She never misses the mark.
Until the one mission that sets her on a collision course with the rest of her life.

She's precise. Methodical. Obsessively thorough.
After her father dies, she goes through the motions - never wanting more from life than what she's been taught to do.
Until she meets Ryan, who changes everything she thought she knew.
Her secrets are about to be revealed. But she's not the only one.
SECRETS is a fast-paced, action thriller full of suspense and secrets. This is NOT a romance novel.

I don’t know whether to be frustrated at the plot (building tension and a little anxiousness to see what happens next is a good thing) and characters or love it all! The twists and turns, the bad assery of Emily, the Sara deal, all of it makes me a little anxious and mad at everyone for Emily. I love strong independent women and all their complexities and Emily is definitely that! I love the struggle she has dealing with feelings about her father, her father figure, her boyfriend, and her life.
Emily - She’s had an interesting upbringing. Kind of born into and molded into the life she lives. Her dad left her for training at a temple in China and never returned. She grew up with him training her in closed hand combat and defense; their relationship wasn’t so much father / daughter as it was trainer / trainee. Through the tough training though, Emily still loved and mourned him. Relationships are hard because of her job. And because of her job, she has some kick ass toys and works out all the time BUT never really develops any close relationships.
Sgt. Stoltz – He is also one of her trainers and a close friend / colleague of her fathers, stepped in to the role of father after hers was presumed dead. Emily’s training continued when her father disappeared, until she was ready to work on her own and he gave her the contact for her first job.
Sara – Emily’s contact, they only communicate via computer but they have a friendship of sorts. Their encrypted transmissions are funny, sometimes joking banter between friends, and sometimes not so funny when Sara seems to get angry or frustrated for not being able to get a hold of Emily; implying she’s lost focus on the job or is spending too much time with Ryan.
Ryan - Emily’s love interest, he’s typical. Kind of bland, I thought, but nice. Normal. A cop trying to piece together the string of murders that continues to pile up on his docket.
Emily is finally starting to see a way out, a light toward a brighter future with Ryan. What happens next will make you not want to put your kindle down!

My first book by this author, and I truly enjoyed it reading every chance I could. Secrets is loaded with twists and action constantly. I hope that in someway he continues with these characters, I loved Ryan and Emily, both are strong characters who find each other but their secrets are soon to be revealed.
