When bubbly Jaime Sanders flees to France as a housekeeper to Father Dante de Vere after receiving menacing letters back in England, she believes she is safe. The village is secluded. It’s the perfect place to hide, and Jaime gradually lowers her guard. But when the priest begins to behave strangely by watching her every move, and the letters return, Jaime wonders if the two are linked.

Torn between keeping her past to herself, and confiding in the man of the cloth who she believes has nothing to do with the church, Jaime sits on her worries until the stalker turns up in France.

After an unexpected encounter, where both she and the priest fear for their lives, Jaime discovers she isn't the only one with secrets. And when the stalker gains ground and puts his threats into action, Jaime comes to a terrifying conclusion.
Her pursuer is no other than a dead man…

    This is the 3rd book I’ve read from this author and I think this is my favorite of all. The writing style is top notch, and the plot is intriguing enough to keep the reader guessing throughout. I really enjoyed the characters and felt their struggles. Both main characters are hiding from threats, and find each other in the process. Dante seems swoon worthy, and proves himself to be a real keeper. A twist at the end of this novel was both unexpected and satisfying. I recommend to all who love mystery and romance!

    Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2021

    Jaime is a young woman who is escaping England. We don't know why other than a court case, a stumbled upon crime, and some letters. She took a job in France to be a housekeeper to the clergy in a small town. She seems very nervous and timid, almost unsure of her surroundings. I kinda got the vibe of paranoid.

    She is adjusting well to life in France and has acquaintance Father De Vere, a hot priest. They have some interesting conversations and even funny moments. Her new job is working out well, but of course, her mind is dirtier than I initially thought. She seems to relive that fateful nights and the notes and dead messengers don't help her forget it. It makes for some great conversations and words in the book.

    This book jumps back and forth between Jaime's perspective and Hyde's. Hyde is the stalker who is intent on making her life miserable. Brother to the original criminal, her testimony helped send to jail. He gets a few Clair to her whereabouts but nothing too solid; however, I think she unknowingly gave it away.

    Interesting, it seems Father De Vere has something to hide. He seems to be jealous of anyone who tries to cloak his housekeeper. Also, a strange encounter and a sightseer at the church didn't quite fit in. So Father De Vere is Dante, and we get some more information on this man.

    This book gets steamy. She finally claims her man, but who knew a priest and a housekeeper. I swear the stuff of fantasies. However, they are both still dealing with the complex issue of the past. When it jumps to the psychopath's point of view, don't be surprised by the darkness that comes out. This guy makes Hannibal look sane. This book doesn't shy on the romance front either the love between Dante and Jaime is on fire.

    Oh, this book gets all sorts of twisted with the suspense. And you won't guess the sick surprises the author has in store for you, the reader, to discover. This book is graphic and definitely for a mature audience. This book takes a while to get to the ending, but it is worth the read. This story is full of love, suspense, and an incident that could actually happen in real life. Although this is one heck of a creepy story, it was a great read.

    I enjoyed the mystery of this story and the thriller aspects of it. I also love that the author included steamy romance as well. Hyde and Seek was a tremendous psychological and thrilling, mind-boggling story. How can so many people's lives be so interconnected without knowing it, and some of those people be on the right side of the law and others on the wrong side of it. The author did a fantastic job interweaving this tale with tons of hints and activities that leave you guessing and at the edge of your seat to see what happens next.

    This novel was great. It had a little of everything to keep me reading until the end. Jaime moves away after being stalked and meets the mysterious priest, Dante.
    Her problems follow her to France. Jaime is strong woman but is struggling to deal with her past.
    I don’t want to spoil the story but if you like suspense, this is a great choice.
    I really loved the characters and Petrus because who doesn’t love a loyal dog?

    Twists and turns and sudden appearances are the order of the day in Hyde and Seek and this is what makes the book so entertaining. l liked the fact that the characters were so well developed though, just like us, each had their flaws.
    For an enjoyable thriller, l highly recommend this book!

    I love the tender care this author takes when it comes to figuring out one thing with each book: how to suck in the reader and then slam on the thrills that don't stop. Like others, I expected this story to set up shop in the dark from the beginning. However, the very human elements drives the plot's heartbeat at a steady pace, and you'll finish the last word at the end asking how it all happened so fast.

    I have ever read the previous book, Whispering Magpies, by this author. I enjoyed that book, so it came as no surprise to read this and also thoroughly enjoy it.
    The story intertwines the lives of two individuals that are only trying to escape their past and live a normal life; but as their lives clash together, the past comes to haunt them both.

    I encourage you to read BOTH books - you won't be disappointed!!

    Reviewed in Canada on May 14, 2022

    AJ Saunders’ "Hyde And Seek" is an intensely suspenseful novel of murder, blackmail and passion. Jaime, who is English, is trying to hide herself from a nasty stalker and she decides to take a housekeeping job in Rambouillet, a small town in France, it is far away from her home in England, and she thinks that her psychotic stalker will not find her. However, little does Jaime know that besides avoiding a stalker was hard, avoiding her heart for a handsome priest is even harder. Will Jaime’s stalker find her? Can Jaime avoid this hot-chemistry she has for the priest?

    I love this spine-tingling page-turner. I was so excited to read a novel that combines thriller and a little spicey-shake of romance. When I finished reading the book I was not disappointed; the book promised everything a captivating read should be. The book held me hostage with the beautiful setting descriptions and the cast of characters from the heroes to the bad guys. I loved each character.

    The authors wrote an alluring suspenseful novel that had my heart pumping and my fingers flipping the pages. Easily five stars.

    Oh, la, la! This is a very enjoyable steamy romance with a thriller element incorporated into it.
    To escape the torment of a stalker, Jamie relocates to France where she takes employment as a housekeeper to two priests—one elderly and the other, well Dante definitely isn’t elderly. He’s young, handsome and extremely hot. Jamie is instantly attracted to him, but he’s a priest and she can’t have him. But why does he look at her the same way?
    Hyde and Seek is a steamy romance you won’t want to put down. The thriller element—just who is the stalker and what is in Dante’s past that makes him so mysterious—keeps you guessing.
    Highly recommended.

    Hyde and Seek is definitely a page turner. The characters and plot are well developed. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. Jaime is forced to leave her country. But her stalker follows her. She takes refuge at a presbytery where there are more secrets to be revealed. A well plotted novel that brings it all together at the end.

    It is written in several POVs - Jaime, Dante,Leonora, and the stalker ! Reading what was going on in all their heads helped put the reader in the picture, and when they all tie together in the end, you're left thinking WOW!

    An intriguing page turner about Jaime who takes off to France to become a housekeeper for two priests in a presbytery. Jaime is on the run from a stalker back in England and hopes that the clean break in another country will keep her safe. Jaime has an instant attraction to Father De Vere, but he appears cold and distant towards her. Unbeknown to her, the priest has his own dark secrets which are slowly revealed throughout the plot.

    Both Jaime and the priest have sinister characters trying to track them down, but both try to protect the other by initially not sharing their pasts (as they are hopeful that their problems are over). The plot unfolds at an enticing pace, while keeping the suspense and mystery mounting; in turn making the reader curious enough to want to read on.

    The story line has multiple layers and side plots which create plenty of twists and turns along the way. There are steamy scenes, blackmail, violence and mysterious characters galore - all of which make the perfect ingredients for a juicy novel. Bravo!
