my review....
The second novel in The Worthington Destiny is a fine follow-up to the first book in the series, "A Perfect Ambition". The same primary cast of characters returns in "A Powerful Secret", but with the primary focus this time being on Sean, the second (and middle) child in the family. Once again, the authors take the concepts of the Birth Order and flesh out how this could manifest itself in the intriguing (and wealthy) Worthington family. I quite enjoyed how the family's story was fleshed out further in this novel, as Sean encounters the life-changing secret his mother had been keeping from him his whole life. I can't imagine how earth-shattering learning something like that would be, and yet the authors do a good job of not allowing Sean to be bogged down in his grief, but instead allow him to move through it and emerge all the stronger on the other side. I do have to say that I did not find this novel to move along as fast as the first novel in the series did, and so it did not hold my interest quite the same way the first did. It may be that I didn't get the same feeling of suspense that I did in the first novel with the bombing that took place. However, as far as contemporary fiction goes, this novel has plenty of dramatic and unexpected moments that are sure to maintain readers' interest in the characters lives. Leman and Nesbit make a strong writing team, and the novel has been well-crafted.
I urge those readers who are looking for a solid fiction book that will both provide entertainment while offering new insights on birth order to grab a copy of "A Powerful Secret". I, for one, am looking forward to how things conclude in the third book of the series, A Primary Decision, which is being released Fall 2016!
I give this book a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
