A Second Chance At Seduction

Secrets, Lies & Family Ties by Sylvia Hubbard spins the tell of a woman that gets a second chance to live the life she always wished could belong to her. Grae Reed is looked upon as a new person when she shows up at her high school reunion. A lot of this is due in part to a dramatic weight loss. Though her outer appearance has changed, she still remains a wallflower in her mind. But a fateful evening could change all of that when her high school crush wants to serve her up on a platter. Ezekiel Chambers was the man that Grae admired from afar but was too shy to approach during their high school years together. Grae feared that her overweight body and bad skin would be a turnoff to the popular, rich white boy. Now, years later, with her identity a secret, will Grae let her guard and her clothes down to experience what she has always fantasized about?

At first glance, this book may look to be just a tale of a mysterious woman who contemplates giving into temptation. This is so not true! Ms. Hubbard delivers enough twists, turns, mystery and intrigue that will leave the reader breathless and anticipating the next turn of the page. But the schemes will not be the only thing leaving the reader breathless. The erotic love scenes will feed the imagination of the reader as well and may cause their temperature to rise.

The other characters created by Ms. Hubbard in this novel only strengthen the storyline and add to the element of surprise and shock. The reader will be able to tell that Ms. Hubbard took great lengths to make sure each character was well-developed and would add to the plot in their own unique way. This tale could only be told by Ms Hubbard with such eloquence and style. This book is highly recommended to those readers that love the sensual with a touch of suspense.
