Tender Secrets

The romance is awesome

Ann Christopher introduces readers to Viveca Jackson, a reporter for the New York Times. Viveca has decided to take a six-month sabbatical to write the story of the century. She has been commissioned to write the biography of one of the country's most successful families - The Warners. Reynolds Warners built his company from very humble beginnings to a million dollar business. It has been twenty years since his death and Viveca is on a mission to reveal all of their darkest secrets - until she meets Andrew Warner. Andrew is the current CEO and heir of the Warner Dynasty. He is upset that his mother, Arnetta, has agreed to this tell-all novel. When he meets Viveca he figures he can woo her with his good looks and charm. Viveca proves that she is not one of his regular air-headed models that he is used to dating. Viveca is sexy, smart and she refuses to allow anyone to take advantage of her. Viveca has other reasons for wanting to write the book and she is determined to get it done. Andrew has his own reasons for not wanting the story told. After sharing a night of passion, they realize they shared the same desires and the same sexual appetite. It was their attraction that ultimately prevents them from getting what they want. Tender Secrets is part romance and mystery. The reader is instantly captured in the secret lives of the Warner family as everyone tried to hide a secret that could destroy everything. Uncovering family secrets would also ease the heartache that Viveca has carried around with her for years. As the reader, I was easily captured in this story and eagerly turned each page as I tried to put the puzzle together. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a little mystery along with their romance. Reviewed by: Priscilla C. Johnson APOOO BookClub

I read this book in a few hours. I could not put it down. I loved Vivi and Andrew. Andrew knew what he wanted and would not let secrets get in the way. I loved how he put his cards on the table and made Vivi make a decision. The story was well developed and the characters seemed so real. The secondary characters were meaningful and added to the story. The love scenes scorched the pages. I needed a tall glass of ice water to get through the scenes. This will be added to my collection of must re-reads on those lonely nights. Nice job.

This book was well written. You will fall in love with both Viveca & Andrew. The sparks just flew off the book. I can't wait for Eric's story.

Ms. Christopher did an outstanding job. Vivica and Andrew's story was very good as were all the other characters. Vivaca was set out for revenge, but found love. Andrew, who did not believe in love because he felt no one had ever loved him, fell for Viveca 100%. I have read all of Ms. Christopher's books and she is a very talented writer. Keep it up Ms. Christopher and I am waiting for the next.

This is the second book that I have read by Ann Christopher and I love it. The charters and the story line are so believable. Viveca Jackson is a strong independent woman looking for revenge who is also scared of letting anyone get to close. Then along comes Andrew the enemy and she's trying her best to fight the chemistry between them. But what a man Andrew is willing to sacrifice everything for the women he loves. You have to love Eric every one should have a cousin like him. I can't wait for Eric's story. This book will keep you guessing and wanting more.
