In the sequel to Secrets I've Been Keeping, Laurel has graduated from university and living a life of new beginnings in Belfast: a new job with a creepy boss, a flat all her own, a cruise with friends, and a chance reunion with Christian, a childhood friend of Cathal, her deceased brother. Laurel finally gives herself a chance at love. Will Christian be the man who unleashes the passion within her? Will Laurel open herself to this handsome friend from the past? Will Laurel's memories of her brother's friendship with Christian bring pain or closure to her? Laurel's life revolves around love, friendship, and family ties until one fateful night when everything changes. She experiences a crisis which plunges her into the depths of depression. Laurel faces a crossroads - stay in Ireland and confront shame and humiliation or move to the United States and create a new life for herself.
Secrets Revealed: Book Two in the Secrets Series by T L Henry is the follow up to Secrets I've Been Keeping. This is a charming book with a touch of mystery, intrigue, and romance thrown in. We follow the life of a young twentyish Laurel who works in a boring job with a rather annoying, creepy, and sometimes inappropriate boss named Michael. When Laurel's dad has to repay a debt, things get complicated with not only Michael, but a thug named Ruben. Throw into that mix a romance between Laurel and her deceased brother's best friend Christian from childhood, and there is a lot going on in the book. Laurel is a well developed, if naïve character, while Christian was written as the knight in shining armor who may have a secret or two. I enjoyed this story while learning a little bit more about Belfast and the surrounding area.
