Secretly Yours

De: Stephanie Rose

Narrado por: Connor Crais, Stella Hunter

Could you really call someone the “one who got away” if she was never yours to begin with?

In high school, Sabrina and I were “extra friends,” a nicer way of saying friends who’d hook up with each other in between relationships with no strings attached.

Too bad I ruined our arrangement by catching real feelings—feelings that terrified me enough to cut off a good friend because I was too scared I’d slip and admit I loved her.

Years later we’re reunited at our twentieth high school reunion, both fresh from brutal divorces. Determined to keep the reignited connection, we fall into an easy friendship, this time without the “extra.” Surely, at almost forty I can keep my feelings to myself. Right?

Spoiler alert: I can’t.

Especially when I volunteer to be her date at her niece’s wedding to keep her family off her back and up the ante by offering to be her fake boyfriend too.

Touching comes too easy, along with heated kisses that were supposed to only be for show. Playing pretend turns into the best night of my life, and the worst one at the same time.

Because, just like in the past, I don’t know how to be just her friend when I’ve always been secretly hers.

Secretly Yours is a 27,000 word standalone novella. It's a companion to the novel Second Times the Charm but can be enjoyed on its own.

Second Chance Magic

Caden-Man oh Man what can I say about this adorable, kind, thoughtful, big hearted hero. He is the cinnamonist smart golden retriever you'll meet.
Oh the pining. I love pinning when you can feel the almost spill it without the excessive angst. This book is it. Sabrina has become more careful as she grows up. With her story in-between their before and after, it's no wonder. Heroine you can relate to her reticence. As do you with Caden's. Readers get to see them grow into friends before acknowledging the spark. This is a fun-filled story full of swoons and sighs you'll gobble right up.

Connor Crais and Stella Hunter deliver a fantastic performance as Sabrina and Caden figure out that Childhood Friends with Benefits is really where their heart belonged all along.

Great Second Chance story!

If you love heartfelt contemporary romance with depth, warmth, and characters who stay with you long after the last page, Secretly Yours is an absolute must‑read. I adored every second of it.
The narrators are absolutely superb, bringing the story to live in the most amazing way.

Sabrina and Cade

Secretly Yours is a sweet, beautiful second chance romance. Sabrina and Caden were extra friends in high school. They haven’t seen each other in a very long time. What happens when they meet again at their reunion? Will they make a relationship work this time around? Sit back, relax and listen.
Stella Hunter was brilliant as beautiful Sabrina. Her pain, hurt, doubt, passion and love were clearly evident in her voice. Connor Crais was delightful as besotted Caden. I could feel his love for Sabrina in his voice. His sexy, sultry tone was divine. I highly recommend listening to this audiobook.
Thanks to Stephanie Rose for this audiobook.

Second Chance - Sabrina & Caden

Stella Hunter and Connor Crais - I love their work. There's never a concern that the narration will fall short with these two at the mikes.

This is a little bit of a second chance romance for Sabrina and Caden.

Their mutual best friends - Emily & Jesse - dated all through high school, so Sabrina & Caden were good friends... best friends.... or as Sabrina coined the phrase - Extra Friends. They never dated each other in HS but they always hooked up whenever they were both single.

But... Caden never told anyone how deep his feelings for Sabrina really went. And now fate seems to have thrown them back together, after their 20th reunion, both divorced and a little jaded. Caden just has to decide whether this is a risk he's willing to take.

I thought he seemed a LOT more invested than she did - which is shown to be true in the epilogue. But dragging our heels or not, they did seem to be a true love match. It's a shame neither of them was brave enough to say the words in high school
