Leighton seems to have the perfect life at the beginning of the book. Until she doesn't.
It seems Leighton is trying to convince herself that her life is perfect as much as the author is trying to convince her readers. I love this part of the book, it really starts the whole story line off in exactly the right spot. Then people have a way of bumping into your life when you least expect it and your whole outlook on life changes within an instant. Flirting and attraction is a bad temptation for a starved-for-affection woman. Things get hot and heavy pretty quickly in this book. Someone needs to turn down the heat!
Leighton's husband, Mason, started off being okay and then he turned into a complete douche-sicle fast like he had multiple personality disorder or something. I can't believe the nerve he had bringing his so called secretary to dinner! I felt sorry for their kids all throughout the story.
I loved everything about this serial other than it ended way too quickly.
The blurb is very intriguing and hopefully we get some answers soon to those questions in it. Hint hint Ms. Haze can you write #2 quickly, please?

(...)(...) Le tematiche trattare sono importanti, di attualità. Probabilmente, anche adesso ci sono donne che si trovano in una situazione simile a quella di Leighton.
Segreti è stato un libro che mi ha piacevolmente tenuto compagnia per qualche ora e lo consiglio a chi vuole conoscere la penna di Violet Haze e a chi è in cerca di una storia breve.

Poor Leighton or Lucky Leighton?
I'm feeling rather torn after reading this book. I like Leighton, I feel for her kids and I appreciate that her husband is a complete douche, but I don't ever think there's good reason to cheat--not ever. You're miserable? Do something about it. You want to fix a cheater? Leave. But that's not what happens here and I don't know if I feel sorry for the girl or fictionally jealous of her.
Lying. Cheating. Perhaps the sweet taste of revenge? Not the prettiest of words to tangle with, but that's what we're dealt with in this portion of the story, and Violet has found a way to glamorize it and make you root for the woman to find a man who will cherish her for the beautiful woman she is.
Cole is the man every older woman desires--young, handsome, hungry for love and eager to please. Even though this fresh love interest is incredibly edible, I can’t reprogram myself to morally agree with the happenings in this story. Having said that, I know this happens often in real life, and a good storyteller Violet is. I'm very intrigued by the characters, the facade they have in place and the misery hiding just beneath the surface, set to explode. Looks like I'll have to read on to find out when all hell is going to officially break loose, in the typical Violet fashion I've come to love.

Another Violet Haze classic, she always surprises me with the twists and turns found in her stories. Leighton appears to have the perfect life – a great home, husband that provides well for his family and two fabulous kids. As we peel back the layers we start to see that this is all window dressing. When she crosses paths with Cole Vaughn, something sparks inside her, something that hasn't been there for years. What she should do with this new spark? At the same time, her daughter Jenna, is struggling at 13. She is very moody so there is something going on in her life that revolves around school that has me very curious. Her husband Mason turns out to be the jerk I expected. I love where we ended, there is so much more to this journey for Leighton and her family.

Wow, I can't believe how great this book is. Violet Haze has done it once again and made me love her writing even more. This book is awesome, this woman Leighton is a wife and mother. She hasn't been touched or loved in a long time. She can't even remember, her husband is verbally abusive and his family fears him. She runs and bumps into Cole, they talk as he is her daughters teacher. He asks her to have an affair and she has her feelings not too but she finally gives in just wanting to be loved. She goes with Cole and he is so wonderful with her. She doesn't know how it will work but she likes him a lot. What will happen? I can't tell you but the ending was awesome. I can't wait to read part two.

The first in another great series by Violet Haze!
Cheating. The word conjures all kinds of thoughts in my head - mostly that cheating is wrong. But is it really wrong when your soul has shriveled up?
I fell in love with Leighton. I don't judge Leighton for her choices. In some ways, she really doesn't have a choice if she wants to really live. The book reminded me not to pass judgement on others - there is always more than the obvious.
Needless to say, I can't wait for the next book in the series!
