Great Read

Secrets (The Outsider #4) was a great read by Lorhainne Eckhart. Jed is the first man that Diana ever trusted and the first man to show her what true love was. He is not only the father of her child but also the one man she can always count on. One spring day Jed falls from the roof of the barn and Diana’s world as she knows it unravels. She must face his secrets and what happens if he is no longer there. I enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.

interesting story

the plot was good, however I didn't enjoy headstrong Jed he seemed way to controlling. I also didn't enjoy Dr. Gordon's part in this story.

the narrator was good

I also enjoy lorhainnes books in general.

Ranch Family Drama

A rancher's fall from the roof while fixing the barn kicks off a whole series of medical and familial issues for this wealthy, multi-generational focus.
I liked the story, but in the way I like watching soap operas. I didn't like many of the characters. The men are arrogant, over-bearing and secretive -- the kind of macho farm-breds who believe their women should be home, taking care of the baby and incubating the next one and that, no matter how much of a mess things are in, they can do it themselves and don't need to trouble the little woman. The women, though they grumble about it, for the most part seem to be willing to put up with that - until they don't, and that's when things get interesting.
By the end, Eckhart does offer us a happily ever after of sorts, but not everybody's life is rosy which leave lots of room for the next novel in the series.
An interesting read.

Not a winy life.

Struggled tie read very far into the book. Did not finish the book at all.

Another engaging story in the series

We are back with the Friessen family and another story revolving around Jeb Friessen and his wife Diana.
Jeb is the love of her life, butJeb is keeping secrets on the state of affairs. When an accident occurs and their future is in danger, will the truth come out? Will there be a HEA or will tragedy change everyone’s life?
I have come to love the stories this author creates. Why? Well, she gives us characters that are not cookie cutter, are imperfect in a life that is messy, yet wonderful.
I enjoyed the ebook, but always find the audio versions bring the stories to life and this one was no exception.
Looking forward to more stories in this engaging series.

great story line

great characters and narrative very enjoyable listening to going to listen to this book again

Awesome

These books and in this series are a Must Read and Listen to book and Audible. The Audible brings this Family to life. I read this book and the whole series so many times, I Love them!! But, when I started to listen to them on Audible thanks to Ms Eckhart, I really enjoy this series more. Because it brings the Characters more to life.

Good book

I love the story even though it was sad and some points and some points made me very angry that I love these books I love the stories

...a puzzle where nothing actually fits.

Eckhart has a gift for bringing the senses alive. Her stories are soulful looks at life and love through less than perfect eyes. Secrets is a puzzle where nothing actually fits. Diana and Jed thought they'd weathered their stormy pasts until an accidental starts to unravel it all. A powerful look at what love truly means and the danger that lives within the unknown.

Secrets between spouses aren't good.

Jed is keeping too many things from Diana and not treating her like the intelligent, highly educated woman she is. This maybe wasn't so bad until he is injured and unable to help keep their ranch and dream from falling apart.

The great thing about this story is how Jed's family rallied around him to help take care of the things that he couldn't do while recovering from a bad fall.

The main story for Jed and Diana is concluded in this book but there is a cliffhanger for Andy and Laura. I'm a bit disappointed to find out that the remaining books in this series aren't available as audiobooks. I do have the ebooks so I'll be able to continue reading about this close-knit family.

Once again, I really enjoyed the narration by Melissa Moran.

Interesting

Definitely an interesting listen especially not knowing the characters previously but it was enjoyable

Secrets between spouses aren't good.

I wrote this review back in 2019 and either forgot to submit it to Audible or they never posted it.
