BLURB:

I wasn’t supposed to want him. The bronzed god lying by my pool in tight shorts that left little to the imagination. But I was only human, and with the temptation constantly within reach, it was only a matter of time before I could no longer resist.

It was wrong. I knew that.

He was my son’s age.
Hell, he was my son’s friend.

But even worse…I was his teacher.

Secrets & Lies is a standalone teacher-student MM romance from USA Today bestselling authors Brooke Blaine & Ella Frank.

REVIEW:

What a fantastic read, let me start with that.

Such a comfortable writing style, such a wonderful story that makes you feel all warm inside.

The fact that from the moment you start you know you want to keep reading because something great is happening and you feel it as a warm bath.

Funny thing is I am not a huge fan of age gap stories or teacher /student for that matter but these two authors always deliver no matter what they write down so I was pretty excited to read this and see what would happen.

And boy did things happen 🙂

There is humor, hotness and sweetness, some expected drama as you will find out while reading the story.

But what for me stands out is the determination and love, love for art and for knowing what you want and finding a way to get exactly that.

I fell head over heels in love with Ryan, his spunk and his determination to go after what he wants is absolutely stunning.

And then Ash, sweet gentle caring Ash, he warms my heart.

If I would have to mention one point of critique it’s that when I started the book I was confused because I couldn’t place the blurb and even went back to see if I had the right story. But as the story drew me in from the first moment, it is easy to overlook that part.

Their story is worth every word written up till the practically perfect epilogue at the end.

More then highly recommended is all I can say.

Brilliant writing, amazing main characters, love, kindness, drama, hotness and more all wrapped up in a brillaint package.

Wow!
