A good story and well written. I liked the way that the author made the characters so real - Lance's dilemma of wanting to do God's will but not knowing what exactly needs to be done is so true. I could definitely relate to the problem of having a few options and needing to determine which one I am going to do first. We don't always get the answers we want but as long as we trust Him things eventually work out the way they should ( )

At first, I have to say that I didn't like the way the book started out, and it was confusing at times with the start of each chapter as far as whose point of view was being explored. I had high hopes for the book being that I liked the last book I read by Kristen Heitzmann, and so I held on to see if it would get any better. Fortunately it did, and then it sped up. I did feel like part of the plot was drawn out too much, the characters too intense, and almost annoying. But once it did pick up, the plot smoothed out and became more exciting.

In Secrets, Lance is sent on a mission for his grandmother. With her in the hospital and recovering from a stroke, he's hard-pressed to help her, and would do anything for her. The only wrinkle to his plan is meeting Rese, and having to befriend her to get what he wants. It doesn't help that she's a prickly construction gal whose idea of living doesn't involve letting people get too close. With the secrets they both are keeping, though, it's anyone's guess as to whose plans will unravel first. I am already on to the next book in this trilogy so I can see what happens to them next! ( )

Great book. Romantic as usual but with an intriguing plot. ( )
