 The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . FAMILY SECRET (The O'Connells, #9) . . .  Have we finally got to the secret of the O'Connells'. What more could we find out about this family? Where are all these secrets going to leave the O'Connells in the end? What are the next steps? Who will be the first to make them? Raymond O'Connells. Where has he been for eighteen years? Why did he leave his family? Why now?

I am giving you nothing. I am telling you that you will need to jump right in and see for yourself what, when, why, and how the O'Connells family secret comes to light and was dark in the first place. 

This time around John is joined by Eileen Smith. Together they bring light to the mystery of Raymond O'Connells and the event from eighteen years ago. With the words from lorhainne Eckhart the story unwinds and fills you mind with all the images as the words flow from our narrators.

Now this is just my observation and opinion, but I highly suggest that you start from the very beginning of this series and follow it all the way through to the end. You get so much more out of the story if you know it all. 

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Lorhainne Eckhart. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

Just what is the mystery behind Raymond O'Connells disappearance? NY Times and USA Today best-selling author Lorhainne Eckhart brings you The Family Secret, an O’Connell family novel, when a body is discovered at the edge of town, rumors, circumstantial evidence, and a chance for revenge lead to one family member’s arrest, and an all out effort to take several other O’Connells down as well. 

“Wow what drama, what tension, what suspense.” (Susan Jordens) 

“This was a very explosive and heart wrenching story. A body is found and the DA is out for blood. As long as it's O'Connell blood, he doesn't much care whose.” (KEC200) 

Raymond O’Connell was the love of Iris’s life - from the day she met him, to the day a year later when she married him, to the tragic night before she never saw him again. 

Some would say they had the perfect all-American life. Now, 18 years later, questions arise about the night her husband disappeared, leaving a bloody knife and a letter addressed to her, in which he said goodbye and told her not to look for him, with not even a second thought for her and their six children.

TOUR Audio - CONTEMPORARY SUSPENSE - JUSTICE (The O’Connells, #8) by Lorhainne Eckhart Narrator John Mo

JUSTICE
The O'Connells, #8
by Lorhainne Eckhart
Narrator: John Mo
Length: 1 hours 38 minutes
Released: May 17th 2021
Publisher: Lorhainne Eckhart, INC.
Genre: Romantic Suspense

 The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . JUSTICE (The O'Connells, #8) . . .   There was more revealed with this short installment in the O'Connells series. Someone is poking the O'Connells. Someone knows more than any of them would have suspected. Marcus has a lot to deal with in this short catch-up to what's going on in the O'Connells clan at this point. 

I found something soothing with John's voice. I felt like a friend was talking to me. A friend was there telling me a story that felt like reality. 

**I have to come clean and state that I do not listen to any audiobook at regular speed. All audio has been 2 - 3 times the normal speeds for me to keep up and stay engaged. 

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Lorhainne Eckhart. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

 

What will happen when the secret Marcus has been holding on to begins to unravel, and someone uses it as leverage? 

One morning, Marcus O’Connell is confronted by his deputy, Harold Waters, about an accusation that he’s hidden evidence of a crime. Harold knows something is going on in the O’Connell family. Even his partner, Suzanne, is acting strangely. Harold has made it clear that he doesn’t do secrets, but Marcus isn’t too inclined to share the details of the O’Connells’ secret, even with Suzanne’s urging. 

At the same time, he learns that the sentencing for those involved in the recent high school crime has been assigned to an overtly conservative judge who makes no apologies for his bias, letting privileged kids walk while tossing others away all because of who their families are. Marcus soon learns there is much more going on behind the scenes with the judge than he’s comfortable with. 

Added into the mix is the fact that the adoption for Eva has suddenly taken a turn for the worse. Her grandfather wants to be a part of her life and is questioning Marcus and Charlotte’s fitness as parents. With everything weighing on Marcus, he needs to make some hard choices about coming clean with his family’s secret and taking a stand against the unfairness that has cropped up in a criminal case that should’ve been open and shut. 

In finding a way to keep Eva in their family and close the adoption, Marcus may need to realize that carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders alone isn’t the answer - and that reaching out, asking for help, and trusting someone could be the only way to resolve everything.

TOUR Audio - CONTEMPORARY SUSPENSE - THE HOMETOWN HERO (The O’Connells, #7) by Lorhainne Eckhart Narrator John Mo

THE HOMETOWN HERO
The O'Connells, #7
by Lorhainne Eckhart
Narrator: John Mo
Length: 3 hours 38 minutes
Released: March 4th 2021
Publisher: Lorhainne Eckhart, INC.
Genre: Romantic Suspense

 The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . THE HOMETOWN HERO (The O'Connells, #7) . . . My introduction to this family was interesting. I was sort of thrown in and wanting to know so much more. I felt as if I was missing something with this first of the series that I began with. There were six other books in the series before this that may or maynot hold answer to questions that I am looking for. Owen was the big brother of a family that lost so much. Then on top of all that this family had been through there was a secret Owen was guarding. 

This was not a long listen but it was a key portion of the mystery behind the disappearance of a key figure in Owen's life. Then he has a rival come back into his life and noses going in places they should not. Mystery surrounds this family and someone knows a bit too much. 

Thank you to John Mo. My introduction to your narration style was enjoyable. 

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Lorhainne Eckhart. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

In this shocking O’Connell family novel, a brother’s secret is exposed, opening up old wounds and creating a scandal that could rock the community. 

Big brother Owen O’Connell was only 16 when his father mysteriously disappeared, forcing him to become a father figure to his five younger siblings. If you were to ask them, they’d say Owen is the perfect older brother with the perfect life: He’s single, a plumber, working his own hours in a close-knit community. Owen, though, knows that appearances are often deceiving. 

When he is called to a plumbing emergency at the local high school after a grad prank goes wrong, he finds his old rival Tessa Brooks, now a teacher, holding a broken pipe in the middle of the flood, thinking she can fix the problem. However, the two soon make a horrifying discovery: the body of a student tucked away in a closet. 

The event brings authorities flocking in, and in the ensuing chaos, Owen realizes that someone knows too much about his family. Having carefully held the family together since his father disappeared, he is determined to keep their secrets right where they are, dead and buried. But sometimes, secrets get revealed in the most scandalous of ways.
