This is perfect for fans of second chance romance book. It follows Kirsten who moves to a small town for her dream job but like any well laid out plan the town is home to Brady the father of her sons. Well written and the characters were likeable and the plot heartwarming. I loved it.

Kirsten is a nurse practitioner back in town with her two boys. While there she also got the break the news to Deputy Brady that he has a pair of twin boys. His family has a genetic disorder that he refuses to pass on and refuses to find out whether or not he has the gene. He's currently running for office and not only does he have to learn to be a father but also has to find out his diagnosis for the sake of the boys.

This was a pretty good book I really enjoyed it. Brady washed his mother fade away from a genetic disorder that he could possibly have. Instead of trying to make every moment count and living life too the fullest like his mother he's ignoring what could possibly be his future. Now Kirsten has two twin boys who might get impacted by this disorder but she's unaware and he has to face the music and try to get tested and it was interesting seeing how everything played out and how this disorder weighed heavily on this family. There was also a second chance at becoming happy and having a little family and it was a heartwarming seeing that bit of them with their little family moments. Then there's the whole stress of him running for office there is so much going on in this book which made this a pretty good read since there was plenty going on to see.

Hidden Secrets Between Them is a second-chance love story. Watching the two fall in love all over again was sweet. There was a little intrigue, by wondering how a few scenarios were going to turn out, but it was so enjoyable. I only wish I had read the previous stories as well!

i received a complimentary copy from the publisher. i was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions i have expressed are my own.


considerations:
—language: none
—spice: kisses only, no physical details of past relationship
—faith: strong themes with mentions of God, church, and prayer
—content: loss of family member, mentions of cancer and military death, huntington's disease, children born out of wedlock

A heartwarming second chance romance, filled with faith, forgiveness, and family.

An engaging read, with likable characters, adorable children, and strong themes of trusting God with the future. Kirsten is an amazing mother, and she handles the whole situation very thoughtfully. I liked how she was up front with Brad, and tried her best to make it work out for her boys. Brady is a hardworking man, and very involved in Hope's Crossing. I loved how he takes time to get to know the boys, showing them his life, and trying to make up for lost time.

I liked how both Kirsten and Brady are strong Christians, but still learn to trust God as they are confronted with their past. A well-balanced read, full of faith, humor, cuteness, emotional depth, and growth. A highly enjoyable read, with great characters, that I didn't want to put down!

A beautiful and inspiring, sweet second chance romance. This is such a good and uplifting read. I loved all the characters, flawed but real. They pull you into the story right away and I just had to keep turning pages to see what would happen. It's a heartwarming story but not without depth and a beautiful faith element. I enjoyed the twists and turns the characters faced to find their happy ever after. An entertaining read with a terrific ending.

Hidden Secrets Between Them is a well written inspirational romance. I throughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my advance ebook. This is my unbiased review.

This is a Second Chance Romance, and this is the 5th book in the Hope Crossing series. I have not read the other books in this series. I was pulled into the beginning of this book, and I was loving it. Then, the pacing slowed down, and I just got bored. The ending was ok. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

Kirsten and Brady, once in love, separated when Brady revealed he didn't want kids. Unbeknownst to Brady, Kirsten was pregnant with twins. Years later, they reunite in Hope Springs, each harboring secrets. Brady's reluctance stemmed from a fear of passing on a medical condition, while Kirsten kept her pregnancy hidden. As they navigate their rekindled relationship, they must overcome past fears, trust in each other, and embrace their faith for a second chance at love and family. The story beautifully explores themes of forgiveness, redemption, and faith.

Assumptions

Five years ago, Kirsten Reynolds assumed she knew what Brady James wanted. That caused her to make a decision about what she believed was best for herself. At the same time, Brady assumed he knew what was best for Kirsten. Sadly, both were wrong.

However, the tables are turned when Kirsten returns to Hope Crossing and throws Brady a huge curve ball. The new revelation greatly changes things. This results in a lovely story of forgiveness, hope, and second chances at love. Add to that some adorable but precocious little boys, and you have a winner of a story.

I received a complimentary advanced copy from NetGalley. All opinions and comments are voluntary and completely my own.

Nurse practitioner Kirsten Reynolds arrives in Hope Crossing, Texas, for work and discovers that her neighbor, Deputy Brady James, is the father of her twin sons, a fact he is unaware of. She realizes the necessity of revealing the truth to him, given their striking resemblance. As Brady grapples with the revelation of his sons and adjusts to fatherhood, they both also learn to adapt to each other's presence. Meanwhile, Brady, who has been harboring secrets, finds himself compelled to confide in Kirsten about his troubles.

This was a clean Christian romance about two individuals that by keeping secrets between them, broke up five years ago and went their separate ways.
When Kristen Reynolds, a nurse practitioner, gets the opportunity to open a clinic in Hope Crossing, she’s excited but also hesitant. The father of her twin boys’ lives there and is unaware of the boys existence.
Brady James is a deputy in town and the one that left Kristen many years ago. Not because he didn’t love her, but because he feared he carried the same gene that ended his mother’s life.
Imagine his shock when he opens his door to Kristen, and finding out that she kept the boys from him.
As they navigate a fragile relationship, and the boys and Kristen feel like a true family, Brady has to decide what he wants to do with his future.
Will he take a chance realizing that it’s worth the risk to live and love, or will the fear keep him away?
This is a story about faith in God and oneself. It’s also a story about forgiveness and family.
I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley and Harlequin. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

This is a second chance story about a couple who were in love but broke up because Hero did not want kids – at least that is what he tells heroine but in reality he is just afraid of passing on a medical condition so when heroine learns she is pregnant with twins, she doesn’t tell him.

Five years later, heroine returns home and has to tell him he is a Father because the kids look like him and he needed to hear it from her first. Hero is all in and their reunion and becoming a family was sweet.

What I didn’t like is that as with many 2nd chance tropes, years go by with no contact for separations. At least it’s 5 and not 10 or more, but still….
