He never meant to be a father.

But it could be the life he’s always wanted.

In Hope Crossing, Texas, nurse practitioner Kirsten Reynolds has found her dream job. The only problem is that the tiny town also has Deputy Brady James…the father of her four-year-old sons. And he doesn’t know the boys are his. But as he steps into this new role he never planned for, Brady gets a hopeful glimpse into a life with children. Will he let the fear of the unknown keep him from a future he never imagined…or will an adorable pair of twins—and their mother—change his mind?

My Review

Hidden Secrets Between Them is a Love Inspire novel that is so sweet, full of hope and second chances. I read this in one sitting and loved every moment. The novel I had read before this one was very emotionally heavy and I was needed something lighter. This hit all the notes I was craving perfectly. There are still situations that occur, but it’s got a much lighter feel, with the whisper of hope wafting throughout.

Though this premise is nothing new there is still a freshness and sweetness told through the imagination of Mindy Obenhaus. She has such an incredible talent for bringing out something special in the simple, with her characters well-developed, and the storyline gently flowing across the rolling Texas prairie.

The twins reminded me of my own boys at that age, which are memories I am happy to return to, and Kirsten possess a strength that is admirable as well. Brody is a wonderful man who clearly wants to do right by others, which is a wonderful trait to see, and seeing them all together, especially at one of the big town events, was so great to read and gave me a cute idea for my next party!

Letting fear direct your actions and decisions is a theme throughout this novel, which had me also pondering how I have let fear dictate in my own life. Gotta love when a light read still has you self-reflecting. I truly fell in love with these characters and this world, and I can’t believe there’s only one more novel in this series!
