Hidden Secrets Between Them

By Mindy Obenhaus
Hidden Secrets Between Them by Mindy Obenhaus digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

He never meant to be a father.

But it could be the life he’s always wanted.

In Hope Crossing, Texas, nurse practitioner Kirsten Reynolds has found her dream job. The only problem is that the tiny town also has Deputy Brady James…the father of her four-year-old sons. And he doesn’t know the boys are his. But as he steps into this new role he never planned for, Brady gets a hopeful glimpse into a life with children. Will he let the fear of the unknown keep him from a future he never imagined…or will an adorable pair of twins—and their mother—change his mind?

From Love Inspired: Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness and hope.

Hidden Secrets Between Them Reviews

3.5
“Mindy Obenhaus' Hidden Secrets Between Them is a cute story about learning trust and responsibility. I enjoyed how the book discussed the importance of fatherhood. It was interesting seeing Kirsten realize how much her boys were benefitting from having a father figure in their lives. It was sweet watching Brady grow into his role as a father and learning to love his sons. I also loved watching Kirsten learn to trust other people and that she doesn't need to be in control of everything. At the beginning of the book, she is determined to take care of her sons, her clinic, her house, and everything else by herself. Throughout the book, she learns that she can - and needs to - rely on other people. While I definitely enjoyed the book, I wish it had a better discussion on why premarital s*x is harmful. The main characters had children out of wedlock four years prior, which causes the main tension in the book, which I knew before I began reading the book (it's mentioned in the blurb), but I would've expected the characters to struggle with that a bit more. Overall, Hidden Secrets Between Them was a sweet, quick read with several sweet moments that will make you smile! I received an advance copy of this book. My opinions are my own. A Positive review was not required.”
“Another absolutely charming story from one of my Love Inspired favorites! Mindy never fails to write stories that capture my heart, usually with adorable kiddos. This one checks all those boxes. I loved the second chance romance for Kirsten and Brady and their twins were completely adorable, although I have to say, my favorite character was Hank. I enjoyed the storyline of this one and it’s got a great ending. Another favorite from Mindy! I received a copy of this book from the author and was not required to post deposit review all thoughts of my own.”
“A second chance at love... IF they can get over their fears and trust each other again. They had plans, they were in love and they had found the person they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with. That was until Brady dropped the news to Kirsten that he never wanted kids, and they ended up going their separate ways. What Brady and Kirsten didn't know at that time was that the damage was already done. So when Kristen finds out she's pregnant with Brady twins, she never tells him. And while Brady said he didn't want kids, it wasn't because he didn't like them, it was because he feared he'd pass a medical condition down to them. Fast forward years later and Kirsten has landed her dream job in Hope Springs. The only hiccup... Brady. She's going to have to tell him about his boys and hope for the best. She has this secret, he has his secret to WHY he didn't want kids. Is there anyway to get beyond their fears and see a future for their boys?! This was a sweet, sweet story! The chemistry and history between Kirsten and Brady was so obvious. And I loved that they both realized their struggles were based on self reliance and not relying on God. Mindy wrote a wonderful story here! You don't want to miss it!”
