The title of [b:Simple Secrets|7140406|Simple Secrets (The Harmony Series, #1)|Nancy Mehl|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1276204921s/7140406.jpg|7404336] means so many different things in the complex threads of this novel. This is my first introduction to the writing of Nancy Mehl and it will not be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed her foray from mystery into romantic suspense. She knows her stuff. Each chapter and page was another hook that made me need five more minutes to find out what happens next all the way to the very end.

Love at first sight was palpable between Gracie and Sam and I look forward to seeing how their relationship evolves in the next book, [b:Simple Deceit: A Mennonite Community's Way of Life Is Threatened by Outsiders|8349344|Simple Deceit A Mennonite Community's Way of Life Is Threatened by Outsiders (The Harmony Series, Book 2)|Nancy Mehl|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51rMlOPr1zL._SL75_.jpg|13202105]. Set in a mostly Mennonite Town of Harmony, Kansas readers are taken on an educational journey into the reals of Mennonite personalities versus assumed stereotypes. Every piece of the puzzle was enlightening and interesting.

Though the story revolves around something not so pleasant watching how evil can be used and turned for good in the end was enjoyable. Keeping the faith and listening for God's will to come through while attempting to find the secrets between the darker side of the town will keep readers entertained in full.
