Publisher Description
Ryan Décarie could literally charm the pants off anyone. It was his biggest talent and his biggest downfall.
When he crosses paths with Bente Denison five long years after breaking her heart, sparks fly.
Trying to convince her that he’s finally ready for something more serious isn’t easy – and the reason why is simple.
He’s never had anything serious.
Totally clueless when it comes to meaningful relationships, Ryan’s in dire need of guidance, and it comes from the most unlikely source imaginable – his four-year-old niece, Bridget.

THESE BOOKS NEED TO BE MADE INTO FILMS!!! I've read the first 5 in almost a week!!!!! a THEY ARE AMAZING AND I LOVE THEM AND THEY WOULD BE AMAZING AS FILMS!!!!!!
Pure Magic
I was wrong. Of course I was.
For me, in previous Wishes books, Ryan never seemed to make the grade - a serial womaniser and a son and brother who dipped in and out of family life as he pleased; on his terms. I knew he was better than that and of course, in Secret North, GJ Walker Smith's writing brought to life a wonderful, considerate, loving, generous man.
Secret North is essentially Ryan and Bente's story. For the past few days, I have been thinking about what I would put in my review...it is so important for me to get it right. It is a testament to the writing of GJ, that I keep coming back to the fact that, Secret North isn't just about Ryan and Bente's story. It's a story about Ryan as a brother and about Ryan as an uncle. I love, love, love the dynamics of the Decare family. We get to see Ryan and Adam's relationship as brothers - respecting, loving, supporting, understanding and accepting each other. And we get to see Ryan and Bridget's relationship - which is simply wonderful, really.
It's the dialogue between uncle and niece which is pure magic for me. Imagine a grown man conversing with a four year old...not hard when Bridget is a mini Charli, with Charli's mind - watchful, thoughtful and hilarious. Ryan just loves her. Pure and simple. Their relationship is one of the best parts of the book.
Another masterpiece of a story.
