“Best Kept Secret” picks up after “The Sins of the Father” with the Cliftons and the Barringtons and moves the story along to the 1950’s. As the story plunges along there is a new saga of the two families begun with another generation through Sebastian and Jessica as their lives unfold. Blending historical fact with great characters readers care about and a moving story, “Best Kept Secret” is a great addition to the saga begun in “Only Time Will Tell” that will have readers turning pages to the shattering cliff hanger ending.

Be Careful What You Wish For
Picking up right after the end of “Best Kept Secret” “Be Careful What You Wish For” continues the page turning excitement and keeps a reader to the very end where once again there is a cliff hanger ending. This is the fourth installment of the Barrington and Clifton saga that continues to thrill readers with great characters, fast pacing against a backdrop of historical fact. Jeffery Archer continues to show with this series why he is one of the best story tellers in the business of writing. Though it is a bit more complicated than others in the series “Be Careful What You Wish For” is still a delight to read. Its only problem is that we will have to wait a year before the next one is released.

Your Perfect Life
Casey and Rachel are childhood friends who go to a school reunion. It is there that something strange happens. Casey wakes up the next day as Rachel, and Rachel wakes up as Casey. They stay in touch and try to figure out how this happened as they both adjust to their changed lives. The authors have created a fun novel that races along with fun situations and the reader wondering what caused the situation to happen and hoping they are able to change back. There are several underlying messages the authors convey and do it very well with a laugh out loud story. “Your Perfect Life” would make for a perfect Lifetime Network movie.
