Her Secret Son (Original)
Her Secret Son (Original) | Hannah Mary McKinnon
5 posts | 8 read | 5 to read
How far would you go to protect the ones you love...when they may not be yours to protect?When Josh's longtime partner, Grace, dies in a tragic accident, he is left with a mess of grief--and full custody of her seven-year-old son, Logan. While not his biological father, Josh has been a dad to Logan in every way that counts, and with Grace gone, Logan needs him more than ever.Wanting to do right by Logan, Josh begins the process of becoming his legal guardian--something that seems suddenly urgent, though Grace always brushed it off as an unnecessary formality. But now, as Josh struggles to find the paperwork associated with Logan's birth, he begins to wonder whether there were more troubling reasons for Grace's reluctance to make their family official.As he digs deeper into the past of the woman he loved, Josh soon finds that there are many dark secrets to uncover, and that the truth about where Logan came from is much more sinister than he could have imagined...Tightly paced and brimming with tension, Her Secret Son is a heartbreakingly honest portrait of a family on the edge of disaster and a father desperate to hold on to the boy who changed his life.

I‘ve had this uncorrected proof on my shelf for almost 4 years. After the first few chapters, I was completely enthralled and annoyed at myself for not picking it up sooner. Then, I read the last three or four chapters, was completely unimpressed at the resolution and now I‘m just glad it‘s off the shelf.

This was my #BookSpin pick and 1/2 I wanted to get read for #JoyousJanuary

Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 somehow it‘s got a rating of 3.91 on Goodreads. 1y
TheAromaofBooks I get so frustrated when a book starts strong and then fizzles! 1y
janeycanuck @Andrew65 Maybe the end works for most people? It felt disjointed to me, though. 1y
janeycanuck @TheAromaofBooks and in the last 30 pages, too! 1y

Mehso-so

This was okay. Interesting premise but honestly it got a bit tedious as it went along.

Pickpick

McKinnon's latest work is taut with suspense and tension. It is a raw and heartbreaking story of a man who is desperate to not only protect his son, but to protect what innocence the boy has left after the loss of his mother.

The writing was captivating—McKinnon has an ear for dialogue which helps her create rich, layered characters with distinctive voices. I enjoyed the easy banter between Josh and his sister and their British-isms.
