and Jackson are complete entities unto themselves. Sometimes, I find that the main characters in a "romance" (I hesitate to use that label with this series because it's so much more) can become a bit too similar. That's definitely not the case in this series. Fletcher and Jackson are both interesting for different reasons. White has set a glorious pace for revealing their pasts. When reading along, it feels as though you are getting to know these men at the same time as they reveal their stories to one another.

    The second thing that I like about this series is that it's a very good, solid mystery. Because Jackson has been unable to remember everything that has happened to him, the process of discovering all the details is intriguing. There's enough danger to keep the plot moving along and it becomes impossible not to want these two to succeed.

    This is a great series and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. The writing is solid, the love scenes are steamy and fit well with the plot and the mystery will keep you curious!

    Middle books in trilogies often suffer from saggy middle syndrome. To be clear – this book isn’t that way at all. The story picks up from where book 1 left off – with Jackson and Fletcher on the run. They head to Fletcher’s family home in Ireland because, frankly, they’ve no where else to go. Fletcher’s family are happy to see him, to be sure, but there’s an underlying tension. Fletcher abandoned his family to go live the glamorous life in London with no thought for how the family would fare. Yes, his sisters are able to help out, but his father needs a man around to do much of the work now that he’s getting older. The family also miss Fletcher and want him to come home.

    But Fletcher had another reason for leaving. He’d been caught in a compromising position with another young man from the town. Another man who makes it clear he’d be happy to take off where they left off. Into all this comes Jackson. They’d hoped he might fly under the radar but Fletcher’s young intrepid sister spills the beans. Then hits on Jackson. Whether she’s blind to the growing attraction between Jackson and her brother or just wants a fling is another story.

    The men aren’t safe, though, and their location is revealed. Trouble comes knocking and Jackson gets into some serious trouble.

    And then the men go on the run again.

    Some questions still remain unanswered. Who killed Jackson’s girlfriend? Why did his best friend confess and then kill himself? Why are people still after him? How does his career as a mega star fit into all this?

    Oh, and Fletcher’s still trying to write Jackson’s biography. Although those professional lines are definitely blurring.

    I want to give a special nod to Jackson’s growing realization of what’s involved in running a farm. Too often we city folk take our food for granted without any thought of where it comes from. There was a particularly poignant moment that has stuck with me that needed a mention.

    I can’t wait for the next book and am glad I’m going to be able to get there right away. Finally, a quick word about Piers Ryman. He’s a great narrator and he suits this series perfectly. Definitely he’s along for this rollercoaster ride.

    4.5* for me for this second book in the series.
    Not as much action and intrigue in this one which I suppose was to be expected as book one nicely set up the continuing storyline. Fletcher and Jackson are just as likeable as they try to hide from the bad guys, back in Fletcher's home town, amongst his family. There are family dramas, ex-boyfriends and the ever present big and dangerous cloud hanging over their heads to contend with. Trust and emotions are slowly growing between the two MC's (the main focus of this read) and the smexy times turn up a notch or two. Not unsurprisingly the bad guys turn up in the end and things take a turn for the worse.
    Looking forward to the third instalment of this series and have pre-ordered it already.
    Recommended.
