Publisher's summary

Madeline and Daphne were once as close as sisters - until a secret tore them apart. Now it might take them to their graves.

They knew his name, the man who tried to brutally attack 12-year-old Madeline in her grandmother's hotel. They thought they knew his fate. He wouldn't be bothering them anymore...ever. Still, their lives would never be the same.

Madeline has returned to Washington after her grandmother's mysterious death. And at the old, abandoned hotel - a place she never wanted to see again - a dying man's last words convey a warning: The secrets she and Daphne believed buried forever have been discovered. Now, after almost two decades, Madeline and Daphne will be reunited in friendship and in fear. Unable to trust the local police, Madeline summons Jack Rayner, the hotel chain's new security expert. Despite the secrets and mysteries that surround him, Jack is the only one she trusts...and wants.

Jack is no good at relationships, but he does possess a specific skill set that includes a profoundly intimate understanding of warped and dangerous minds. With the assistance of Jack's brother, Abe, a high-tech magician, the four of them will form an uneasy alliance against a killer who will stop at nothing to hide the truth....

Not terrible

This book is a light romance disguised as a light mystery novel. The narrator was fine, the book was well written (meaning no grammar issues or poor word usage). It just wasn't my cup of tea. I finished it, not wanting to waste the credit. It was mildly interesting but it didn't have any depth. If you're looking for lightweight reading, this would fit the bill.

Great story. Terrible reader.

This reader uses the same voices for characters and will even change style mid-thought. For instance, she may start an exchange without an accent and then end with one. She also uses the wrong influxes often.

mystery and more

I liked that the main character took charge when she needed to do so. Others in this story helped and made it so much more. It has - murder, mystery, character growth, love, friendship and so much more.

Ehhh

Not one of my favorite of hers. It had mystery and all that but slow and predictable.

Sensational!!!

As always Ms. Krentz put out a fantastic book. It surpassed my expectations and then some. But what amazes me more is the telling of the story by Amanda Cobb. I could listen to her voice all day. Hell! I did listen to her all day and it was a pleasure. Ms. Cobb made you feel like you were there on the island.

Not a mystery….

The storyline was good, but not a mystery. Romantic Suspense would be a better tag. Loved the characters! Portrayed strong women, but with common sense. Often times an author will try to characterize strong women who never want to be told what to do resulting in stupid mistakes. Krentz has a good handle on better character traits.

Jayne has done it again for me! Loved it.

Are we listening to the same book, I loved it and thought it was great. It is a murder mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Jack Rayner was contracted to become the new security expert for a chain of hotels he didn’t think that his job would consist of doing background checks on the men that his boss Madeline was dating. Nor did he think that he would be thrown into an eighteen year old cover up involving a twelve year old Madeline, and her best friend Daphne.
Before opening up his own security firm with his brother Abe, Jack was a criminal profiler for the FBI. Now he has a new profile to figure out, but the stakes are much higher. This criminal is after his client Madeline. Although, Madeline drives him crazy an even tried to fire him after the death of her grandmother, he is drawn to her and vows to keep her safe. Madeline and Jack have and intense chemistry which is obvious to everyone around them even though each one of them states that they don't do relationships. Abe and Daphne seem to be doing ok together too.
This is a great and sometimes complex story that not only has your anxiety level rising, it also has a delicious sense of humor that will bring out a giggle in spite of the drama of the story. Just when you think you have it figured out it takes a different turn and keeps on going. Its fun getting to peel away the layers.

Good for a long road trip

It was a good story line for a road trip. My daughter got me started on her books as they are more than just a love story.

Revisiting an old favorite mystery- suspense

JAK is a favorite author under any of her various names. Her heroines are usually smart & capable. The heroes perhaps have a few rough edges but they are loyal, courageous, and guard their woman’s back even while she may stand by his side. Humor is present & the dialogue is generally witty. Secret Sisters had twists & turns til the end. My3rd time reading it - 1st time via audio which I thought was well done. Fast moving & fun. Well pleased 2 for 1 purchase.
