*****I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review*****Wow, what can I say?  I was blown away.  Okay, so Concealed is the sequel to the prequel in this series (Camouflaged, Hiding from Love 0.5) that follows the story of Gabe and Alexis.  Without revealing too much, the story picks up where Camouflage left off--sort of.  It's been two years since he last seen her, but Gabe is home from Afganistan expecting to find Alexis waiting for him, but instead he finds out that she'd gone back with her boyfriend Marco.  I loved the connection between Gabe and Alexis, which is evident from the first page.  At times, I got frustrated with this story, but that's what I love when I read.  I love rooting for the characters, and I was rooting for Alexis and Gabe.  Gabe was such a lovable guy.  He was the perfect combination of toughness and softness--a quality I love in my book boyfriends.  Gabe was so sexy and persistent it was hard not to fall in love with him.Selena is a genius.  This was a very good read because I love the voice that the author gives to her characters.  Her storytelling skills make this story, and I downed this book in one sitting.  When I was given this ARC, I was unfamiliar with this author or any other books in this series, but after reading this book, I had to get familiar with her. When reviewing, I try not to criticize the events of the story because this is afterall a product of the creator's imagination.  What I look for when I read and review is the storytelling skills--the ability of the writer to paint a picture in my head so that I can fully immerse myself in a story.  And Selena did just that.  I dived right in without ever coming up for air.
