review 1: Poorly constructed story and the writting was bad as well. Every other paragraph begins with "and then he", "and then she", or he was "totally on guard", " he was totally sure". How did this get through proofreading without being changed?The story itself is just as bad. RIch woman happens to be married to two rich guys, one in the USA and one in Italy and has lied to her daughter about her biological father. Big scandal! All her friends and her friendzoned guyfriend turn on her and she freaks out and heads to Europe. The guy who is totally in love her of course follows her and saves her from being kidnapped. He then drags her all through Greece without ever answwering her questions and she's fine with it because oh he is so handsome and so I'm just going to go along with i... moret all and let him feel me up whenever he wants. Ordinary friend guy turns into James Bond 2.0 and rescues her from kidnapers again, they go to Italy and are suddenly married....The idea itself presented so many possibilities for this story. There could have been a true development to those characters and Katie finding her real family but in the end all she does is sleep with her childhood frined, take the longest route possible from Greece to Rome and then get married. Period. Really really bad.
review 2: Katie Derby had a simple life. She had always had everything that she wanted, wore designer clothes and drove the best cars. Sure her parents always seemed to have fights, her mom would fly away to Italy and her dad would go to Alaska. It had always been that way for as long as she could remember but they would always calm down and make up. Never in a million years would she have guessed exactly what had been really been going on and that when that secret was out, it would change her life forever.Jason and Katie had been best friends since they were small children and he saved her drowning at the country club that their moms often frequented. He’d never seen her anything other than his best friend, the one person that he knew he could always count on. At least he didn’t until she kissed him and all he did was sit there. He wanted to explain it to her but before he could, Katie’s life went spiraling out of control and she disappeared with no contact her to her family, friends or him. When he finally finds her half way around the world, he has no idea what’s in store for them because someone is after Katie and while they want her alive, they don’t care if he gets killed in the process.If you read the book Lasting Pride then you have read the Epilogue to this book because it’s pulled word for word from Katie and Jason’s meeting at the coffee shop. This was a great spin off book and I will say that while I was able to figure out who the bad guys were in the all of the other books, this one I had no idea and was really caught off guard when it was revealed at the end. I never saw it coming! Secret Seduction is another well written book by Jill Sanders with lots of mystery, intrigue and romance. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, Secret Pleasure, which features two of the characters from this book. less
