FTC: I received a free copy of this book from iRead Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.
Legacy of Secrets by Helen Starbuck wasn’t my favorite book. I found that I had a tough time getting interested in this story. On the outside, I had everything that I usually love about books, but I just wasn’t the biggest fan of the book for one reason or another. The fact that this story has an “R” rating didn’t bother me at all. But I am sure that would bother some people. I didn’t feel like I could connect with any of the characters in this story. I also felt that certain parts of the book seemed rushed and didn’t make a lot of sense. I found that I had a hard time following what was going on and because I didn’t connect with the characters, I just got bored. This is the first book I have read by this author, and I don’t think I would pick up any book by her in the future. Just because I didn’t enjoy this book doesn’t mean that you or others won’t love it. That is why I love reviewing and reading other reviews because not every author is for everyone, which wasn’t a good fit for me.

Other families pass down their stories, Kate Earnshaw’s family’s secrets disappear from one generation to the next. Kate Earnshaw’s father’s suicide has left many unanswered questions. In handling his estate she wonders if she ever really knew him. He never explained why he let his childhood home in Eastern Colorado fall into ruin or why he’d kept the property a secret. And he never told Kate about his close friendship with Evan Hastings, the handsome and somewhat puzzling man who lives on the property near the abandoned house. Evan seems to have as many secrets as her father and knows more about him than Kate did. But there’s something about Evan that calls her back to her father’s home. Something that threatens to unearth more than the past. Legacy of Secrets explores family secrets, a daughter’s grief and her search for answers, and a chance for love.
