Ruthless. Cunning. Gorgeous. Killers.

They are the Kings of Bolten, an elite academy I have no business being in. My desire to remain invisible is dashed when I find myself bound to one of their enemies.

Now, there’s no escape.

With me in the crosshairs in a war between Kings and Lords at Bolten, will I be another victim or will the Kings spare me on the condition I belong to them?

One thing is certain. I have a few dirty little secrets. Maybe I’m not the good girl everyone thought.

Maybe I’m meant to be queen. Maybe… I’m meant to rule.

Dirty Little Secrets is a mature mafia academy romance with three sinful Kings of Bolten. Please check out the foreword.

Dirty Little Secrets

So, idk how to put into words how much I enjoyed this audiobook. It had a bit of everything you'd want in a book. Checked all my book boxes. Loved getting to know B and the Kings and hearing the narrators bring their voices to life. They did a phenomenal job! This was such a rollercoaster of a ride, and I'm so ready to see how the story continues.

Amazing, dark, bully, romance academy, RH

I love a good dark, bully, academy RH and this one was fan-freaking-tastic!!! All aspects of this book by KG Reuss were amazing, but in this case the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The story, dialogue, writing and narration created an experience that had me in a chokehold from chapter one. There was a flow to this story that gave you just enough reprise between the intense moments to breathe, but never fully let you go. On top of a story that left me satisfied but still wanting more, the cliffhanger has me salivating for book 2. The ending really is a doozy. The narration for this book was immaculate and so well done, from the narrator selection to the performances. This was my first book narrated by Blair Thatcher and she was the embodiment of Bianca. Joe as Dominic was a terrific performance. This was also my first book narrated by Jameson Adams, not sure how that is possible, but I’m ready for more. Then there is Liam who has always done an impeccable job, and is narrating another RH alongside Devon Ryder who became a new favorite this year.

Perfect Casting!!

I absolutely loved this series to begin with but the casting for this audio book was chefs kiss!! I loved that each character had their own narrator and how unhinged they made Hail sound. Beautifully done

this is just the begining !!1

let me tell you the cast was perfect. This book was already a super introduction with the Bolton crew. The audio pulled all their traits perfectly. Joe really brought out my irritation with Dom from this book even more than reading it. Ant as fallon made me swoon harder. Vin and Lev could not have been cast better by Devnon and Jameson. Cant wait for the next book they have me hooked. Bianca done by Blair was pulling all her moments so amazingly ...I am non patiently waiting for book 2 lol

Dirty Little Secrets

Holy sh*t is this a cliffhanger! My heart was pounding in the last few minutes and I’m craving book two!
This audiobook was amazing and the cast is chefs kiss perfection!
