"Iam really enjoying this book just as much as the first in this series, SECRETS. I particularly loved the way she gently adds The Word into her novels: like we need to add it into our world. It was not overdone, but beautifully sifted and salted throughout the very engaging story."
— Marcie (5 out of 5 stars)
" The first half of the book was extremely slow, and it took me time to get through it.....I thought that the main character Lance seemed a little surreal at points in taking on everyone's problems personally. "
— Katee, 2/20/2014" Lance and Rese go to New York to continue searching for answers to what happened in Nonna Antonia's younger years "
— Debbie, 2/18/2014" The sequel to Secrets. I did not predict the turns the book would take. I really liked it until I got to the ending. Seriously...couldn't you write any better than that? "
— Christine, 2/11/2014" same as #1 great book. "
— Dee, 2/6/2014" Book 1 in a four book series. Book 4 is coming out in a few months and I can't wait to see what happens with the characters. "
— Michelle, 2/4/2014" very good 2nd book in a series "
— Janet, 1/17/2014" The sequel to "Secrets" was even better than "Secrets." "
— Kayla, 1/11/2014" Not sure yet about this one. I'm reading the 3rd and last book now. I'll update my review when I finish it (hoping it will give me some clarity on this book). "
— Jessica, 12/25/2013" I liked this book but i hated the ending. im glad there was a 3rd book. "
— Annie, 12/24/2013" loved this but it made me wish I was Italian and had an Italians Nonna that cooked that good ;) made me hungry!!! "
— Heidi, 12/7/2013" Since I had read the first one, I read this sequel. It started out consistent but sort of fell out of whack and continued to an end with a screeching halt and no real pay off for the reader! I wouldn't recommend it. "
— Cary, 11/27/2013" I enjoyed this sequel but liked the first book in the series, Secrets, better. This one lagged in a few areas and didn't have much additional character development. "
— Catherine, 11/21/2013" I like Lance and Rese and was happy to read the second installment in their story. Very enjoyable. "
— Heather, 11/16/2013" I can't seem to put this book down! "
— Kathi, 11/8/2013" This I didnt find to be as good as the last, Secrets. But I enjoyed it enough that I still plan on reading the 3rd one in this series. She really is a great author, and I so far have not found one tbook from her that I have not liked. "
— Lyndi, 10/26/2013" Mystery, romance... What's not to love? "
— Katy, 4/25/2013" I enjoyed this sequel, especially the revelation of Antonia's story and the continuation of Lance and Rese's romance. Also loved the Italian family in their apartment house in the Bronx. "
— Jill, 2/10/2013" Audiobook--book 2. "
— Pat, 1/22/2013" Not good for me. I found I was skimming a lot. Took forever to get to anything interesting. Hate that Rese and Lance are always on the verge of breaking up and Lance has to continually grovel. I liked him better when he wasn't so wimpy. I probably won't continute the series. "
— Connie, 10/22/2012" Not as enthralling as the first one this is a solid sequel. It happens shortly after the last one ended which gives it validity. I did not see the end coming and though it seemed foreign it made sense and I appreciated it. "
— Kristin, 5/14/2012" eaudio 15.5 hours "
— Anita, 4/2/2012" Quite the read. I liked it a lot, though perhaps not as much as the first. Maybe just in a different way. "
— Heather, 3/17/2012" Hmmm - Not my absolute favorite of hers, but still kept me turning pages. It gets a little out there for me during the last quarter of the book; however, I still enjoyed the story and the characters for the most part. "
— Christina, 2/2/2012" Really enjoy this series and the characters. I thought it was great getting to see Lance on his home territory and meet his family. "
— Sue, 12/30/2011" This was an amazing finish to the book Secrets. The characters were real with real problems that were difficult to solve. This was a great book. "
— Trisan, 10/15/2011" This was so much better than the first book. Loved the cute love story and Lance's family. "
— Amy, 9/3/2011" I didn't like this one as well as the first one. I will read the third, though. "
— Katherine, 4/23/2011" This was an excellant book didn't want to put it down. "
— Jannette, 1/23/2011" Couldn't put this down! Loved it so much, I was inspired to visit LIttle Italy while in NYC. And I even tried learning Italian ; ) "
— April, 12/21/2010" The story was good, but moved too slowly. The book could have been a hundred pages less. "
— Tammy, 10/8/2010" Enjoyed the continuation of <Secrets>, however I felt that this one dragged a bit through the middle, and seemed to take too long to get moving. But I was happily surprised by the end. "
— Lauren, 9/21/2010" I didn't like this one as well as the first one. I will read the third, though. "
— Katherine, 7/24/2010" The sequel to Secrets. I did not predict the turns the book would take. I really liked it until I got to the ending. Seriously...couldn't you write any better than that? "
— Christine, 6/8/2010" The sequel to "Secrets" was even better than "Secrets." "

— Cindy, 4/6/2010" Not good for me. I found I was skimming a lot. Took forever to get to anything interesting. Hate that Rese and Lance are always on the verge of breaking up and Lance has to continually grovel. I liked him better when he wasn't so wimpy. I probably won't continute the series. "
— Connie, 1/18/2010" not as good as the first but still good. "
— Aubrey, 8/24/2009" Since I had read the first one, I read this sequel. It started out consistent but sort of fell out of whack and continued to an end with a screeching halt and no real pay off for the reader! I wouldn't recommend it. "
— Cary, 7/18/2009" I enjoyed this book, the second in its series. But I did enjoy Secrets (the first book) better. I still plan to read Echos, the third book. "
— Kelley, 6/15/2009" This was an excellant book didn't want to put it down. "
— Jannette, 6/9/2009" This I didnt find to be as good as the last, Secrets. But I enjoyed it enough that I still plan on reading the 3rd one in this series. She really is a great author, and I so far have not found one tbook from her that I have not liked. "
— Lyndi, 5/20/2009" My sister says it's the sign of a good writer that can take an amazingly unbelievable story and make you believe it. It felt realistic while I was reading it. Quite long. "
— Jenifer, 4/16/2009" I can't seem to put this book down! "
