Dirty Little Secret by L.K. Farlow

5.0

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.
