You get what you expect
I was intrigued to see what Mel Gibson was up to these days. And I pretty much got what I expected. This is a pretty much by the numbers action flick. You get all the cliches: Gibson's grizzled old vet, a mature cop with secrets, and the green rookie. They also throw in the stereotypic Latin gang and Bosworth's very generic doctor. It all flows as you'd expect with an ending a blind man can see a mile away. Set the bar low and wasn't disappointed. Just got some actiony cheese to fill some time. Just really hoping the talent in this movie raises the bar in their projects heading forward.

Dirty Secret is the story of Allie and Vaughn. A light hearted and entertaining story of love. I enjoyed reading the combination of love and sport. Kelly added to my love of Hockey, and I appreciated the inclusion of the locker room banter.

From one memorable night, and a long remembered teenage crush, to a story of love, passion and secrets which change everything. Reading the perspective of Allie, always putting her brother first, it was wonderful to see her take something for herself, and seeing the change in Vaughn from his attitude on the ice, to his warmth with Allie.

Definitely worth the read and the five stars in my opinion.

It's a pretty brutal but just-deserved ending to this story. Bad guys get their comeuppance, more secrets are revealed and answered and the debts are finally brought to an end.

I really enjoyed some parts of this, others made me wince in sympathy/pain at what they were going through but I have to admit it was one of the better endings I've read to a series, even if I didn't agree with one of the authors casualties. I cried friggin' buckets for a good twenty per cent at the end. That person shouldn't have died and should have gotten their own book because I liked them too much. :'(
