5.0 out of 5 stars Bravo to Cardin!, December 22, 2004

This review is from: Are Your Dirty Little Secrets... (Paperback)

The sequel to All That Remains takes us further into the lives of the rich characters Cardin created. Happily married Darrin and Kristina have it all, but secrets from the past threaten that happiness.

While Kristina searches for the child she gave away as a teen, Darrin battles allegations of rape brought forth by his dead wife's vengeful lookalike cousin. The two struggle to remain supportive and untouched by these outside trials.

Are Your Dirty Little Secrets is a wonderfully suspenseful read and a must have for fans of contemporary romance.
