Tia and Mikey are both dealing with issues from their past. Tia was bullied and felt abandoned by her mother and Mikey always wished he had stood up to the bully of the girl he liked but never had the courage to talk to. Their paths cross again but Mikey does not remember Tia and she is determined to keep Mikey at arm's length. Mikey finally breaks down her defences and things get hot between them until the past rears it's ugly head and turns their lives upside down. Life goes from bad to worse for everyone before finally levelling out again all thanks to hard work and Secret Smiles.

Secret Smiles was a rollercoaster of emotions right from page one which takes you through all of the feels and tackles some very strong and serious subjects that may cause triggers for some people like bullying, alcohol and drug abuse and suicide. Secret Smiles was a great start to the Love in Sienna series. Laura John is a new author to me and I am looking forward to continuing with her novels. Secret Smiles is told from the first-person point of view and is a friends to lovers, second chance, Rockstar romance.
