My Review
'THE SECRETS WE HELD'
is the first full length new adult| romance book in E.K. Blair's 'Secrets and Truths' duet. 'Spoken in Dual Perspectives.' May cause triggers for some.
When I found out that E.K. Blair was bringing us a binge worthy duet my anticipation levels skyrocketed out of the roof! The beginning was a wee bit shaky, then around the middle mark I was hooked, I saw then where the author was leading me and from that point onwards I enjoyed the ride she took me on. An emotional rollercoaster that had me cursing our heroine.
The story kicks starts off with a group of college student surfers, surfing the wave and living life to the fullest riding that adrenaline high of freedom out on the waves that college life doesn't really afford them.
Kate is a competitive surfer, being raised on the water and taught to surf by her father it just comes naturally to her, like walking on air. Add in her group of friends and she couldn't be happier. Especially as one new comer Trent is accepted in the fold has caught her eye. But she doesn't want what he has to offer. She's a commitment kind of gal. When she loves she gives her all.

Especially as one new comer Trent is accepted in the fold has caught her eye. But she doesn't want what he has to offer. She's a commitment kind of gal. When she loves she gives her all.
Trent is a happy go lucky kind of guy, he doesn't want to be tied down, he's happy to just have his fun with girls without attachment. He's also going through a few things concerning his mother so because of that on going drama going on in the background he keeps people at a distance. He doesn't allow many in.
But add into the mix Caleb the hot new learner surfer, he's smooth, comes from an affluent family and knows how to treat a woman. And as they spend more time together they easily slide into a relationship.
As their relationship starts taking off he takes Kate home to meet his parents. And boy what an eye opener that was. One minute you feel sorry for Caleb the next you think what is this author doing to me!! Because that point onwards was a whole game changer. Things weren't so black and white. Sh#t was about to get real.
