    A love story involving choices, self-worth, and reconciliation. A well written and complex plot with interesting characters that will keep you totally immersed. I just discovered this author and love how she weaves a story and sucks you in so you are living the story yourself.

    Cam didn't like Scarlet or her sisters in the beginning. When he got to know Scarlet and her sisters he realized they weren't after his brother's money. Cam felt drawn to Scarlet, but he couldn't get close cause he didn't want to be like his father. Scarlet is afraid of commitment after seeing her parents argue. When both of their secrets come out they learn that some things of their past weren't what they seemed.

    A lovely romance with a strong message.
    Self acceptance and reconciliation with the past can allow the seeds of love to grow.
    Without it we are forever caught in a web of our own choice
    Join Cam and Scarlet on their journey!

    About the Book: Scarlet Lindquist has agreed to help her sisters rebuild the dilapidated fishing lodge in Minnesota they inherited from their grandparents. While the lengthy restoration brings the three women closer, Scarlet’s support is only temporary. Her leave of absence from her job in Chicago is time limited and she has no intention of staying at Solace Lake Lodge. Frightening childhood memories are tempered by her fascination with the irritating construction contractor and his delightful daughter. If only she could trust her feelings for Cam. If only he would trust her.
    The attraction Cameron Hainstock feels for Scarlet Linquist is , instantaneous. But he must avoid the beautiful marketing executive in order to focus his efforts on battling for custody of his only child. When the unimaginable happens, Cam faces the biggest challenge of his life and is reluctant to accept help.
    If Cam and Scarlet don’t learn to trust, themselves and each other, they will end up going their separate ways.
    Our Review: following the launch story in the Love at Solace Lake series, a construction manager and marketing genius build on the mysteries created by their pasts. Author Richards shows her gift for building suspense, based on the past and what waits around the corner. The characters are colorful and well-drawn in a logical and realistic manner. Above all, the lifelong effects of alcoholism and domestic violence—with a touch of possible infidelity—keep the pages turning. This is one honey of a story and sets a firm stage for more to come. Stay tuned!
    Based on a scale of 1-5, Secrets and Solace merits a 7.

    Harper Lindquist is about to marry Ethan Hainstock and if you read book one you know all about everything they went through to get to this point. The renovations for the new lodge are well under way and Harper’s sisters Maggie and Scarlet have agreed to spend a few months at the lodge to help out.

    This is Scarlet and Cameron’s story. Cameron is Ethan’s brother and an alcoholic that has been sober for three years thanks to his love for his five year old daughter Tessa. His meeting with Scarlet did not go well since he has very strong feelings about his brother’s marriage to Scarlet’s sister. His brother was once before used and hurt by a woman after his money and now he is about to marry a woman he has only known for a short time. When he voices his opinions to Scarlet she is less than pleased.

    Scarlet has taken a leave of absence from his job in Chicago to help get word of the new lodge out to the public but she has a secret that she has been living with since she was eight years old, a secret that she never shared with her sisters or anyone else. The day her parents drowned she snuck up to where they were talking and overheard her mother announce that she was in love with another man and no matter how much Scarlet’s father begged she would not give in. Her father stated that he would rather die than live without his wife and when they discovered her listening they sent her on her way telling her they loved her. Her parents went into the canoe out on the lake for privacy and Scarlet has never stopped blaming herself for that since it was because of her eavesdropping that led them to go in the boat.

    She has had two broken engagements and is convinced that being in a relationship and finding love is not in the cards for her a feeling that Cameron also lives with. He knows he is a drunk and knows that he could slip at any time. He also was hurt by Tessa’s mom who he believed loved him but who took off with his daughter leaving him behind. It was that reason that he relocated to be near Tessa but always lives with the fear of what Laura his ex might do again.

    In time both Cameron and Scarlet begin to have feelings for each other but their pasts hold them back from fully commiting. The walls they have built around themselves seem impossible to knock down. Scarlet loves Tessa like her own and she risks losing both a chance at being with Cameron but also a chance at being with Tessa.

    Like book one this is a beautiful story of two people who have pasts that seem to stand in the way of a future. A story of secrets that threaten the future. This is a series about three sisters and I can’t wait for the last story in the series. Although the books can be read alone you would be missing out on a beautiful love story.

    The book is a good small town romance read. The story has a good story line. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry.

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    The writing draws you in and keeps you involved throughout the whole story, I found myself in love with not only the characters but also the world that was created.

    The descriptions of the characters and their feelings are so involved, you can truly picture it in your mind. Their attitudes toward the events that are happening makes the story even richer.

    Great second book in this series. They are sisters working toward the same goal but each love story is unique and very good. There are common themes and mystery but each has its own HEA.
