Jillian Morella was always a loud to tag along with her older brother A.J. and his friend Jameson Tate when they will little kids. Jamison disappears mysteriously when he and A.J. were in high school. Jameson hadn’t been seen since but suddenly shows-up out of the blue several years later at what used to be A.J.’s and Jillian’s dad’s automatic shop which after his death, is now run by his son and daughter. Until she was introduced, Jillian didn’t remember this hunk-of-man hotness standing before her. Jameson is also amazed by the beautiful woman Jillian has transformed into. Jameson offered to help A.J. out by working at the shop since A.J. has been working his tail off. Jameson and Jillian find themselves drawn to each other but A.J. has warned Jameson off. Will Jameson and Jillan be able to keep away from each other and heed A.J.’s warning? You will have to read Secrets and Promises to find out?
I thought Secrets and Promises started a little slow but eventually the story picked-up and I found myself sucked in to see what if Jameson was able to fight the pull between him and Jillian or if A.J.’s wishes would be followed. Secrets and Promises especially became exciting when Jillian and Jameson began sneaking around and seeing each other. I don’t know how many times they were almost caught by A.J. You never really can guess what the “big secret” Jameson has been keeping that A.J. knows about. When it is finally revealed; it is a big “Wow!: moment in the book. I found myself sucked into Jameson’s and Jillian’s story and enjoyed reading it.
