Rate this book
Forbidden desire. Dangerous secrets. One explosive case that will change everything.

In the glittering world of Miami's elite law firms, brilliant paralegal Nora Jackson lives by one rule - never trust those in power. But when she's hired to work alongside brooding billionaire attorney Declan Fitzgerald, Nora finds her resolve slipping. Despite his guarded nature and her deep-seated mistrust, she can't deny the electric attraction that crackles between them.

As Nora and Declan dive into an explosive legal case that threatens to unravel Declan's dark secrets, the forbidden flames of desire ignite. Long nights spent unraveling the truth soon lead to smoldering glances, charged touches, and a passion that refuses to be denied. But when Nora discovers her father's wrongful imprisonment may be linked to the very case they're working on, she's faced with an impossible choice - her principles or her heart's desire.

In a world where justice and love hang precariously in the balance, can Nora and Declan find a way to trust each other before it's too late? Brimming with drama, suspense, and combustible chemistry, Unraveling Secrets is a scorching tale of forbidden romance where the stakes are high and the only thing more dangerous than chasing the truth is surrendering to desire.

This interracial romance book features a billionaire with a beautiful black woman.

Loved it!! ❤️

Nash and Emery knew each other from when they were kids. But they hadn't seen each other in years. Until the day Nash walked into the company where Emery worked to take it over. When they saw each other, there was an immediate attraction. While dealing with corporate hackers and handling deals, Emery and Nash try to navigate their growing feelings for each other. Can they keep their hands and their feelings to themselves, or will they give in to temptation?

This book was a fun read. I enjoyed how Nash and Emery fought against their cravings for each other until they couldn't. It was sexy, sweet, and beautiful all at the same time. And the epilogue was awesome!! This author never disappoints. I would highly recommend this book. It's a fun, fast-paced read. You won't be disappointed.

The forebidden

I liked this story. There was mystery and deep attraction. There were several times this story seemed repetitive in descriptions of conflict. Still a good quick read. It is an office romance that does cross that line society draws due to power dynamics. Not once did it come across as a power play. Two people who work together and find a deep connection after personal heartache.

redo

It has “good bones” but it seems rushed.. it needs proper editing.. some lines were repeated.. her manager told her Declan wanted her on the case, but not only did she introduce her to him using the wrong last name, she did it in a way that let the readers know that wasn’t case.. there were couple of times when I had to go back few pages, thinking I missed something but no the scene wasn’t ended properly.. please fix and rerelease

Ugh. A wasted opportunity

Continuation between chapters lacking. At the end of one chapter, he walks down the hall to the woman's office, and the next scene, he is sipping whiskey in his office. Five plots are happening in one story. There is too much going on in this book without cohesion. Lack of character development. Boring love scenes.

Rushed

Declan could have been an excellent read. It started off pretty good but then I couldn't quite follow the situations. How could his exwife get ,ore money and his divorce was finalized. Why did he feel guilty about his prior marriage🤷🏾‍♀️. It was quite a lot of sex. It distracted the reader from the plot/storyline. Finally the story didn't flow well.

Disappointed with this one

The writing was like groundhog Day with the regurgitating of word and plots left behind. This one of the series must've gone without proofreading too. Very disappointed with this one!

Disappointed

I couldn't even finish this book. From the name swap in the beginning there were too many inconsistencies. With this series, I came to accept the rushed nature but this one was just too much. Moreover, the repetition of the same adjectives were just amateurish.

Declan

This started out as a good story with relatable characters
But there were breaks in the storyline and names misspelled and misplaced
There were loose ends that did not allow for the story to flow
It needed to be edited before publishing

horrible

This had no flow. The author was jumping all over the place. The main female character’s last named changed from Jamison to Jackson. It was just a horrible read.

This story seems rushed, there's so much going on and it left me with too much unanswered stuff. The characters are likeable but there just isn't enough foundation to fill in the blanks.

Save Your Time For A Worthwhile BWWM Romance!

There's no indication that this is an interracial romance except in the title of the book and at the end of the blurb. Nash Prescott is the ruthless billionaire CEO owner. Emery Thompson is a business analyst at his company. He was described as handsome with dark hair and piercing blue eyes. No description of her is given. They knew each other as kids but hadn't seen each other in years.

There's a lot of things that makes no sense. Even though Emery has worked at the company for years, it seems as if she didn't know about him until he walked in one day and saw her. He knew who she was. The book was full of confusion,mistakes and repeated scenes.

Naturally, they were drawn to each other but she fought against it. She didn't trust him because of his past unethical business practices. How did she know? As usual, she gave in an for they fell in love. After a huge disagreement about his actions when it was discovered that he was about to lose an important account, he realized his actions were causing him to lose Emery. He apologized with a surprise, elaborate dinner. She forgave him. They promised to do better, especially Nash.

The book swiftly ended followed by an Epilogue that showed their HEA five years later.
