Book Review for "The Safe-Keepers Secret"

The Safe-Keepers Secret by Sharon Shinn
In the small town of Tambleham, one quiet night, a lone rider dressed in black rode to the house of the Safe-Keeper, Damiana...  The Safe-Keeper of each town, village, or city, has a very special job.  The inhabitants of the city, ect...have the Safe-Keepers just to tell their darkest and dirtiest secrets to, knowing that the Safe-Keeper will never a say word to another soul unless it is told to another Safe-Keeper.  But Safe-Keepers are not the only special ones in the kingdom there are also Truth-Tellers, who can tell only the truth when asked directly, and the legendary solitary Dream- Maker who make dreams and wishes come true, but not the ones of their choosing, but of the magic within them.  Damiana and her sister are Safe-Keepers, but not in the town.  And one night when Damiana is giving birth to her child with a secret father, a foundling comes to her house.  The King's Safe-Keeper has given her another child with secret parents, and only Damiana, her sister, and the man, knows who the father really is.  Years pass and the two children grow up, one a girl and one a boy.  Reed is the oldest by only a minute with Fiona following.  They are fraternal twins with hopes and dreams.  Fiona dreams of being Tamblehams next Safe-Keeper and despite what everyone says she is determined to be the best.  Reed on the other hand can't stay still and longs for excitement and adventure.  But when a secret is let out things will definitely change for this family.  This story is a heart-warming tale of family, friendship and romance.  It even has a few surprises and mysteries.  In the end, all is revealed and cleared up with a happy ending, and what a good story id right?  The only thing was for me, this is a good one but I didn't like it as much because there was no action and no adventure.  (Being me that is what I love the most in a story, I can't help it! :D)  A little bit more in that area would be perfect because at some  parts in the story you are just waiting around for something exciting, and even sometimes interesting, to happen!  I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year!
