New Beginnings #2
No Secrets Needed
After bidding farewell to his family and Trint, the man he's come to care for, Rafe heads out to sea, free to be himself for the first time in his life—free to learn himself, away from the constraints and trials of his mother, away from the terrible person he believed himself to be while forced to live with her.
When Rafe returns home his family is waiting for him—but there's no sign of Trint. With a little push from his ward, Rafe decides to be bold and go after what he wants, though he fears in the end that all his efforts might still not be good enough to overcome the past and the secrets that have controlled so much of his life.

This is a book that is a continuation of book 1. Bol one was more of a short story where this book was more of a novella.
Rafe has always had a hard time excepting that he had to play a role before he came of age and took over the family. He had to act mean and callous to those around him that he cared the most for. So I believe that has played a role into him taking the trip on one of boats to find himself. Which I also believe is a good thing for Rafe. I believe that he needed to see the different walks of life. That he needed to be able to offer refuge for those that was meant to do harm to his crew and him. I also believe that the experience was good for him because he grew up so to speak along the journey.
I believe the trip also solidified his belief that Trint and him was meant to be together. I believe that the courting gifts that Rafe presented Trint and his family was all from his heart. I think he though of things that would mean something to each of them or would bring the family closer to one another. I think that along the way he also realized that whether he is damaged or not that he does deserve to be loved by Trint and that Trint in return loves him just as much.
This book is a book that I believe is about overcoming ones past in order to be able to enjoy the future to the fullest. It is also about acceptance that just because one may not be family by blood, those are still family if you choose to be. And Rafes family includes those around him that he chooses to be family. Last but not least, I think it is a book about love overcoming all.

From Magnolia Reviews: Three Petals
I don't recommend this book. It was boring and lacked depth. Yet, I saw so much improvement over the author's writing between the prequel and this book that I can't help being hopeful for the future. Maybe Anderson's next book will be worth recommending.
