Dirty Little Secret

De: Kendall Ryan

Narrado por: Zachary Webber, Megan Tusing

Gavin Kingsley burst into my life in a sharp and unexpected twist of fate. You know his type - arrogant, dangerously handsome and impossible to ignore.

Something dark within him calls to the shadows inside me. I long for the kind of heart-wrenching passion I've only read about, and his tragic past reads like one of my favorite literary classics. Raw. Visceral. Captivating. Together, we're a perfect mess.

The deeper I fall into his world, the more I crave him like a drug - he pushes every boundary I have and challenges everything I thought I wanted. I want to unlock his heart. I want his dirty secrets.

But in the end, will he be the blade that cuts me...or the bond that makes my life complete?

Love forbidden romances!!

I adore books about quite librarians with a naughtier side to them. Emma just hasn’t found her naughty side quite yet as she just left a physically abusive relationship. So here she is, this quite, beautiful woman who wants to help find herself again. She totally obsesses over this guy at a coffee shop and as chance finally works out for her, she gets his business card and now, the stalking kicks off! OK, ok… not exactly stalking but close anyway. I was really torn here… do we go for Gavin? Gavin the CEO of a very exclusive escort service. Or Cooper, Cooper the sexy and sweet man? Tough call for a woman with no options one minute and then she’s oozing sex the next minute!

I really liked Emma! She’s quite, she’s no risk taker, and she barely mustered the courage to leave an abusive relationship. So now she finds herself seduced by Gavin and Cooper! AND with another job as their exclusive escort… can you imagine?

So here is where I faltered a bit. I really expected some super naughty business going down now! But it kind of petered out. I think it’s the name mostly, Dirty Little Secret, you think you’re just getting that. It fell a bit short for me. I love Kendall Ryan’s writing. Her characterization building. Even the chemistry was there. Not exactly what I come to expect from a Kendall Ryan book.

So I've read this book and enjoyed it but audio is always so different and fun to listen too! This audio pulled me in from the first word spoken. The narrators, Zachary Webber and Megan Tusing did an amazing job on the characters. Megan seriously brought Emma to life for me! As my first Webber book, I'm kicking myself for not knowing his narrations were so enjoyable!! He is able to do different male characters justice. I was worried it would be too similar and I'd get lost but that wasn't the case! I loved it! Way to go Megan and Zachary! Superb job!

I DEVOURED this story!

4.5 STARS
I LOVED this book! I loved the uncertainty and the angst and the passion. I DEVOURED IT. A new top favorite from Kendall Ryan.
The innocent little librarian, Emma Bell, finds herself torn between Gavin and Cooper. Gavin is the mysterious stranger she has been lusting after. Once he is a stranger no more, she soon realizes that although she is irresistibly drawn to him, he is a clear danger to her heart. He also has a rather mysterious past. Some of the things he says and does are a little cold and downright shocking. Like his brother says, he's behaving like a kid who doesn't want to share his toy. Cooper, his brother, is also intrigued by Emma. Cooper is equally sexy, but has charm and manners on his side. A tug of war between the two brothers ensues, with one brother clearly pushing the other's buttons. Adding to the intensity and uncertainly of which brother she will choose is the fact that we get all three characters POV's. Just when you think you know which brother she is going to chose, something else happens which makes you doubt. While there are three players in this game, I wouldn't really say it's a love triangle. She isn't sleeping with or even kissing both brothers so if you are looking for a "safe" book, this still qualifies.

Wildly intriguing, a touch erotic and overflowing with suspense and angst. When it’s all said and done, Dirty Little Secret is going to leave you begging for more.

Story okay, female narrator is awful

Okay story, but not worth buying another book to see how it ends. The next book also has the same female narrator, so I’m out anyway. I don’t like her at all.

loved it

loved it, couldn't stop listening to it
I have to read the follow up asap!!!!

Loved the narrators!

Ooh what a dirty little book! It was a fresh and addicting story. The story is written from three character POV’s. Emma’s ugly past has left her needing to be desired and wanted. Cooper is the charming, witty, instantly lovable brother. Gavin is more growly and closed off but you can see the torment beneath his eyes. There’s something haunting him.

Gavin and Cooper run a large escort service along with their older brother called Forbidden Desires. Every morning Emma has been eyeing the mysterious Gavin for months and finally she makes a move. Showing up at his company she winds up agreeing to be an escort exclusively for both Gavin and Connor. She’s lusted after Gavin for so long but opening up is hard for him when he’s been guarded for so long. Connor is the complete opposite. So patient and attentive. The drama that ensues between these three is addicting and will have you fully immersed in this book. With this being part of a Duet their story and drama continues in the next book Dirty Little Promise.

The audiobook version really impressed me. I loved the narrators. They did a great job capturing the emotions and feelings of the characters. There’s only one minor thing I would have preferred to be different. The chapters switch between three point of views, two males and one female yet there’s only one male narrator doing both male point of views. I would’ve preferred there to be separate male narrators for each male point of view. Regardless of that, I thoroughly enjoyed the narrators and listening to this story. Having great narrators can make or break a book and besides the great storyline, the narrators had me sold just by their performances.
