The Secret Kept from the Greek by Susan Stephens
3.0
Lizzie met Damon the night before her father's trial. She was hurting and in need of an escape. They spent one hot night together. The next day she see's him in court at the trial. He was there as a witness for the prosecution and helped put her father in jail. Eleven years later, Damon walks into the restaurant that she works at and sends her life into a tailspin.
This book started out very disjointed and awkward. The story was choppy and didn't flow. As the story continued, it smoothed out and the characters filled out some.
Damon was a bit of an ass. He attempted to be the supportive aplha, but failed in so many ways. He wanted Lizzie as a fling once again. Wanted to she her happy until he learned about their daughter, Thea. Then he became all overbearing and idiotic. It took him a while before he realized that he had to accept some of the blame that he laid on Lizzie's shoulder.
I really liked Lizzie. She is strong, honest, self sufficent, and even though she has been through hell, she made it through on her own. She put her bitterness aside and raised a wonderful daughter. She also tried to be fair to Damon, but when her threatened her baby, her momma bear claws came out! :)
Lizzie's daughter, Thea, is an amazing character. She deserves to grow up and get a HP all of her own. Loved her sass and scrappiness. She may have been 10 years old, but she was ready to stand up for her mom because she knew and appreciated how hard her mom worked to provide her with everything she had.
I enjoyed the book as it progressed. I almost put it down because of the choppy forst few chapters. Glad i did finish it. It wasn't fabulous, but it was a good book.
