Secret Devotion

De: Reana Malori

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A love so pure, it’s lasted more than twenty years. Tanner Scott and Chantell Warren fought to keep their love alive, even while hiding their relationship from the world around them. The love they felt for each other grew into something undeniable, even if no one else knew. After so many secrets and lies, their relationship has begun to fray. The bonds are being tested, stretched, and torn. Long-held secrets are bubbling up to the surface, raising ugly doubts and difficult questions about the strength of their love. Tanner loved Chantell more than words could say. He would gladly tell the world, shouting it from the rooftops, if only his father hadn’t threatened to cut him out of his inheritance. He’d allowed greed, and his own fear, to force him into doing something shameful. Chantell would give everything she had to be at Tanner’s side. If only her parents weren’t so disappointed in her life choices, especially her acceptance of being hidden away. No woman should be placed in this situation. How can Tanner and Chantell survive a lifetime together, when they’re unable to see their way past the outside world threatening to tear them apart? *Contemporary Romance | BWWM Interracial | Novella | HEA*

Good read

It was a good read. I like the fact that it was in regards to them finally getting apart. It would’ve been nice if it was longer.

Cute short story

A really cute short story. I thought the virtual voice was going to be bad but it was actually really good. It was cute and right to the point. No dragging it out or unnecessary conflicts.

The determination the couple had to remain together.

love the story but I do not like the virtual voice, prefer the real person narration.

Left a bad taste in my mouth

For once, the virtual voice didn't do a bad job. Thankfully, the book didn't have any grunts and moans that needed to be emoted. The virtual voices usually butchers erotic scenes when they have to read through those.
I was put off at how Tanner and Chantell lived together for eight years in secret in an attempt for Tanner to wait for his inheritance from his father (who opposes the idea of Tanner being with Chantell). It was only until Chantell gets knocked up that she wakes up and sees that she is coming off as a "bed wench" and decides to confront Tanner. Chantell and Tanner is a nurse and a lawyer, none of this is necessary!! The father's reason for his predjudice made the book even more obnoxious.
