Wait Until Midnight, by Amanda Quick
Amanda Quick’s books are always fun, and I plowed through Wait Until Midnight in two sittings.

Hideaway, by Nora Roberts
I enjoyed Hideaway just as much as I did the first time I read it. However, it doesn’t quite rise to the “favorites” level, in part because Hideaway is lighter on both romance and suspense than my favorite NR books.
