Strict Confidence by Skye Warren
5.0
Strict Confidence continues from Private Property, regaling us with Jane and Beau’s tumultuous relationship.
Warning: This is Book Two of the Rochester trilogy and ends on a cliff-hanger. Moreover, since this is a continuation, there may be spoilers from Book One.
Synopsis:
Beau Rochester may or may not have real feelings for Jane Mendoza but that doesn’t stop him from being or acting cruelly towards her.
And there are dark secrets in his past, an unknown entity at play, someone who wants to harm them.
Review:
The story picks up from where the previous book ended on a cliffhanger. It was endearing and irritating to see Beau behaving like an ass, again, towards Jane, even after all that happened in book one.
There’s a new character at play, someone that threatens the already fragile relationship between Beau and Jane. But they are stronger together, even if uncertainty assails their relationship from time to time, especially when the secrets of the past start to unfold.
I loved the moments between Mateo and Beau, remembering their friendship of the ye olde days. And then there’s Beau and Jane and their explosive passion. But I so didn’t expect the bomb that the author dropped about halfway through the story. I really truly did not expect it! There were so many revelations that kept me hooked.
I loved how the side characters were brought to life in this book, whether it be through the intuitiveness of the fire chief, the ex’s brother’s bullheaded ways, or the innkeeper.
What I loved more was Jane, Beau, and Paige’s family time, especially their monopoly time, which was one of the most adorable scenes I’ve ever read.
Finally, the way Beau resists Jane and yet craves her made the romance both forbidding and exciting. And this suspense is there throughout the story, eating up this little family’s life. There’s sadness too, towards the end, but I was not expecting such a huge cliffhanger. Oh, how scared I’m for Ms Mendoza.
