Secrets from the Past - eBook

Secrets From the Past is the second in Blackwood vs. Baldwin Shores series by Elise Noble. Elise is an expert at weaving a storyline that allows the reader to take part in an adventure filled with intrigue, fear, subterfuge, artful manipulation, unexpected twists and her unique humor.
Baldwin Shores isn’t the quaint sleepy coastal town that one would expect. In the Baldwin’s Shore series, The Bad Samaritan is introduced by saving lives and identifying criminals. Local Law enforcement are still baffled and suspect that either Nico Belinsky or Deck Langdon to be the Bad Samaritan.
Nico Belinsky accidentally runs into Kaylin La Rocca in New York City where they have lunch, exchanged phone numbers but they never call one another. Nico remembers the little girl he befriended and thought of as a sister when her mother, a model, lived in Russia with his father. About six months later Kaylin leaves a message for help while she was in Manassas. He tries to find her, hires a PI who was never able to find any information other than the arrest warrant for the murder of an off-duty deputy sheriff. All leads are dead ends. Kaylin has disappeared. There is no trail. Is she dead or has she gone far underground.
Nico contacts Blackwood Security to search for Kaylin. As a cold case Daniela di Grassi assigns Hallie Chastain a newer investigator who after speaking with Nico retraces the PI’s steps. Believing Kaylin is alive, she heads to New York City where Blackwood security investigator Collier Dafoe assists Hallie in meeting with four potential people that may help them reach their goal.

Secrets From The Past by Elise Noble (Blackwood Security vs Baldwin’s Shore #2)

Yes ✊👏!! Another brilliant storyline centered around the enigmatic Nico Belinsky and a girl from his past Kaylin La Roca.

This exceeded my expectations and there were several ‘aha’ moments as all previous mysteries and questions are answered! My desire to solve the unknown has been happily satisfied and I loved the fact that my beloved female kickass heroine Emmy Black makes an appearance.

Secrets from the Past lives up to Elise Noble's readers' expectations. Favourite characters reappear, new ones we come to love, spice, lots of mystery and a few hairy moments. What better way to start the New Year or to read at any time? A complete story that can be enjoyed on its own or read after the other books in the series. Just be warned, Elise's books are addictive. I've read them all many times.

Loved that multiple previous characters made an appearance. Crossover books are great reads. The suspense that arises around Nico in previous books is explained and he gets to meet up with an old friend.
Loved that the Bad Samaritan continues to get rid of those that cause injustice.

Several people have rather significant secrets from the past in this story! Interestingly, there are three main points of view in this story, not just the male and female protagonists. In addition, there are several chapters from the point of view of other key Blackwood characters, including Emmy. Kaylin and Nico are likable characters, and their story is sweet. Nico has appeared in previous books and is surrounded by a bit of mystery. There is some depth to his story, much of which is revealed in this book. Kaylin needs help to escape a dangerous and desperate situation and Nico has never been able to forget her – and he has just the right connections to change both their lives.

You don’t have to read the previous book in the series to enjoy this one – but why wouldn’t you? The previous book in this particular series is “Secret Weapon”, but many of the characters also appear in the Baldwin’s Shore series – Dirty Little Secrets; Secrets, Lies, and Family Ties; Buried Secrets; and A Secret to Die For. Not to mention that if you like strong women who kick butt and stand up for those who need help, the Blackwood Security series is highly recommended.

What better time to read than in the summer holiday's. This crossover book from Elise is another fun read in the Blackwood security world. I loved the intersection between Baldwins Creek and the Blackwood team. Really helped provide information on a couple of little mysteries :)
While this could be read as a stand alone mystery/romance it works so much better if you are familiar with both worlds and can take benefit from the wee bits of information spread throughout the story.
Dive in to see if Nico can rescue his girl ;)
