Secret Kisses

The Sterling Brothers, Book 3

I don’t give a damn what people say about me. I’m successful and confident—one of San Diego’s youngest CEOs.

But when my womanizer rep costs me a major business deal, I’ve got a problem.

One of my brothers suggests a fake girlfriend. Ridiculous. Then I spot the perfect opportunity. At a bar, I overhear a stunning blonde getting utterly humiliated by her ex—who casually informs her he dumped her to marry someone else. What an idiot.

She looks like she needs rescuing. So, I sit at their table and kiss her like I’ve done it a million times. After the jerk bails, I make her a deal: be my fake date for one business dinner.

Phoebe agrees.

It should’ve been simple, but the dinner turns into a weekend at a beach house. One bedroom. Too much wine. One unforgettable night. The next morning, she tries to pretend it didn’t happen.

Phoebe is nothing like the women I usually date. She’s hardworking, has a sharp sense of humor, and she’s the most selfless person I’ve met. That’s why I want more.

I just have to prove that there’s more to me than she thinks. I’m close to my family. I spoil my nephew. I’m ready to change. Phoebe is still hurting and wants to play it safe. But I won’t give up. Because this fake relationship is starting to feel very real.

Griffin and Phoebe

5 ⭐ 3 🌶️ 5 🎧

I love these brothers so dang much. Griffin was everything I loved about the reformed playboy trope and Phoebe was so sweet and perfect for him. The spice was amazing and the storyline was so much fun, I absolutely loved this one.

I really enjoyed the investor plot and how it ended. I feel like these usually end differently and it was nice to see how Layla handled the consequences and fallout of their actions. I also freaking loved the family aspect, both of their parents were incredible and I just adore Griffin's siblings and in laws. The ending was super cute to boot and has me so excited for what's next in the Sterling family.

The audio was fantastic. Emma Wilder and Stephen Dexter are two of my favorites and they did such a wonderful job with these characters. I loved this listen. Thank you so much to Must Love Audio for the advanced copy!

Lots of laughs & fun!

Griffin and Phoebe

Charming, entertaining, sweet and endearing romance. Griffin and Phoebe's journey may have started out as an arrangement but soon these two developed a beautifully deep bond that neither of them expected but each of them deserved. I enjoyed going on this adorable adventure with them.

This is very good!!

I absolutely love these books. Every single one of them is well written, about a small town with families that make you want to know more about every one!

Also love these narrators! They did a great job with all the characters!!
