good book different story line ( )

This was the first book I had read by Pan Jenoff and I wasn't sure what to expect. A Hidden Affair is the sequel to Almost Home, I only realised this when I was reading the Acknowledgements at the end of the book - I never felt like I was missing out on any background information. The book does jump straight into the plot with the action starting within the first few pages, I loved this as it meant I got swept straight up with the book.

I really liked the lead character Jordan. I found her to be an interesting character, whilst she is a tough intelligence offer she is still very feminine. I also found Ari to be an intriguing character, the interactions between the two of them worked really well for me.

I enjoyed the plot a lot. I found that having both Jordan pursuing Jared and Ari pursuing Nicole worked well, their individual stories and motivations were interesting but neither one over powered the other. There are political issues covered within the plot, I found this worked well and at one point actually put the book down whilst I considered a viewpoint I'd not previously encountered.

Overall I really enjoyed this book and I will definitely be reading Almost Home to find out more about Jordan and Jared. ( )
