The first CD was slow going. I thought if it didn't get any better on the 2nd CD, I wouldn't continue. WELL! Was I glad I held out. Once you got to the 2nd CD, the story picked right up to Ms Deveraux's usual wonderful writing.
A 12 year old girl has a crush on an older man. Cassie never loses her feelings even though Jeff married and had a little girl. After college, Cassie becomes a nanny to Jeff's little girl as Jeff has been widowed.
Jeff, his father, Tom, Jeff's daughter and Cassie all live quietly until one day, Cassie meets the neighbor, Althea Fairmont. Althea is a famous actress who has a gardener who looks like anything but a gardener. Once Althea connives to meet Cassie, everything changes. Cassie begins to discover that everyone is not who they claim to be.
Cassie only wanted Jeff to notice her and is still in love with him. Jeff steadfastly keeps his distance. After a year of trying to get Jeff's attention, Cassie leaves his house, with Althea's help and starts to live her own life.
Jeff now finds he is miserable but is afraid of putting Cassie in danger. Between Althea wishes and Cassie's desires, Jeff and Cassie meet again at a murder mystery weekend. Instead of a recreation of a past murder, a real one occurs and Jeff and Cassie work together to solve it.
Natalie Moore reads the story with passion and voice inflections to help the listener understand who is speaking. She is easy to listen to and understand.
This is another great romance story from Jude Deveraux.

I got this as an audiobook - it was free with tokens from Andrex toilet rolls, which is rather fitting because it was cr*p!
It was badly written, the dialogue was ridiculous, the characters are one dimensional, irritating and incredibly gender stereotyped - the main female character excels at baking cookies and looking after children and only gets her man by spending six months at a gym, losing wight. Meanwhile most of the male characters are macho CIA agents, with 'firm, sculpted' chests. The storyline was dull, contrived and in places just downright weird (the main female character persuing her teenage crush across the years and him 'keeping an eye on her' while she grew up - all despite only having met once, when she tried to drown herself to get his attention. Oh, if only she'd succeeded).
My main complaint, though, is that I might now be regarded as something of a local nutter. I listened to this in the car on my way home from work each day and found that shouting obscenities at your CD player tends to be regarded as abnormal behaviour by fellow commuters.

This is my first read by this author.
I found the first couple of chapters a little difficult but after that I was intrigued by all the "secrets" and definitely found it hard to put down.
I loved the character of Cassie and the move from her being the chaser to being chased.
One thing I found was that the print was smaller than normal and this added to my initial difficulty in getting in to the book. Maybe I just need stronger glasses!

Fairly average
I became a fan of Jude Deveraux in the 1980's and love her books from that time. However I found Secrets rather dull and the characters one dimensional.
