About this ebook

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author L.P. Dover brings you a sexy, contemporary romance mixed with laugh-out-loud comedy about two past lovers who want nothing more than to seek revenge on the other. However, they end up getting way more than they bargained for. 

Clara and Zac thought they were headed for their happily ever after, until a break-up slathered in betrayal left them both jaded and vindictive. 

Twelve years have passed since they left Wyoming, and during that time Clara found her calling at a prestigious PR firm in California while Zac moved to New Orleans to join his Broussard cousins at River Enterprises. They thought they could forget each other and move on... until a local charity auction in their hometown of Snowy Creek sets Zac up for the ultimate revenge. If he wins, Clara will be at his mercy, forced to work for him for one full week. Tantalized by the sweet taste of revenge, he eagerly ups the ante to claim his prize. 

But what starts out as a week of filthy manual labor and bitter rivalry leads to a shocking revelation. Someone has been plotting for over a decade to keep Clara and Zac apart. Can the pair band together to uncover who? Or will their rift from the past continue to ruin their chance at a blissful future?

4.5⭐ The Truth About Secrets is a fast-paced, funny and at times emotional story. That reunites childhood sweethearts Clara and Zac after 12 years and lots of heartache, due to miscommunication, childhood insecurities and a bit of meddling. But when Clara returns to her hometown and is faced with her one true love and the truth about what really happened when she was on holiday in France everything changes. And it was an enjoyable, sweet and chemistry filled romance. That was packed with likable and memorable characters. And I honestly couldn't put it down. Would happily recommend. **I was kindly provided with an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**

I don't know why I went into this book thinking there would be an element of suspense (could be because that's now what I associate LPD with) but I was surprised that there was none. What this is a once lovers turned enemies second chance that I thoroughly enjoyed. Parts were so angsty that I was shedding tears and the banter between Zac and Clara was hilarious. I finished this book thinking Clara and Zac are much much better people than me since I wouldn't forgive and forget nearly as easily as they did. I loved this small town and wouldn't mind another visit.

The Truth About Secrets by L.P. Dover took me through every kind of feels. Sometimes it was heartbreak. Sometimes it was witty and fierce. Sometimes it was swoony. It has some adorable and lovely characters who has a beautiful love story to share. The story line was interesting. From the very beginning, I felt something is not right in the way Clara and Zac's separation occurs. And I was right! Secrets, lies and manipulation tore them apart. But now they are both back in town and they hate each other. Clara is a celebrity publicist and Zac is a successful architect now. Clara's family was rich and well known but Zach can hold is own now. Clara is very vocal, confident and sassy. And Zac can be hot alpha or sweet lover depending on the mood. And I loved their banter and how they tried to out prank each other. The tension and chemistry was reignited as soon as their paths crossed. But they had to work through the mountain of misunderstanding and heartache. ( reviewed early copy )
