    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.

    Editor's Note

    Award-winning romantic suspense…

    Elisabeth Naughton’s novel won the 2017 RITA Award for romantic suspense. When Samantha and Ethan return temporarily to a small town and meet each other, sparks fly and repressed memories start to surface. Full of irresistible twists and turns.

    Elisabeth Naughton

    Before topping multiple bestseller lists—including those of the New York Times, USA Today, and the Wall Street Journal—Elisabeth Naughton taught middle-school science. A voracious reader, she soon discovered she had a knack for creating stories with a chemistry of their own. The spark turned into a flame, and Naughton now writes full-time. Her books have been nominated for some of the industry’s most prestigious awards, such as the RITA and Golden Heart Awards from Romance Writers of America, the Australian Romance Readers Award, and the Golden Leaf Award. When not dreaming up new stories, Naughton can be found spending time with her husband and three children in their western Oregon home. Unspeakable is the third book in her Deadly Secrets series, following Protected, Gone, and Repressed, which was a 2017 RITA winner in romantic suspense.

    • 5/5
      Ethan and Sam's story is drenched with suspense and romance. Both have secrets in their past that seem to collide with their presents. And though for the first time in their lives they feel as if they are with the one person who can make it all better, the revelation of these secrets has the ability to drive them so far apart there may not be a possibility of coming back to each other. This new series is going to be another MEGA bestseller series. Ms Naughton's ability to grab one's attention and hold it is amazing. She weaves the web of her story in such a way that it is difficult to put down and carry on with normal life. ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.

      Elisabeth 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.
