About this ebook

Fans of Jodi Ellen Malpas, K. Bromberg, and Joanna Wylde will be unable to resist this sexy, deeply intimate tale of a woman running from her past, and the darkly mysterious man who sets her free.

I didn’t think answering someone else’s cellphone would change my life. But the stranger with the low, deep voice on the other end of the line tempted me, awakened my body, set me on fire. He was looking for someone else. Instead he found me.

And I found a hot, secret world where I felt alive for the first time.

His name was Dylan, and, strangely, he made me feel safe. Desired. Compelled. Every dark thing he asked me to do, I did. Without question. I longed to meet him, but we were both keeping secrets. And mine were dangerous. If I took the first step, if I got closer to Dylan—emotionally, physically—then I wouldn’t be hiding anymore. I would be exposed, with nothing left to surrender but the truth. And my truth could hurt us both.

Ratings and reviews

Molly O'Keefe is a completely new author for me, but I'm fascinated with her writing style and this fabulous story. Great character development, excellent plot, and sizzling hot chemistry between the main characters. Annie and Dylan both have secrets that they are keeping, and as some of those secrets start to unfold I found myself utterly engross in this book. Everything I Left Unsaid did not disappoint me in the slightest, well except for the cliffhanger (which I've always tried to avoid). However, I know the sequel is ready and that's awesome when it comes to cliffhanger, since the wait won't be for to long. I really loved this book. I couldn’t find myself to put it down, and I highly recommended. I received a complimentary copy from the publisher thru Net Galley for an honest review.

I have never read anything by M. O'Keefe before and didn't realize what I was missing. WOW! Annie McKay is on the run. She has spent her 24 years always being told what to do and how to do it and she has had enough. Trying to escape a bad situation, Annie finds herself in North Carolina, with little money and no job. She finds a trailer park with cheap rent and a job offer to do outside cleanup of the land. Once in her trailer she hears a phone ringing. She finds a phone in the trailer and decides to answer the caller identified as Dylan and is immediately taken by his deep voice. For some reason after talking to him Annie feels safe. He explains that this phone was used for watching her neighbor Ben and would she want to do it. She agrees. The two of them start communicating over the phone. He encourages her to be open and do more things that she has never done before. Their conversations were great! I loved the things these two did and said over the phone. I really loved how Dylan was able to get Annie to be more daring. Both of these two have secrets that they were keeping from each other but there just seemed to be something pulling them together. I really enjoyed all of the other characters in the story and how they were woven together. And when these two finally met face to face....BOOM! WOW! This story was very enjoyable to read and it does end on a huge cliffhanger. I love how these two lost souls may have found the missing piece to make them whole again. I can't wait to read the next book to hopefully read their happy ever after!

Everything I Left Unsaid by Molly O’Keefe is the first book I have read by this author but definitely won’t be the last. This is beautiful written and will grip your heart from the beginning and has lots of twist and turns that hold your interest and leaves you begging for more. I can’t wait for the next book!!! I was given and ARC from NetGalley.
