 Thank you Forever and Always PR for the gifted audiobook review copy. All thoughts are my own.

You all already know I’m a huge fan of QB Tyler, and I read The Worst Kept Secret as an e-book when it first came out. As I reread the story as an audiobook, I was mesmerized by how well Maggie Thompson and Dane Anderson narrated Avery and Theo’s POVs. I remembered why I loved it so much - there’s definitely really good spice and it’s a high heat story, but I also was rooting for Avery and Theo, the unlikely and forbidden pairing. Each character understands the stakes are high – Avery is Theo’s son’s best friend after all – but their chemistry is off the charts and their relationship is more than just the “thrill of the chase.” If you are a fan of forbidden romance, you need to be reading QB Tyler and I highly recommend The Worst Kept Secret.

QB Tyler does spice like no one else so in that regard this book gave me everything I wanted. The romance itself was fine - Theo and Avery won't be one of my favorite couples from this author but they're not my least favorite either.

Wowza, this is hot!

The Worst Kept Secret is a naughty bit of fun! Forbidden fruit is always so sweet and apparently these two can't control their "sweet tooth."

She's his son's best friend. His son used to be in love with her. He might still be. She's only had eyes for his dad. Crushing on your best friend's dad doesn't usually go this well...but it certainly is HOT!!!

I didn't want this to end bc it kinda felt like my emotional support book of the month lol
I'm a whore for bfd, dbf... so it was no surprise that I ate it up; and sorry but this felt like a big Joel Miller fic?! Theo was aghjlakdsj (giggling blushing kicking my feet) and the only reason why this isn't a full 5 stars (LITTLE SPOILER AHEAD!!) is because I really REALLY wanted to get her dad's reaction!

STOP. This is my first QB Tyler book and if the others are even half as hot as this one I’ve been missing out!! The forbidden aspect had me biting my nails until there was nothing left to bite anymore and I loved that these two were so down for each other! Will definitely be reading more by this author!! 

The narrators for this book were great too! I will say that the male narrator can probably improve a bit on his 🔥 times, but other than that I loved every part of it!
