WHAT THE CRITICS SAY ABOUT THE SECRET
RATED 4 1/2 (TOP PICK)
"Hailstock is a master at creating characters who are so vivid that they stay with you long after the story is finished. The multilayered emotions of both Stephanie and Owen mesh so that one wants to rush to the end to make sure all's well. But readers are reluctant to do so becuase Hailstock writes in such a way that each layer must be peelled back at the appropriate time to full enjoy the story. The Secret is a true "keeper."

"Stephanie Hunter has many misgivings in crashing the wedidng of complete strangers..... Ms. Hailstock writes a story that is action packed with high emotional peaks that keep the reader coming back for more."
