I love forbidden romance, add best friends little sister and I’m sold.
Stella loves Samson from a really young age, he was always nice to here as a kid and didn’t mind her tagging along with him and her older brother.
Samson lost both his parents and lived in foster care that was a less than loving home.
Stella was the sunshine in his darkness. Even as a kid she had a big personality and lots of love and happiness to share.
~”Because you’re the brightest light in my life.You’re smile is enough to make the worst day bearable. You steady me, you challenge me, you center me.”~
I love that they bonded so young, it’s incredibly sweet. Their connection makes this story.
They start a secret romance when she’s a teenager, but Samson is determined to wait for the physical parts until she’s 18.
Samson screws up and break’s Stella’s trust and heart on the day they were going to tell everyone they were a couple.
It then turns into a second chance romance.
The characters are really likable, the chemistry is great.
Their story has a few obstacles, it definitely brings the angst. For Stella , there is a lot of longing and fighting the pull of her mixed feelings.
I love that it’s second chance and forbidden romance. Great combination!
They are a couple that’s easy to cheer for, I wanted Samson to earn Stella’s trust back.
The love didn’t go away, things just got complicated.
Really emotional and sweet romance.

Can you be in love with an author? Because I am. Lk Farlow makes me fall in love with her writing more and more each book. This book is another awesome book with her writing in it. Another must devour in the bag.

Samson and Stella’s story was full of angst.
Steamy, sweet—romantic at times—I was so enamoured with their attraction to each other. I could feel the disappointment, pain, lust, and love pouring from the pages.

There were times when I wanted to strangle the characters from frustration, other times I wanted to give them a fist bump for doing an ace job.

It disappeared far too quickly because it was so easy to read.
Looking forward to the next book.

Oh Samson and Stella were so well written. I've been waiting for this story and they didn't dissapoint

Stella has always had a crush on her brother’s best friend, Samson. Since the first day they met she couldn’t hold back her crush and she always saw age as a number nothing more, but Samson has always treated her sweetly yet at a distance. Samson being six years older than Stella he knows as they get older, he has to walk a fine line, but he doesn’t want her completely out of his life just at arm’s reach. They keep their pact a secret from everyone, and once Stella turns 18, they decide to pursue their feelings, then Stella is ghosted by a guilt-ridden Samson. He walked away telling himself she is better off and deserves to live her life without him, then he returns and sees he has his work cut out for him because Stella isn’t the same sweet girl he knew. He knows he is going to have to work hard to get back in her good graces, yet he keeps making mistake after mistake with her. Can he get his stuff sorted out so that he gets his chance with his girl or is the new Stella going to let him walk away with no intentions of being his dirty little secret? I absolutely loved everything about this book. I loved Samson and Stella, their ups, downs, and in between. They were made for each other, and the steam rolls off the pages. This older brother’s best friend is one of my favorites by this author just don’t tell Alden and Natalie because I loved them too. Samson is pure book boyfriend perfection with his sweet yet alpha side and Stella her tenacity and the fire she had when it came to standing up for herself and what she wanted was exactly what Samson needed to keep him focused on getting her back.

Oh my gosh Samson and Stella was so worth the wait! It's so good. Samson while some times i wanted to shake him, he still was so swoonworthy. I loved him. It was cool to see Stella’s side of the events from Emmy and Sterling's story. I loved Stella’s parents so much. Especially her dad. Orion .... boy oh boy i need his story so bad. I can't wait for him to get knocked on his butt. LOL.

I absolutely devoured this book! I 1000% loved reading this story between Samson and Stella!

This was a beautifully written brothers best friend story with so much angst and steaminess. Dirty Little Secret can also be considered a bit taboo with the time line of things. Stella and Samson were two beautiful characters that I quickly fell in love with. Every hurt and happiness they felt, I felt also. That’s how amazing LK Farlow wrote for these two. I simply just can’t say enough other than I hands down love this book, it put me in all my feels!

I definitely enjoyed this book and highly recommend it for all to read! I know I’m going to be reading more from this author, especially in this world!

What a perfect story! Stella and Samson 's story is one of a kind, I couldn't get enough !! This is my first story from L.k. Farlow and I can honestly say I will be reading more! Although this is out of the normal for what I read, I was sucked in from page one.
