Publisher's Summary
It Started with a Secret: the scorching new novel of this summer, from the Sunday Times best-selling author.
The trouble with secrets is that you can't guess what the consequences will be....
Lainey has lost everything. Luckily one little fib (OK, quite a big fib) helps nail her dream job. Soon she's living in a stunning house by the sea, fending off obsessed fans for a retired - if far-from-retiring - actor and organising his charming but chaotic family. It's definitely worth the challenge of keeping her secret.
At least Lainey isn't looking for love. It's time for a break from all that. And yet...Seth, the actor's grandson, really is rather attractive. There's growing chemistry and a definite connection between them. But how would he react if he knew she hadn't been honest with him?
Lainey's not the only one with a secret, though. Seth has one of his own. And everything's about to start unravelling....
A beautiful Cornish setting, one chaotic family and a woman who's had enough of love. Or has she?

Fabulous!
Oh this book delivers everything! , you invest and love the characters, all with such different personalities and stories, but you really want to be part of the mad family.
The story goes along very well, and there are some giggles along the way (Specially the guitar player!)
Narration is fabulous - there is NO reason why you should not purchase this book!!

Awful
Where do I start? The "performer" gabbles this thing out at 100 miles per hour, like she can't wait to get to the end, often sacrificing all expression. The story starts out promising, but soon disintegrates into the mush of meaningless, grey pulp. The characters, again start promisingly, but fade to 1-dimensional, cardboard cut-outs.

Started with a secret and ended with a big thumbs
I love Jill’s books as even if there is a few bumps along the way there is usually always a nice happy ending to look forward to... and ‘It Started with a Secret’ was no exception.
Lainey and Kit, fresh from losing their jobs in a beautiful French chateau (and their boyfriend in Lainey’s case), decide to become a fake couple to take on a new job in St Carys in Cornwall as live in help to the family there. What a super plan - how could it fail... only Kit is gay and Lainey soon develops a crush on her handsome new boss Seth!
It was a lovely listen, the kind of book I would usually enjoy on holiday, so given the good weather of the last few days I decided this was perfect to read on staycation in the garden.
The descriptions of the idyllic locations in the book were great and really painted a picture in my mind of the settings both in France and Cornwall.
All the main characters were lovely - even the ones with minor flaws were very endearing.
Lovely story and narration.
A thoroughly enjoyable listen - grab it while the sun is shining!!

Wonderful as expected!
I always have no doubt I’ll enjoy any book by Jill Mansell, and at times one pops up with storyline and characters that live on in my mind to be brought out and remembered with a smile. This book is one of those, with everything popping into place. Funny, touching and cuddly warm and all set in a beautiful house in a beautiful village. What more could we ask?
Thankyou Jill - from Melbourne Australia. 😘

A light touch
This is a fun story with some interesting characters. The heroine I found unbearable - pushy, self-righteous, annoying and completely lacking in both filters and self awareness. Within a matter of days of getting the job, she has bullied a stranger into a date with her employer which ends in embarrassment - “this is all my fault!” Yes, Lainey - yes, it is. And the self-righteous demands that her employer answers all his fan mail - well, I hope Jill Mansell reads and responds to all her fan mail after making such a big deal of it in this book. This is a bit of a predictable story but that makes it good to listen to as you don’t need to concentrate much. The narration was not to my taste. Everyone will have their own preferences but a very clipped English accent didn’t really suit the more breezy nature of the story for me.

Ariadne Hui thrives on routine. So what if everything in her life is planned down to the minute: That’s the way she likes it. If she’s going to make partner in Toronto’s most prestigious law firm, she needs to stay focused at all times. But when she comes home after yet another soul-sucking day to find an unfamiliar, gorgeous man camped out in her living room, focus is the last thing on her mind. Especially when her roommate explains this is Choi Jihoon, her cousin freshly arrived from Seoul to mend a broken heart. He just needs a few weeks to rest and heal.

Four very different people are named in a will.

One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

Paint your toes. Pick up the wrong coffee and bagel order. Drive from Brooklyn to Jersey in traffic so slow you want to tear your hair out. It’s amazing all the useless things I can accomplish while on hold for three hours with customer service. Three hours when I should be getting the Date-in-a-Box website ready to launch at the big business expo in a few days. Except my shiny new website is glitching, and my inner rage-monster is ready to scorch some earth...when he finally picks up. Not the robot voice I expected but a real live human named Kal.

It’s officially booty o’clock, I’m alone again in my kitchen choking down a slice of terrible chocolate cake…and I’m pretty sure I just got drunk texted by the man I have a ginormous crush on. I’ve been daydreaming about Eliot Hoffman’s dimples for two months, and even though I’m sure this was a mistake on his end, it doesn’t mean it’s not an opportunity on mine. It’s the middle of the night, and I just wanna talk to him. So I text him back.

There’s a wedding on the horizon, and Georgia Carpenter couldn’t be happier. But that doesn’t mean she’s lost sight of everything that still needs to be done to get the Sea Glass Inn ready for opening. Not only is she preparing for that, but the magazine photoshoot is right around the corner, too. As is the town council election. Most people think Travis Taylor, the inn’s handsome handyman, is a shoo-in, but with Lavinia Major as his opponent, anything could happen. And probably will.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 9,527
I'm getting really good at cutting my losses. First, the husband. Divorcing him was the best decision I ever made. But between single-parenting and job-hunting, I can't catch my breath. When a celebrity blogging position falls into my lap, I'm determined to succeed. That is, until I get my first assignment and actually see Noah Frazier for the first time...practically naked and dripping wet. My heart races and I forget how to form complete sentences. His chiseled abs, irresistible smirk, and crystal blue eyes are too perfect to be real. So, what do I do? Get drunk and humiliate myself, of course.
