The Best-Kept Secrets

The Huntresses, Book 3

By: Sarah M. Eden

Narrated by: Luone Ingram

With her ever-ready smile, Eve O’Doyle faces life’s challenges with boundless optimism. However, even she finds it difficult to see the silver lining in her parents’ news: disaster has struck, leaving their genteel family in dire financial straits. But all is not lost. In the name of economizing, Eve will skip the London Season—even if it means dooming herself to spinsterhood. Determined that her sister, Nia, should enjoy their Christmas gathering with the Huntresses and the Pack, Eve will keep the truth quiet and soak in her last fleeting moments of lighthearted revelry with her friends. But from the moment she departs from her family’s Dublin estate, nothing goes as planned.

Exhausted by his relentless role as family peacemaker, Duke Seymour anticipates the brief respite of a festive holiday with friends. Escorting two of the Huntresses to the party is no hardship—the O’Doyle sisters are always a delight. But when an unforeseen winter storm waylays the group at a country inn, Duke and Eve form a surprising attachment that runs far deeper than friendship. And though they are eager to explore these new feelings, upon their arrival at the party, the couple is immediately met with unexpected opposition—they soon realize that no matter their feelings, the weight of responsibility they both feel toward their families may crush their dream of a happy ending for themselves.

Another great one!

Such a lovely story filled with great friends, not so great family and all the feelings that come with them. Duke has so much to deal with as his insecure parents and needy grandmother use up all his patience and embarrass him at every turn. Eve has her own problems with money and secrets. I loved how their lives came together and they found help with their dreams and future. I'm looking forward to seeing how their lives progress in the series.

Duke and Eve

I love listening to these audio books from the multiple interconnected series of books that include, The Gents, The Huntresses, The Jonquil Brothers, and The Lancaster Family. And although you can jump into this story without having read any others, there are so many characters that have been introduced over the years, that I found that it becomes much more entertaining to enjoy all of the books as they build upon each other.

Duke Seymour's parents and grandmother were absolutely horrendous, which made his connections and friendships with the women who were the Huntresses and the men who were the Pack that much more important to him. I always love the found family vibes that are in these stories. I also loved the addition and inclusion of some of the members of the Gents' generation in the party.

I could deeply feel the hurt that Eve was subjected to at times in this novel. It was hard to see her heart break as she dealt with so much, yet it ended up making the happiness for these two characters even sweeter when things finally worked out.

(4.5 stars)

Meant for each other

I always thoroughly enjoyed Miss Eden’s work however I felt like the ending was a little anticlimactic for me. The MMC’s family together was like hearing nails on a chalkboard so, the less time enduring that the better. I am holding out to see more of the lovebirds’ story fleshed out in future installments. As usual the narration was well done by Miss Ingram. I eagerly await what’s next for the gang!!

A lovely romantic story

Very well done by the narrator. I love Sarah M Eden’s book’s. This was another book in the Huntresses and it was so fun to see them all again.

oooo I love it !

For this book I would read snapdragon since the main characters of that story are mentioned in this one. as always love prevails!
