Between the fallout from his father's latest shady business dealings and his wife Charisse's alcoholism, Evan Murdoch has his hands full. But he should be most concerned about the scandalous affair Charisse is having right under his nose - with his half brother. Evan's being pushed to the edge, and no one knows that better than Leila Hawkins....

Leila is back in Chesterton, divorced, penniless, and desperate enough to do anything to save her mother's home from foreclosure - including turning to Evan, her former best friend. But Evan isn't interested in friendship. Instead he makes Leila a shocking indecent proposal.... Meanwhile, Evan's newlywed sister, Paulette, wants to be the perfect wife. But a blackmailing bad boy ex has reappeared in her life - and he's threatening to reveal her most painful secret....

The scandals just won't quit - and for everyone involved, desire, betrayal, and lies are all in a day's work....

Great Story!

I loved it, it was, pure entertainment from start to finish??? Loving this author! Awesome!

book 1

I really enjoyed this story. I loved it except the 2 parts or 2 details. I won't tell you about the story or it's not my intent to. The story is about just what it says secrets. The 2 details I have issue with or I would have given it 5 stars are these l. 1st if someone drugs you and has sex with you its RAPE and nothing else. I your being blackmailed by someone and part of the blackmail scheme is to have sex with them and it's not your choice. Than it's sex with the person who is blackmailing you. Its not your lover.
Petty maybe, but lately everyone is trying to down play rape.

review

I didn't like the sister. she seemed like an air head. will there be 2

Great Story

Great Story..Hoping for a continuation! Love the story from the beginning to the very end!!!

Give me more.

I finished the audiobook in 3 days. This book keep me wanting more. The wonderment of when the secrets were going to be revealed kept me coming back for more. Excellent read

ending

I did not like the ending at all could of been a lot better. Disappointed.

Great Read

Loved this book. Paulette kind of gets on my nerve. I will be moving on to book two!!!!

Very good book!!!!

I didn’t expect to enjoy this book as much as I did but I was awesome. I went ahead and started with part 2. Can’t wait to find out what happens!!!!

Okay - Paulette’s story was so poor

I’m sorry but Paulette was written poorly. How can someone so privileged have been so stupid? To allow yourself to be blackmailed because you had an abortion that cannot be proven by anyone over a decade later is nonsensical. I’m 90% of the way through with the story and I don’t think I can stomach another Paulette chapter. We could have done without this character.

very interesting book

CATION: There maybe spoilers in this review.

this the second book I've read/listen to by Shelly Ellis. her books always catch my attention. I may check out more of her books.

I just wanted to throw my phone a cross the floor when I was listening to this book . the family in this book irked me so much. like they rather keep the secrets and or mess up their marriage or stay in a bad marriage. the only people in the book that didn't make me right were Leila, Antonio and Terrance.


but end the end they finally reveal there secrets and finally told. I was so glad of that. I got excited and said YES when Evan caught his wife Clarisse and his half brother Dante in the slower I'm like FINALLY.


And last but not least I had to laugh at the end when Paulette watching the news. I was glad Antonio didn't leave her. I did wanted to know what else happen between those to I didn't like how it ended I felt like it should've been more on Paulette and Antonio part.
