Best-Kept Secrets is another fun tale from Sarah M. Eden. In spite of her family’s potential loses to their financial standing, Eve O’Doyle and her sister Nia plan to attend a Christmastime house party. Hopefully, this will be a fun time with their friends in The Huntresses group. Duke Seymour is called upon to escort the O’Doyle sisters to the party. All are surprised to find the Duke’s grandmother along for the ride!
When this group gets held up in an abandoned inn during a rainstorm, it is interesting to see how everyone pitches in to provide what is needed. Eva does the cooking, Nia makes sure the bedchambers are presentable and Duke runs cover to keep his grandmother in the dark. Because if the Grand Dame knew what was going on, she would definitely not be pleased. After a rather miserable journey, no one is available to pick up his grandmother, so he must continue on with the group to the holiday party!
You will not believe the anger and fighting that the Seymour family brings to this lighthearted gathering of young people. You also wonder if the warmth you see growing between Eve and Duke will become something long-lasting!
It is interesting to see where each character ends up by the final page of this tale!
