All Hannah wanted was a summer break from being “perfect Hannah Cohen” and a chance to forget about the devastating family secret that could ruin her seemingly perfect life. So when she takes off for her eccentric aunt’s house in the mountains of North Carolina and everyone makes one big (wrong) assumption about her past, Hannah figures that it’s easier to live a lie than have to face the truth.
She never expected to make any real friends, like the hilarious and spontaneous Kate and Ashton, who drag her to late night bonfires and ice cream marathons. And she especially never counted on meeting Jude Westmore, the brooding bad boy next door with gray eyes and permanent oil smudges on his fingers, or that he would ever take an interest in her.
Between moonlit movie nights in the bed of Jude’s truck and nearly romantic Ferris Wheel rides, Hannah’s old life seems further away then ever, but can she keep her secret, or is the truth worth the risk of losing everything, including Jude?
THE SECRETS BETWEEN YOU AND ME is the second book in the Stolen Kiss Series by Shana Norris.

I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.
I really liked reading this story. The character development and storyline was so different. The beginning of the story kind of threw you into the middle of it, but not in a confusing way like other stories. I liked how this book started and progressed. As Hannah is going off to spend the summer with her Aunt, in comes Jude. Jude has been a reserved, quiet person ever since his brother passed away.
I didn't read Norris's companion story to this one, but I really liked where it picked up. I could tell there was a previous story, but you do not need to read it to enjoy this story. From the reviews on Goodreads, people are saying it was "so-so." BUT they were also fans of the other book. I liked this one just fine. It was a fun read and really interesting. I liked how the characters grew up and changed over the two months. Jude and Hannah meeting was good for both of them. They helped each other grow up even if they didn't know each other for a while. Their connection was evident in the first time they met.
This story was a fun read and really anybody that likes contemporary will like this book.
There is one thing I want to know though… who took the money? I think it was Carter. ;)
4.5 out of five stars.

Most days, Shana Norris still feels like she’s stuck at sixteen, which is probably why she enjoys writing about teens. She has faced her fear of heights to climb to the top of Chimney Rock near Asheville, NC, but she isn’t yet brave enough to go cliff-jumping into ponds. She lives in a small town in eastern North Carolina with her husband and small zoo of pets, which currently includes two dogs, five cats, and a flock of chickens.
Shana Norris has entertained millions of readers as the author of Troy High, the popular Swans Landing series, and The Boyfriend Thief, a companion book to The Secrets Between You and Me and a part of the Stolen Kiss collection.----------------------------
