Dirty Little Secret (Forbidden Desires #1) by Kendall Ryan Review

I finished Dirty Little Secret by Kendall Ryan this morning. It was really good! 

4 Stars! 

Thanks to NetGalley for this arc. Dirty Little Secret is a contemporary and the first of an ADULT duology! 

I was reading this for the blue cover challenge of the Mermaid VS Dragons competition, which the mermaids are currently winning (YAAAAY)!!! 

Dirty Little Secret has a pretty basic plot where a girl, Emma, meets a guy, Gavin, and she falls for him. How does he feel for her, though? Does he think she's just a fling or something more?

There are a few speed bumps along the way for both Emma and Gavin, like Emma's ex boyfriend and Gavin's past coming into the story. Also Gavin's brother, Cooper fancies Emma too. Do Emma and Gavin end up together or does one of the speed bumps corrupt their romance. You'll have to read to find out...

I don't want to put any quotes because the plot is really simple and it would spoil the story if I did, I think. 

What did I like about Dirty Little Secret? 

I liked how the story focused around Emma and the two guys vying for her attention. There weren't lots of secondary characters. I was fine with this. 

I liked how the love triangle didn't overtake the story. It's there but I really didn't find it annoying. 

I liked how this story wasn't all about the sex. It's there but it's not the central plot line.

What didn't I like about Dirty Little Secret? 

I didn't like how slow the story was at the beginning. It seemed to take a long time for it to get going.

I didn't so much like that the events that happened were quite everyday. There weren't any surprises.  

I enjoyed Dirty Little Secret. I wish it had been slightly longer with more events but maybe book 2 will make up for that. I look forward to reading the conclusion soon! 
Do you guys/girls prefer more fleshed out reviews like my previous ones lately or ones like this that Leave a little mystery to the story?

Look for my next review soon...

American Royals (#1 American Royals) by Katharine McGee review

Hey ForeverBookers,   I’ve just finished American Royals by Katherine McGee and I LOVED it! If you love scandal and complicated love stories in a contemporary setting, then you will love it as well! Think a royal version of Gossip Girl and you have this book in a nutshell. American Royals follows six characters, all of the new adult age range that come together to create a story of intrigue and romance. There isn’t high action or really a plot outside of the romance which was fine with me as I really enjoy stories just focused on the romance. I appreciated how “American Royals” only focused on the six different characters. There weren’t loads of personalities to get to know, and they all followed the same pattern as they’re all from or have grown up around a certain standing in society. This made the characters easy to follow and understand. It is a character led story, without as I said, much plot.  What there is of a plot of American Royals is taken up with the ascension of ...

The Pumpkin Spice Cafe (Dream Harbor #1) by Laurie Gilmore Review

Hey ForeverBookers, How are you all today? I hope you’re well!  A few days ago, I finished “The Pumpkin Spice Café” by Laurie Gilmore and I really enjoyed it. This review is a little late because I’ve been busy! Anyway, the book was cosy and cute! It didn’t really have any spoopy parts to it, like I thought it might as it’s set around Halloween, although there is a costume contest, which I found funny.  I read “The Pumpkin Spice Café” for Reading Rivalry - As Long As Your Mine - there’s a central romance in “The Pumpkin Spice Café,” which I had a few issues with which go into below. 3 stars! “The Pumpkin Spice Café” tells the story of Jeanie, a twenty-eight year old young woman who moves into her aunty Dot’s Pumpkin Spice Café to look after it while her aunt goes on a trip to the Caribbean. She gets a little more than she bargained for while at this café, like a mystery to solve as well as a hunky, sexy farmer, Logan, and a couple of best friends. I found the myste...
