About this ebook

Her brother’s best friend is hotter than sin and she’s about to show up at his luxury apartment. After a lifetime of good behavior, will Connor Dow be able to resist the ultimate temptation on his doorstep?

In New York, the city that never sleeps, Gabrielle “Brie” Lawson can’t get any shut-eye. Not as a struggling actress and definitely not with her longtime crush, Connor, now so close to her bedroom. The devastating, gorgeous club owner has always been off-limits to her. But given that he’s letting her stay with him, that means…well, he might be open to reworking certain sexual boundaries.

With a little private time, Brie is determined to seduce him, cooking him romantic meals and prancing around in lacy lingerie. He shouldn’t expect a creative beauty to be hemmed in by virtue—or clothing. So it doesn’t take long for Connor to trade some late hours at the office for sultry nights with Brie. He seems tailor-made for her in every way. From his well-ordered life to messing up the sheets, there’s no one else. But would he risk losing his best friend—and his business—for a chance at true love?

Take control. Feel the rush. Explore your fantasies—Harlequin DARE publishes sexy romances featuring powerful alpha males and bold, fearless heroines exploring their deepest fantasies.

Ratings and reviews

What to do when your brother’s best friend is a major hottie who you just happen to have a crush on and you need a place to stay, you show up at his luxury apartment with all of your stuff. That’s how Gabrielle “Brie” Lawson and Connor Dow begin their laugh out loud, smexy, and imaginative story, Dirty Secrets by Regina Kyle. Brie is an aspiring actress and currently working on a Netflix show. Connor co-owns one of the top New York clubs with Brie’s brother. Their schedules don’t exactly mesh, but Brie is determined to find a way for the two of them to take part in some horizontal limbo and cross the bro code line. It doesn’t take long for Connor to stop staying late at the office so he can come home and spend time with Brie; willing to risk losing his best friend for a chance at true love. Brie and Connor fit together like puzzle pieces. She is the yin to his yang. Take about chemistry and magnetism, WOW, off the charts. Ms. Kyle wrote a laugh-out-loud, funny, sexy, and amazing story that is not to be missed. She provided a tale that sizzled with their magnetism, scorch the sheets chemistry, witty banter, and strong characters kept me flipping the pages of this fun and fast-paced contemporary romance. I totally enjoyed and highly recommend Dirty Secrets to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Brie is tired of being a 3rd wheel. While she appreciates her brother letting her stay with him and his fiancé while she gets back on her feet, the PDA is a little much. Exhausted, Brie decides to move out. She shows up on the doorstep of her brother’s best friend and business partner. She knows she’s playing with fire as she has a HUGE crush on Conner, but doesn’t feel as though she has a choice. She’s broke and struggling to find acting jobs. If she gets the job she’s studying/practicing for, she’ll be able to afford a place of her own. Conner is the co-owner of one of the most successful night clubs in town. He’s the quiet, nerdy type that would rather stay in the background, while Brie’s brother is the “front guy”. He’s just come off of a bad breakup and isn’t looking for anything serious. When he hears a knock on the door....his greatest temptation is standing there with pleading eyes. He knows he shouldn’t say “yes” to Brie moving in, but he also doesn’t want his best friend to be mad that he turned his sister away in her time of need. He just hopes he can keep his hands to himself... Woohoo! What a story! I loved Conner and Brie together. They were the perfect mixture of Alpha male, sweetness, kindness, and supportiveness. Brie was there for Conner when he didn’t even know he needed it. She took up for him and defended him. Conner supported Brie in her dreams to become a successful actress—even when he would rather be at home. The chemistry was off the charts!!! I also loved how Brie’s brother and his fiancé were making bets on their relationship. Wonderful characters! I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

This is a really great brothers best friend story and it is Conner and Brie's story. Conner and Brie are totally opposite in every way but when they got together the sparks flew and there chemistry was so hot between them that you could feel it sizzling of the pages of the book. These characters blended so well together and I really loved the storyline. This is the first book that I have read by Regina Kyle but definitely not the last as it was so well written and definitely worth reading. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
