No More Secrets

Author: Kerry Lonsdal

Series: No More #3

Publisher: Lake Union Publishing

Release Date: March 14, 2023

Easily the best book of the trilogy!  Lucas’s story is what Lonsdale fans have been waiting for!

Lucas Carson never wanted his life to turn out the way it did.  He couldn’t seem to get affection from his father, so he tried acting out to get his attention.  One of these occasions goes wrong and he winds up serving a six-month stint in a juvenile detention center that add far more scars than he came in with.  Traumatized by his experience, he shuts everyone else out of his life, even his sixteen-year-old pregnant sister Lily who is thrown out of their house.

Years later while living life in nowhere, he stumbles across a young runaway named Shiloh.  Lucas can’t help but see Lily when he looks at her and decides to help her to make amends for his past.  He can’t risk a run in with the law because of some other acts he has done, but he feels he must help her out. 

I have loved each book in this series, but this one really takes the cake.  I fell in love with Lucas’s story.  In the first two books, he is so standoffish that you can’t really take him seriously as a character, but now readers get to see his true self.  This is a story of redemption and love, though not romantic.  I love how everything tied up at the end, especially with their mother, and hope that there is a future story where readers can find out more about the characters lives as they live them out.

There is quite a bit of language as well as some sex scenes throughout.  I recommended this book for mature readers.  It could be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading the previous two books in the series first!
