Foreve Hidden ( The Treasures of Nome 1) by Tracie Peterson and Kimberly Woodhouse

Book Description

For Havyn Powell, growing up on her grandfather Chuck Bondrant's dairy outside the 1904 gold-rush boomtown of Nome, Alaska, offered all she needed. She had the love of her mother, two sisters, and grandfather. But now, at 23, Havyn realizes the stability of her life may soon vanish. Havyn is determined to find a way to keep the family together, but her grandfather's health is declining and everyone seems to be holding secrets from each other, including the handsome, dark-haired stranger who recently arrived.

John Roselli arrives in Nome looking for a steady, consistent job. He has grown tired of the promises of getting rich quick and just wants an honest job with honest pay. His grandfather once knew a Chuck Bondrant, and so when John arrives at the dairy, he's quickly offered a job--and a path to more if he wants it.

Havyn's plan for helping out the family means using her beautiful singing voice and her sisters' musical talent at a local roadhouse. They're an immediate hit, and it looks like her plan will be a success. But the spotlight brings with it dangerous eyes that covet Havyn and are jealous as she and John grow ever closer. But will they realize the peril before it's too late?

My thoughts:

I loved meeting the Powell family in Forever Hidden.  Three musically gifted sisters, their equally gifted mother and the grandfather who loves his family more than anyone or anything else. I adore a storyline with strong family dynamics and Ms. Peterson and Ms. Woodhouse certainly brought the love of family to life within the pages of their latest novel. 

In 1904 in Nome, Alaska readers get to know this family and the secrets they keep and on my goodness do they have a lot of secrets but they also have a deep love for each other as they face the daily work of farming and illnesses but through it all their love of music and for each other helps them get the through the hard times.   I loved the distinct personalities of the three sister, they can be feisty, sweet natured but no matter what they are feeling family always comes first. They have their disagreements, especially when their grandfather hires John as a foreman on the farm.  Not exactly a popular decision shared by everyone but he was the perfect addition to the storyline  I absolutely adored him, he's kind, a hard worker and an all around good guy.

I loved everything about this book, from the engaging character to the amazing storyline. 

Overall, I thought this book was well written, thoroughly researched and the story flowed perfectly.  I am a huge fan of both authors and this novel, so it's going to be difficult to wait for the next book in the series.  I think this book is a must read. 

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher.  I was under no obligation to write a review all opinions are completely my own. .
