Summer Secrets

 (22 customer reviews)

I, for once, never disappointed with Barbara Freethy, ever since I purchased my first book of her (One True Love) few years ago. She is my favorite author when it comes to family stories. She always manages to write such beautiful, heartwarming, and also real family stories. The joy, the tears, the fears, the loyalty ... they are always there, knotted into one amazing story. She did it again with SUMMER SECRETS. Each character stands out with their own self. The sisters are uniquely different with one another but nevertheless, united with a strong bond called "family. The romance of course, is also beautiful. I love the chemistry between Tyler and Kate, also Ashley and Sean. I just wish Caroline will get her own man. This book is wonderful read ... if you don't know Barbara Freethy, you're missing such a talented author!

This book has got everything - romance, suspense and excitement. Three sisters on a small island off the coast who've had their fifteen minutes of fame but are now, ten years later, forced to face the consequences of that fateful sailboat race they won. Once their pictures were on the covers of every magazine, now all they want to do is to live quiet, normal lives. But their secrets come back to haunt them and they have to deal with them. You won't be able to put it down until you find out what happens!

Stormy relationships and a stormy sailing adventure combine to make this a better-than-average read. Barbara Freethy keeps you guessing about the big family secret and the ending is predictible but still fun. It's a great way to pass a summer afternoon at the beach or just curled up on the living room sofa.
