Small Town, Big Secrets by Elsie Davis
5.0
Small Town, Big Secrets is the second book in the Trinity River series, but it was perfectly fine as a stand-alone. I’ve never read any books by this author, but I fell in love with the small town of Trinity Rivers. If you enjoy reading series of small towns this is a must-read series. I loved the characters and the heartwarming feel of the town.
Becky McAllister had given up her dreams when she discovered she was pregnant. Her son, Byron became her world and when he needed an operation, she is willing to do anything to get it done. Even contacting Jack Parker, Byron’s dad for the money for the operation. Jack had blackmailed her into not telling anyone he was Bryon’s dad and she had kept that promise but she needed help. When Steve offers her a deal that will pay for his surgery, she thought her heart was safe and they could make a short marriage work.
Steve Parker was hoping to win the election for the local DA position. He dreamed of becoming an advocate for those in need. To win the election he needs a wife to help raise his poll ratings. He returns to his hometown of Trinity River to investigate some of his father, Judge Parker dealings. Meeting Becky and learning she is trying to contact his brother intrigues Steve. He offers her a deal when he hears she needs money for her son’s operation. He needs a wife and she needs better insurance so them getting married seemed like a good decision. He never planned on developing feelings for Becky and Byron or wanting to be part of their lives.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
