Keith bears scars—both physical and emotional—from his childhood, but he's worked hard to overcome the past. After walking away from his mother and her controlling ways five years ago, he's built a new life in LA. He's also accumulated a fortune of his own. But as soon as he learns of his mother's death, he returns to Fairham. He feels he owes it to his grandfather to put the family empire together again—and he's determined to find his mother's killer.
Problem is…coming home to Fairham puts him back in contact with Nancy Dellinger, the woman he hurt so badly when he left before. And digging that deep into his mother's final days and hours entails a very real risk.
Because the person who killed her could be someone he loves…
The first thing I want to say is I am so excited that Brenda Novak is writing romantic suspense again. That is the area I found her in years ago and became a fan of hers and this is the area I love reading her best in still today.
With a that being said I really enjoyed The Secrets She Kept and at the same time am so glad I was not raised in that family. With a mother like theirs I think being raised by a wolf may have been better. But, I did love Keith's loyalty to his mom even after everything she put him through and his steadfast belief that she would not take her own life under any circumstances. I also was endeared by Nancy's devotion to Keith even after all the not so nice things he put her through in the past. She was a tender hearted character that really made this book shine.
The storyline was excellent and it was nice how the characters from The Secret Sister were woven in so well and played such huge parts in this book. (I would highly recommend you read that book first due to major spoilers in this one). The ending was a bit of a surprise so that was a plus and the romance between Keith and Nancy was written exceptionally well.
I am giving The Secrets She Kept five out of five stars.
