Secrets and Sin

by Olivia Jaymes

Zackery Winslow has returned home to Winslow Heights for his father’s wedding. As with any family reunion, he fully expects the event to stir up both fond memories and unresolved tensions. He didn’t anticipate reconnecting with Lucy Gilbert, a friend from high school. From their first meeting, an unexpected, but not unwelcome, heat simmers between them. This trip home might be better than he’d hoped for.

Lucy Gilbert remembers the fun, self-assured boy who believed that he had everything figured out all those years ago. She certainly hadn’t counted on the electric spark that she experienced upon running into the devastatingly attractive oldest Winslow. Unfortunately, she knows better than to believe that Zachery will stick around after the wedding.

The days leading up to the Winslow wedding take a very dark turn when human remains are discovered, possibly belonging to Zack’s missing mother. Dark secrets begin to surface one by one, revealing a family façade that could very well shatter with the truth. While Zack stands at a crossroads that could redefine his entire existence, it is Lucy who he sees at every turn. Will Zack have the courage to confront his past and protect his newfound love, or will the shadows of the Winslow family’s secrets consume them all?

Secrets and Sins🙄

Zack Winslow returns to his small home town, to attend the nuptials for his father and his aunt🙈 Years ago, Zack’s mother disappeared without a trace, leaving her children to mourn without answers. Now, upon his return - remains are found, just before the wedding. The results of who is found are shocking.

I started this book a year ago and got distracted multiple times. When I saw Cooper’s book had finally come out, I thought I should restart this book. My thoughts as to the remains and their relationship with the Winslows’ was correct. I’m intrigued to find out all the secrets in Winslow Heights and I’m jumping straight into Cooper’s story now❣️

A fantastic new series from Olivia Jaymes. I loved it straight away and I felt that I knew everyone (unlike some first in series books which seem to take forever to get to know the characters).

Zack and Lucy were great together, the plot really had me guessing, I worked it out only a few chapters before the reveal.

Great book - Cooper's will be equally as good I know.

3.5⭐


🗞️📖Two sensible adult MC's. I like it. I hope it stays that way after evolving the relationship.


🗞️📖Why Zack just assumed Cooper is jobless?


🗞️📖Yeah.... Blake showing his tattoos was suspicious.


🗞️📖The end was kinda rushed if I'm being honest.
