Secrets are burning out of control
After she broke his heart in college, Faye Walker is the last person fire chief Reese Bristow ever expected to see again, especially as his new EMT. But that’s not Reese’s only surprise. Faye has an eight-year-old son, Elliott, whose counseling at The Lemonade Stand shelter is her first priority.
It’s nearly impossible to accept that she had a child with another man—and married that man—right after their breakup. Trusting Faye won’t be easy. Especially when she reveals a secret about the boy that might tear them apart for good.

Other Books in the Where Secrets Are Safe Series
(Books released as of March 2017. Each can be read as a standalone.)
Okay, its me again with another 5 Harlie read from Ms. Quinn. But what sets this apart from the others in the series, is the content. Ms. Quinn took a very touchy, taboo subject and made it very grown up. Yes, grown up. Faye isn’t looking for a man to make her “right” again. She just wants to know that her son, Elliot, has the proper care after everything that they have been through. Faye and Reece’s story isn’t an easy one to read but read it, I did. My heart broke for them; it still does. This story hasn’t left my heart. I can’t imagine what Elliot heard and how his “father” hurt his mother all those years. He still has a ways to go but with the help of the Lemonade Stand and Lucy, he will come through.
Reese is an angry person when it comes to Faye. I was really surprised at his reaction to Faye when she starts working with him. I could sorta understand in the beginning but once Faye starting telling him what she and Elliot had gone through, I could see his heart melting a bit. What I didn’t except was reaction to Elliot once the whole truth came out. At that point, I really wanted to slap him but in the end, I think he finally understood what needed to be done.
Another in the book, is there are NO smexy times. I know, right? But once you start reading the book, you will understand. Faye doesn’t see herself as capable of having sexual thoughts, urges anymore. But what I truly like was seeing Bloom again as her counselor and helping her through her feelings toward Reese and how to cope with them and figure out what she really wanted in a relationship with Reese. I miss Bloom. It was nice to see her hubby again, too. Once the whole awful truth comes out about that night with Reese and Faye in college, I nearly wept. Miscommunication at that time, I can understand but the way that they finally come together…beautiful. I was crying a little.
Overall, Ms. Quinn tackles a hard subject and hits it head on. She doesn’t sugarcoat it with her characters but let’s her characters speak for themselves. This series is fast becoming one of my all time favorites. Her stories in this series just keep getting better and better. I can’t wait to see in future books how Elliot is doing and how the Lemonade Stand is and the characters that surround it. Bravo, Ms. Quinn. You did it again.
