Resumen del Editor

Gavin Kingsley burst into my life in a sharp and unexpected twist of fate. You know his type - arrogant, dangerously handsome and impossible to ignore.

Something dark within him calls to the shadows inside me. I long for the kind of heart-wrenching passion I've only read about, and his tragic past reads like one of my favorite literary classics. Raw. Visceral. Captivating. Together, we're a perfect mess.

The deeper I fall into his world, the more I crave him like a drug - he pushes every boundary I have and challenges everything I thought I wanted. I want to unlock his heart. I want his dirty secrets.

But in the end, will he be the blade that cuts me...or the bond that makes my life complete?

Love forbidden romances!!

I adore books about quite librarians with a naughtier side to them. Emma just hasn’t found her naughty side quite yet as she just left a physically abusive relationship. So here she is, this quite, beautiful woman who wants to help find herself again. She totally obsesses over this guy at a coffee shop and as chance finally works out for her, she gets his business card and now, the stalking kicks off! OK, ok… not exactly stalking but close anyway. I was really torn here… do we go for Gavin? Gavin the CEO of a very exclusive escort service. Or Cooper, Cooper the sexy and sweet man? Tough call for a woman with no options one minute and then she’s oozing sex the next minute!

I really liked Emma! She’s quite, she’s no risk taker, and she barely mustered the courage to leave an abusive relationship. So now she finds herself seduced by Gavin and Cooper! AND with another job as their exclusive escort… can you imagine?

So here is where I faltered a bit. I really expected some super naughty business going down now! But it kind of petered out. I think it’s the name mostly, Dirty Little Secret, you think you’re just getting that. It fell a bit short for me. I love Kendall Ryan’s writing. Her characterization building. Even the chemistry was there. Not exactly what I come to expect from a Kendall Ryan book.

So I've read this book and enjoyed it but audio is always so different and fun to listen too! This audio pulled me in from the first word spoken. The narrators, Zachary Webber and Megan Tusing did an amazing job on the characters. Megan seriously brought Emma to life for me! As my first Webber book, I'm kicking myself for not knowing his narrations were so enjoyable!! He is able to do different male characters justice. I was worried it would be too similar and I'd get lost but that wasn't the case! I loved it! Way to go Megan and Zachary! Superb job!

I DEVOURED this story!

4.5 STARS
I LOVED this book! I loved the uncertainty and the angst and the passion. I DEVOURED IT. A new top favorite from Kendall Ryan.
The innocent little librarian, Emma Bell, finds herself torn between Gavin and Cooper. Gavin is the mysterious stranger she has been lusting after. Once he is a stranger no more, she soon realizes that although she is irresistibly drawn to him, he is a clear danger to her heart. He also has a rather mysterious past. Some of the things he says and does are a little cold and downright shocking. Like his brother says, he's behaving like a kid who doesn't want to share his toy. Cooper, his brother, is also intrigued by Emma. Cooper is equally sexy, but has charm and manners on his side. A tug of war between the two brothers ensues, with one brother clearly pushing the other's buttons. Adding to the intensity and uncertainly of which brother she will choose is the fact that we get all three characters POV's. Just when you think you know which brother she is going to chose, something else happens which makes you doubt. While there are three players in this game, I wouldn't really say it's a love triangle. She isn't sleeping with or even kissing both brothers so if you are looking for a "safe" book, this still qualifies.

Wildly intriguing, a touch erotic and overflowing with suspense and angst. When it’s all said and done, Dirty Little Secret is going to leave you begging for more.

Loved the narrators!

Ooh what a dirty little book! It was a fresh and addicting story. The story is written from three character POV’s. Emma’s ugly past has left her needing to be desired and wanted. Cooper is the charming, witty, instantly lovable brother. Gavin is more growly and closed off but you can see the torment beneath his eyes. There’s something haunting him.

Gavin and Cooper run a large escort service along with their older brother called Forbidden Desires. Every morning Emma has been eyeing the mysterious Gavin for months and finally she makes a move. Showing up at his company she winds up agreeing to be an escort exclusively for both Gavin and Connor. She’s lusted after Gavin for so long but opening up is hard for him when he’s been guarded for so long. Connor is the complete opposite. So patient and attentive. The drama that ensues between these three is addicting and will have you fully immersed in this book. With this being part of a Duet their story and drama continues in the next book Dirty Little Promise.

The audiobook version really impressed me. I loved the narrators. They did a great job capturing the emotions and feelings of the characters. There’s only one minor thing I would have preferred to be different. The chapters switch between three point of views, two males and one female yet there’s only one male narrator doing both male point of views. I would’ve preferred there to be separate male narrators for each male point of view. Regardless of that, I thoroughly enjoyed the narrators and listening to this story. Having great narrators can make or break a book and besides the great storyline, the narrators had me sold just by their performances.

loved it

loved it, couldn't stop listening to it
I have to read the follow up asap!!!!

Story okay, female narrator is awful

Okay story, but not worth buying another book to see how it ends. The next book also has the same female narrator, so I’m out anyway. I don’t like her at all.

Gavin will have you shivering in pleasure

Would you consider the audio edition of Dirty Little Secret to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version

Who was your favorite character and why?

Gavin was by far but I do feel so bad for his brother.

What does Zachary Webber and Megan Tusing bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

they bring the characters to life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes i did but again I am a mother of 3.

Loved this so much!

Wow just wow. This story had me hooked! I listened straight through and loved every single word! Great story, amazing characters, and the voices topped it all off perfectly.

Hate a cliffhanger! So ready for the next one! Enjoyable read until the end. Leaves you needing more.

Hot for a Kingsley brother !!!

4.5 "Hot for a Kingsley brother" stars!! Wow!! Kendall Ryan totally blew me away with this HOT and VERY sexy story!! I am not new to Ms. Ryan's books but I have to say that this is hands down one of her BEST to date!

I am not usually a fan of love triangles but this one intrigued me because you could really feel the internal struggle that Emma faced - I have to admit that I was hoping she would choose Cooper on the one hand because he was the obvious PERFECT match, and yet the intense connection between Emma and Gavin was electrifying, so I also wanted her to pick him! Ugh! Decisions, decisions! And much to my dismay, we don't get an answer at the end of this book as it ends on a cliffy! Needless to say, I will be waiting with bated breath for book 2, DIRTY LITTLE PROMISE, to go to audiobook!

The narrators, Zachary Webber and Megan Tusing were amazing in this audiobook! Ms. Tusing played the sweet, librarian role perfectly. And Mr. Webber emoted beautifully as the broody Gavin and free spirited Cooper!

I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author for a honest review.

Fantastic!

Wow, this is such exciting story. I can’t wait for the next one in the series! The narrators did a great job.
