Book Synopsis:
The trouble with secrets is that you can’t guess what the consequences will be . . .
Lainey has lost everything. Luckily one little fib (OK, quite a big fib) helps nail her dream job. Soon she’s living in a stunning house by the sea, fending off obsessed fans for a retired – if far-from-retiring – actor and organising his charming but chaotic family. It’s definitely worth the challenge of keeping her secret.
At least Lainey isn’t looking for love. It’s time for a break from all that. And yet . . . Seth, the actor’s grandson, really is rather attractive. There’s growing chemistry and a definite connection between them. But how would he react if he knew she hadn’t been honest with him?
Lainey’s not the only one with a secret, though. Seth has one of his own. And everything’s about to start unravelling . . .
It Started With A Secret is available in ebook and hardback now. You can purchase your copy using the link below.
My Review:
I’m a huge fan of this author and always look forward to new books from her. This is another wonderful, feel good read which is perfect for curling up with.
Firstly there are some fabulous characters in this book which were an absolute joy to read about. They just made the book for me with all their loud, mad antics which made me smile. They are a great mix of different personalities which made them very interesting to read about. I found myself wishing I knew this family in real life as they seemed a lot of fun.
I thought the story was very entertaining and I soon found myself absorbed into the story. I so enjoyed getting to know the family and found the book hard to put down as I didn’t want to leave their world. The story was well plotted with plenty of surprises to keep the readers interest. I loved how the story managed to be so heartwarming and funny as it made it an easy, fun read which I loved to escape into after a hard day.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Headline for my copy of this book. I can’t wait for her next book!
