A Secret in the Keys

Coconut Key, Book 1

De: Hope Holloway

Narrado por: Amy McFadden

All she wants is a second chance at life and love...and a beach house in the Keys.

The last thing Beck Foster wants to do is attend a party for her estranged aunt in the Florida Keys. One month earlier, Beck’s seemingly ideal existence imploded when her husband of 34 years announced he was leaving her. Now, so she has to sell her house, get a job, and somehow put her broken heart and life back together. She can’t do all that if she runs off to visit a woman she barely remembers. Or can she?

Accompanied by her grown daughter who also longs for an escape, Beck heads to Coconut Key, where she’d lived the earliest years of her life. There, she forges a life-changing relationship with a woman she never really understood, dips her toes into the waters of a new romance, and begins the process of starting over. But when a secret kept for nearly 50 years comes crashing down on them, all of Beck’s dreams are once again threatened. Can she forgive the lies that have shaped her life, or will the past ruin her chance at a new beginning in Coconut Key?

The Coconut Key series celebrates older heroines, second-chance romance, entangled families, and lifelong friendships with a cast of unforgettable characters and stories that touch every woman’s heart.

Kept my attention!

I thought this was an excellent story line and can’t wait to listen to Book 2!

Loved, loved, LOVED this book!

This book is the perfect blend of women's fiction, with a bit of romance woven in. SUCH a feel-good story! I've already bought book 2 of the series. The narrator brought the story to life in a good way. I need to get my work done today, but all I want to do is spend time on Coconut Key!

SUMMER FAVORITE!

I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THIS SERIES. ALL 7 BOOKS ARE AMAZING AND THE NARRATOR KNOCKED IT.OUT OF THE PARK! SHE BROUGHT SO MUCH LIFE TO THE STORY AND CHARACTERS. I WISH THERE WERE MORE BOOKS IN THIS SERIES.

great story

I enjoyed the story line, but confused at reactions to some of the story.

Wonderful characters in a story that made me laugh, cry, and wanting to read the next book in the series

The family shared problems that many face and they pulled together and solved things together. I finished the book in one day because I couldn’t put it down. Highly recommend

The author totally took me to a very tropical place with very ignimatic characters. Made me want to me them all!

My only disappointment was that at times I could not tell which character was speaking. Love, love, love this book!

mispronounced words/names

Loved the Sanibel series, so started this one. I like the story thus far, so I have already purchased the next two books in this series, but the narration takes away from the story. The accents are sometimes inconsistent from one interaction to the next such as Val’s, several names are routinely mispronounced such as the main character’s when referred to as BAck I stead of Beck, and there are odd word exaggeration at times.

Sweet story

This is a sweet easy listen. It’s book one of a series, so perhaps that’s the reason it end abruptly. Lovely is the only character that might entice me to listen to book two.
Narration was meh.

Book 1 Coconut Key

I thoroughly enjoyed " A Secret in the Keys", by Hope Holloway! Its a contemporary story of love, betrayal, relationships, and forgiveness. There is so much in the story that is easily relative to, Divorce, Mother and daughter relationships, male & female relationships, change, and second chances. I did need my tissue box for a bit there near the end, but you still get your HEA! 😍

I feel like I know the characters.

Love the story and characters. I will read them all! Starting book 4 now! Keep up the beach themed books!
