Her Shadows, His Secrets

De: CC Monroe

Narrado por: Simone Galleaux, Corvin King

Hanna

I hid in the shadows all my life. That was where I felt I belonged the most, because I was ridiculed by the ones I loved, by society’s view of women like me.

But now I believe someone is out to hurt me, yet I don’t know who it could be. I didn’t think I had anyone to fear, except for in the shadows, the same ones that used to keep me safe.

Moving to Cherry Hill meant I could start fresh, but this town holds something I wasn’t ready for. Not only do I find things out about myself and parts of my life I didn’t know existed, but I also meet him.

Theo

I was only here for a job. But now she’s in front of me, interfering and blocking the clear path. Bending and breaking under my hands day in and day out. The secrets I hold could destroy her and, in turn, hurt me.

I regret how we began the moment I get to know her. Now, it all hangs in the balance. My secrets are getting too heavy, and when they come out, I just may lose the one woman I know I could fall for.

My Favorite Book

This was amazing! I loved it! I couldn’t get enough! CC gave me an amazing story with love and spice! My top read this year!

Love of women’s body

Love the idea of loving a woman that’s not sure how to love herself, but finds out she can be loved.

Theo and Hanna

oh my gosh CC Monroe Bestie I love it! Corvin King and Simone did amazing job on Theo and Hanna. I can't wait to hear more from them. I can definitely relate to Hanna and what she has gone through by image I'm still til this day. I wanna thank you for representing us thick women especially like Hanna. and Theo oh my gosh I just love love love love love.

Dark and steamy!

I usually only listen to RH. but this was a great MF story. hoping for more in the future from this author!

so hot 🔥

This was so good and the spice was so hot. I have worked so hard at living myself and this hit so close to home. Thank you for giving us these characters and thank you for not fetishizing her size but rather making him just see her and love all that she comes with.

This was a wonderful audiobook!

“Her Shadows His Secrets” by CC Monroe is about a girl who finds love in the most unexpected of places.

I really enjoyed this book, especially as a plus sized woman. I loved how Theo taught Hanna how to love her body the way it already was. I would say to definitely check triggers, but I’d recommend this book to my friends… and I will.

I listened to this book on Audible. Corvin King and Simone Galleaux did a wonderful job. I hated to stop listening when real life called.

Love the audio

This was my first audiobook and definitely worth the attempt... I love listen to the narrators bringing the characters to life

Ugh my heart 😭👏🏽

This was done so freaking well and the powerful message throughout was just so perfect!

voice actors playing each other is so annoying

having the girl play the guy and the guy play the girl instead of having them read all of their own lines really detracted from the chemistry. I couldn't finish.

LOVED EVERY MINUTE!

Overall opinion:
I LOVED THIS!!! CC really knows how to write an FMC is the best way!! This book had me from the very first page! Immediately hooked! Stalker, family issues, new town, new life, new guy? Uh, yes please! Hanna has to be one of my favorite characters so far that she has written. Theo was DREAMY! He is obsessed with Hanna and I was HERE FOR IT! This book honestly has everything that I didn’t know I wanted. I will forever recommend this.
