Synopsis:
The only thing that Cassie Robichaud has ever really wanted is Will
Foret, the love of her life. But when Will discovers that Cassie is part
of S.E.C.R.E.T., an underground group devoted to helping women
experience their deepest sexual fantasies, Will breaks it off.
Heartbroken, Cassie dries her tears and focuses on her work with helping
the latest S.E.C.R.E.T. recruit, Solange Faraday. Cassie also reignites
her relationship with sexy bad-boy Jesse, even though she knows he can
never love her as deeply as Will did.
Meanwhile,
beautiful, brilliant Solange, a local news anchor and divorced mom, has a
great career but a wilting love life. She rekindles long-lost passions,
going deeper and hotter than any other S.E.C.R.E.T. candidates before
her. Can Solange find what her heart most desires? And when Will
realizes he's made a tragic mistake, will Cassie be able to forgive him?
My Thoughts:
S.E.C.R.E.T. Revealed is the final book in L. Marie Adeline’s S.E.C.R.E.T. Trilogy.
These novels take place in New Orleans and centers around a secret club that
helps sexually stunted women find themselves. In S.E.C.R.E.T. Revealed, Cassie
finds herself brokenhearted once her boyfriend, Will, finds out about her
involvement in the society. Will quickly breaks up with Cassie and wants their
relationship to be purely professional. However, this makes Cassie very
uncomfortable since she is a waitress at his restaurant. To make things even
tenser, Will had just recently named his new restaurant after her and he expects
Cassie to help run it.
Since her personal life is in shambles, Cassie decides to rejoin S.E.C.R.E.T. and
help the ladies with their newest recruit, Solange. Cassie throws herself into the
new restaurant and embraces her S.E.C.R.E.T. role. Sadly, she still feels like there
is a hole in her heart where Will once was. Will Cassie ever find her happily ever
after?
On the outside Solange is an award winning news reporter in New Orleans.
However, her love life is nonexistent ever since she got divorced several years
earlier. Her life literally revolves around her son and her sky rocketing career.
Sex and/or relationships are the last thing on her mind. However, when
S.E.C.R.E.T. takes an interest in Solange and offers her the chance to reinvigorate
her personal life, she finds herself curious and for the first time realizes that she
wants more out of her personal life. She decides to accept and jumps head first
into S.E.C.R.E.T.
Solange finds herself on an exciting and somewhat dangerous journey of
self-discovery with S.E.C.R.E.T. At the end of her journey and after completing
many of her steps, S.E.C.R.E.T. helps Solange uncover something about herself
that shocks her. S.E.C.R.E.T helps her believe that maybe you CAN have it all.
S.E.C.R.E.T. Revealed, by L. Marie Adeline, is very well written with well developed,
realistic characters. I think my favorite character in the entire S.E.C.R.E.T. Trilogy
was Jesse. His bad boy appearance combined with his heart of gold did me in.
Surprisingly, I never warned up to the character of Will. I don’t know why, but he
rubbed me the wrong way in the first book, S.E.C.R.E.T. I think I held that against
Will throughout S.E.C.R.E.T. Shared and S.E.C.R.E.T. Revealed. When he dismissed
Cassie in the second novel it was the nail in his coffin. Jesse, on the other hand,
really felt like the underdog to me and I was constantly rooting for his happiness.
To me, Cassie was not fair to him; in fact she seemed to string him along quite a
bit. I was happy to see how Jesse’s 'ever after' unfolded at the end of Adeline’s
S.E.C.R.E.T. Revealed.
S.E.C.R.E.T. Revealed, by L. Marie Adeline, is a fun and
steamy read. I definitely recommend reading the first two novels (S.E.C.R.E.T. and
S.E.C.R.E.T. Shared) first so that you know where Cassie is coming from and what
hardships she has been through. I definitely think this is another great summer
read!
