Talk about Sizzle!

There are three stories included in this book but what makes it unique is that the main character in the second and third stories appeared in the first. Sexy characters with enough humor to make you laugh out loud. I couldn't put it down but was disappointed when I finished it. I hope there will be more books written like this one. I'm hooked!

4 hot stories.

This is the 1st of the secrets anthologies i've read & I have all of them up to number 9. Although short they are a very exciting read. Like most anthologies you are not going to enjoy all of the stories, but in this case I did. Though saying that the order in which I enjoyed the most is: The proposal by Ivy Landon, The gift by Jeanie LeGendre & A lady's quest by Bonnie Hamre, the same & The spinner's dream by Alice Gaines. A great book & i'm looking forward to reading the rest.

Secrets made me blush! and keep right on reading...

Wow! I was tracking down Bonnie Hamre's works and fell in love with the Secrets anthologies. They are provocative, heat-provoking fantasies and I enjoyed them all, but I rooted for the duke of Sutherland who wants Antonia, and he wants her now. I laughed at the idea of meeting as antagonists by night and as masked lovers during the afternoon... hot hot hot! Or am I giving too much away?

A wonderfully stimulating, romantic and sensual read.

This book was exactly what I was looking for. Sensual and imaginative, the author's characters had me 'there' with them, my heart beating and my breath coming fast, as I became enveloped in the story. Never tawdry or cheap, this hot romance left me craving more. The settings of different time periods and places, made it even more interesting. I can't wait to read Volume 2.
