Where to begin with this story? It took me on such a rollercoaster. I think the title, "The Secrets We Keep" is such a perfect title for it because everyone in here keeps so many secrets. At the end of the day, despite it all, their still decent people. Plus I just love this author's writing style. And I'm ready for much more! I loved the whole vibe of mystery & suspense this story took me on. Was so intriguing trying to guess who did what, & who's lying on who, etc.. It was like trying to solve a puzzle & I could not stop reading until I figured out everything. There's so many ups & downs along the way. But its well worth the journey.Anabella was at the core and the center of all of this. She went through such tragedies regarding her family. And the "huge secret" that's she's keeping hidden, isn't really all that bad like your alluded to think. It was such momentum built up in the beginning of the book like she's holding this huge, big, dark secret that will change everything. But then once it comes out considering the circumstances she was in, I don't blame her for doing what she did.And then Julian. Somewhere along the way around halfway through the book I began to not trust him. He was always coming home late, always having these private conversations & whispering like he was keeping stuff hidden from Anabella. I knew something was fishy about him.Lucas I feel like I trusted the most. I feel almost sorry for him in some ways. He truly cares about Anabella. And did all he could to protect her. I just wish things worked out better for him than it did. It wasn't as much sex in here, but the scenes that did happen were very steamy & sensual. Personally i'm not sure if I could get past everything concerning Julian. Some stuff can't be unseen or unheard. And no matter how much you try to justify, I couldn't get past it. Even though he attempts to redeem himself in the end. Sometimes once someone crosses certain lines you never look at them the same. That's the case with how I feel with Julian.All in all I enjoyed this book a lot! 4 STARS!
