LynnMarie’s Review
Jan Bowles has a fluid way of writing that keeps you glued to the pages. Dark Secrets is a complex story of love, loss, and “dark secrets”. I enjoyed the sprinkling of suspense throughout the book.
Megan has a troubled past, making her the shell of a person she is as an adult. We get hints of her problems, but have to wait until much further in the book to grasp the full scope of her issues.
Sam Marshall is a proud bachelor, too busy with his career to worry about starting a family. When Megan comes back into his life, all the old feelings come back. A mixture of love and contempt.
The romance was sweet, and the sex scenes, hot! Dark Secrets had an emotional, character-driven plot. The ending had me smiling long after I read the book.
If you enjoy a classic, well written, contemporary romance…Dark Secrets is a great choice. Jan Bowles makes her characters so multi-dimensional, who can’t help but believe you know them. I’m looking forward to more novels by this author. She puts heart and soul into her words.
4 1/2 Tea Cups!

I've just finished this book and I'm in tears right now. What a beautiful love story. Some erotica that I've read is mostly all about the sex, but this one is just...beautiful. My heart ached for Megan throughout the book. And as she and Sam grew, so did my love for these two characters. The sexual tension was downright HOT. I was constantly wiggling in my chair. This story is definitely a MUST READ. I loved it!!

What a beautiful love story! *sigh*
This has to be Jan Bowles best book yet.
Megan has so many issues, but with the help of Sam, she overcomes her past. I loved the writing, the mystery and the steamy romance. Totally recommend this book!

Dark Secrets by Jan Bowles deliver a poignant story about an injustice of a crime that changed a young’s man life and forgiveness for the woman he is bound to love. This book has a soul that the reader will truly cherish. Reviewed by Connie Spears

I love Jan Bowles stories and this one was no exception. What let it down for me was the erotic content. Ms. Bowles has a lovely flowing writing style but the erotic scenes seemed forced to me and out of sync with her characters.
As usual the author takes a thought provoking theme and weaves a strong emotional story with three dimensional characters.
