An ‘incident’ shouldn’t define my life.
A smile isn’t the only thing I should remember from the man I lose my V-card to.
And nothing should derail me from my goals.
Except as fate likes to play with those who don’t believe in love, I find my Cheshire in the same place I lost him four years ago. Behind his charming grin and his head made of steel, He hides a heart full of love and a ‘happily ever after’ made of dreams. But I work hard to forget my nightmare…


Love isn’t something I deserve after what happened with my ex.
So when I finally find Alice—the girl I’ve obsessed with for the last four years—I’m not sure I’m ready to take a leap. But something compels me to pursue her.
She’s smart, determined, and a promising young athlete, and I need her to give me a chance. Even if she thinks I’m a loser and there is no room for me in her life.

The Secrets We Keep will break your heart and touch your soul with a love story about surviving your past and forgiving oneself while trying to succeed in your passion. HEA guaranteed.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute page turner!!

    Hailey and Asher had a one night stand four years ago that left them thinking about each other often through out the years. Who would think that when they meet up again that connection they had that first night would be still be there?

    When they meet again lots have change in their personal lives but that connection they have is still very much alive. That connection allows them to help each other with their individual demons.

    This story is very well written, with some amazing characters and a developed plot. There are strangers who connect, family and friends who are there through it all and will support you come what may! The absolute realness and rawness of this story will have you turning the pages until the very end.

    Reasons I enjoyed this book:

    Action-packed, Entertaining, Inspirational, Original, Page-turner, Realistic, Twisted, Wonderful characters

    4.0 out of 5 stars Touching love story with a HEA! Plus one of the best kissing scenes!

    The Secrets We Keep is about the love story between WNBA player Hailey and could be rock star Asher who meet on the night Hailey is determined to give her virginity to a stranger after learning her college boyfriend and his friends have a $1000 bet on who will take her virginity. Little did either Asher or Hailey know how powerful of a bound would form between them from sharing this intimate act.

    Four years later our two main characters run into each other at a family celebration. Their uncles have fallen in love and married joining the two families. Once in each other's presence the attraction takes over. They're drawn back to each other, but Asher has pined for the girl he deflowered and wants more than a physical reunion. Hailey has gone through an experience that she has kept secret and fears risking more than a physical relationship with Asher. The pull is too great between them to resist and each ends up giving in to their desires. Secrets come out. Each has to come to terms with what they really want from each other and out of life.

    The Secrets We Keep has one of the best kissing scenes I've ever read. The main characters are easy to fall in love with and to become invested in. Their love story has a happy ending. I recommend The Secrets We Keep to anyone looking for a strong female sports mc, a loving rock star male mc, an incredible kissing scene, fully developed characters dealing with relevant issues, and/ or looking for a happy ever after. Gabrielle G. has written a poignant love story in The Secrets We Keep.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Heartwrenching!!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2021
    Format: Paperback
    This is Asher and Hailey’s story, and he is a starving musician, while she is the star of the basketball court. Asher has obsessed over Hailey for the past few years, and he is determined to pursue her. These two are both damaged souls and are haunted by their pasts, and together they compliment and support each other perfectly. This is a beautifully written story which is raw, gritty, and is a heartwrenching tale which pulls at the heartstrings throughout, and is an emotional roller coaster, with secrets, healing, family, trauma, heartbreak, family, forgiveness, and love. I was totally enthralled throughout this riveting page turner, and I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend. Be aware there may be triggers due to some of the content, which are written with compassion and sensitivity.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful story about two broken hearts
    Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2021
    Format: Kindle
    This was the book I had been waiting on since meeting Asher! It did not disappoint. He's this beautiful tortured soul who's hanging on to so much pain and secrets. It's funny that in your head you can feel so broken but your broken heart might just be the exact thing someone else needs to heal. It might not make sense just like Asher and Hailey shouldn't make sense but it's just right.

    Hailey is this determined driven so put together star athlete who is moments from shattering from all her secrets. She thinks that she can make a deal to keep her secrets and her heart safe but it's not the right path for her. Fate keeps bringing Asher and Hailey together in the worst timing but most needed moments. These two just have to decide to fight for what heals their hearts- each other.

    None of Gab's books are easy and you will want to smack both Asher and Hailey a few times but don't give up on them. Nothing wonderful is ever easy. I loved that they held each others hands through sharing their secrets. Just tore my heart apart. The entire cast of Gab's books make an appearance in this one which I loved so hard.

    TW for you- this book deals with the aftermath of sexual assault. You can read as a stand alone but i think the experience is so much more knowing all the characters and how they are interconnected.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Gritt family, next generation - Hailey
    Reviewed in Australia on August 14, 2022

    KINDLE UNLIMITED REVIEW

    I have loved the Gritt family since Gabrielle G's first book. Now we read the first of the next generation, Hailey Gritt, daughter of Aaron. Back in book 1 - Heartbroken, Aaron reconnected with his first and only love, Alane, and together they made a family with offspring Hailey and Lawson from his earlier marriage and their son Adam.
    In this book, Hailey was out of town for basketball when she met a gorgeous stranger in a bar. On a whim, she told him she was Alice and shut him down before he named himself. She called him Cheshire Cat for his smile. A mind blowing tryst in the bathroom, followed by Hailey's exit, was meant to put a line under that hook up forever.
    Asher is filled with regrets over two women. The one who tragically died and the other was Alice, a woman he dreams of meeting again.
    When his job puts him in the very same bar during a Gritt family celebration, who should be the guest of honour, but his Alice.
    Hailey is not the same person he met those years ago. Something happened to her while she was at college. Behind the fake smiles, she looks broken.
    I love the gentle care that Asher took of Hailey. It filled my heart with joy to read such a sensitive and loving character.
    All of the beloved Gritts, their friends and lovers are here in this book. It was so good to have them back again!
