Hiding Out (The Davenport Agency Book 1)

Hiding Out

---

A family run advertising agency raking in billions cannot be run by a man working from 9 to 5, solicit orders and doing the sales pitch himself.

See a Problem?

That sounds like medium sized agency. The CEO of a billion dollar company would have enough staff to advan I bought the boxed set with the title "The Davenport Billionaires", the same two books but another edition. The CEO of a billion dollar company would have enough staff to advance some secretary to be his temporary PA and not rely on a temp who is unfamiliar with the company and the advertising business. The PI wasn't top notch either, why did they employ a psychologist?

The writing style switching between the POVs within one paragraph was awful. This book had potential if there was more character development. When the second book started with the whining brother I stopped reading. I was not enticed to find out whether it might get better. This is an amazing series! Sam is a guy who practically lives for his work, taking over the family business after his father's death, and when Haley appears to work as a temp, things begin to change for them, both at work and in personal life.

Haley went through a bad experience and ran away from it all, trying a new life in New York. As Sam and Haley get to know one another better and getting involved, things almost get out of control. This is a great and This is an amazing series! This is a great and well written story. The secondary characters are also very interesting. I loved Adam and Cammie's story. From the beginning it's possible to realize that Adam wants to change his lifestyle and finally mature, but when no one believes him, Cammie ends up helping him in his plan, and at the same time, Adam helps her with her plan to have her own business.

Although Adam suffers throughout the story to prove that he really changed, I loved everything!

It's a perfect Story! And even more because we know what happened to Sam and Hailey as well. Jan 13, SouthernAngel rated it really liked it. This box set is a good read, a little slow at the beginning, but the pace picks up to an enjoyable dramatic read. They have a little of everything: I voluntarily read an Advanced Reader Copy of this box set. Nov 26, Debbie Archey rated it it was amazing.

This series is a great read. The story of how both couples found love is such a great story. The men both found their loved and fought to get them. Love how are written both stories are written. The ups and downs are great. Mar 18, Venisha rated it it was amazing. Fighting the feeling I love this series. I recommend this to anyone who wants to see how loves concur all. Sam and Haley and Cammie and Adam had some obstacles but the Heart won. Jul 10, Hanne rated it really liked it. This boxed set has two books: Hiding Out and Finally Found.

They are about the Davenport brothers who finally find the love of their life. They can be read as standalones, but there are small spoilers about Hiding Out in Finally Found. We quickly find out what happened, but Sam needed to wait a few dates before she told him. Sam thought something happened to Haley after a few weeks of her working for him, because This boxed set has two books: Sam thought something happened to Haley after a few weeks of her working for him, because of the way she acts and reacts sometimes. He wanted to know what and he wanted to be there for her.

He was for once a patient man. Sam can be a romantic, sweet and caring man who loves to spoil Haley. He made Haley feel safe again and he showed her that true love really excits. Sam gives her courage and makes her stronger. I especially loved the beginning of the story and Sam's determination to make Haley feel safe. Haley is damaged, shy and insecure and she only slowly opens up. They fall in love and love to be together. So much happened near the end and I wasn't happy with someone's behaviour. Things wouldn't have happened if they would just talk to each other and kept the promises they made.

I also wanted more after the last chapter, because there wasn't an epilogue and the ending felt rushed. But overall, I liked the story and I want to read other books by this author. I loved the secondary characters, especially Ellen. She is an amazing friend of Haley and the reason Haley and Sam meet each other. Ellen helped Haley when she needed it and she will always be there for her. Sam hopes Ellen returns quickly to work, because he wants to date Haley officially.

Sam hates his no interoffice dating rule, but Haley and Sam do work great together! He realizes that he is lonely and wants to find love. As a child, he saw the love between his parents and thought that he would never find that kind of love, so he slept with a lot of women and never connected with someone. At his party, he talks to the bartender, Cammie. She is a very talented cook and food is her passion. Cammie has seen Adam at almost every party and knows his reputation, but she still has a crush on him. Later that evening, Adam needs help.

He makes a deal with Cammie and since then they spend a lot of time together. Adam is a man who knows what he wants and will get that, and he wants Cammie. Adam does everything he can to prove to Cammie that he is changed and that he is worth a chance. Cammie wants Adam, but Cammie is determined to keep him at a distant. She has a good reason to avoid him. She is also afraid to get hurt and to be another woman he will love and leave. There is a lot of push and pull, because Cammie can be stubborn and determined. Cammie and Adam are both passionate about their work. Cammie is exactly what Adam needs, because she challenges him.

They are good for each other. They help each other. They definitely belong together. Sam and Haley Hiding Out, 1 appear sometimes in this book. Haley and Cammie bond immediately and that is good for Haley. Haley is such a strong woman now and deserves everything she gets in this book. Sam and Adam bicker a lot, but Sam only wants the best for his little brother, even at the age of I liked this book much more than Hiding Out 1.

There are again a few twists and turns that kept me reading. Near the end, everything felt rushed. I did love the epilogue, but that could have been longer. Jun 27, Donna rated it it was amazing. Hiding Out I highly recommend reading Hiding Out. It is a well-written story that held my attention from page 1 to the very end. Haley and Sam are extremely likable, developed characters. I loved how big, powerful businessman Sam was utterly clueless in expressing his feelings or admitting that he cared so deeply, when it was so obvious to all who knew him.

While Sam's actions were, usually, a good indication of his feelings, there were times he definitely sent some mixed signals. Haley was understandably hesitant to get involved with Sam.

I loved the way she evolved and became a strong, confident woman once more. The dysfunctional relationship between Sam and his brother, Adam, was touching. They got on each other's nerves for various reasons but they always loved each other. The only problem I had was when Ellen had a visitor and she didn't tell Sam and Haley about it immediately.

I found that unrealistic. It didn't take away from my enjoyment of the overall story but it irked me. This is my first book by Emma Nichols but I am definitely checking out the rest of her books. Adam is the focus of the next book in the series, Finally Found and I have already started reading it. Adam is such a character! I just thought Sam was clueless about relationships! He was an expert in comparison to Adam. Cammie is such a strong-willed, intelligent woman with her goals in life plotted out for 10 yrs. Adam has no goals for the future.

Naturally, they clash over everything while the sparks are flying. I totally adored Adam when he told Cammie he considered himself a piece of clay that the right woman could mold into a better man. He was laying his soul bare for her to see. Again, Emma Nichols has written a wonderful story with likable, developed characters and a plot that kept me turning pages as fast as I could. I don't know if she plans any more stories in this series, especially since the Prologue was 5 years later.

However, I think both Jake and Neville would make for interesting stories. I highly recommend reading Hiding Out and Finally Found. Sam and Adam Davenport are brothers who didn't have time, or need, for love. Luckily, fate stepped in. In Book 1, Hiding Out, Haley has emotional baggage and Sam realizes he has to treat her with kid gloves. With his love and support, Haley gains her confidence and learns to stop hiding. As a warning, in this book there was a sexual assault, and it was described. For Adam's 30th birthday, Sam and Haley hire their usual events company to throw Adam a birthday party, where he runs in Cammie, who is the daughter of the people who own the events company.

After everyone has left, Adam is stuck at his apartment and gets Cammie to agree to take him to his house in the Hamptons and then stay with him for the week in exchange for helping her get her own catering company off the ground. The characters in these books are very real. They don't play games, they don't try to hurt one another, and they are pretty honest.

I felt like they could be friends of mine, and I was happy to go on their relationship journey with them. There were several twists and turns before each couple got their HEA, and it was a fun read.

Yes, and I'm looking forward to more by the author. Jun 23, Christina Balaz rated it really liked it. Hiding Out Book 1: I liked how it went straight into the story but I think everything developed way too quickly and I felt it was over before it had even started. Although there were parts throughout the book where I did feel a bit disconnected to the story and its characters that I found my self a little distracted and skimming through the words, there were parts I liked and enjoyed reading. It was about halfway through when things started getting a li Hiding Out Book 1: It was about halfway through when things started getting a little more interesting, but even then I felt it was over too soon.

I have to say I was endeared to Sam right from the start. Even though he seems a little smug in the beginning and all about the business we find out things about his past that have encouraged him to behave the way he does. I quickly became smitten with him after a few chapters. He has this way about him. I adore a strong man that wants nothing but happiness and protection for his woman. Poor Hailey is simply a mess. She has a hard time dealing with anything life throws at her after that fateful night. Not only does she have trust issues, she has self-esteem issues.

What happened to her was traumatic and not finding a way to properly deal with that has put her in a place of denial. Other than working, she really is a recluse but it is completely understandable having been through what she has. I admit that I am a sucker for the Happily Ever After and feel that every negative needs a positive. Nicole has a great story with Sam and Hailey and the natural progression of their relationship makes this book relatable to real life.

You can see the things that the characters are going through happening in real life. The realistic approach to a relationship is refreshing! I give Hiding Out 4. I wanted just a little bit more in the ending but then I found out that there is a 2nd book!!!! That made me happy! The 2nd book will cover some of the unresolved issues in this book and I am excited to see the journey continue… May 09, RO Mejia rated it really liked it Shelves: Hiding Out is a phenomenal story!

The main characters in this book are Samuel Davenport, a gorgeous man, with a perfectly sculpted body, who seems to be the grumpiest man in the world. He's the owner of a prestigious advertising agency, family owned, with his younger brother Adam. Adam is the kind of guy that runs from any kind of responsibility. Also, another main character in the story is Haley Daniels, who is a temp working for the company.

Haley is a gorgeously understated beauty, who change Hiding Out is a phenomenal story! Haley is a gorgeously understated beauty, who changes Samuel into butter, melting in her hands, and unrecognizable to his peers. Samuel notices that his new temp has the most beautiful emerald green eyes, beautiful legs, sexy shoes, yet she always wears clothes that are three times too big for her. The more Samuel is around Haley, the more he notices how she can be sweet and playful at times, and other times be a complete mess, turning jittery and unrecognizable.

She can become skidish from abrupt noises, and she gets very nervous, and jumps out of her chair. It starts making him get unnerved.

At the same time, there is something very innocent, and alluring about her, completely opposite of his ex-wife. He decides to use his investigator at the firm to gain knowledge of her everyday activities, and her past. He gets his inside man, Jake Ryan, and what he finds out confirms some earlier thoughts he was afraid might be spot on.

Haley was raped, and he realizes that if he wants to get to know her, and help her, he needs to tread lightly. Haley has a very structured life, and very predictable. She is always in by dark, and has one friend, Ellen, that she has taken places with at the agency, while she takes leave to have her baby. Sam has a lot of walls to tear down to get to the heart of Haley, without scaring her into running away from him, before he gets her to fall in love with him, like he's fallen for her. I found this book to be intriguing. The author's prose put me right into the situation happening at the time.

I loved all the characters, including the secondary characters. Inadvertantly, Samuel puts her in harms way. There is a whole story behind that, but I will leave the surprises to readers to find out for themselves. Sam is very careful with all his actions, to keeps Haley close to him so he can protect her, as soon as he realizes how important she has become in his life. I recommend Hiding Out to all of our followers, and look forward to the sequel, Finally Found, coming in May May 11, Lisa rated it it was ok Shelves: I love books with a passion so not liking one does not sit well in my brain.

But I have to be honest…I cannot help my feelings or opinions Haley Iverson is badly damaged, possibly beyond repair. Samuel Davenport is more than what he seems. Two things have to work for me in a story…believability and flow. Those were lacking for me in this story and it was the eventual reason why I gave up trying to read it. Haley has been through something no woman in the world wants to experience, let alone the way she experienced it. Sam on spec sounds like an ideal book boyfriend but there were a few things he said and did that made his character less realistic in my eyes.

And there were a few things that were a little too convenient — like the fact that they had a psychologist and P. There were a few other things that pushed my limits for rational thinking but they came to a head after we find out more about what happened with Haley. If her reactions to him had been slow and gradual and not as instantaneous, I could have gone for it.

Dec 02, Jennifer Guerra rated it really liked it. Haley- When we first meet Haley she is very timid, shy, jumpy, and just plain scared. Any abrupt noise sets her off and she shakes. In the aftermath she picked the most dangerous city in the world to run to. She hides her body with big clothes, has dyed her hair, and has basically hidden her heart from anyone who got too close. She thinks that this is the best way to live until she let her boss Sam into her life. Here was this man who was wealthy, in control, and appears to be cold and remote who obviously always got what he wanted.

Haley is alone in the world, no family and a past full of horrible ordeals. Sam is a rich business man who takes his job very seriously. He is done with the type of women that he normally dates that are superficial and only want him for his wealth and power. Sam makes Haley feel safe and because she finally feels safe she opens her heart up to him. She also takes back the power that she lost and finally fights back! It is so empowering to see someone who you view as weak fight back!

This book ended perfectly! Sam and Haley end up together regardless of all that the endured to get there and Haley finally has the family that she has always wanted Mar 09, J rated it really liked it. Just this once, instead of playing hid and seek, let's play Sardines. Sam's temp personal assistant is different from other women. She is timid, jumpy and a bundle of mysteries to unravel. When Sam tries to uncover all of Haley's mysterie "Dont expose me, Sam.

Sam and Hayley's relationship is a slow build. She slowly begins to trust Sam and lets him into her past. What if you are disgusted by my mere presence? What if I fall in love with you and can't be a to ever let you go? Yet, instead of curling up and dying, or shunning the world, she has the courage to face her fears and conquer them. She rejoins the world, she does whatever is necessary to not just survive, but thrive. And I marvel every day at you intellect, your heart, and that you even five me the time of day.

You can't play hide and seek with the past. It always find you. And you can't play sardines because soon you're squished and can't breathe and have no room for the future. I'm looking forward to Adams story next. Dec 03, Dayreader Reviews rated it really liked it. I was gifted this book from the publisher thank you in exchange for a honest review. Hiding Out by Nicole Andrews Moore, is a book about facing your fears and turning your life around.

What do you do when you have hit rock bottom and you have no where else to turn? When your a loner, without a family and you have a dark secret, I know what I would do, I would do the same thing Haley did, run! Get the heck out of Dodge, as they day. Haley is a loner, sudden noises sets her off and makes her nervo I was gifted this book from the publisher thank you in exchange for a honest review. Haley is a loner, sudden noises sets her off and makes her nervous. She tries not to draw any attention to herself from guys. She dresses down, dyes her, she doesn't want to be found, she is hiding out.

Using a fake name she settles herself in New York City and takes a temp. She is way over qualified for this job but she thinks this is her best option to hide. Sam runs the family advertising business and he realizes that his temporary assistant Haley has something going on but he can't put his finger on it. He is wealthy and practically the most eligible bachelor of NYC. He comes across to be in complete control, and seems cold and always gets his way. He takes his job serious, and Hailey is really good at her job. Sam is ready to make a change in his life, a different type of woman is what he is looking for now!

I loved the flow of this book and I fell head over hills for Sam! He was really swoon worthy! Moore does an outstanding job in her character development, they were believable and lovable. This book was a page turner. I glad to see a strong woman in a book, that is what I see Haley as, even being nervous, scared, and running, she was still a strong woman.

She did what she needed to do in order to protect herself, that's strong in my book! I really want book 2 now!! Poor Haley, was in New York hiding from her past. With this she puts up her defenses so no one can get in which will keep her safe. For Samuel, things have been stressful but woman have never been a problem well until He can't figure her out but for some reason wants to cherish and protect her. His instincts aren't wrong. This is a journey about healing, hope and love. Sam and Haley are Source: Sam and Haley are both stubborn and suck at communicating and assuming but eventually things start to go right until Haley's past comes back to bite her in the ass and hurt everyone else on her life as well.

To protect all that she loves, Haley does what she does best Thankfully Sam can run just as fast and wants to catch her when she starts running. What if I fall in love with you and can't bear to ever let you go? This story started out okay and believable, but as it went on it got a bit unbelievable for me. Sam and Haley were a cute couple. I admired all of the special care he took in interacting with her and getting her to trust him. Though I understood how Sam had to be careful with Haley because of her past, I find it hard to believe that she got better with just his care.

The addition of her pitching an advertising gig for a new contract … simply on the merit of her helping out Sam before. I mean a person, a temp mind you, with no discernable education about the entire process being put in charge of something like that? It just stretched reality for me until it snapped. The addition of Chase as a character … yeah I get his background and the like but he turned out to be the proverbial spoiled son of a ruthless, corrupt lawyer-type person.

I liked about the first third of the book, lost some of my like in the second third and well I skimmed a lot through the last third. Maybe someone who has a stronger like for this kind of romance and who could overlook the things that bothered me would like the book more. Mar 12, Kathryn rated it really liked it. This book opened with a phone call that led me to believe that I had missed something! Because I was too lazy to head back to Amazon to see if I'd missed a previous book or something, I decided to just go ahead and read it.

Boy am I glad I did. Nicole, Haley's experience totally shattered me. I could feel her pain, both physical and emotional. I swear I jumped in my seat every time a door slammed or someone yelled. I am so thankful that Haley had Ellen to help her in the beginning. As for Sam, I This book opened with a phone call that led me to believe that I had missed something! As for Sam, I think I have a little crush on him. The way he changed who he was and how he reacted around Haley warmed my heart.

This was definitely one of those "can't put it down" kind of books, and I can't wait to read Adam's story and find out what happens to Chase. One question though, can I borrow Neville? I need someone like him around here! Apr 22, Sharilyn Dickerson rated it really liked it Shelves: I really enjoyed this book. It took me on an emotional roller coaster, which I like when reading books. Without giving too much away, the content is intense and the author does a fantastic job addressing it. The ending was written very well and I am glad to see the story will be continued.

The only reason I didn't give this book a 5-star review is because I wish it had been longer. At only pages it was a really quick read. Other than that, the only other thing is the POV changes which is fi I really enjoyed this book. Other than that, the only other thing is the POV changes which is fine I ordinarily have no complaints about that and sometimes it takes you a minute to realize you are reading another person's POV.

Overall, would I recommend this book to someone? I am looking forward to reading the continuation of this book! Mar 22, Toni rated it it was amazing. A good book to me is one that keeps me engaged and not wanting to put it down. Hiding Out is just that book. I read it in one day! Even after reading it the characters stayed with me for several days. I am excitedly awaiting the return of Sam, Haley and Adam! I like the the concept of the series and I can't wait for it to continue.

Hiding out is definitely worth a read. Feb 25, Romance Uninhibited rated it really liked it Shelves: It just keeps getting better. If you enjoy HEA stand alone romance this is a great one. Add it to your TBR. I think this book is her best book yet. Mar 25, Haley rated it it was amazing.

I'm in the process of reading this book but so far incredible!! Apr 11, Kobie rated it it was ok. Mar 09, Wendee Liu rated it it was amazing. Absolutely enjoyed this book! I loved how the author gets to the point and doesn't drag on subjects! Can't wait for book 2!

Feb 24, Kathy rated it it was amazing Shelves: I had seen other authors who I love raving about the book, but I wanted to see for myself what the excitement was about. Heart-pounding angst with a want need for resolution for a few of the characters and a slow progression to romance are what I got in my reading of Hiding Out. I have fallen completely in love wit 4. I have fallen completely in love with the characters of Hiding Out I don't want to touch on Chase in the review, because I don't want to give anything away, but he is a vital part of the story and is the reason for my heaving stomach.

But Sam and Andy will have a place in my heart for a long time to come. So what is Hiding Out about aside from the synopsis? Haley Iverson has run from Pittsburgh to the big city of New York, where her college roommate lives. The scars on the outside are nothing compared to the scars on the inside for Haley. It takes Haley months after moving in with her friend before she can even go outside, and then she doesn't go out at night.

She never confides in Ellen, and the only way Ellen can piece together what has happened to Haley is through Haley's screaming nightmares each night. What Haley has endured in her past is horrific, making her into a runner from her past and any future she may have.

It's easy for Haley to run because she has lost all family and has no one in her life except her one friend, Ellen. Taking a temporary job as a personal assistant to Sam Davenport and only having enough personal items to pack in three duffel bags allow Haley the freedom to flee at a moment's notice and remain in hiding. But Haley grows to love New York and she finally feels safe and secure around Sam. Sam and Andy make her feel like a part of their family, and family is something Haley misses and longs for. My heart went out to Haley and all she's endured, but this timid little kitten grew to become a roaring lioness who learned to help herself and stop running, all thanks to Sam.

Sam Davenport is all business. He's Haley's new boss with a strict no fraternization policy in the workplace as a result of a bad breakup with a former employee. Sam wants to rethink his policy when Haley comes to work for him. He's never really experienced what he feels for Haley, and he knows something is off where she is concerned because of her apparel and timid behavior. When his feelings continue to develop for Haley, he wants to know more. He wants to know why she is so scared and fragile. With a private eye at his disposal, he quickly calls on his old friend and employee, Jake, to seek out the truth behind Haley's behavior.

When he realizes his mistake, it's too late. The wheels have already been put in motion, and his mistake has a ripple effect that puts the lives of everyone he cares about at risk, including his brother, Adam.

There were times when I just wanted to scream at Sam! He was so enamored and in love with Haley, but he didn't know how to express his feelings verbally. He kept letting his no-dating policy get in the way, while inventing task after task and excuse after excuse to keep Haley near him.

He even managed to keep Haley with him at his home Sam did all this to comfort Haley and to build a trust that he knew she desperately needed. Everyone around him saw his behavior with Haley and knew he loved her and that they were really dating. Sam and Haley just hadn't come to the conclusion, yet or they just refused to admit it. They were the most stubborn people and refused to admit any feelings they shared, but Sam's patience and care for Haley, along with his chivalry, drew me into his character and made me love him.

Andy is the happy go lucky brother of Sam who just wants to live off his trust fund and have a good time. If I had to pick a casting for Andy, it would be a younger Greg Kinear. I loved Andy, and as irresponsible as he is, he is actually the voice of reason when it comes to trying to help Sam sort his feelings for Haley. Adam is the playboy in the family, but when it comes to relationship advice, he is spot on. He advises Sam to stop using work to spend time with Haley and just be honest with her.

Sam is just too thick-headed and bull-headed to agree. That and he's afraid Haley will run again and he will lose her forever. Hiding Out is beautifully written with enough sweet to give reprieve to the sour taste left in my mouth from Chase and his actions. There were times when my emotions ran extremely high and the angst level was far above what I wanted to feel. It was a wonderful, adrenaline filled rush. The rest of my emotions while reading this book are hard to describe, as I was kept in a guessing and waiting game Waiting on Sam to stop concocting a pretense to spend time with Haley and just be honest with her.

That, too was wonderful. The only thing that kept this story from being a 5 star read from me was the pov. While I love third person omniscient pov because I get to experience all characters thoughts and feelings, I was lost a couple of times when the narration shifted from Sam to Chase and from Sam to Neville. If you're wondering where the quotes are from the novel that I sometimes put into a review, I'll let you in on a secret. I didn't highlight that many things in Hiding Out because it took me away from the book too much, and I just didn't want to couldn't stop my reading.

I didn't really even stop my reading to make many notes; I was that engrossed in this novel. I did experience a few tears and a couple of WTH moments that put my angst in over-drive. The content in Hiding Out is very sensitive and raw. The fear I felt for Haley and the disgust I felt for what happened to her was very real. I can easily recommend this book and although it is complete with a HEA for Haley and Sam, I desperately wanted Andy to have his own story, and I wanted to see where things will go for Chase.

Nov 23, Gudrun rated it did not like it Shelves: I bought the boxed set and the title was "The Davenport Billionaires". The summary sounded good but the execution was not, there were too many inconsistencies. I expected an alpha male and only got an average man. A family run advertising agency raking in billions cannot be run by a man working from 9 to 5, solicit orders and doing the sales pitch himself.

That sounds like medium sized agency.

The CEO of a billion dollar company would have enough staff to advance some secretary to be his temporary PA and not rely on a temp.

The PI wasn't top notch either, why did they employ a psychlogist? It takes a lot to hold on to something you believe to be precious and then to have someone you trusted to rip it away instantly against your will, is tragic and all consuming. He has some attraction to her be she jumps everyime he is around.
