Since [a:Lilian Harris|19163712|Lilian Harris|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1648227565p2/19163712.jpg] announced this new project, I knew that Hudson & Hadleigh's story was going to make me suffer, and although it was for different reasons, I really liked the direction that the author gave to the love story of these characters! Also, I loved reading Iseult & Gio again, learning about the very important connection that Hudson has with the Quinns and all the twists that Lilian prepared for her readers in this book.

Hadleigh is a woman who lived a complicated life and managed to find her true love when she met Hudson, her husband and the great love of her life, with whom lives a happy marriage, and full of love, however, Hadleigh has not been able to fulfill her dream of being a mother and it broke my heart to read her suffering for it, but always having the support of Hudson and her friends when things they are not going well, BUT without a doubt, the saddest part of her plot can be seen when Hudson disappears and our heroine's world collapses overnight in more than one way.

Hudson is the sweetest, most tender, loving and hottest husband I ever read, but he is also one who keeps many secrets for fear of losing the great love of his life. He has a personal story as interesting and surprising as Hadleigh's and it was one of the things I liked the most about this book, especially when he disappears and all that truth that broke my heart is discovered and that I can't explain much, because spoiler. What I can say is how much I liked the way in which Lilian developed the story between Hudson & Hadleigh since the reunion between them, even though he doesn't remember her.

And I think that's one of the things that scared me the most about Shattered Secrets: the whole amnesia thing, because I have to say, I hate that kind of plot! BUT I gave it a chance because Lilian Harris is one of my favorite authors and I think she told this story perfectly, with the best plot twists and a love story that healed my heart after reading the pain of these characters.
