Forever Secret
Sophie Davies has a secret . . . in fact, she has quite a few secrets.
Sophie Davies is the head of weapon development for a private firm contracted with the Department of Defense. Because of her knowledge and high security clearances, she has kept her job a secret for fear of kidnapping and sabotage. She always knew some groups would kill to learn what she knows, and now someone is trying to do just that.
Nash Dagher trained to become an elite weapon for the Rahmi Royal Family while he served at their horse farm in Keeneston. But for the past two years, Nash has been running an operation for the King—an operation once completed would result in his promotion to the head of security for the entire royal family in Rahmi. But when Nash discovers a threat against Sophie, he must decide what is more the job of his dreams or the life of the woman he loves. But will Sophie allow him back in her life?

I really like the relationship between Nash and Sophie. How they had to find themselves before they can could find each other. Sophie develops weapons, and a crime boss wants to take Sophie for what she knows. Nash, all around badass, just got done taking down a mob boss. When he finds out that someone is after Sophie, he goes after her to save her. After not see or talking to each other in over two year, the sparks start flying.

Secrets a-plenty....
Not to sound biased since I am a huge fan of Ms Brooks, but she amazes me every time! Swoon-worthy alpha men, strong women, and the families of a small town, so well written.... you would wish it really existed. Guaranteed well rounded trip with humor, heart, and action. Each book is a standalone, but better enjoyed if read in succession. Trust me.... you won't be disappointed.

Kathleen Brooks hits another home run with her newest book. This has been one of my favorites for the new generation. Sophie and Nash's story was one for the ages. She manages to balance romance with action and suspense while keeping the readers fully engaged.

I still want to live in Keeneston. I love this town and all the people. My favourite place to go in my head. Loved this book.

3 - 3.5 Stars
Forever Secret is the fifth book in the Forever Bluegrass series (Bluegrass Book #19) by Kathleen Brooks. ‘Bluegrass’ combines romance and suspense, with a touch of Southern charm.
A few years ago a friend recommended this author, and her many series, to me - as she had devoured every book and absolutely loved them, singing the author’s praises from high from the hilltops. So, being an avid reader who loves discovering new authors and enticing reads, I took my friends recommendations seriously, and started amassing Ms. Brooks many books, with the plan to have a huge binge session/buddy read with my friend. But with so many books on my TBR, and new, exciting ones releasing every week, I always seemed to get pulled into other books- as these just kept piling up.
Since part of my yearly reading challenges for the past few years has been to dust off my TBR pile/s and read the books that have been languishing there the longest, I decided to finally dive in and get the series read. While I did ‘enjoy’ the books for the most part- I didn’t fall madly in love with them as my friend promised that I would. But that’s ok, I am really happy that she loves them as much as she does. But for me, they were just an ‘okay’ read.
With plenty of small-town drama, intrigue, angst, chemistry, humour, community, family, friendship, charm, mystery, tension, danger, emotion, and suspense- the stories are about finding love unexpectedly and love conquering all.
The books can all be read as standalones if you wanted, without feeling ‘lost’ or like you are missing big pieces of the picture. This is because each instalment introduces its own ‘couple’- providing plenty of romance, a dash of suspense, and some sweet development to make your heart flutter.
But I have to be honest, I found there were a few issues which detracted from my overall enjoyment of the stories/series. Such as the ‘wordiness’ which really slowed the flow of the storyline at times, as there was such an overwhelming amount of detail which didn’t really ‘add’ to or propel the story in any way, except to perhaps distract from the plot. I love details, normally- but not when there are pages of descriptions, as things tend to ‘bog’ down and the flow/pace/plot gets lost amongst the detritus- and also leads to some ‘wandering’ storylines. There were also many loose ends, for me- threads that were left hanging, or not fully woven into the storyline- which I found a bit frustrating.
I really wanted to love this series as much as my friend did…. but instead, I was left a little disappointed.
Happy reading! 📚💙

I love Kathleen Brooks but this was rediculous!
I have I think 14 books in the series and this one I forced myself to finish!
While I love the combined and epic personalities of this community, and I have read the preceeding novels, this litaney of people is rediculous!
I'm thrilled the town protects their own.... but this is absurd!
While I enjoy the town gossip and betting system, this townie crap was embarrasing!
Kathleen Brooks succombed to whimsey and fantasy (okay it is fiction) but some basis in reality is required!
While the plotline is fantastic and unimaginable, it is still in the realm of believability! Unfortunately the cartoon characters and unrealistic plotline are horrendous!
Because I wanted to know how the convoluted story could end, I read and finished the book!
I never, ever had anything but 5 star ratings for this series! So horribly disappointed in Forever Secret! Not worth reading, and I know it it's harsh! Kathleen needs to know when she cranked out garbage!
Such a huge and unforgivable manuscript! Where were the editors and Beta readers? Kathleen needed to hear the truth and was abandoned by all the people she acknowledges at the end! Shame on you!
Great series abandoned by the author! Your better than this! Have some pride!

I don't know how I managed to read this series out of order. I jumped from #1 to #5. I wouldn't recommend reading out of order.
Nash and Sophie's relationship/drama is contained in this book. In that regard, you can say the book can be read as a standalone. That would not be my recommendation. I think the books are better read in order. There are so many people, family, and friend connections within Keenestown, it can be and was hard to keep track of all of the relationships.
The main mystery in this book was the identity of Ares. The fun of this book was following the people of the town along with all of the highly connected undercover military, special ops, government agents, and spies attempt to keep their no so secret professions from each other.
I did enjoy Eric G. Dove's narration. He easily made me forget that there was only one narrator for the book. There was some action, suspense, danger, and a touch of violence. I also appreciated the lightheartedness of the book along with the humor, wit, and sarcasm. This author has other series that can be read out of order without too much trouble. Imho, this is not one of them.

Sophie and Nash haven't really had any interactions with each other for 2 years when Nash left without a word on a secret assignment. Sophie was bitter and pretended not to care that he left her without a word. She moved on with her life and became adept at designing and engineering weapons for the government and military regimes throughout the world. When Nash's assignment leads him to believe that Sophie is in danger, nothing will stop him from protecting her. Sophie quickly realizes she was partly to blame for Nash's leaving and acknowledges her mistakes pretty quickly. Nash was quite reticent to open his heart again right away and so Sophie realizes that she needs to put her feelings on the line and see what happens. Sophie's life is in danger for most of this book and the town really steps up to help. You know it's a full on alert when the Rose sisters don their brooms, spatulas and pots and pans to help out. Overall a good, quick read that had me wondering what was going to happen next. It was a nice addition to this series and I was glad that I read it.

OMG WHAT A PERFECT BOOK 😊
Loved this book! Loved all the characters! Loved the story line! Loved the humor! Loved the romance, suspense and true friendships! Love that all the older couples were featured along with the younger couples! It did not take away from the swooney and loving relationship between Nash and Sophie.... It just enhanced an already perfect story! I so enjoyed the newer people's antics also..... Especially the polar bear boxers!!! How cute was that! Kathleen's stories are as near perfect in a romantic suspense as you can get! I love that when I am reading them all of a sudden there will be a little nugget of humor tucked in a sentence that will make me laugh out loud and smile with contentment at getting to read such a delightful book!!! I never want the series to end. So far I have read every book in the Bluegrass genre to this point and have enjoyed each one immensely and think they are getting better and better. Give this series a try and you will be in reader's heaven!!!!

Overall Amanda score: A
From the overprotective fathers to the mothers simply wanting grand babies any way possible... this book will have you laughing, crying, freaking out, scared for their lives in more ways than one. Once again the Rose sisters make an amazing appearance throughout the book. As well as our well hated Nikki.... But getting to FINALLY see Sophie and Nash make their way back to each other was so good. This book hit me in all the feels, laughing, crying, all of them. I am not going to lie, Nash is the one guy throughout this series that I dream about at night... Sorry Sophie... Oh and sorry to my husband.
The way Kathleen writes of love, family, friendship, heartache... It really makes you thankful to have a piece of what they do. While part of it seems a little far fetched and unrealistic... I mean this is fiction right??? But it also seems very attainable. Want what they got?? Go kiss your husband... I'm serious... Go plant one on him, and not a sissy kiss either.... I will wait....
Still waiting.....
There.... see???

From Audible Account Review:
Sophie and Nash didn't get much of a chance to act on their feelings years ago due to personal fears but two years later, Nash learns of the danger Sophie is in and rushes to help her. This is one of the more action packed books in the series with two total bad ass characters. I love how strong women are portrayed in Kathleen Brooks' novels and the utter sex appeal of the men. There doesn't appear to be anyone who is average (except maybe Deputy Dinky and his family) in Keenston and you get to see a lot of it in this book in particular.
Narration by Eric G. Dove is always on point!

Well, there certainly were secrets galore in this book! Just like all the rest, the characters are witty and wonderful, the town is as good as it gets, and the Davies family never ceases to amaze. The secrets in this one are both big and small, some you’ll never suspect, and others are actually pretty obvious. The matchmaking never stops and the ones who think they’re in control may or may not be. Another hit in the Forever Bluegrass series. As always, you know who to bet on for the next book because of those second generation matchmakin' mommas….

This by far had the most danger and action of the Bluegrass series since the first three installments: Bluegrass State of Mind, Risky Shot, and Dead Heat.
When Nash left town without saying goodbye it broke her heart. Nash has done some dark things while he's been away. Now his assignment is over and he wants to go back to Keeneston, but the king has ordered him back to Rahmi. Nash disobeys the king and goes to London where Sophie is negotiating the sale of her new weapon design. When Sophie is attacked Nash saves her life, setting off another suspenseful story of love and danger.

Another great story
Nash and Sophie were so compatible. Their love stayed true thru their 2 yr separation. I love the camaraderie between the Keeneston town folks, truly one big family. I also love the continuing stories with the children. Can't wait for the next book centering on Gabe. Hope the wait isn't too long.

Another great book in the Bluegrass series. Forever Secret tells Sophie and Nash's story. We knew there was a history but with so much secrecy involving both main characters no one knew exactly what happened between them. Now Nash is there for Sophie when her life is in danger because of the job she walked away from him for.
February 6, 2017
Love love love it. Seriously can't get enough of these books. Sophie and Nash have such a wonderful relationship even if they had a fight two years ago that neither have forgotten. Love the humor from everyone even the animals. I can't get enough of these books or anything Kathleen Brooks writes.
January 27, 2017
All I have to say is this book (and all the others from Ms. Brooks) makes you wish that the town of Keeneston, KY, really did exist and all the characters in her books really lived there so you could move and joint them. Forever Secret makes you laugh, cry and keep the pages turning. I can wait for more so I can revisit Keeneston and all its residents again!!!

Roar!!
This book was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend it. Kathleen does it again! Nash and Sophie met 2 years prior. Nash fell for Sophie, but she turned him away. 2 years later they reunite. What will happen between them? Read to find out. This book does end with a cliffhanger.

I finally let myself read this next installment #didntwantto
I caved, I had to know what happened with Sophie & Nash not only now forward but two years ago when they nearly ......nope not spoiling it.
On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being opened the book and 10 being lost for words it was so good, I'd rate this about a 12! I have saved this on my kindle since it was released, it was preordered as soon as it was available so why did it take me so long to get to it? I knew I'd have to finish it and I'd have to wait for the next in the series this is THAT good. Kathleen Brooks has woven a 2nd generation series into the characters we all love so much from the Bluegrass series, skillful, entertaining, action packed, familiar, sweet, shocking, and on and on but cutting to the Chase read it, read them all, you'll be addicted and have fallen in love, laughed, gasped in shock and cried buckets, through some of the best writing/stories/series available. I'm not a relative of Ms Brooks just an avid reader!

Kathleen Brooks has woven a 2nd generation series into the characters we all love so much from the Bluegrass series, skillful, entertaining, action packed, familiar, sweet, shocking, and on and on but cutting to the Chase read it, read them all, you'll be addicted and have fallen in love, laughed, gasped in shock and cried buckets, through some of the best writing/stories/series available. I'm not a relative of Ms Brooks just an avid reader!

Hot and dangerous? Yep, sounds like Nash. Sophie is still mad at Nash for leaving 2 years ago, when will she get over her anger and admit she loves him? Another on from Miss Kathleen that I loved, I finished this book in 2 days, we went hiking so I didn’t have much time to read Saturday. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did! Happy reading!!

Another Winner
I have been reading all of the Bluegrass books since I discovered them. The characters make the books. Knowing that there are secrets to be uncovered in each book makes them all the more worthwhile. The Rose sisters make every book memorable, even if they are only minor characters.

So much fun
Seeing the antics of generations of town families is wonderful and funny as scoundrels from older generations get payback for the stunts they pulled by dealing with their offspring. Top off that with suspense and intrigue in international locales and you have a formula for excellent reading.

Sophie is another Keeneston Beauty that was always taught how to stand for herself and those she loves. And in a time where she is figuring out where she stands in the world without her small town, she realizes that no matter what, her small town has her back. But especially Nash, if only she lets him in. :)

Another awesome read
Nash & Sophie .. I've waited long for their love story to unfold. With heartbreak and 2 years of no communication, heartbreak and anger they are finally reunited and headed for a happily ever after.
Love it and can't wait for the next lucky couple.

Another fantastic read
These books just keep getting better and better. So much action all the way through, and plenty of romance. There is always such a warm feeling when reading about the characters and dialogue to make you laugh.

Always Amazing
Sophie and Nash burn up the pages with intrigue and passion. Taking down evil masterminds is all in a day's work for Nash, but winning Sophie's heart, will require all Nash can give.
