Our Little Secret

A Secrets Novel, Book 3

De: Q.B. Tyler

Narrado por: Connor Crais, Monique Ryerson

Three months ago, I had the best night of my life at my friend’s wedding.

The man was confident, smooth, gorgeous as sin.

We had a connection that I had never felt with anyone.

Or so I thought, because the next morning, he was gone before I woke up with a note that led me to believe he was not interested in a repeat.

Feeling rejected and confused, I managed to put him out of my head.

Until now, on my first day of my new job.

Because the man responsible for the best night of my life?

...Is my married boss.

And he hasn’t stopped thinking about me either.

*This book is the third in the Secrets series and can be listened to as a stand-alone.

Age Gap

Deep love despite all odds - distance and time didn’t matter ❤️❤️ and Connor’s voice 🔥🔥 so crazy good!!

Age gap workplace .. say less 😉

What is better than a one night stand, then you end up at his workplace and find out he is married! and there is a 12 year age gap…
I really enjoyed this story between Marissa and Chris! Yes he was cheating on his wife but she was horrible…
This was so spicy and I loved it! Daddy kink 🫠

Good level of spice but I don’t like the narrating style

Good level of spice but I don’t like the narrating style. I don’t like it when the male narrator speaks like a female or vice versa.

Q.B. Tyler Delivers Again!🔥🔥🔥

Reviewing both the book and the audiobook, and Miss Q.B.!! What do you put in your stories?! I could not stop this one once I started it!! Chris and Marissa are melt your Kindle/AirPods HOT!!! And MESSSSSSYYYYY, I loved it! No one does forbidden/tab** quite like Q.B. Tyler, she is the queen!

For the audio, bless it! Connor Crais & Monique Ryerson were incredible as Chris and Marissa! Connor always has a way of pulling me into any audio he is doing, he is so expressive and just fantastic! Monique was phenomenal as Marissa! I fell in love with her voice and how she brought Marissa to life!

Chris and Marissa are the definition of a mess, I mean he is married, BUT once you get into the story & see his wife’s character & priorities, you'll get it. She is unpleasant, I'll leave it at that haha!

The chemistry between Chris and Marissa is ELECTRIC! That instant connection, "this is different", feelings for the other right away type of chemistry! Their journey to be together is a rollercoaster, a hot, steamy, messy, emotional, angsty rollercoaster, but it is worth the ride! I love them so much!!!

PS: The time jump in there about had my heart breaking!

This is 🫦🫦

Super spicy 🌶️ for real and all the story on the end comes together to perfection love 💕 Chris & Marissa relationship such a different start but all was worth it

It's no secret: Chris & Marissa are crazy HOT!!

This was my first Q.B. Tyler book and boy, was it HOT & SUUUUUPER SPICY!!

Narrators were Monique Ryerson (also new to me) and my fav, CONNOR CRAIS! In fact, he is the only reason I bought the book. Without him, this one wouldn't have been in my orbit! IF YOU ARE A FAN OF MR. CRAIS' WORK, THIS IS A MUST LISTEN!! His voice ... that wonderfully alluring voice w/ all of its GROWLY GOODNESS (yes, Daddy!) performing Chris & Marissa's sexy story is WOW!! Just Wow!!

As for the story ... Chris' marriage is clearly v. dysfunctional & has been for awhile. I didn't love the cheating, but it was more understandable given the situation. Chris said it took him a long time (w/ help from a therapist) to actually figure out that Holly (wife) didn't love him -- just his money! And he didn't file for divorce sooner because he hadn't reached his "breaking point". That is, until he realized how happy he could be after being with Marissa. The rest of the story took place over the course of a few years. I did like the way the last chapter ended and the epilogue was sweet.

The audio was in dual narration except for text msgs (duet). It did take me a bit to get used to Monique's voice, but after a few chapters, I liked her. The acting by both Monique and Connor was great. And overall, I really enjoyed it! (... My poor melted headphones ... not so much ... haha!)

Amazing

QB has out done herself in this book!! Chris and Marissa story was beautiful put together! For it being an age gap it was really amazing!!

The narrators did a good job playing the characters and it was my first time listening to these narrators!! I would definitely recommend this book!!

I kept needing more!

“Our Little Secret” by Q.B. Tyler is a steamy and emotionally charged addition to the Secrets Novel series. The story centers around Marissa and Chris, whose one-night stand at a wedding turns into a complicated and forbidden romance when Marissa discovers that Chris is not only her new boss but also married. Tyler masterfully navigates the complexities of their relationship, exploring themes of desire, guilt, and personal growth.

The characters are well-developed, with Marissa portrayed as a strong and confident heroine who doesn’t easily succumb to Chris’s charms. Chris, on the other hand, is depicted as a man struggling with his own flaws and the consequences of his actions. Their chemistry is undeniable, and Tyler’s writing captures the intensity and passion of their connection from the very beginning. The narrative is filled with tension and emotional depth, making it a compelling read.

One of the standout aspects of “Our Little Secret” is Tyler’s ability to handle the taboo elements of the story with sensitivity and nuance. The book doesn’t shy away from the messiness of the characters’ lives, and it offers a realistic portrayal of the challenges they face. While the story includes elements of infidelity, it also delves into the characters’ journeys toward self-improvement and understanding what truly matters in their lives. Overall, “Our Little Secret” is a gripping and thought-provoking romance that will keep readers hooked until the very last page.

Connor Crais

Connor MFING Crais! That’s it! That’s the review.

Ugh he was so perfect for Chris. He has altered my brain and tickled something in my head that I didn’t know about.

Ugh perfection!

Forbidden & full of steam 🥵

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book took me by surprise. After hearing so much about this one, especially the audio performances, I dove head first and it did not disappoint. Yes, this is very much taboo & forbidden (*married man*) but this is such a complex story that takes a deeper look at love, commitment, betrayal, and happiness.

Chris & Marissa have the biggest uphill battles. After sleeping with Marissa at a mutual friend's wedding, he finds himself now her boss. They both haven't stopped thinking about their night but Marissa unwittingly slept with a married man. She has to come to terms with her situation. Chris decides it's time to leave his wife and marriage and starts this affair with Marissa under that he will be divorced but challenges arise, especially with Marissa working for him and the emotional toll it takes on both of them to have them starting & stopping their relationship over many years.

I really enjoyed the emotional layers for both Chris & Marissa. Their love blurs the lines of what is right and wrong. As their relationship progresses, it's clear that they both struggle with wanting to keep their connection but also wanting what is best for Marissa. She has the most to lose and Chris eventually is forced to see that.

There are things with Marissa's ease into the situation I wish were different, as well as the pacing towards the end as the story ties up how I'd hoped but wish we had a little more insight into some of the moments the timelines skip over.

From their first meeting, Chris & Marissa's chemistry and the tension between them is incredible. This story is filled with spice from the beginning and it adds to their connection in the best ways. It's hot, kinky, and everything I love in a workplace romance (hello office desk and I will never forget that taxi scene 🥵).

The performances by Connor Crais & Monique Ryerson is great. I do wish it was duet, I think that would've elevated the story a bit but they were both excellent.

I am now hooked on this world and will be going back to read the first two books in this interconnected series.
