This is an awesome series. In book 4, Knox and Mica learn secrets about their own families. Struggling to handle the news, both are there for each other as they deal with their emotions in their own ways.  F on the very beginning of the series, we learn Knox never gave up on his search for Mica (a.k.a. Rachael). He loved her from the moment he met her. After the reunited, he will do everything in his power to protect her and keep her in his life. Will it be enough? I received The Billionaire! s Secret Kink Series free from the author in exchange for an honest review.

WOW...A great read!  Love lost, love found, love destroyed, but so much more.  No disappointment here and hopefully there will be a second book of the same.

Karen and Bye have known each other forever. A family feud that has been brewing for centuries makes getting involved a really bad idea. The pull is too strong to resist. But soon their secret affair isn't enough.

An interesting book full of secrets, pain, healing, love, and sizzling heat. Families torn apart and rebuilt hopefully stronger. Forbidden love that feels too right to be wrong.

With a storytellers gift the author weaves together a familys history of struggle and secrets from the days of the Great Depression to the opening of the current century. Each chapter focuses on one of three family members, beginning with the patriarch Emil Bachmann, a farmer in western Iowa whos determined to keep the family farm and maintain appearances at all costs. At the outset you're drawn into his own secret that colors his views.
Emils simple daughter Hilda will test his objectives when a passing stranger draws her eye and changes the family forever. Ellie, the third major player, grows up in the storm center of those family secrets and she wants answers no one wants to reveal. Who is she really? Who is her father? And why did her mother leave her to be raised by her demanding grandparents?
The style in each interwoven chapter reflects the individual, taking the reader into the characters world with keen observance of the place and time. As the story progresses, times change and the people evolve, often in surprising ways.
Once I started reading I didn't want to stop, and the characters still linger in my mind.

Everything I Never Told You is a quick read, yet touches on many complex issues involving society, relationships, and the ripple effect that words and actions can have on individual lives. This is the story of the interracial Lee family in the 1970s dealing with expectations, disappointment, and the willful, delicate act of raising children.

The teenage daughter and middle child of Marilyn and David Lee, Lydia has disappeared from her room and is found drowned in the local pond. As they struggle to come to terms with Lydia's death, the family begins to crumble under the weight of their loss. Lydias parents and her two siblings each had a special connection with her, and thus, each feels they have the key to the mystery of what happened that night at the pond.

The author, Celeste Ng, makes us aware of how our own words and actions, or lack thereof, can be consequential no matter how insignificant we believe them to be. Ng also reminds us that not every puzzle can be solved. We assign answers to queries for our own comfort, however, the truth is not always what we have deduced.

An interesting look at the mystery of vanishing people, who find themselves sent to historical times.  This story of a young woman, who is sent back to the 1600's, tells of her capture by a group of native Americans.  As she try's to find ways of escaping, she also finds the love she may have been sent back in time to find.

Thomas has a huge secret he is hiding from his family. Liis is not looking for a relationship. She says she emotionally unavailable. Not knowing who the other is when they meet has consequences for them. Neither is sure where to go from there. So glad they figured out everything and it worked out the way it did. Must read.

I really liked this book.  It has mystery, love, family issues and people overcoming life's hardships.  It is one you don't want to put down.  My only complaint would be the changing back in forth in time and character with each chapter.  Sometimes I had to back up to understand what I was reading.

Going Home

OUR DADDY THEIR FATHER is a poignant tale about shedding family secrets.  The story opens on Christmas Day, the day the father of Janice Michelson and her brothers dies, and follows them through the next week as they mourn his loss, come to terms with the past, and heal old wounds.  The death of Janice's father is significant because she, her siblings, and his relationship with her mother have been one of his biggest secrets.  He was in fact, married to another woman with whom he had another, more legitimate, family life.  When the siblings learn of his death, and go to the nursing home to view his body one last time, they are shocked to run into their half-brother and sister, who seem to already have a sense of who they are.  Over the next week, we follow the Michelson family as they prepare for the funeral.  Each of the children and their mother seem to experience a myriad of varying emotions as they revisit the past, try to make sense of their lives and the relationship that did (and did not) exist with their father, and figure out what role their new found family will play in their lives.

Bonita Young has penned an impressive debut novel about complicated family relationships.  Although much of the story is about the death and impending funeral of the main character's father, it also delves deeply into inherently human issues such as our need for love and acceptance, or the fear we face when we make ourselves vulnerable by relinquishing total control.  OUR DADDY THEIR FATHER highlights the impact of domestic violence, not only on the direct victim, but on the children and families who share that environment, and even the impact of substance abuse and AIDS on families.  The pacing of the story kept me engaged as I got to know Janice intimately and grew to understand her mother and brothers better.  OUR DADDY THEIR FATHER is a touching story about love, loss, and forgiveness.
