**I was given an eARC copy of this book by the author in exchange for my honest review**I highly anticipated the sequel to Seductive Shadows because the first book was so deliciously good and I must say that the author did not disappoint me!  I must start out by saying that if you have not read Seductive Shadows please do so before reading Seductive Secrecy - it will make the whole wonderful experience much better and you won't feel as if you have been left completely in the dark.Speaking of the dark - darkness is a main theme throughout these books. It seems to always surround the main character, Cee aka Charlie, in the first book and although it creeps around her throughout the second book you get a sense that it is dissipating slowly but surely.  She is an intrinsically strong character despite what she has been through emotionally and physically.  I can only use the cliche butterfly analogy to convey what Charlie undergoes from book 1 to 2.  A metamorphosis from an ugly caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly!Charlie and Cameron are two very beautifully crafted characters - sexy, intricate, artistic, insecure, alluring, broken, flawed and strong.  They complement each other like pieces to a puzzle and have this amazing chemistry together and there is nothing that can destroy what they have worked so hard to build - not the demons of the past, present struggles or future uncertainties."Cameron...my dawn.  He had broken through the darkness-my darkness-and pulled me from its depths.  I wasn't necessarily standing under the sun yet, or even beneath a mostly-clear sky strewn with clouds, but I was here and he was one of the reasons for that."This review was exceptionally hard for me to write for some reason without tons of spoilers for those who have not read the first book.  I must say that the author's writing is exceptional to say the least.  Her vivid descriptions have a way of transporting you to "a scene" in the book and it is almost as if you can touch, taste and feel what is going on in that moment.  The main characters are my favorite but you cannot count out the brilliant new and returning secondary characters - they add flavor, mystery and intrigue.  Another thumbs up to the author for the amazing plot development and overall flow of the story over the course of the two books.  The themes remained true, issues were resolved and the ending was everything I was hoping for -  IT ROCKED!!"Your dawn?" I repeated.  "Have you found it?"............."Not only have I found my dawn," he said, "but she's agreed to be mine forever."**5/5 Stars**
