4 out of 5 stars
SADIE’S SECRET by Kathleen Y’Barbo is a delightful mix of
suspense and romance.
Sarah ”Sadie” Callum is kept on her toes at all times. When she’s not vetting out criminals as a
talented Pinkerton agent, she is busy staying one step ahead of her five
overprotective brothers. Though her
family thinks she in only a secretary, her mother is more and more aggravated
by her constant traveling, and begins to wonder what it is her daughter really
does that requires so much roaming.
After Sadie sees to Jefferson Tucker’s release from prison -
a position he found himself in when mistakenly taken for his twin brother – she
assumes they both will go their separate ways.
But much to her dismay, the handsome and disarming Jefferson Tucker has
a case of his own to solve and knows that he needs Sadie’s assistance to solve
it.
British detective Jefferson Tucker is determined to find his
elusive brother and make him pay for the year Jefferson lost in prison while
mistaken for his brother. And though he
planned on doing this on his own, he realizes the beautiful Pinkerton agent
that saw to his release is just the person he needs to help clear his name and
get his life back.
Both Sarah and Jefferson are taken with each other, but for
professional reasons they insist nothing personal can happen between them. But the more time they spend together as their
cases intersect, they more their attraction for each other builds.
I really enjoyed SADIE’S SECRET. Sadie was a strong character while Jefferson
was quite debonair. The twist and turns
in the book are not difficult to figure out, but that does not diminish the
journey. I loved both Sadie’s and
Jefferson’s family members. They really
added depth and appeal to the story. This
is the third book in The Secret Lives of
Will Tucker series. I didn’t read
the first two books, but I didn’t feel lost or confused either. An all-around entertaining adventure.
