5 STARS!
A heartfelt book that touches on so many lessons in life. There’s not a huge amount of romance in it, but there’s a growing love and affection that stems from two families torn apart by heartache, that find their ways to happiness again … together!
A reality TV cooking show competition is the setting for this new series, Family Secrets, by Tara Taylor Quinn. In this story, Janie Young is a single mother to a special needs child and needs all the help she can get to give him all of the little extras he needs to enjoy a full life. She really needs that prize money and exposure to future success!
Burke Carter is a successful orthopedic surgeon with a teenage daughter who needs him to win this competition in order for her to be able to put a better spin on things that have happened in the past.
Both parents adore their child and only want to have them be okay … and they both like each other and can’t help themselves from becoming closer during this competition. When a winner is crowned, how will it effect their budding relationship?

She can’t afford to lose this…or him
There’s no way that struggling single mom Janie Young is going to lose Family Secrets. Not even to Dr. Burke Carter. The prize money and media exposure from the cooking-competition show will secure the future for her and her son, who has special needs. Sure, Burke is a talented chef with his own reasons to win, but he already has so much: wealth, a beautiful daughter, great looks…and definitely her attention. As their families become closer, Janie is beginning to care too much about him. But she can’t afford to get involved. Not when everything is riding on beating him.
