Shattered Secrets

De: Lilian Harris

Narrado por: Lilly Drake, Aaron Shedlock

I was loved by two men—one was my husband and the other was his best friend.

I was only in love with one. Then he forgot I existed.

Hudson Mackay was the only man I ever wanted. The man I married. The man who promised to love me "'til death do us part."

Then he disappeared and never came home.

Everyone thinks he's dead. Everyone but me.

Friends tell me to move on. That he's never coming back. But with every single month that passes, I can't seem to let go.

His best friend Brooks swears I'll never be alone. That he'll always be there. But the stronger his feelings for me get, the more I realize how wrong they are.

I can't move on. Especially not with him.

Hudson wouldn't want that. But Hudson isn't here.

And soon, I learn Hudson was a liar. He kept secrets that could ruin us. Secrets I'll take to my grave.

I never thought I'd get the chance to see him again, to ask how he could betray me. Until one day, I discover he's alive.

Except, he has no idea who I am.

I never truly knew my husband. And now, he doesn't know me.

This is a standalone with no cheating and an HEA.

Pretty good…

I liked this story, though it dragged a bit towards the end. Narration was good.

Soulmate

Totally loved this story. From beginning to end, couldn’t put it down. Mystery, betrayal ,love , murder, disappearance, loss of memory and more. Aaron shedlock as Hudson was great. Lily Drake was new to me but she did an awesome job as Hadleigh. True love /soulmate will always find you.

This book…

Part one broke me. The grief. The struggle. The pain. It was visceral for me, I’m a new widow. I’m having a difficult time adjusting. To listen to FMC’s Hadleigh struggle with a loss…I was in tears immediately. Part 2 was great as well. The story was well written. And as a bonus, I had already listened to Lillian Harris’ books about the Irish Mafia so I knew the characters. I’m going to listen to the Messina Mafia books soon. This was really a great listen.

So emotional

The emotional roller coaster that almost broke me… I was not prepared for the amount of depth and emotion this story would have but I loved every moment of the angst & turmoil! If you love to be absolutely destroyed by a story then you need this!

Lilly Drake & Aaron Shedlock gave mind blowing performances, only adding to the amount of emotional turmoil I went through while listening to this audiobook.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

No complaint. This is my first Lillian Harris book. I'm excited to listen to her other books now.

Great story but too much smut

The storyline was great the characters awesome. The smut
was overwhelming. You can read a good story with some sex scenes, but these were over the top.

Love this author

I love the way these books all tie together and the plot twists are so great!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. Love it. Great job. Female lead that isn’t annoying and is underestimated. We need more

"It’s refreshing to have a book that delivered a captivating tale with subtle yet impactful twists, deviating from the typical love story norm. The narration, skillfully executed by both male and female voices, added depth to the characters, particularly with the soft, kind voice of the female narrator contrasting the stoutness of the male, lending authenticity to diverse character roles, from loving spouse to tough mafia persona. The absence of infidelity was refreshing, leading to a satisfying, happy ending peppered with unexpected turns that enriched character development. What truly stood out was the seamless integration of prior characters into fresh narratives, creating a cohesive and engaging experience. The book exuded a balanced blend of spice and depth, resonating deeply with themes of love and commitment. It's a must-listen for those seeking a nuanced romance with a touch of suspense and a lot of heart."
I’ve read thousands of books and 100s of romance. This made it to my top 10! 👏🙌🏻👩🏼‍💻💥🧘🥸

New twist with this romance

This dual POV story takes us on a journey through checkered pasts, finding true love, losing it, and fighting to get it back. Great story with a couple twists and turns and plenty of steam along the way.

Messy Amnesia Romance

The plot of Shattered Secrets is very good. Hudson and Hadleigh are soulmates. Hudson is a defense lawyer with a past and connections to the mob. Hadleigh had an abusive ex-husband, which is how Hudson and Hadleigh met. Four years ago, Hadleigh’s world came crashing down when Hudson disappeared. Hadleigh was left pregnant and without answers, with people lying to her. Four years later, Hudson is found alive but without his memories, living in a small town. Hadleigh had to fight for her husband and to find out who hurt him.

The romance was gorgeous. Neither forgot about each other or moved on. Their chemistry was palpable. The plot was well done! I love the suspense plot as they tried to piece together who the villain really was. The angst and messiness made this book bingeable.
