Good book !
I loved this book. As a romantic suspense, it delivered on the action and the romance. I read it quickly, unable to put it down because the story was engaging and well written. I also like it when there is a protector and someone who doesn’t want/doesn’t think they need protection – it makes for good conflict, and even better making up. I am also a sucker for a series, and I am looking forward to more!
Ms. Benefiel is a very talented author. I have read her High Sierra series, which was amazing, so I was excited to start a new series with her. This book certainly did not disappoint. Suspense, action, and romance all rolled up into one great story. It has a gripping plot and the storyline is well-written and flows smoothly. The characters are wonderful and have great personalities and depth. This story definitely caught my attention from the very beginning and kept me turning the pages, anxious to see how it all ends. Another great start to a new series – highly recommended!

this was a good start to a new series by Diane Benefiel. I have continuously like her books and I had high expectations of this one as well. I started this book right after breakfast this morning, and I found myself sucked into the story. This story seemed to be a little different from the others that shes written, but it was still quite well written. Mikayala unexpectedly finds a possible future with Lincoln and he finds himself someone who has captured his heart. The plot was well written and I found the suspense to be so gripping.

Another action packed intense book where justice prevails eventually. I love the dynamic of the Jameson siblings working together and with every book I read I get more insight into their family life.
Storyline was great and well developed and Mikayla was such a wonderful strong female character, her insecurities just made her more realistic and relatable. As with all the siblings, the chemistry between Mikayla and Lincoln was sizzling. Great read.

Hidden Betrayal is the first book in Diane Benefiel’s The Jamesons, US Marshalls series and while I enjoyed the concept of the storyline, I found some aspects of this story a little farfetched and unbelievable. That said, the pace was good, and the suspense and romance were enough to see me through to the end and want to read the next in the series.
Mikayla lost her father to violent death st age 13
Her mother went more than a little overboard trying to protect her.
Her breakup from the kind of man her mother thought she should be with sent her mother into a tizzy, and Mikayla into the wilderness with danger hunting her
Lincoln suffered a near lethal betrayal at work as a US Marshall. Recovering from that betrayal, and his physical wounds, he finds himself in a camp site near a Celtic warrior goddess.
Mikayla and Linc might be a heart saving or heart breaking match – if they can survive.
Intense emotional and action packed drama and suspense filled romance
