Publisher's Summary

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.

SO good but didn’t quite wrap up at ending

I took off a star because of the ending. While not really a cliffhanger, it still didn’t quite wrap things up like I wanted. Added a new surprise with no more details on reactions. So of course you’re left wanting the next book. I love audiobooks and the narrator was great for this one. She does so many voices and sounds just like they should. Very talented.

This book was uplifting and made me want to go to the keys. It would make a great beach read. I loved the characters, except Beck’s husband. What a jerk. But looks like her pain will only lead to a bigger and better life in every sense. She also will grow closer to her daughters and learn new things about herself and who she thought she was. There are surprises and many new friends along the way. It opens up a new world and careers for her and daughters. I loved the daughter, Peyton. But I wish Greg would’ve found out and also seen Val. What a hotty. That would’ve showed Greg. I can’t wait to read or listen to the next one.

A great read! Warm and wholsome!

Keeps you interested the entire story! Once you solve the mystery, more secrets keep coming! Thrills and surprises throughout the entire story, all while enjoying a heartwarming narrative.

A Secret in the Keys

This book had me at the first chapter and I really look forward to reading the rest of the series.
