Summer Secrets

Rating:
Summary: This one has everything -- adventure, romance, intrigue
Review: I have always been a fan of Ms. Freethy's books, but she really stretches in this one. Here are the strong, and often emotionally complicated family relationships one expects from her books. But this time we also get a bit of suspense as secrets are slowly unraveled, a touch of adventure on the high seas, and lots more characters and complex relationships. It's a bigger canvas, and the author fills it beautifully. Each of the three sisters is fully realized, each distinct from the others, each with her own secrets and her own fears and her own strengths. I never guessed the truth until it was revealed, and I couldn't put the book down until it was. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Beautifully crafted ... a definite winner
Review: 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!

Summary: SAIL INTO ADVENTURE
Review: 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.

Summary: This Was Such A Great Book ~
Review: The books that I have read by Barbara Freethy have never disappointment me just like this one didn't. It's about three sisters and the faithful day that no one wants to talk about. Something happened and they are all protecting each other from what happen. Tyler has come to town and wants to know all about the three sisters he says that it's about the race but he doesn't tell them why he is really there, when it all comes out will everyone be the same ever again. It kept me guessing when you think you have it all figured out then something else throws you. It had me wanting to read more and it was very hard to put down. This was such a great book.
Happy Reading Lisa
