The Ultimate Deception!, April 14, 2006
This review is from: Secrets of a Housewife (Paperback)
Tarron and Secret Jenkins have been together for eight years and married for five. Tarron is senior partner at an investment firm and doing very well. Secret is a stay at home mom to their two kids, Terrence and Tika. Although the couple love each other, Tarron is bored with his wife and has a gluttonous sexual appetite which he finds the remedy for in another woman's arms. You might say to yourself "so, what's new?"
Secret has a name that fits her so perfectly. This woman has some serious secrets that she has been hiding the entire time she has known her husband! So while Tarron is getting his groove on and making plans to change his life, Secret is busy having private meetings with her co-conspirator and stressing about what her husband is doing.
When Tarron gets angry one day and drops a bomb on Secret both their lives begin to spiral out of control changing everything and everyone around them.
There is so much to talk about in this story, which took me all of five hours to read. I couldn't put this book down! I am careful about what I have written so far because I don't want to spoil it for the other readers.
I will say there is an excellent cast of characters that bring tragedy, suspense, drama, and sex to this book. And with all the excitement in this story there is still one secret that Tarron doesn't know about yet...and by the end of the book I was beginning to feel sorry for Tarron.
This is Mr. Tremble's first novel and what an excellent job he did! I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel to this.

Secret's Secret, August 16, 2006
This review is from: Secrets of a Housewife (Paperback)
Who knows how to keep a secret? That hidden thing, done undercover; everyone involved is closed-mouthed, but when this secret is uncovered, other people are hurt and lives are inevitably changed.
Tarron and Secret started their relationship off lovingly, or so that is what we are led to believe. But as the years went by, and two sons later, those hidden things that have been there from the very beginning have no choice but to be revealed.
Time does not always heal wounds; it just gives space for secrets to fester and come out in ways that are not planned. Tarron found this out firsthand when his oldest son caught him with his love interest and held the knowledge over his head. In the meantime, Tarron tries to justify why he feels he can go out with the fellas, have his cake and eat it too.
But then his wife, Secret, has some secrets of her own, like why did she approach Tarron all those years ago? You know how the girls do when they hang out together, I dare you to dance with him, or I dare you to go up to that guy and kiss him.
Author J. Tremble has written a story that lets us know that all secrets are not to be kept hidden⦠sooner or later they will come to the light and life as you know it will be changed forever.

I want to know your secret, your secret is safe with me., August 8, 2006
This review is from: Secrets of a Housewife (Paperback)
I see why this book made the Essence Magazine Best Seller List. It is pack with action, drama, Suspense and Sex. It is a little on the erotic side but a page turner for sure. J.Tremble delivers a five star must read. Tarron is a mess, but Secret has a few skeletons in her closet too, does Victoria really know what she wants... But you got to read the book to find out. www.coast2coastreaders.com Reviewer
