Blurb:
It was supposed to be one night. Now he's obsessed.


When my one-night-stand turns into an all-time-fail, I vow not to tell anyone about the much older hottie who walked out on me mid-deed. (On my twenty-first birthday, no less.)

Too bad I bump into my almost lover at my mother’s wedding a few months later.

That's when I discover he’s none other than Reid Sebastian—my new step cousin and the billionaire son of my step-dad’s rival. Which means he’s my rival, too, obviously.

While I thought he was cruel before, he's become obsessed with torturing me. And because we're family, he's always around.

Now we're playing a brutal game that neither of us can possibly win.

But I have a secret—the more we play the more I want him. Even if it means we both lose everything.

Brutal Secret is a complete standalone forbidden, age-gap, forced proximity romance set in an intriguing world of billionaires, power, and scandal. While it is recommended to read Brutal Billionaire first for best reading experience, it isn’t necessary to thoroughly enjoy the story.

MY REVIEW


Lina is about to get rid of her pesky v-card, and the man who's helping her is sure to be an expert. Unfortunately, he's also a total ass and jets before they can do the deed. Now she's at her mom's wedding and lo and behold but her almost guy is also there. He's...wait for it...her new stepcousin!!! Yikes. And he's still an ass and now that they're realizing they have to be around each other he's even more of an ass. But also still hot. And apparently as into her as, well she is into him. But forbidden and all that means they have to keep their whatever it is a big secret because his dad and her stepdad are brothers, rival brothers. Yep talk about complicated!


Oh God but I love Lina! She's sassy, funny and awkward af but seriously adorable. Reid stood no chance of resisting her adorableness for long, and when he fell, damn did he do it in delicious, alpha fashion. Their snark and banter really set the tone for this installment of Brutal Billionaires, and it's a nice change. Yes Reid is an alphahole like the rest of his family, but he's not really of the ilk of say a Donovan Kincaid. His family? Yes definitely. But Reid is somehow less dark but equally yummy. Only someone like Lina would really be his perfect partner because she kept him on his toes and made him realize what was really important. I'm not sure if I like the Sebastians, well, most of them at least, but I love Reid and even more so Lina, who's a Sebastian even if not by blood. I'm seriously excited for Alex's story next and we'll see if he's more his brother Reid or his cousin Holt, when Brutal Arrangement releases.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
