Series: Silver Valley University #2

*Check triggers before reading*

Secrets Revealed picks up right where book one ended and we see the impact of what was revealed. Once everything is revealed, the harem has to come to terms with how they've treated Ellie and how to repair the harm done. Ellie and her harem slowly put the pieces back together while also dealing with what happened to Ellie.

In book one, I HATED her original harem for how they treated her. I'm not fully on board, but I like them more than I did before. They recognized they messed up and worked hard to prove to Ellie how much they love her. I'll always favor Theo, but it's clear the rest of the harem adores Ellie and they will do anything for her.

Ellie was the highlight of this book for me. She's strong, powerful, sweet, and full of love. Ellie experienced traumatic events that stole her power and choices, but she took it back through therapy, the legal system, and love. She shows so much vulnerability not only with her harem, but also in sharing her trauma with the world. I love her and want her to be happy.

Another highlight for me is Theo. I was obsessed with him in book one and that only continued with this book. He's the best partner to Ellie. He provides Ellie with unwavering support throughout the series. He just wants to love her in whatever way she'll let him. I love his bond with Lilly so much. The name she called him made me emotional πŸ₯Ί

The cliffhanger has me desperate for book three. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Thank you to Alisha and Peachy Keen for the ARC!

Description:
*The description comes directly from Amazon's website*

One secret down, only one more to go.

This wasn’t the way I wanted them to find out, but the universe doesn't seem to be on my side these days.

But now they know, both of my secrets.

I'll need to learn to balance the new changes in my life, while battling with the old wounds of the past.

They say they don’t hate me anymore, and that they just want to start over.

I want that too, but how can I forgive them after everything they have done? How can we just move past it?

Will they think I'm worth it when life becomes too hard?

My life is about to become a whole lot more chaotic.

This has been one of my worst years so far, and the pain isn't over yet.

Would having them by my side make it easier?

Life is short, so why not grab the bit of good I can find and hold on tight. Surround myself with the love of the people who mean the most.

Because I feel I am going to need it.

Our story has only just begun.

Silver Valley University is a college bully, Reverse Harem. This book may have some darker themes. Please be advised that sexual assault is a big topic in this story. Graphic sex. Swearing. Age gap. Alcohol abuse.
