“Do you want to be God’s favorite tonight?”

Taylor Williams has one goal: land her first client and finally walk away from her soul-sucking agency job. What she doesn’t plan on is meeting Brandon Dubois—an unexpectedly sweet billionaire’s son—at a party in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

Brandon is sober, complicated, and very interested in Taylor—and not afraid to make it known. Their chemistry is undeniable, and soon their connection runs far deeper than playful banter or late-night texts.

Then comes Kyle Rathbone—the viral thirst trap vampire model hired for High Five’s Halloween party—whose presence exposes secrets, shadows, and desires none of them can ignore. With sparks flying on every side, Taylor finds herself caught between two men who want her … and maybe each other too.

Sharing Shadow Secrets is a steamy, emotional MFM romance about chasing dreams, facing the past, and discovering that sometimes being “God’s favorite” means getting everything you never thought you could have.

MY REVIEW


Taylor meets Brandon at a 4th of July party and sparks are flying, but it's not the right time for them. But it certainly is later. The sparks are definitely still there, and things are moving along. Then she hires a gorgeous vampire for a Halloween party, and whew, things start really happening! Brandon and Kyle have a history that's about to get a lot more...fun? Complicated? Deep.


This is a fun addition to the High Five Novella series! Brandon and Taylor start off and their relationship evolves and I was digging it. But the real heart of the story arrives when Kyle makes his entrance. The first real scene between the 3 of them was so steamy, whew! But there are also some heavy subjects that Serena handles with a lot of care. I really felt her sensitivity in the way she wrote Brandon's backstory and the history between him and Kyle. Though this is not my favorite of this series (that honor belongs to Nicholas and Emily's story, Santa's Coming), I still really enjoyed this sweet, sexy novella. It's at turns lighthearted and emotional, with the right amount of heat, and features 3 distinct relationships that are balanced well between the 3 leads. The mental health rep is perfect, as well as the LGBTQ aspect. I do with Kyle had come into the picture a bit sooner, so they could have been a solid trio for longer, but by the end I knew their relationship was on solid ground.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
