Uncovering Her Nine Month Secret by Jennie Lucas

5.0

After so many years of living in a cold gray world, my life exploded into color—because of him.

A book that starts with...

A man who’d seduced and betrayed me...

says a lot.

Lena Carlisle with her five month old baby Miguel is on the run for the past one year (she stayed for a brief period in Mumbai too, I can’t even imagine how) from Duke Alejandro Navaro, the baby’s father, with whom she thought she was in love once. But find her he did.

The first M&B I have read which is written in first-person narrative, from the POV of Lena. And for that only, this one is for keeps. It sure made it an interesting and altogether different read.
Lena’s cousin, Claudie, is a real character! And Edward St. Cyr, their neighbour is such a snake. Thankfully, the misunderstanding created by Claudie is done away with in the first few chapters, thereby giving way to the start of a beautiful journey.
It is evident early in the book that Alejandro is hiding something, behind his oft spoken words (which Lena is too dense to see), but that’s no reason for being a prick, though Lena behaves nothing less than a heel herself sometimes, what with bringing her admirer, Edward, into every conversation between them.
Uncovering His Lifelong Secret can be another title for the book, the secret being something totally unexpected. And the dramatic way it was brought to the fore for Lena, was nothing short of amazing.
Alejandro’s American Abuela, Maurine, was delightful. I loved how she and Lena, another American, nonetheless, hit it off.
Eee...loved this one more due to the action scene towards the end.
The story was rounded up with a sweet epilogue.
