Synopsis:

The start to a sexy new series from New York Times bestselling author, Kendall Ryan…

She’s much too innocent for me, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting the sweet, young librarian. I’m dominating and possessive, and my control streak runs a mile wide.

The way she looks at me—like I’m one of the heroes in the books she loves, like I’m broken, and she wants to be the one to piece me back together—it only complicates things further. I’m nobody’s hero.

But there’s no denying my tragic past reads like one of her favorite literary classics. It’s raw. Visceral. Captivating. And together, we’re a perfect mess.

How can I resist when the sexual sparks zapping between us set me on fire? The need to control, and claim her force my walls to come tumbling down, but when she learns about my dirty little secret, will my world come crashing down with it?

I absolutely adored this story line.

Dirty Little Secret captured my attention from the very first page. This novel is the first novel in the Forbidden Desires series. Huge warning to all those that hate Cliffhangers. This book ends with a major one.

Emma (who is the lead female), is a mousy Librarian. She just got out of a disastrously abusive relationship. She doesn’t want anything to do with men that is until she finds herself enamored by a mysterious man at the coffee shop. Day after day she goes to that coffee shop just to get a glimpse of him.

Gavin is a rough around the edges, balls to the wall kind of man. I loved the hell out of Gavin!!! Throughout this novel we get glimpses of a mysterious tragic occurrence that takes place and pieces together the puzzle of why Gavin is so closed off. Gavin doesn’t want anything to do with relationships. He lives his life buried in his work and uses one night stands to pass the time. That is until he sets his eyes on Emma. He’s completely drawn to her.

Cooper is not only a sweetheart but also a master manipulator. He’s spent years watching his brother build concrete walls around his heart. He’s shocked to find when Emma steps into the office his brother shows a sign of interest. Cooper devises a plan to get Gavin to step up and fight for what he wants. Along the way though Cooper finds the roles between brothers are about to switch when his heart gets in the way. The world needs more men like Cooper Kingsley!

I loved the hell out of the Kingsley Brothers.

Dirty Little Secrets was nothing short of pure brilliance. I could not put this novel down to save my life. I was entranced by the story line and addicted to the characters.

That ending though…….that was not a nice way to end Dirty Little Secret! I am dying to know what exactly happens next. This story line can go several different ways! I CAN’T WAIT!! I highly recommend Dirty Little Secrets!

Peace Love and Happy Reading,
