Summary
It Started with a Secret: the scorching new novel of this summer, from the Sunday Times best-selling author.
The trouble with secrets is that you can't guess what the consequences will be....
Lainey has lost everything. Luckily one little fib (OK, quite a big fib) helps nail her dream job. Soon she's living in a stunning house by the sea, fending off obsessed fans for a retired - if far-from-retiring - actor and organising his charming but chaotic family. It's definitely worth the challenge of keeping her secret.
At least Lainey isn't looking for love. It's time for a break from all that. And yet...Seth, the actor's grandson, really is rather attractive. There's growing chemistry and a definite connection between them. But how would he react if he knew she hadn't been honest with him?
Lainey's not the only one with a secret, though. Seth has one of his own. And everything's about to start unravelling....
A beautiful Cornish setting, one chaotic family and a woman who's had enough of love. Or has she?

It started with a secret
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Good plots running side by side. The narrator had a lovely voice - a pleasure to listen to. Jill Mansell is one of my favourite authors.

Narration was pretty bad
The narrator at parts sounded like she was trying to win a time trial! Some parts better than others but took away from the enjoyment

Pleasantly lightweight and predictable
Easy read, nice generic characters, well read. Won’t set the world on fire but a solid ‘holiday’ romance.
