Secrets From a Happy Marriage

Secrets From a Happy Marriage



by Maisey Yates

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Women’s Literature is to my go-to genre, but Maisey Yates may have made a convert of me!

This book hit me with all the feels and the roller coaster when full circle to come to an ending that could not have been more perfect. I loved how three generations of women are represented and their life choices are followed and directed to see where it has got them and where they will take them in the future. 

Yates depicted a perfect representation of female relationships with her 4 lead characters: grandmother/ matriarch, mother, wife, sister, daughter, grand-daughter, grandmother, aunt, niece and friend. By telling the story through all the characters voices, it was easy and a pleasure to experience their heartaches and joys along with them. 

The growth all the characters went through really got to me… I have experienced many of the life events and related to these women. After reading this book I felt as if I had come out of my own trial successfully and the joy that brought was extreme.

This was an excellent story and I would recommend this to book highly to anyone looking for a good pick me up read.

Secrets From a Happy Marriage by Maisey Yates is scheduled to release May 12th, 2020.

Book Description

New York Times best-selling author Maisey Yates' new novel introduces the women of the Lighthouse Inn B&B. They might not have it all together, but this summer, they'll discover that together, they might still have it all....
Rachel Henderson's family is falling apart. Becoming a widow - especially at this age - is heartbreaking. With her teenage daughter, Emma, leaving soon for college, Rachel needs a friend - but local diner owner Adam is the last person on whom she ever thought she'd lean.
From the outside, her little sister, Anna, has a picture-perfect marriage. But the weight of it is suffocating her. The only way for her to breathe again comes at a high price, one she's not so sure she can pay. After raising two daughters on her own, their mother, Wendy, knows just how hard life can be. She's done things she's not proud of, things she desperately wants to keep from her girls - until keeping quiet is no longer an option.
As long-held secrets bubble up and their old lives unravel, this family will need all their strength to start again and open their hearts up to the possibility of more. But most of all, they'll need each other....

Remember Love Ravenswood series, Book 1 by Mary Balogh ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Historical romance queen, Mary Balogh introduces us to another brilliant extended family and reminds up to remember love in one swoop with this series opener! First off, this epic second chance romance gave me pure romantic chills that were remittent to reading Jane Austen’s Persuasion.

White Knight Needed

White Knight Needed Reluctant Heroes, Book 2 by Betina Krahn ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Barclay Howard is bigger and burlier than your average gentleman… and thus he has found himself to be somewhat of an antidote to the fairer sex. As a result he is more often found behind the pages of his Ivanhoe novel than out and about attempting to court a fair lady. But when his path crosses with down on her luck Norah Capshaw, his white knight complex rises up to make him go above and beyond again and again to be her hero… even though she is incredibly reluctant to the idea! This was a fun adventure romance filled with roadside hijinks, and a family mystery. Barclay was a perfect hero in this book. He was always there offering support and rescue to Norah. On the other side Norah’s resistance of Barclay and his efforts was the only wet blanket on this otherwise delightfully sweet romance!   Overall, this is my second Betina Kran book and I find her writing very light hearted and action packed.

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
