Dirty Little Secret

I love Kendall Ryan’s work, and I’ve read and enjoyed many of her books. But Dirty Little Secret is, in my opinion, her best work yet. Written in the same vein as her Filthy Beautiful Lies series, this new series from Ryan, Forbidden Desires, is off to one heck of a thrilling, edgy, sexy start.Emma Bell, a shy, girl-next-door-sexy librarian, is almost a year out of an abusive relationship when the handsome and smoldering Gavin Kingsley catches her eye…and her imagination. Months pass, however, before one day, out of the blue, he gives her a small opening, and she charges right through. Emma had no idea at the time what she was truly getting into, but one thing she did know for sure was that nothing would ever be the same.“…like a lightning flash through the darkness, I was undone.”Brooding, private, high-end escort service CEO Gavin Kingsley is an intense and dominant man. Months of surreptitiously observing the sexy brunette has caught up to him, and his iron-fisted control slips ever so slightly when he finally makes a move. It turns out, though, that Gavin was as utterly unprepared for the unconsciously submissive Emma Bell as he was captivated.What begins as an unconventional arrangement, quickly develops into much more. Gavin struggles with letting Emma in, and she’s never quite sure which version of him she’s going to get—the sweet and romantic man or the cold, closed-off, commanding one. It doesn’t really matter, though, because despite the warning bells going off in her mind, she’s falling for both of them. In him, Emma finds the darkness she secretly craves, and in her, Gavin finally finds the light he needs. It’s unfortunate that he’s not the only one who is taken with her, though.“…I was there in the middle of it all, stoking the flames and praying they didn’t take me down with them.”Everyone has secrets, and some are darker, deeper—dirtier—than others. Gavin’s secrets, however, have left him a broken man, but in Emma he finds a balm for the wounds of his past. Emma has her own secrets, though, and with Gavin, she finds herself exploring them. Secrets always to reveal themselves at the most inopportune times, and when Gavin’s secrets are exposed, Emma is left reeling, panicked and wondering if perhaps her past, or Gavin’s, is repeating itself.This book was positively riveting! Dirty Little Secret was one of the most intense, exciting, sexy books I’ve read this year. I could not put it down—I devoured it in a single sitting and was left on the edge of my seat, practically panting for the conclusion, Dirty Little Promise. Kendall Ryan’s Dirty Little Secret was absolutely fantastic, and it's definitely a favorite of the year! Five smooches from me!~ Danielle Palumbo

Dirty Little Secret' by Kendall Ryan is the First Book in the New Series called "Forbidden Desires". This is the story of Emma Bell and Gavin Kingsley and their story is a two parter- this is book 1 and will be followed up by book Two "Dirty Little Promise" So know there will be a cliffhanger at the end of the story, so be prepared.Emma Bell is a librarian, who dreams of the sexy man that she sees every morning at the coffee shop. She knows he would never like someone like her and would definitely be out of her league so she never dares to approach him. But one morning she does actually happen to exchange a few words with her dream man and he ends up leaving his business card where he knows she'll see it. Emma takes it and looks up his company. She finds out his name is Gavin Kingsley and he is a CEO for an exclusive escort agency. She ends up going to see him at his workplace. But what happens is that she goes to see Gavin, dressed very sexy and suddenly she is interviewed by Gavin and she doesn’t understand how she suddenly agrees to to date him and his brother, Cooper, exclusively. Part of the reason was the money factor-she desperately needs money to fix the brownstone but the other factor is the hotness factor of Gavin and the risk factor. She knows she is playing with fire but Emma is tired of playing it safe . The story is hot, steamy and oh so adventurous. Cooper is one sweet, nice and sexy guy. He isn’t uptight like Gavin. He isn’t distant and he likes Emma while Gavin is so emotionally distant and he is so aloof but Gavin is starting to fall for Emma, just like his brother Cooper. Now there is a love triangle going on …things are more complicated because Emma is falling for both men and she doesn’t know what to do. What was friendly has now become heartbreakingly sad and emotional. What will she do? Add on top of secrets and a huge twist that comes at the end of a huge cliffhanger. This story will be picked up in book two and I am dying to know what will happen and who Emma will choose.My Rating: 4.3 stars *****“I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."

I really enjoyed Dirty little secret by Kendall Ryan.The story was really good and kept me engrossed from start to finish.It had come t o an abrupt end so you want to read the next one.The characters were good and I wanted everything to turn out well for them.Am sure you will enjoy this book too.

Keeps you at the edge of your seat. It leaves you.hoping she will choose the nice guy...but you never know

Kendall Ryan is a great author.I loved the whole FORBIDDEN DESIRES SERIES but I have to say that "Dirty little secret" is the best of them.I was fascinated from the beginning of this story, throughout til the end...One woman who is allowed to choose between two hot brothers to fullfill her desires...So damn hot

Lectura basurilla para el borde del Mar o de la piscina. Pero la verdad es que me ha entretenido! No juzguéis jaja!!!

I quite enjoyed this book and I thought the story was different to many others in this genre. Emma Bell is a single girl who secretly has a crush on a man she sees every day in a coffee shop. She manages to track him down at his company (he co-owns with his brothers) and works for them as an escort. Emma falls in love with one of the brothers but the abrupt ending to the book leaves many unanswered questions.
