This wasn’t the way I wanted them to find out, but the universe doesn't seem to be on my side these days.
But now they know, both of my secrets.
I'll need to learn to balance the new changes in my life, while battling with the old wounds of the past.
They say they don’t hate me anymore, and that they just want to start over.
I want that too, but how can I forgive them after everything they have done? How can we just move past it?
Will they think I'm worth it when life becomes too hard?
My life is about to become a whole lot more chaotic.
This has been one of my worst years so far, and the pain isn't over yet.
Would having them by my side make it easier?
Life is short, so why not grab the bit of good I can find and hold on tight. Surround myself with the love of the people who mean the most.
Because I feel I am going to need it.
Our story has only just begun.
Silver Valley University is a college bully, Reverse Harem. This book may have some darker themes. Please be advised that sexual assault is a big topic in this story. Graphic s€x. Swearing. Age gap. Alc0hol abus€.
A struggle to finish. Weakest book so far and everything is so cringey… From all the love interests, the only decent and great one is Theo, I couldn’t care less about the others and personally I could never have forgiven them.. It’s okay to make peace because it was all due to a huge misunderstanding, but I wouldn’t have given them a second chance. Theo is the best for her and truthfully, he is enough.
4 Stars AHH THIS SERIES IS SOOO GOOD! I finished this book in one go. Seeing Ellie experience and deal with the trauma she has faced is truly inspiring. There has been so much heartbreak, angst and more importantly so much healing between the characters. I loved how Lilly interacted with Rain and the guys. All the nicknames she gave them were HILARIOUS!! Especially when she declared Brody was Broody. Can we just take a minute to acknowledge the last two chapters...Woah... I NEED book 3. I need to know what happens next. I'm super excited to continue this series. Highly Recommend!!
2.5 stars. This is such a let down, after the first book had SUCH a good set up. It was a second chance RH with a secret baby. The heroine Ellie got raped at a high school graduation party, her harem thought she cheated, so they turned against her, then she had a secret baby that they didn’t know about. Then when they met again a few years later in college, they bullied her. Great stuff! So much angst, so much potential!
But this book dropped the ball. Although Ellie didn’t take them back right away, she mostly DID take them back after just a few apologies. The ways that they bullied her in the first book put her job in jeopardy when she was a struggling single mom – but that’s never acknowledged here, and they never apologize for that specifically. When they find out she’s got a kid, that plot line is all about THEIR feelings about now being parents. And Ellie is even concerned about making the situation more comfortable for THEM. The fact that they put Ellie and their daughter at risk financially last book is just swept under the rug. Why doesn't a single one of them offer to contribute financially, if they consider Ellie's kid to be "their" daughter? That would go so much further than just saying "sorry," so I'm not impressed with their weak apologies.
It’s the same way with the way they bullied her. Like, yes, they apologize here, but the specific things that they did to her last book– in making her out to be a whore to the whole school, causing her to get hit on everywhere she went – re-traumatized her after she was raped. And that’s just swept under a blanket “We’re sorry, we feel like monsters” apology, rather than dealing with the specifics of it. Especially for Brody, Ellie forgave him WAY too easily this book. The story made her pity him, and made it HER responsibility to be nice to him. He's basically let off the hook, and absolved since he has a screwed up home life. This story lets him off the hook so hard, that Ellie and Theo even give him pep talks about how Brody should be with Ellie, and stop punishing himself. Just such unsatisfying storytelling, all around.
With the bullying in general, this book seemed to retcon what happened last book. In this one, Ellie says that she wasn’t as upset by the bullying as she was by seeing the people she once loved turn unrecognizably cruel. That’s not true! Last book, she was actively traumatized from what they did! But instead, this book just kind of shrugs at that.
Theo was also boring and completely unbelievable, having no personality outside of wanting Ellie to have everything she wanted. Their insta-love bored me in the first book too, but at least in that one, the story itself didn’t feel overly sappy, since she was being bullied so strongly, so the plot lines balanced each other out. Here, after the bullying plot line is gone, the entire story has just taken a wholesome, sappy turn – and the change in tone is jarring.
This series wants to have its cake and eat it too, in being a hardcore bully story, but also being a very wholesome story about a bunch of people who just love each other. But, in abruptly shifting gears, it’s leaving a lot of the bullying stuff unaddressed, and making Ellie seem weak for taking them back too soon. I'm not sure that I'll read book 3.
This book was so freaking fabulous!! To say I'm obsessed with this series and this author is putting it lightly, and with that cliffhanger in the first book I couldn't wait to have this baby in my hands.
Ellie is finally getting the grovel she deserves after all she's been through, and this book was like an entire grovel from her Harem. My heart ached with how awful they treated her in the first book, but with Theo by her side being loved the right way, Ellie truly flourished. And it may be the bitter in me, but I loved how Chase, Jax, Brody and Rain all thought they lost her and had to watch her be loved up on with someone who never doubted her. Theo is undoubtedly my favorite, but each person put their all into making it up to Ellie, and I truly fell in love with all of them. Plus the way they all loved her daughter and claimed her as her own (yes, even Brody, lol) just made me swoon!! I also love how different Ellies relationship is with everyone, and how Theos mom accepted all of this without judgement. Honestly this whole book was perfect!
I also really loved how this author handled the court case scenes. As someone whos been sexually assaulted, it was so freaking nice to see a pos actually have to face the consequences for their actions.
But that cliffhanger?!?! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!?! AHH, I need book three NOW!!
**I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions **
*************************************
OMFG, WHAT THE HELL KIND OF CLIFFY IS THAT?!?!? My poor fucking heart. I need book three now man.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
What an absolute rollercoaster ride… I knew Secrets Revealed was going to be a doozy, but I wasn’t expecting quite that much emotion, angst, and heartache 😅 Ya girl was not prepared
I will say I loved this so much more than the first book—I struggled A LOT with that one, but getting to see how much of a truly resilient character Ellie is definitely helped. She’s been through and continues to go through so much, and yet the amount of grace, kindness, and forgiveness in her… Amazing. She’s such a badass!
I also really loved how the relationships changed in Secrets Revealed as well. Theo is 😍, that man is absolutely perfect and so accepting of Ellie and her past, and he is so willing to go above and beyond for her. Literal boyfriend goals.
Plus the boys and Rain’s character growth in this is 👌🏻 & I’m really looking forward to seeing how their relationship progresses now that they’ve taken steps to mend all the hurt between them.
The ending of Secrets Revealed has me all kinds of gutted though. Things were finally looking up 😩 I need book 3 now please 🙏🏻
I'm glad we got to see some groveling in this book but it just wasn't enough for me. Ellie forgave them all a little too easily and I really hated how Brody became the victim at times and even Ellie was trying to comfort him when it should have been the other way around. Also I would have loved to see the group get close to Theo since he's now such an important part of Ellie's life. Instead Theo felt very much on the outside of the group and even though I liked how he would take a step back and let Ellie be with the others, it happened so much that he was pushed farther into the background and at times it was like he was forgotten.
I'm reading ahead to the final book but I really hope it picks up some, this book was a little too boring for my tastes.
I wouldn't say I’m DNFing but I am putting this book down at 34 per cent. I feel like all the plot points from book one have been resolved and I'm okay with stopping here.
DNF Underwhelming and doesn’t meet the expectations set by the first book. All it takes for Ellie’s past loves to get back in her good graces, after ruthlessly bullying and humiliating her, are a few tears and a simple apology. Ellie takes on trauma after trauma like nothing ever happened and it doesn’t read like a coping mechanism but poor writing. I dislike the harem more than ever (Brody is especially bratty and unbearable), and I hate how entitled they act and feel towards Ellie. None of the characters are expanded upon and the drama feels like something out of high school, not college.
I’m not crying, you are! Fucking shit I need to get my head around everything that just happened. Because I’m not over exaggerating when I tell you that A FUCK TON of shit happened and then BAM cliff meet hanger. Good lord my fucking heart can’t take this abuse. *throws book at Alisha*
If you ever wanted to know what it feels like to have your heart chopped up into tiny pieces & thrown down a garbage disposal I’d highly recommend Secrets Revealed. Throughout the entire book we were hit with HUGE twists and turns. There was no predicting what Alisha would throw at us next. Oh and just when you think you see where the big finale is going… you are dead wrong. (That’s an inappropriate pun that you’ll understand after finishing the book by the way. You’re welcome.)
Have fun on your dirt bike ride with Secrets Revealed. I’d remind you to wear a helmet and knee/elbow pads but those won’t do shit to protect you. Happy reading!
Secrets Revealed is book #2 in the Silver Valley University series. Its a college, bully, reverse harem. Make sure to check the trigger warning.
We pick up right where we left off in Hidden Secrets and it's an emotional rollercoaster ride the whole time.
Ellie has to deal with what happened in the past, the whole group finds out the truth of what happened that night and Lily is revealed in a crazy, mothers worst nightmare way.
Chase, Jax, Rain and Brody grovel and apologize and Ellie is working on her relationships with them, while things with Theo are progressing too.
So much happens in this book, i seriously don't even know what to put into this review 😂😂
Secrets Revealed is absolutely incredible and Alisha did a phenomenoal job. I wanna cry with that cliffhanger though 😭😭😭
This was really hard for me to get through, I enjoyed the 1st book and read it quite fast, however am struggling with this one. Everything is going too well? Never thought I would say that, but hear me out, these asshole literally left her after she was raped, accused her of cheating and left her to raise their baby on her own and now suddenly that they know the truth, everything is chill!?!?
NO. Its not easy, I was expecting some MAJOR groveling maybe even a bit of fun sexy revenge, I just cant take this seriously anymore, its too sweet, too sweet for something so traumatic that should technically NEVER be forgiven. I know this is an RH novel, but I would almost respect the FMC more if she ditched the entire harem just to be with Theo, truly the only person worthy of her (and her kid).
So yeah....all to say, this is gonna be a DNF for me, i got to 35% of this book and decided I dont have the time nor patience to continue.
O.M.G….that cliffhanger is killing me!! Now I am going to be waiting on pins and needles for Secrets Embraced, book 3, of the Silver Valley University series!! That cliffhanger did its job but I think it was pure evil. Anyway, I really enjoyed Secrets Revealed!! There is sooo much unresolved but you (as a reader) can feel the book coming to an end and the HEA seems to be right around the corner and then bam 💥 things goes sideways. Every time you (as a reader) feel like you know what comes next things do an 180 or is it a 90 degree turn? There is so much twisted, turns, ups, downs, drama, angst, secrets, revelations, things going sideways, emotions, and so much heat (the panty melting kind)! You absolutely don’t want to put the book down or you might take the risk of loosing your place. I know for a fact that I did not put it down and read it from start to finish in one go. Took break only when I had no other choice (for necessities). I have read only a few of Alisha William’s books and she is quickly earning a spot in my favorite author list. I love books that can draw out emotions and that you can’t put down combined with all of my favorite elements that I mentioned above (twists, turns, things going sideways, drama, angst…etc). I highly recommend Secrets Revealed, Silver Valley University as a series, and Alisha Williams as an author. I plan on diving into Emerald Lake Prep and Blood Empire series while waiting for Secrets Embraced. I really want to know what happens to Ellie and her loves (Brody, Jax, Chase, Rain, and Theo. Ellie is so strong, resilient, forgiving, and has grown so much since Secrets Hidden. Ellie may be able to stand on her own and is much stronger than she believes herself to be but Theo has been her rock and without him I don’t think Ellie would have given Rain, Chase, Brody, and Jax another chance. She believes she found the strength with Theo’s support but she could have but with Theo and her friends she was able to forgive without losing herself. She showed her strength by knowing her worth and not being a door mat. She is also teaching her daughter the value of knowing her worth and not letting the people closest to her walk all over her. Just when things start to looking up and positive things are on the threshold things take a 180 and bam there is the cliffhanger. Oh well, I guess readers will find out what happens to Ellie and her loves in Secrets Embraced. Alisha Williams, author, did a fantastic job with Ellie and showing how all of the characters have grown and how much they still need to work on. I am going to be counting down the days till Secrets Embraced will be released. I absolutely recommend Secrets Revealed, Silver Valley University series and Alisha Williams. Happy Reading!!
I was anxious and scared to read this one because I knew that it was going to break my heart and it didn't disappoint.
Ellie is an amazing character I love how she is vulnerable but strong at the same time. She get me feeling everything. Her character is an amazing representation of a survivor. I also love that she didn't gave in fast she knew that she loves them but she also knew that they hurt her really bad and that she was in control of letting them in even when her heart wanted them. I love that she took the time to build a relationship with each of them without rushing things. It was perfect. The grovel was on point at least for me. I was very happy with it.
In this book we get know each of the guys and Rain in a deeper lever also we get to see them as they are not the heartbroken/as$holes they were in the first book. We get to see another part of them and the deep emotions and how they really feel. Don't get me wrong I really liked that they suffer because of their own actions and seeing them broken was needed but I also want to see them happy. I went from hating Brody to loving him.
I love the friendship that Ellie build with the girls and Cooper is amazing I love that even when she have the guys and Rain she also have an amazing support sistem with her friends. Val is so funny I want her to be my friend. I love that she doesn't have a filter and she speaks her mind and doesn't care what people think. This one is the perfect group of friends. I also like that apart of her friends she was able to conect with Aria I love that part.
Lilly oh Lilly you have my heart she is so sweet and loving also funny. I love how she open up to the guys. Toby is an amazing kid but well his father is Theo and he is an amazing Dad/man and boyfriend ❤️
Theo... I lick him and he is MINE. Theo is the perfect man. He is amazing, he is so perfect that is scary LOL I want him. He is so understanding and he know what Ellie needs before she even ask. PERFECTION..
Can we talk about the sexy time wow this one is HOT HOT HOT... at some parts I had to take breaks and read them again you know just to make sure.. 😈
This book was perfect exactly what I wanted. Amazing characters and side characters. Perfect plot and development and that ending... the ending broke me in different ways. I was crying and sobbing by the end. It was hard to read and heavy but it was perfectly writen. I can't wait for more looks like I like pain because I need more.
To say I was dying for this book was no lie. I couldn't wait for Secrets Revealed and I didn't think there was going to be another book until I finished reading this one .... it left me with my mouth hanging open -- like WTH!
I am absolutely LOVING this series and can't get enough of these guys with Ellie. She totally made them grovel and boy did they grovel because they totally did her wrong in the first book. I was so mad at them at the end of the first book and didn't think they could redeem themselves in the 2nd book, but I guess we all deserve a 2nd chance especially when you prove yourself worthy of a 2nd chance and these dimwits proved themselves to her -- so I guess they grew on me in this 2nd book.
My love goes to Theo though because maybe since he's older and wiser, he knew know to treat her well since the beginning and never misjudged her. He loved her from the get-go and understood her and even accepted her for how she was and for what she believed in and for who she was. He is a good person. He loved her daughter and was a great guy since the beginning.
I just am in dire need for the next book and can't wait for it since these cliffy's are leaving me literally DYING!
5 Stars
**Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review**
Secrets revealed is book two of the SVU series and starts exactly where book one left off. Alisha immediately throws us back into the story and what a roller coaster ride it was!
The emotions Alisha invoked in me never stopped. I was angry, sad, happy, and at times just confused. We see so many different sides of the characters she created, especially Brody. Theo and chase are still my favorites though…I mean swoon. Also - can we talk about how cute Lilly and Toby are? I can’t imagine them being any cuter!
Alisha created a story that represented healing for Ellie and our group while also throwing more situations at us that kept me on the edge of my seat up until the end. The court scenes invoked so many emotions in me and were the perfect length and detail to make us really feel for the situation and represent what our group , especially Ellie, had to go through.
This book was a wild ride! You’re going to experience every emotion in the spectrum along with well placed spice that had me melting. Alisha showcased her talent from the first page to the last. If you haven’t started this series yet I can’t recommend it enough, and if you have? Be ready for this book. I think I drank a bottle of wine.
Alisha, I’ll be sitting on the edge of my seat until the next one. ❤️
Secrets Revealed by Alisha Williams is a college bully reverse harem romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Angelina Rocca and Oliver Highpoint. This is the second book in the Silver Valley University series.
This is the second book of Alisha’s that I have read, and it won’t be my last. I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. I really enjoyed getting Ellie, Brody, Chase, Jax, Theo, and Rain’s points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
The book ended on a cliffhanger that left me begging for more. I can’t wait for the final book in the series Secrets Embraced to be released on audio so I can get the rest of their story.
Angelina and Oliver did a great job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.
I would recommend this series if you like college romances, bully romances, or why choose romances.
Secrets Revealed by Alisha Williams is book two in the Silver Valley University series. This book is a college bully why choose romance. This series covers some HEAVY topics. So please check your trigfera before reading. In this book we get to learn more about all the characters and watch them change and grow. These characters are raw, real, and so relatable. Now that truth of what happened that fateful night has come out, Body, Jax, Chase, and Rain have some major apologizing to do to Ellie. And also this ending... THIS ENDING! I am not okay. And I won't be until tye next book comes out.
Omg! This book gave me all the feels! Ellie is so strong for what she goes through in this book and then add the boys and Rain on top of it all…. She’s amazing! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a FMC be this strong mentally. I’m loving her relationship with Theo and the other boys and Rain. And we can’t forget about sweet Lily! She’s absolutely adorable! Ellie is a great mom and a strong woman! But this cliffhanger we are left on….. Alisha and I are going to have words!!!!!! I screamed and wanted to throw my iPad!!!!
I absolutely love this series and I just can’t get enough. Ellie is such a strong, brave, hardworking, courageous woman. Theo and Chase are my favorites and they are such great men. Rain is slowly get better and Brody is coming around slowly. It was such a great book and I can’t wait for more.
In the first book i hated brody with a passion! Now i love him! I wasnt sure how you would do it but damn did you kill it! Also im not happy with you about that ending i think your trying to give me a heart attack!! I cant wait for next one!
Another killer book by the lovely Alisha. I was really feeling for Ellie in this book because it seemed like she just couldn’t catch a break no matter what got sorted out there was everything right around the corner to mess with her again. And that cliffy, this one was the best one yet! Can’t wait to see how everything comes about in book 3
Omg !!! What in the Hall of Hades was that cliffhanger ending???? I’m gonna need more ma’am that was so kind of bitch slap of an ending. Book 3 please. Omg this book was so good .

Pages: 405 Style: Single Parent, Age-Gap, Contemporary, Enemies to Lovers, Reverse Harem, Twisted, Single Parent, College, FF, MM.
This was certainly one emotional rollercoaster ride packed with angst, heartbreak, justice, and love.
I did think there was a really great basis to the story and Alisha did a great job at writing beautiful but troubled characters, but I just felt like there was too much going on and too many people in the 'group'. I personally would have loved this if it had been culled down a bit and not so many tropes being played out.
In saying that it still was a beautiful read with lots of angst (I'm glad Ellie didn't make redemption easy on the boys and Rain), plenty of emotional moments, well-written steam, and of course the cutest little girl ever... Lilly, who in my mind stole the show!
Overall Alisha did a good job, and I'm intrigued to see what happens in book 3 - there is certainly a lot to unpack from that cliffhanger!!!
"No matter what happens, we have each other, and Lilly has all of us. We won't let anyone down again."
“Sweet girl,” Theo whispers in my ear, so low that only I can hear. “Close your eyes and listen to my voice.” I do as he says. “Take a deep breath.” I do. “And I want you to remember this. You are strong. You are a fighter. No one can tear you down unless you let them. You are beautiful, caring, loving, and brave. You are Eleanor Tatum, and don’t let anyone take your crown.”
——————————————————
⭐️: 5/5 🌶: 5/5
——————————————————
Holy. Wow. This book picked up right where book 1 left off, and it was also just as good as book 1.
Ellie. Sweet, precious Ellie finally got her justice, and I couldn’t be happier that she’s finally getting some closure. Lilly was just as sassy in this book, and I couldn’t get enough of her interactions with Rain and the guys.
Theo. Still SLAYING. Seriously, where can I get a Theo? The man is perfect. He treats Ellie and Lilly like the queens they are, and makes sure they always feel treasured and loved. And that moment between him and Lilly just about KILLED me - IYKYK.
Rain, Brody, Jax, and Chase or should I say Fire, Broody, Axe, and Ace? They definitely had A LOT of character development in this book. It was good to see because they had a lot to make up for. Still do, in my opinion. They better continue to grovel and worship the ground Ellie walks on.
All in all, this book honestly stole my heart. There were so many sweet, loving moments between everyone. The way their family is coming together makes my heart so happy. On the other hand, this book had so many heartbreaking, almost cathartic, moments for each characters. A few characters pretty much had to hit rock bottom in order to start healing and moving forward.
And that ending? Alisha, you really had to hit us with a double whammy didn’t you?
You should seriously add the Silver Valley University series to your TBR if you’re looking for a reverse harem romance that involves age gaps, MM, FF, single dad, and other tropes.
Here we go again with this amazing series! I really enjoyed this book, and it left off exactly where it ended in the first one. It immediately threw me in for another roller coaster ride. I was swearing up a storm, crying, and so happy with some instances. I mean, I was really invested that I updated my progress of emotions on the book as I went.
Alisha knows how to bring out emotions. I mean, I was reading with my book bestie Torri, and let's just say that we could not stop talking about it as we read together. I went from happy, sad, excited, angry, and sometimes even a little confused. I definitely did not like Brody for a long time. I had a REALLY hard time forgiving him. I will say by the end of the book, I didn’t hate him but didn’t overly love him either. I feel like he started working on being there for Ellie, finally, lol. I have to say one of my favorite moments of SVU 2 is Brody being scolded by Lilly! I died of laughter on that part, and it was so cute!
Let’s talk about Toby and Chase. I absolutely loved these two. To me, Chase made up for a lot he didn’t do in the first book. Then, Toby is such a freaking cute father to Lilly and Toby both, and how he treats Ellie brings tears to my eyes. He is so sweet with her. They are both SWOON-WORTHY. Ellie is such a heartstopping and loving character. She has been through so much already, but she comes out strong on the other side still.
The court scene? I was filled with so many emotions throughout the whole book. I thought that these scenes were put into such perfect detail and length that I was able to really feel for the situation, especially poor Ellie.
I absolutely loved this book. It is such an amazing story about healing and love. I can’t wait to see what Alisha does with the third book. Let me tell you, it leaves you hanging with TONS of questions and emotions, but so worth the read.
This book had me in a chokehold. It was so full of emotions I was laughing and crying, sometimes both at once. I tried to read it slow and savor it but it was impossible because it kept me on the edge of my seat. I knew this book was going to break me in all the best ways and I’m wasn’t let down. Watching Ellie grow as a character has been so rewarding, she has been through it but she draws from her inner strength but is also willing to lean on those who love her for support and I love the message that conveys because it’s not weak to lean on you tribe.
I was not disappointed by this book at all the plot, the character development, the spice! All of it hit just right. This is a heavy read as the subject manor centers around a traumatic assault, Alisha Williams manages to make you feel it all along the way through and it hurts so good. 🥲
In this book we got to know the Silver knights Brody, Chase & Jax better and their POVs give us the ability to really feel their remorse for the parts they all played in Ellie’s pain. We also get to see Rain work towards building something new while also making amends. Theo stays our ever present support that man must be protected at all cost!! Like omg if I HAD to choose Theo would be my choice luckily we don’t have to pick! Lol
I absolutely love getting to see each relationship develops at its own pace, nothing feels rushed or out of order and I especially loved getting to have scenes with just Jax & Brody too. Aside from the fact they are hot as sin together they show so much more vulnerability in this book. The growth is just top shelf!
Then we have the spice. Oo my goodness 🥵 HOT!! Ellie is a lucky girl because her harem took real good care of her. Lmao.
GAH! That cliffy! Why, why would she do this to us! How could she leave us with THAT!?
Cliffhanger aside, this book is fantastic! It’s an emotional rollercoaster – make sure to read the trigger warnings – it gets into some pretty intense stuff so be prepared ahead of time. It was almost impossible to put down, and if I didn’t love my sleep so much, I wouldn’t have put it down. There is so much trauma within these pages and Alisha did an amazing job of conveying it. She handled the courtroom scenes incredibly well and she did a fantastic job of getting the point across in a very realistic way. If you’re someone who’s dealt with this kind of trauma, she did it justice.
Ellie is an incredibly strong character, she puts on a brave face, but underneath she’s kind of falling apart. She must decide if she can work on forgiving her exes who – let’s face it – have a terrible track record. Thankfully, Theo stays by her side every step of the way. He's a fantastic character. Well, they all are but in vastly different ways. One secret is now out in the open, now, Ellie must decide whether she’s ready to share her other big one. Ultimately, that decision may be made for her. The turmoil she feels is expressed beautifully throughout these pages. The spice is yummy too!
I NEED the next book asap, that cliffy was not nice! But da*m if I won’t be anxiously awaiting the next book. If you need a good cry, this book is for you. It’s filled with angst, drama, heartbreak, fear, tears, turmoil, and more. There’s also a lot of love throughout these pages. Love that can be felt in a real way. I can’t wait to see where these characters take us next, I am all aboard this rollercoaster – I’m super invested – so bring on book three!
I have been looking forward to this book for months ! This is book 2 in the Silver Valley University. This is a second chance reverse harem romance. Book 1 left us with a cliffhanger that left us with pounding and very sad hearts. This book isn’t at all easy on the heart either. Ellie is dealing with a past trauma that occurred the night of her high school graduation. Her harem, ( her lovers and best friends), were misled by the incident and were torn apart. Ellie has since started over, and all the secrets she has kept from them after they left her, have come to light. Things begin to change between them all as they work through all that has happened in the past, and work on building a relationship again. As they are doing this, Ellie faces the worst person of her past in order to get justice for what he put her through. Her story, and the journey going through all of this is absolutely heartbreaking. You can feel her panic and anxiety as she is in the trenches of it. Her boyfriend Theo, is the perfect book boyfriend. He is supportive, adores her daughter and cherishes the ground Ellie walks on. He is so madly in love with her , he will do anything for her and her daughter. The development of these characters and how they’ve grown has been amazing. Ellie is years beyond her age in maturity, and she never ceases to amaze me with how strong she is and how she handles every tough situation thrown at her with poise. This book will absolutely have you in tears, multiple times. This ending will leave you breathless. This isn’t a light read. It deals with very hard topics that an be triggers for many. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As soon as i reached the end of the first book Hidden Secrets i started looking forward to more right away! From the moment this second installment was announced i wanted to pick it up! I started reading it and got back into the Silver Valley University world! I enjoyed this second book!
Ellie's journey continues! I wasn't sure what all was going to happen next with her, Theo, The Silver Knights, and Lady Rain. I was glad to get back into this world.
I really liked getting to see Ellie and these characters tackle secrets, pain, and the past as well as the present! Once again, i was feeling so many things from beginning to end! Ellie is a great and strong character that i connected to. The chemistry between her and the other characters was so good and blushworthy!
This second book and it's characters kept me on my toes, wondering how everything was going to play out for them this time around! I was glad that i got to dig deeper with them as well!
With Secrets Revealed, Ms.Williams has created such a good continuation that had me feeling all kinds of things throughout! I am so looking forward to more in book three!
