Something to Hide
Raised under the watchful eye of a house slave, southern belle Lily has lived a comfortable life on her father’s tobacco plantation. Unaware that her life of luxury comes at a price, she is devastated by the truth about her parentage.
In love with rancher Brock Cunningham, Lily marries him though Angela, his devious former flame, vows to reclaim Brock for herself. And Syrus, an unscrupulous foe, plots revenge after Lily spurns his advances.
Uncovering the secret of her birth, Lily’s enemies enact an insidious ruse to tear her from the life she has known. Abducted into the seedy world of slavery, Lily survives the auction block to find her way home. Has her marriage to Brock survived Angela’s schemes?
When Syrus exacts his revenge and Lily finds herself in his arms, will her love for Brock prevent her from succumbing to his scandalous demand? Or will Lily make a choice that will leave her with something to hide?

So I really enjoyed reading the author's 'Slave girl in the Harem' so I decided to read this one as well. This book was less enjoyable than her other book. Overall it wasn't a bad read but it could have been a lot better. I liked the premise. However, there were several scenarios for which I had to suspend believability for that time period.
Moreover, the whole time it felt like she was the one from the wrong side of the tracks (I don't mean the race part) not the daughter of a powerful plantation owner. Said plantation owner, was just there. When the daughter returns from her 3 year ordeal, he doesn't even try to get the details on her assailants to bring them to justice. It was just like, oh well, let's take you for your mom so you can have dinner.
The villain and villainess basically got away with everything they planned every time they planned it the whole book and nobody ever questioned or suspected them. To add insult to injury, the author didn't even gloss over what ultimately happened to them so no comeuppance there either. All we learned is that the dad (who finally showed he was there other than to say hello and obey his lover) said that he was going to take care of Angela. We are not shown nor told how or what happened. Same for her brother.
I like my HEA to be detailed with all the good things happening to them, including what happened to the bad people. That was not the case here. The ending feels very bland.

Fantastic, Gripping, Historical Novel
This has got to be the best historical novel I have ever read. If you liked Roots, you'll love this.
