S.E.C.R.E.T. is a quick read, and enjoyable. Cassie Robichaud is a woman who has been damaged by the men in her life – first her father, but most recently by her deceased husband. She happens upon/ is discovered by a secret organization that rehabilitates women’s self esteem and personal power by sending them on a series of sexual adventures and fantasy fulfillment. Although I skimmed through some of the novel’s sexy times (you know what to expect after awhile!), I loved that the novel explored Cassie’s feelings about her husband, why her relationship with him was so damaging to her, and how she needed to focus more on her own wants and needs before she could make capable decisions about choosing the right man for her life. Just when things really start looking up, Cassie hits a snag that sends her in another direction, as is to be expected in the first novel of the series.

Wow.. Where do I sign up??

This is a fantastic book which I thoroughly enjoyed. Waitress Cassie is in her mid thirties, has no confidence and absolutely no sex life. This all changes when a regular customer leaves her diary behind at the cafe. Cassie takes it home for 'safe-keeping' but can not resist the temptation to read it. What Cassie reads will change everything about her and for her. Can Cassie push past her issues and accept the Step?
The scenes in this book had ME begging for more!
This book will leave women feeling empowered and confident.
