Almost
Everyone thought they married too soon but Casey disagreed with them all. Despite knowing and dating Craig for only ten months, she knew he was the one. What she didn't know was that Craig had a secret, a secret that could single-handedly destroy their marriage. Secrets are revealed. Trust is broken. Love is betrayed.
"Indiscretions" is told from the alternating viewpoint of main characters Casey and Craig beginning with their wedding day and chronicles the turmoil of their relationship. Though I applaud the author's effort, "Indiscretions" didn't quite hit the mark. Readers were given some insight into the characters' pasts, yet it still didn't explain for me their actions. Eventually, the voices of Enrique and Sheila are intermingled. It's a decision I question, as I felt neither character possessed enough development to have a chapter or two devoted to them. The timeline and progression of the story and relationships that lie within were hard to follow. In this reader's opinion, Yolanda Hooks Buick is in need of an editor to focus her writing. Again, I applaud the author's effort. With room for improvement, I am looking forward to more from her in the future.
