No More Secrets by Kerry Lonsdale
Women's Psychological Fiction, 287 pages
Published March 14, 2023 by Lake Union Publishing
A young man seeks redemption from his past in the third novel from the No More trilogy by Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kerry Lonsdale.
After serving six months in a juvenile detention center, Lucas Carson returns home irrevocably changed by what happened there. Traumatized, Lucas shuts himself out from everyone he loves, even his younger sister, Lily, who ran away from home when she was pregnant at sixteen. When Lily resurfaces years later, Lucas can’t cope with his guilt about not being there for her. He takes off, only to cross paths with Shiloh Bloom—fifteen, homeless, and, like Lucas, escaping the past.
All Lucas sees in her is the little sister he neglected. Believing this is his chance to absolve past mistakes, he takes Shiloh in. He gives her food and shelter. She gives him a purpose. Together they invent a background for her and form a bond. But the risk of discovery grows. Lucas’s sisters aren’t the only ones looking for him. So are Shiloh’s mother and the police. If Lucas wants to heal and have a future, he must stop running and face everything he’s left behind.
My thoughts about No More Secrets ~~
(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)
First line—"Lucas Carson rolls onto his back and stares at the ceiling fan rotating on low, blades spinning faster than a clock's second hand melting his waste of a life. As if the Mojave Desert hasn't already done so."
OMG! This was the perfect ending to what is an exciting, remarkable series! I love everything about this series and totally devoured books one and two. I waited on pins and needles for book three and was excited to discover how the Carson family saga would come to a conclusion. I was not disappointed. And honestly, I think I fell in love with Lucas just a little bit.
Lucas is a lost soul, thinking he had let everyone in his family down. He still feels guilty for abandoning his little sister when she needed him the most. When Shiloh enters his world, he sees a chance to redeem himself, maybe just a little bit. And then the excitement, and the drama, begins.
No More Secrets is the perfect ending to this amazing trilogy and I can't wait to go back and enjoy them all again. I'm not usually a re-reader of books but this series needs to experienced more than once. I cannot recommend No More Secrets and the whole No More Series enough. These stories are extraordinary and unforgettable.
I received a copy of No More Secrets from the author and this is my honest opinion.
