The Secret Letters by Taryn Leigh

 

From Amazon

CAN SECRETS REMAIN HIDDEN FOREVER?

'Brilliantly written! An irresistible combination of romance, drama and suspense. I couldn't put it down.'

RACHEL, saved from an attack twelve years before by a faceless stranger, never got to thank him, never knew his name.

Despite the devastation she chose to rise above it to help others from their pain by becoming a psychologist....
Her only issue now is that she's an expert at fixing everyone else's problems, and blind to her own.

After a long relationship with her boyfriend WILL starts to go south, she turns to her best friend AMELIA for guidance

Suddenly her world is turned upside down when tragedy strikes and she's left with no one to comfort her but Will's rude older brother RUARI.

Paralyzed by fear, she struggles to take grip of her life, until the day when anonymous letters begin to appear from the stranger who saved her twelve years before.

Praise for Taryn Leigh:

'An emotional roller-coaster of a book, just amazing!' - Katie Jones, book reviewer
'Beautiful and touches the soul' - Amazon reviewer Nicola Ball

My thoughts

I gave this a 4 stars or 8/10. 

My thanks to TBConFB reviewer group for a copy of this in exchange for an honest review.

When Rachel suffers an attack at the hands of an assailant and is saved by a faceless stranger, it takes her a while to come to terms with what has happened and try to put things behind her and move on with her life. She decides to use her experience to her advantage and becomes a psychologist aiming to help others that have suffered and are coming to terms with their problems.

When tragedy strikes a second time and she is struggling to cope, she finds some help from her boyfriend Will's older brother Ruari. As things become a little blurred around the edges for Rachel and her life appears to be in tatters. She begins to receive a series of anonymous letters always signed Love x. The letters begin to give her some hope and encourage her to take control of her life again. 

As Rachel begins to take back control of her life, Ruari always seems to be there and it's her boyfriend Will that should be there for her, not his older brother.

Will Rachel ever find out the identity of the anonymous letter writer or will he/she remain forever hidden?

This is the first book that I have read by this Author and it was an enjoyable read. A little predictable in places, but this didn't in any way spoil my enjoyment of it at all. I enjoyed the writing style and the story had me hooked from the start. I am not sure what genre I would put it in, maybe suspenseful romance as it was a cross between a soft thriller and a romance.
