Good story!

I thought this story was interesting and it kept me riveted. I didn't think the ending was all that great, but overall, I thought it was a good read.

Unbelievable plot from the very beginning

Would you try another book from Kimberla Lawson Roby and/or Micaila Millburn?

Probably not. The storyline was pretty unbelievable from the beginning, so it was hard to really get into. I was really disappointed by the religious angle inserted at the end of the story. If this is the author's MO, I definitely won't listen to them again.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

After listening to the book, no.

Forgiveness

There were several twists and turns that kept you on your edge of your seat! But, I loved the picture of Forgiveness at the end!

Jaw dropping!!!

What made the experience of listening to Secret Obsession the most enjoyable?

I always wanted to see what Paige was going to do next.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Paige because she was so obsessed with her sister's husband that she would do anything to have him.

Have you listened to any of Micaila Millburn’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No not yet.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes I was sad because Paige was ruining her sisters life but I felt sorry for her because she just wanted someone to love her.

Any additional comments?

This was a very good book. I think that the narrator did a very good job telling the story. I want to read other stories that she has narrated.

Delusional

I don’t understand how the younger sister thought she was going to ride off in the sunset with her sister’s husband. I also felt like the older sister was to forgiving. It was also repetitive. How many times did I need to hear how Paige was jealous & hater Camille? Maybe, I’ll listen to it again, but I must say, I didn’t like it.

GREAT SHORT STORY

If you could sum up Secret Obsession in three words, what would they be?

VERY ENTERTAINING

Who was your favorite character and why?

PIERCE

Have you listened to any of Micaila Millburn’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Best out of many

I've read plenty of books by this author and she has really outdone herself. I love how redeemable Pierce is and it reminds me that Christ really does still create MEN with hearts after His own. Even Camilla's love endures for them both. Gives me hope & reminds me that the goodness God gives is unbreakable & how much I love my husband.
