Hidden Paradise

by Janet Mullany

This book was fantastic.  I loved the emotional journey that Lou finds herself on.  She is trying to deal with grief, denial, anger, betrayal, guilt, lust, and love all at the same time.  Lou is trying to maintain a connection to her recently deceased husband while also trying to establish new romantic connections.  She finds herself back in time while visiting the newly renovated Paradise Hall, a project of good friends of hers.  While there, Lou realizes that she is not going to find the connection to her husband she was looking for, but she may be able to love again. 
Lou struggles with the guilt of letting her husband go, and the fear of connecting with someone new and risking loss again.  When Lou discovers that her extreme happiness with her husband may not have been all that she thought it was, she is thrown into even more emotional turmoil.  Her new friends, and potential love interests, Mac and Rob, are there to help her sort through some of her emotions, and her desires.  But can either of them be strong enough to help Lou regain emotional stability?
