Rebekah Brown's Reviews > Revealed

Revealed had potential to be a 5 star read, it just needed Tamera Alexander to do a little more with it. Revealed has so many great components; characters with great backstories, a "not your typical plot", great flow, and lots of historical information. Our main characters Annabelle and Matthew are both flawed from experiences in their lives, but learn to rise above their past hurt.

After Annabelle's husband Johnathan passes away on their journey to Idaho, Annabelle is forced to go back to Willow Springs where she is known as a woman with loose morals. Upon burying her husband, Annabelle learns that before Johnathan passed, he wished for her to continue the journey to Idaho. Annabelle completes the journey with the last man she ever expected...Matthew Taylor. Matthew is Johnathan's brother, who has made his disgust for Annabelle and her for former profession known. The two come to terms with their true selves in the story.

Tamera Alexander is known for her long detailed novels, but I felt Revealed fell short with the development of Matthew & Annabelle's relationship as well as the ending..it was so abrupt! I was looking for more from the ending of the novel. Even though Revealed is 2nd in a series, the next novel may include our main characters but it is not a continuation of this story. What happened with Annabelle & Johnathan's baby? We need to know!! Overall, Revealed is a solid and enjoyable read.
