Natalie wonders if submitting to Tanner, is the way to pleasure, or the path to weakness? Will she lose herself if she gives in? Irrational fears nag at her, keeping her from revealing her intimate secret and letting go of resistance to what she wants so badly.
“Sensual urges that were so much a part of her—she was unable to separate from them—blossomed within the loving confines of her marriage. It made her wonder if she was different from other women, having nothing to compare her feelings to. The feeling of having a secret was uncomfortable. Still, telling it might be worse. She wasn’t ready yet.”
Intimate Secrets, 10th book in the Touched By You series, is a romantic tale that takes place in Barossa Valley, Australia.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I have loved this series since the very first book, and this latest installment does not disappoint.
The story unfolds with Tanner and Natalie still in the glow of post-wedding bliss, and their relationship continues to deepen. Tanner is still struggling with urges that he isn’t sure if he can contain. Meanwhile, Natalie begins her own inner turmoil. Will she lose herself or will he think less of her if she gives Tanner what she feels he really wants / needs. She is still so quick to believe that she isn’t enough for him. Even her dear friend Cheryl can see what Natalie can’t, or won’t. I’m not sure what else Tanner can do to make her see that she is all he wants, and everything that he has will mean nothing with Natalie by his side.
We get another glimpse of Adam and Ella, as Ella asks Natalie to design her wedding dress. It seems definite that these two stories will join in a future installment.
Highly recommend this book / series / author! Can’t wait to see what happens next.
Tanner and Natalie's story seems to get better and better each book. Between the exquisite places they visit to the love story that keeps blossoming. Natalie realizes that she finally knows that she want's to be a full submissive to Tanner but she doesn't know how to talk to him about it. So she seeks advise from Cheryl since she is one of his oldest friends that Natalie know.s. Cheryl tells her to be honest and truthful with Tanner, but something is still holding her back from speaking to him......she is still on the inside timid about her new sexual desires and also she has some money issue questions that she is afraid of the answer that she thinks he will say because of her insecurities but is true Tanner form he is still he loving sweet man she fell in love with and what he tells her even made me cry......
I received this installment of the story for my true opinion and as always Emily has written a spectacular book !! Can't wait for more !!
This story continues on with Tanner and Natalie still in newly wed bliss, but Natalie is finding it ever harder to deal with the intensity of her feelings for Tanner and the sexual urges that he brings out in her, will she be enough for him? Will she lose herself if she finally lets herself go?
Tanner is equally struggling with his desire for Natalie, if he fully lets go will he lose her when she sees him at his most bare?
I am really enjoying this series,It is fast paced and gets right down to it, which lets be honest it's what we all want to read! The intensity of love and emotion is fantastic, can't say I've been disappointed with one book in the series so far, must read for anyone that loves NA romance novels.
This series gets hotter and hotter. I love Natalie and Tanner together, it is always an adventure with them. In this book you see Natalie wanting to be submissive to Tanner and not sure how to ask or if she will lose herself. I love how Tanner is there for her and gives her space to work it out.You will have to read to see what happens. It is always so amazing seeing the different places that they go, I feel like I am there with them. Sex always gets hotter with Natalie and Tanner never a dull moment. I love how Ella and Adam from Captivated was in this book again, I hope they will also be in the next. Emily Jane Trent never disappoints me, I can always count on an amazing story.
Tender, loving, and domineering Tanner you never knew what you were going to get but you knew you wanted more and you couldn't help but fall more in love with him and completely submit yourself to him. A fact Natalie didnt realize she needed as old insecurities in her came to surface. I'm so happy to a see them continue to grow as a couple and break through every insecurity and doubt the other has, The strength they give the other especially when that person doesn't even know they need it continues to leave me in awe. A love most wish or even dream they could have I hope they continue to fight for that love.
The story continues about Natalie and Tanner and again Emily doesn't disappoint. Another hot and steamy read following the marriage of Natalie and Tanner. The love they share shows no bounds but Natalie is still struggling with her sexual desires, she's ashamed to admit them to her husband. Natalie thinks that Tanner may be hiding something and it makes Natalie even more insecure. Do they fully trust each other, only time can tell. Another great continuation, can't wait until the next one.
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! Such a romantic and intimate love story! I love the chemistry between Tanner and Natalie! The romance and love between them is so special. Only emily can tell this story. It grabs you at the beginning and keeps you captivated to the very end and yet leaves you wanting more! It's truly a fantastic love story of the 21st century !
This review is meant for installments #4 through #12.
Our dominant billionaire Tanner continues to amaze and enrapture Natalie. Being so innocent, Tanner is taking charge of her sex education into the dark corners of passion.
These installments give us very hot sexy scenes plus plot and character development showing the changes this passionate romance has on both our main characters. Owning her own sexuality is difficult for Natalie. She has grown from an innocent virgin, into Tanner's goddess of kink. In order for her to accept her desires, she has had to come to believe that what she is feeling is not a deviant desire where she can loose her sense of self. Tanner's patience and understanding is the catalyst to enabling Natalie to come to terms with reality. Our author has done a great job of developing these characters to the point you as the reader will feel deeply empathetic to their feelings and handling of the obstacles that arise.
Tanner's jealousy is forever an issue. Whether because he is so controlling or because he feels insecure, his reactions are meteoric if any man looks at Natalie or he perceives any interest on her part toward a male person.
It impressed me how Natalie's character reacts to Tanner's emotions. Although she might be upset with him, she never really looses control of her temper and always reacts with deep love and understanding. Somehow the love she feels for him helps her deal with his temper and remain loving and forgiving. I think this is why once he has calmed down, Tanner always promises to do better and his love grows for her. Now if she would only concede to not dressing so alluring when they go out, he might be able to deal with his jealousy better.
This was a great series to read. It is erotica at its best! Full of love, passion and sexual encounters that are each uniquely orchestrated and described. Top that with a plot line that draws you in and you have a winner!
I was happy that we got to read about them getting back to normal stuff, her business, her mother, and his business. Of course the sex was as good as ever but the sex toward the end was really good. I could not understand why Natalie was struggling so much, why was she talking in her sleep, but I was happy that finally toward the end she let it all out and it made a huge difference in their relationship. I was worried for about a minute when Natalie uncovered something but I was thrilled that the author did not prolong this and had her talk it over with Tanner. I loved what Tanner was doing and can't wait until this next part of their life begins. I am curious of what is going to happen in the next book.
Natalie and Tanner's relationship continues to deepen. Natalie really grows in this installment as she works to admit her most intimate secrets and fears to Tanner as she embraces her submissive side. At the same time, Tanner reconnects with his Dom side as he accepts Natalie's submissiveness. I love how this truly strengthens their bond. At the same time we get to explore Australia with them during this time. Tanner reveals another secret to Natalie that takes her totally by surprise but is a welcome revelation for her to truly understand the depth of Tanner's love.
This is so hot and sexy. Natalie finally believes that what she wants and needs is Tanner's dominance and love. She sees a new account and questions it. Tanner tells her that it is for their children when the time is right. Emily Jane Trent is such a good author and needs to be read.
This book takes Tanner and Natalie down under... With all that implies!!! An amazing love and steamy story that just's gets hotter with some amazing traveling and a great revelation.
