Review: Sugar Coated Secrets - Carmen Rosales - September 2024 I was in two minds with this book as the cover and the blurb made this book out to seem like a dark romance read when in fact it was more on the sweeter side with an edgy twist and felt like a lot of the earlier New Adult Romances I used to read by Jessica Sorensen and Abbi Glines. The book starts with our main character Dulce in high school and it's her birthday, she has been just dropped home by Ford Keller - the hottest guy in school. The pair go their separate ways and then on prom night, Dulce gets a text from Ford inviting her. For Dulce though it seems that this is a prank and she gets left in the field. That night, she is raped and assaulted and it becomes the worst night of her life as she also got pregnant and miscarried. The night even still four years later gives her PTSD and panic attacks. When Ford comes back to town, he wants to pick up with the sweet girl he knew from high school - of course as he left b

Meg gets Georgia - a girl who could be her potential cousin to take a DNA test which she does, at the same time Isobel Ashworth has also taken a DNA test and the results match with Meg as a close relative
