Sienna
I’m seeing a war unfold before my eyes. My past and future have now collided, and my heart is split in two.
As the battle rages on, secrets surface and truths circle the drain, threatening to suck me under.
Elio promised we had the rest of our lives together, but now he’s questioning my history and doubting my loyalty.
Elio
Love and family are all that matter, so I keep a careful eye on our new visitors who have awoken the hornets’ nest and revealed the snakes that have lain dormant for years.
As I try to protect Sienna from her own past, betrayals are surfacing, and my paranoia is intensifying.
One secret is discovered that will undoubtably change everything.
**May contain triggers, intended for a mature audience 18+. Does end on a cliffhanger-ish. Sneak peek of book 3, Quiet Power, at the end. I promise all will be okay.**

Oh I have been dying to get my hands on the next installment of this series and I was not disappointed. The title is aptly named because there are so many secrets that are swirling within these pages that you are left asking yourself did that really happen. Drake has a masterful way of weaving a tale that will keep you on your toes, constantly guessing what will happen and give us a stunning and unique storyline like I have never read. There is a lot that happens within Quiet Secrets as Sienna’s mother reappears in her life, lots of unanswered questions and Elio is not sure what to make of anything. But one thing is for certain, his feelings for Sienna. Regardless of how it is tested, these two have such a stunning connection.
There is a lot to unpack in this one and because it is book two of the trilogy, you know there will be a cliffy ending. It will leave you wanting more. It will leave you breathless and completely lost as to what to do next because you have been so wrapped up in this story. One thing that is brilliant is how Drake interconnects her prior series into this one. Let's just say, I was a very happy girl! Bring on book three!
EXCERPT
I felt rage burn through my veins at that. It was the first I’d heard of it.
“It was all supposed to happen, and then you came along. Little orphan girl, with the big blue eyes, and the big fake boobs.”
I licked the inside of my mouth, leaned over the island, grabbed her hand, and yanked her straight down onto the marble countertop. I moved my face inches from hers and smiled like the crazy person I was becoming.
“Elio wants a real woman, not some skinny drunk who can’t keep the bottle from her jacked-up lip job. Nor would he even want to entertain visiting your eight-men-a-day, stretched out, trailer trash vag.” She blinked at my crass words. “Come at me again, and I promise I will show you what I learned on the streets.”
I let go and leaned back, snatching the bottle from Mariano, who stared at me with a gaping mouth. “Oh, Anna, these are far from fake.” I took another shot, high-fived Donte behind the counter, and left.
