Loved the story of Angie and Sean. Great way to bring them back together
This is Angie’s story and man is that girl messed up! She returns to Seclusion after finding out her professor boyfriend is married and she’s hiding another secret. Sean is messed up too but not near as bad as Angie. These two just can’t leave each other alone. He has secretly been in love with her since he got her pregnant when he was 15. There is lots of drama, tears and more drama.
WOW!!
Some time has passed since the last book in this series and our characters are all grown up.
Angie Peters has returned home from school after another problem. She is seeking comfort but doesn’t know how too ask for it. She’s not a young teen anymore but a grown woman, and in walks Sean Langston the man she had a kid with and gave her daughter up for adoption. She can’t shake him and she doesn’t know why this time is so different but her secret could ruin everything.
Sean Langston can’t believe that it been so long since he last saw Angie. Especially in their home town since she avoids it like a plague. But he knows that she is there running from something and this time it isn’t him. But like a moth to a flame, he is drawn to her and this time around he doesn’t want to let her go without trying. Being with her is easy until secrets are revealed and there is no turning back.
This book was amazing. It was about growth and learning to finally move forward not backward. Life is never easy but it is worth it.
This is why I read. For the emotional depth that’s written on pages that pull you in to the story so deeply you feel every emotion straight through to your core. This author never fails to amaze me with her stories. I devour them and Angie Peters and Sean Langston’s heartbreaking story that spans over 10 years gripped me from the start of their story in Secrets to its conclusion in Seclusion.
There is just no way to accurately describe the emotions you feel when reading this book. For many chapters your on the verge of tears then next laughing out loud and then wanting to scream at the characters for the mistakes they are making yet knowing that they need to go through them all – to come full circle – to finally get their happy ever after.
These two were 15 and 16 when they bonded over being emotionally crippled due to their parents. They had such issues at a young age that made them unable to bond normally with others. They found tranquility with each other for a short time before a pregnancy changed their lives. Angie gave up that baby knowing at 16 and never having had a decent role model herself for a mother that she wanted a better life for her baby. With 15 year old Sean who was the product of rape not wanting to be a father either he also had no problem giving up the baby but one thing Angie didn’t know what that he loved her and that never changed even after she left Seaclusion 6 years ago.
Angie has to run back to Seaclusion, a place she vowed she never wanted to go back to, when she finds herself again in a situation. As her Uncle, who raised her, is married to Sean’s sister its not long before these two run into each other. Their reunion is volatile at first as its to painful for Angie to look at Sean and not think about the daughter she had to give up and Sean cant forget this is the one woman that broke his heart and he knows if given a chance she will break it again.
This author does not write traditional stories. There are still many more years that pass before things come back around to that circle. Hearts are broken many more times before issues can be laid to rest and healing done and move past the past to finally deal with the future.
This is a series that I feel should be read in order. The adoptive parents are the couple from the 2nd book. The uncle and sister are from the 3rd book where we first meet Angie and Sean when they are teenagers. You will not regret reading this beautifully written heartbreaking series.
