DNF … hot garbage. It’s ok to write the same stuff over and over if you’re good at it. Timeline and story inconsistencies took me out of this and even the hot scenes couldn’t pull me back in. And I don’t have the patience for another of her grossly desperate FMCs.

OMG, Q.B. does it again! Q.B. is the queen of forbidden / taboo and I absolutely loved this book! This book was so hot! And the spice starts early on! It’s definitely one of her best. I swear her books keep getting better and better!

You’re going to love Avery and Theo. Their chemistry was off the charts! I love the age-gap, best friend’s dad trope, and next door neighbor tropes so this was a total win in my book. Loved all the sneaking around and wait till you get to the ferris wheel scene!

Avery became best friends with Theo’s kids when they moved next door to each other. As they grew up, Theo’s son had feelings for her, but they were never reciprocated because Avery had a crush on his dad. The story starts at her college graduation party when Avery wants to act on her feelings, especially since she knows Theo feels similarly to her after events transpired between them during the past year. As their relationship develops, secrets begin to grow, and so do the difficult conversations about how their relationship will affect his son and her best friend and what price they are willing to pay. While this is happening, there are parallels with Theo’s daughter’s relationship with her older boss (I would like to see more of their story) and everyone growing to accept that. This is everything you would expect from a Q.B. Tyler book, and it has become one of my favorites of hers.

Best friend’s dad?! Yes please!! Absolutely LOVED this book! It was everything I didn’t know I needed and will forever love

Y'all know I love a good taboo book! This best friend's dad.. I ate it up. I rated 3 stars because I do feel like some of the wording seems like it was copied and paste from the first book.

I absolutely loved this book! The constant push and pull of wanting each other and but trying to resist. And once they finally give in pure fire.
The worst kept secret is how good this book is. Don’t waste time letting it set in your tbr.

OMG ! I know she says The Season of Secrets was hotter and yeah it was but not by a lot !!!! These two are fucking explosive !!! I absolutely loved their relationship, how they are with eachother! The sassiness Avery brings. I couldn’t put it down and when I had to i was thinking about what was gonna happen next! I love love age gap, the whole forbidden romance - I eat that shit right up !!!! I was so hot, this was panty wetting good

I received an arc for an honest review.

I feel like I say this every time I review one of Q.B. Tyler's books, but she is the queen of an age gap and/or forbidden romance!

This is the second book in Secrets, even though it came out before the prequel (The Season of Secrets), and blessssss Theo & Avery are insanely hot! Avery is Theo's sons best friend, & the girl next door to them. Theo is the retired NFL star as well.

The sneaking around, the knowing they shouldn't be together, the development of feelings, it's all so good! The drama with Theo's son is super frustrating, but also understandable lol.

PS: Getting more of Wes & Reagan in this one was a treat since I read Season of Secrets first!
