The Secrets Between Us

by Ivy Green

When Taylor is in unexpected need of an apartment, Will and Simon have her back.

Right?

Shit. Will only accepted because he thought Taylor was a guy… and Simon is pissed.

Well, that’s okay. They quickly become friends… maybe too quickly.

Wait a minute, are they making out?

Um… guys?

Oh, thank God. Simon’s here to help.

SIMON? YOU TOO?

Taylor is a bartender, living with two military men who’ve finally become used to a female presence in their home.

Simon is still… broody… but they’re used to each other nonetheless. Will is the ray of sunshine he always has been, teasing Taylor for her makeup products and hair in the drain.

Simon, being the domineering male he is, puts a no-touching rule in place in order to not ruin the dynamic.

No. Touching. Taylor.

But why does that make Will want to touch her more…

Yeah, that rule doesn’t last long.

Fantastic novella

I saw this suggested online and thought with it being a novella from a new author I wanted to give it a chance and it was a fantastic decision. There was a lot of character interactions and story build up before any NSFW content, which isn’t always the case with shorter books, there was a good balance between story and steam. The characters are realist in the situations and reactions it was easy to see the friendship and chemistry building.

Perfect short story filled with smutty goodness 😍

[Ashley · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a short story full of smutty goodness. Taylor finds herself with two roommates Will and Simon. With Taylor's secrets and a close living arrangement things won't stay hidden for long. This story was fun and a quick read. I do wish there had been more to the story but who knows maybe it was written to live on in your mind.

What's a girl to do when her new roommates don't realize she is a she? Win them both over, of course. This sweet, low agnst, high spice novella is a fun little read... great little pallete cleanser. Wouldn't mind reading a few hundred more pages about this trio!!

Short, sweet, spicy. 🌶️
Just wish it had been longer.
Can’t wait to see what else Ivy writes!

[Natasha Lee · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think it was a really good quick page turner with some good spice. I loved the balance between spice and story. Pretty steamy.

Hot stuff

The Secrets Between Us is a quick and easy read! The spice 🌶🌶🌶 MFM. Not one to read around others (unless that's your thing...no shame😬) because it's quite dirty 😜.

Seen someone post a little snippet of this book and I just had to read it, what a naughty read it was 🫣🥵💦

[Lily · Rating 5 out of 5]

Listen, I mostly prefer sapphic smut because I am sapphic but I took a chance on this book and holy hello was it worth it!! 😍

[Taylor Coffin · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars- For being a Novella it was such a quick easy read!!! Loved Taylor and Will. Wish we got a lot more information about Simon but as a whole was a super good quick read.

[Lexi Vanover · Rating 5 out of 5]

A good, quick read! Read in about an hour and a half or so. I’m new to smut but this one was really good! I like the characters and I think the author did a good job developing the characters in a short time! They were relatable and believable as real people. I liked the build to the “exciting smut” part and how that wasn’t thrown right in from the beginning. Would recommend (to anyone that’s not my mother🤣).

quick must read

I loved this! It’s a situation we have all dreamed of! Highly recommended. Sexy, teasing, questionable. Everything good in the world! Lucky girl!

Several things influenced my rating on this one.
-The plot holes.
-The miniscule length.
- And, to a lesser extent, the typos.
Just...pretty please, I'm begging anyone who uses Createspace/Amazon to make a book...just, run your manuscript through spell check with Grammar Check turned ON first before uploading. I promise it will catch things like this (don't worry, this isn't a spoiler, it's just the very first page - from the Content Warning (*sigh*): "-Some sexual abuse insinuated (also very brief and NOT out MMC's)". Just a single example - I'm not going to go through and edit the whole book here - "out" should be an "our" and I promise the little blue wavy line will show that so that you can correct it before it gets published.

Hiring a content editor, line editor, and a developmental editor would fix all these complaints. But as it is it kinda reads like an outline quickly drafted in the middle of the night.

It's got promise, but it's just not there.

[Sabrina Mordini · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fun and steamy short story about a girl falling for both of her hot roommates. It’s packed with smutty content and delivers all the feelings you’d want from a romance like this.

While the story moves quickly, the characters still have depth, and the plot doesn’t feel rushed, despite unfolding over a short period.

Definitely recommended if you’re looking for something short and sweet—but don’t mind a generous dose of explicit content!

[ChaoticBookoholic · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really good one. This turned out better than I initially thought it would. I loved the story. There were alot of unexpected situations, and what they explained at the end made alot of sense. The fact that they cared that much and it was more to them than just fooling around made this so much better. They didn't want her to be alone or getting attacked by other guys. They're protective. I wish this was a whole series. It's less than 100 pages. It's still worth the ride, though!

[Jaimie Deverell · Rating 1 out of 5]

I don’t think I expected this to be such a short story. I think if it was longer and actually explained the back story and went into more depths about the relationships or maybe went into any story line would have been good. If you want to just read porn though this is your book. The writing was also cringe, like YA writing but then when it gets to a sex scene it was adult porn
lol

[Anna Stewart · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really good little smutty quick read. Some grammatical errors but nothing major. If you’re looking for something to occupy your time in between reads, this is it! Good story, nothing very intriguing but still a good read.

[Noelle Sparks · Rating 2 out of 5]

This feels like a Wattpad story, and not in a good way. The characters lacked depth making it hard to get invested. An easy read if you’re looking for a short, spicy book, I guess.

[Arianna Munoz]

Ummmmm. What did I just read???

[Dais · Rating 2 out of 5]

can i just say…no?

[Kanesha · Rating 3 out of 5]

a lot spicier than I thought it would be! it was good,

[Max Busch · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a short little read and I enjoyed it but I felt it had so much potential to be a longer story. Everything just fell into place and it was almost too perfect.

[Maddy · Rating 2 out of 5]

Should’ve just stayed a wattpad fic, sorry 😕

[Nichole Hulsether · Rating 2 out of 5]

Just about next between 2 males and female. Would of like a plot
