The Secrets of Hidden Bay #2
Constantine’s Secret
A bride with a Secret. More than one actually. A new husband with his own agenda and the dazzling stranger she can’t seem to ignore.
Love triangle at its best in this gripping emotional page turner!
We’re transported back to Baia Nascosta on the coast of Italy with this heart wrenching but romantic tale in the 2nd book of The Secrets of Hidden Bay.
Constantine is forced to marry into wealth. But something happens that changes her life forever. She can’t run. She can’t embrace it either. So she buries it. As deep she can.
But all secrets have a way of catching up to you, don’t they? How long could you keep a secret?
“Caught in the act she blushes and flashes him a quick smile in an attempt to disguise her foolish act. His warm brown eyes, filled with amusement, pierce deep into her soul. It’s undeniable. Their attraction to each other is so intense it’s almost palpable. ”
Will she get away with it or will it shatter her chances of true love till the day she dies?
“The moment is bittersweet for her. Standing on her terrace, watching the sunrise, her life couldn’t be more complicated than this. She’s wholeheartedly in love with one man and contractually committed to another. ”
Destined for a love everlasting or doomed for heartbreak? Love or Loyalty? If you believe in soulmates and irrefutable destiny, could you choose?

Well Urcelia Teixeira has done it again with yet another brilliant book written beautifully and artfully. Her unique writing style makes her books fun and fast paced and it is an absolute joy to read.
Constantine's Secret was, dare I say, even more enjoyable than Little Darling (the first book in the series). The plot is complex with twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. I couldn't put it down it down and ended up finishing the whole book in one sitting.
The main characters, Constantine, Luca and Mauro are well rounded and all of them unexpected developed throughout the story. They turned out quite different from the initial impression the reader gets of them. At first I thought Constantine to be a prudent, boring wallflower, she defiantly proved me wrong as she turns out to be passionate and adventures. Then there's Mauro, the handsome well groomed rich boy. Mauro seems to be exactly as spoilt and pretentious as you think, but then he changes, or does he? Last but not least is wild and and sexy Luca, with not a care in the world, but he too has a couple of secrets that comes to light as the plot unfolds.
I highly recommend Constantine's Secret and I await the next book with great expectation.

I absolutely love this book! It was even better than Little Darling and I'm so relieved to have found out what happened in little darling. Constantine's personality is so much like mine so she give me hope and inspiration. It's a great storyline. When I finished Little Darling I was so happy to find a 2nd book.
I escaped to Italy all over again and couldn't put it down until it was done. Can't wait for her next book.

My heart was left in Italy and I had to back to fetch it and I also had a few questions I wanted answers to ......
Urcelia has a gift of transporting you 💓 Will I read it ? YES !
Will I recommend it ? YES !
Constatine reminds me so much of myself ....Books are my constant companion and I also sneak off to read during social gatherings 😉😋
Let me start with the dedication.....such a personal thing and thank you for sharing 💓 Thanks to Ricardo because without him i wouldnt have been able to meet Carina and Constatine and enjoy their journey 😚
Constatine and her family are off to the annual parade which ends up at the D'Antonio Estate but there's a twist this year ....an anticipated announcement .....
Constatine meets Antonio but is "betrothed " to another . Their story is intriguing to say the least and again my heart is left in Italy !

I liked this book, but, as with Little Darling, not really my type of book. Love stories are OK, but I prefer to read something a bit more exciting, with more a story line that has more than just a love triangle to carry it along. Hopefully Urselia Teixeira's next book will have more elements of what I like. Certainly a promising author, as far as I'm concerned.
