Secrets & Lies

Book 1 in The Secrets & Lies Trilogy

by Joanne Clancy

Synopsis:

Kerry Darcy has loved Conor, her childhood sweetheart, for more than twenty years. They’ve built their dream home, raised a happy family and are still madly in love.

Hope Kennedy seems to have it all; a fabulous job, a luxurious apartment and best of all she’s married to her soulmate, Niall.

Two very different women, two perfect husbands; but what happens when their lives horribly collide?

The terrible force of chaos ensues; a force that takes its fateful hold on time and place. It ruptures the present, warps the future, replacing order with confusion, confidence with trepidation and control with powerlessness. Lives are ended for some, changed forever for others and a most significant chain of events is about to unfold with catastrophic results.

:

Secrets & Lies was a wonderful story. It kept building momentum as the stories of Kerry's and Hope's lives unfolded. The author described the characters in vivid detail and you felt as though you knew them by the end of the novel. There are also hints as to their lives possibly intersecting in the following sequels, which promise to be very interesting considering the cliff

hanger of an ending! I feel compelled to read Aftermath to see exactly what lies ahead for these characters...

Having read a few previous books by this author, which I'd also enjoyed. I have to say that Joanne Clancy just gets better and better every time and as a result this is a polished and well thought-out, intriguing story. It follows the lives of a couple of female main characters. Kerry who's married to Conor and Hope who's married to Niall and it sure makes you wonder how these two, very different ladies are connected and I don't want to spoil anything, but could it be their husbands? The sex scenes were handled really well as I've come to expect, for Joanne Clancy has a knack of making them downright sexy without being 'cringey' which is a major skill in itself. I got stuck into this novel right from the start and raced to finish it, seeing as I was carried away on a simple basis of wanting to find out what happens next. In fact, it's such a page-turner that I nearly missed my doctor’s appointment when they'd called out my name, but I was so engrossed in reading it that I didn't hear them until the nurse tapped me on the shoulder and I nearly dropped my Kindle. I can't wait for the second book in this trilogy to be produced and if you read it too then you'll understand, why!

Reviews:

Halfway through the book, the author throws us a left curve...which totally blows us away.I can't say any more, or I will spoil it for others. Just read this book.I was then glued to the book until the end.I can't wait for the 3rd part of the trilogy , "Redemption", which I believe Joanne said will be available in the winter. These are well written novels and so
enjoyable to read.

~ Coccotoro, Amazon

I truly look forward to reading book 3: Redemption since book 2 ended with quite a revelation. I highly recommend this series to readers who enjoy romance with a bit of
mystery mixed in.

~ Michele H., Amazon

I enjoyed the 2nd book in the series almost as much as the first. The loose ends of the story are being pulled together. The characters are developing. There are more areas yet to be pulled together. The book keeps you guessing as to what is going to happen next.I am anxious to read the next book.

Reviews:

This was an amazing novel to read. A defini
te 5 star rating.
~ Coccotorro, Amazon

I was hooked with the first book; the second book was great, so I had been eagerly awaiting the third book. I was not disappointed with this book. The emotional roller coasters each character endured all seemed realistic. A great
trilogy to read.
~ Running Mom, Amazon

I also found the ending to be very fitting and hopeful, even with the after effects that a scenario like this can have on a family which was handled with great dignity. And I'm really looking forward to finding out what Joanne Clancy is writing next, seeing as I do seem to connect with her characters so readily that I know it'll be well worth my time to get my hands on any future w
orks by this great storyteller.

Reviews for The Wedding Day

This is a magical book, compressed into a magical area of Ireland, and set in one of my favourite cities, Cork, in the deep sout
h west of that magical country.
It spans the emotional lives of two people and their families and friends, and starts with an emotional disaster and ends with reconciliation and love. Using a deliberately small palette, Joanne Clancy has delineated a story which can go round the world, with implications and connections to anywhere in the world.
So if you are fascinated by the myriad strands of human emotion, love and despair, hatred and disappointment, turning back to human warmth, buy this book.
~ John Walker, Amazon
