Secrets by Robin Jones Gunn book review


I was giving the opportunity to review this book by the blogging with books program in return for this review. All opinions are my own.
When I saw that this was written by Robin Jones Gunn, I had to read it. She is a terrific author and has a way of creating characters that you need to know more about. I previously read her Departures book and reviewed it here http://dealsharingaunt.blogspot.com/2011/12/departures-book-review.html

Departures was a teen book however and this is an Adult romance. I have to admit right off the bat the action started, and I had no clue who Jessica was. I only knew that she was hurt and in the hospital from a car accident. She has hidden her past and decided to use a different last name. She is the new teacher at the school, and the principal set her up in a house. However the principal also ends up being in the hospital and is replaced my a real mean lady who has it out for Jessica. Jessica keeps finding good things happening to her, and she doesn't know who to thank. She even pushes away Kyle, the firefighter that rescued her, and stole her heart. He warns her about secrets, but does she heed his advice to late?
Kyle has a secret past of his own, and he knows what keeping secrets can do to a person, and how it can wear them down. He falls for Jessica only to be pushed away. Does he have enough love for her to fight for her?
Jessica and Kyle end up being chaperones for the mission trip to Mexico, and it is there that disaster strikes again for Jessica, and again Kyle is there for her. Is she finally ready to accept God in her life and how he has played a part in everything good that has happened to her? In doing so is she ready to listen to her heart?
