Hide And Keep (Boys Of Lake Cliff Book 1) Kindle Edition

A scared, lonely past and a dangerous secret follow Dr. Aiden Sharp to the peaceful town of Lake Cliff, Illinois, when he arrives to testify in a murder trial for the district attorney.
Some heroes are built a little differently than the rest of us and some hearts love in a way we're not used to. Blood spatter and exit wounds make more sense to Aiden than a casual remark or a quick wink. Living faces and expectations have always been more of a mystery to Aiden--being autistic--than the cases he handles for the FBI, but he's never let it stop him from getting what he wants. He wants Lane as soon as their eyes meet in the airport, but Aiden gets a lot more than he expected when danger arrives with a text message and a threat he can no longer outrun. Luckily, Aiden finds a safe place to hide and learns he actually has a heart, he was just waiting for someone to teach him how to use it.
Detective Lane West is prepared to protect the gorgeous but confusing forensic psychologist from himself and just about anything fate throws at them. But what about Lane's heart? Despite his best intentions, Lane can't keep his hands off Aiden, keep it in his pants, or keep his heart out of it as soon as Mr. Morning After works his magic.
Passion and pancakes bring two lonely hearts together and an errand for the district attorney turns Lake Cliff upside down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific and sexy!
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2015

K. Sterling writes some of the sexiest MCs I've read. Well rounded funny sexy guys. Lane is a cop who has been having an affair with the district attorney, Clarke (who is married to a woman and has kids). Lane isn't thrilled with the affair but has continued because he hasn't had time to find a boyfriend. Clarke needs an expert witness for a case he is trying to prosecute and forces Lane to agree to babysit the expert. Lane meets Aiden, the expert, at the airport and it's lust at first sight. But Aiden is a bit odd. Turns out he has Aspergers. But that doesn't stop the two of them from tearing each other's clothes off! Lane is loving and gentle and good with Aiden. Aiden is just.... Aiden. Sweet but without filter. The two of them together just fit. A wonderful read. I was riveted, particularly when things became dangerous for Aiden. Wish the author would get an editor,though. Odd use of the possessive - "look at all the suit's." And mirky instead of murky. But the awesomeness of the story is such that the errors don't distract. And the sexy times - that first time - Good Lord, my Kindle went up in smoke! If you know anything about those with Asperger's, you may know that they can focus on a particular skill - well guess what Aiden is good at......

Great book. Looking forward to reading the short Safe And Sound (A Short Sequel To Hide And Keep Book 2) by K. Sterling. More Lane and Aiden!!

4.0 out of 5 stars these characters were great
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2023

This was great! I loved the characters, the hot jock x hit nerd. I think the story was a perfect here’s-how-we-fell-in-love story. There wasn’t much mystery or plot beyond just getting Aiden into a safe situation, but it laid a good foundation for these two characters that hopefully will lead to more plot heavy books in this series. My favorite thing: I liked the consistency when it came to describing Aiden’s sensations. They were always colors and the colors consistent and I just adored that very specific attention to details.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lane and Aiden are two of the best written characters I have ever read

What can I say about this book? It just blew me away. Lane and Aiden are two of the best written characters I have ever read. The way each one needed the other really touched my heart.

I found Aiden and his day-to-day struggles endearing, comical and sad all at the same time! Her depiction of an individual with Asperger 's was truly spot on. His interactions with Lane were priceless.

Lane is amazing. The way he was with Aiden and how he protected him. The sex was.....oh my! There is sex and then there is this author's writing of sex. Hot, hot, hot!

I would recommend this book to everyone. Great story line, beautiful characters, action, drama, romance. I mean just wow! 5 amazing stars for Hide and Keep and for my new favorite author.

I was not quite sure what type of book this would be going into it, but I really enjoyed a. I have only read a few books with a Neuro divergent main characters and I thought the subject was handled very well. I thought the pacing of the story was great. The spice Level was probably a 3 out of 5 maybe a 4. Probably important to note, the mystery and police aspect of this book was minimal, even though 1 main character is a detective and the other works for the FBI. The book is much more about their relationship than about any sort of case.

This book had the potential for 4 or 5 stars even but it needs some editing help. There were a few mistyped words, sentences that didn't make sense, incomplete or run-on sentences, and when the scenes changes there was no warning so it got a bit confusing. Overall I like the story enough to 3 star it with those errors and that's unusual because I'd normally give it 2. Editing is so important and it gets skipped or just ran through too often.

I chose 5 stars because I love Aiden and Lance so much....they are my all time favorite main characters. It was funny, sweet, intense and romantic...did I mention there were funny as in laugh out loud, snort through your nose while holding your belly and tinkling just a little moments. As well as soooo sweet and poignant you have to schedule an emergency dental appointment. I will not guess over the hot steamy love scene nope will not....okay this is me fan girl over the hot hot love scene. This is my first K Sterling book it will not be my last. She created multiple dimensional characters and setting that draws you in and keeps you enthralled that you want the story to never end.

I ha e read this first book a few times, and my adhd is always intimidated by the numbers of books in this series. I am going to try to get through them this time! :) I love when love finds its way despite quirks and differences. Aiden's lack of inhibitions in the bedroom lead for some super hot reading, so onward I go!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read. High praise for Dr. Aiden Sharp.

I am a newcomer to K Sterling, and I'm hooked. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy Hide and Jeep's storyline, but the character of Dr. Aiden Sharp was amazing. I have a 9 year old autistic nephew. He is beautiful and brilliant and it can be difficult. His favorite food is chips and cheese, and having a seven year old brother with ADHD and a 2 year old brother has caused more than one breakdown. My incredible sister-in-law stays home and home schools him.
It's so great to read a fictional series show this condition is such a beautiful light. Thank you. I'm so excited to continue reading the next books in the series.

I rely enjoyed this book. Having not read anything by K Sterling before, it was a wonderful surprise! The writing is fantastic and I loved the characters. The steamy scenes were amazing and I loved the action (even if there could have been a bit more 😉). I like the dual POV as I much prefer that when I read, and Aiden's character was wonderful.

An adorable story. Chapter 13, wow! I might have melted somewhat. I will admit that the first couple of chapters had me thinking the story was very familiar (had I read it before or something similar) but I was soon delighted by the story and the characters.

I enjoyed this. Civilian profiler for the FBI, Dr Aiden Sharp, comes to the sleepy town of Lake Cliff as an expert witness in a court case. Police Detective Lane West is assigned to look after him. Aiden has Asperger’s Syndrome which has distanced people in Aiden’s past, but Lane finds him attractive & endearing. Despite the law enforcement angle, this definitely fits into the romance rather than the action category, with most of the narrative focussed on Aiden & Lane’s interactions. I liked how Lane supported Aiden but wasn’t afraid to call him on things when he needed to. The author’s son inspired the Aiden character.

Aiden was such a breath of fresh air, I loved him. He was sexy as hell and so funny. I have fallen madly in love with this author and I want to devour everything that they've written. I'm working my way through the reading list and I'm yet to be disappointed.

This is really well written and the plot had me hooked. I was worried there would be a potentially bad, dramatic crime plot but it was a fairly light read with no angst. So in my mind, perfect. The crime aspect itself had my full attention and I really liked the angle.

The sex was incredible...again. I'm living for these scenes! I've already started the next one. Highly recommended.
