Secret Kisses

The Sterling Brothers, Book 3

By: Layla Hagen

Narrated by: Emma Wilder, Stephen Dexter Dexter

I don’t give a damn what people say about me. I’m successful and confident—one of San Diego’s youngest CEOs.

But when my womanizer rep costs me a major business deal, I’ve got a problem.

One of my brothers suggests a fake girlfriend. Ridiculous. Then I spot the perfect opportunity. At a bar, I overhear a stunning blonde getting utterly humiliated by her ex—who casually informs her he dumped her to marry someone else. What an idiot.

She looks like she needs rescuing. So, I sit at their table and kiss her like I’ve done it a million times. After the jerk bails, I make her a deal: be my fake date for one business dinner.

Phoebe agrees.

It should’ve been simple, but the dinner turns into a weekend at a beach house. One bedroom. Too much wine. One unforgettable night. The next morning, she tries to pretend it didn’t happen.

Phoebe is nothing like the women I usually date. She’s hardworking, has a sharp sense of humor, and she’s the most selfless person I’ve met. That’s why I want more.

I just have to prove that there’s more to me than she thinks. I’m close to my family. I spoil my nephew. I’m ready to change. Phoebe is still hurting and wants to play it safe. But I won’t give up. Because this fake relationship is starting to feel very real.

Repetitive and predictable

I like that this series has interconnected characters but meeting scenes and spicy times were nearly copy paste from the first 2 books. I like that griffin and phoebe didn’t fight their chemistry.. the youngest brothers antics are over the top to the point of seeming like a caricature and not developed

Family members

Easy listening and no stresses. The story line was interesting and I love the really wealthy people who are extremely down to earth and have similar feelings and situations as “normal folks”.

Griffin and Phoebe

5 ⭐ 3 🌶️ 5 🎧

I love these brothers so dang much. Griffin was everything I loved about the reformed playboy trope and Phoebe was so sweet and perfect for him. The spice was amazing and the storyline was so much fun, I absolutely loved this one.

I really enjoyed the investor plot and how it ended. I feel like these usually end differently and it was nice to see how Layla handled the consequences and fallout of their actions. I also freaking loved the family aspect, both of their parents were incredible and I just adore Griffin's siblings and in laws. The ending was super cute to boot and has me so excited for what's next in the Sterling family.

The audio was fantastic. Emma Wilder and Stephen Dexter are two of my favorites and they did such a wonderful job with these characters. I loved this listen. Thank you so much to Must Love Audio for the advanced copy!

Griffin & Phoebe!!!❤️❤️

Out of the series, so far Griffin & Phoebe’s Romance story was my favorite! Yes, I enjoyed Chase & Hannah, and Duncan & Riley story’s as well….but this one stuck out more to me. I’m hoping that the series continues with the rest of the Sterling brothers. I’m thinking Wylie will be next in line, but I’m very interested in Knox’s romance story, cause he’s a hoot!! Shout out to the Voice actors who were the icing on the cake for this Amazing Romance Series Storyline!! Oh, how I thoroughly Enjoyed listening!!

So love all these books

These books are so amazing love them so much thank you for sharing you’re amazing stories
