This was a gut wrenching tale of two lovers that came together under dubious circumstances and then plans go awry. This story will have you running the emotional ride and then some. Dorian and Cambria met by design and fell in love by accident. There are secrets that cannot be told and betrayals that are unexpected but cut deeply. Cambria is a complex character that was dealt a bad hand in life and did her best to overcome her circumstances and carve out her place in life. Dorian was born into a family of privilege and wealth but was still down to earth. Both needed each other but to get to their HEA, there would be some pain, some tears, some fights, and some betrayals by those closest to them.
Cambria Price is the head of a team of boosters of high fashion and when a team member puts them in danger, she quits and moves on with her life on the up and up. She believes everything is done until one fateful day and she finds herself drawn back into the world of boosting. This time there is a twist, she's not in charge and she has to become involved with someone in the process. She reconnects with people from her past and must do what she is told to protect everyone she cares about.
Dorian Alveston is the knight in shining armor that captures Cambria's heart. He is a successful lawyer with a strong work ethic and love for his family and friends. When he meets Cambria he is immediately ensnared by her and wants a relationship. What he doesn't know is that meeting her is by design but their falling in love was unplanned and pure. Their relationship goes through some serious ups and downs all while Cambria is being forced into a situation beyond her control and is at the beck and call of someone else. When the truth comes out, will their relationship survive?
There are a plethora of supporting characters and most of them are likeable and worthy but there are a few of them that are not worth bird’s turds. But they are very necessary for the tale to be told. Strap yourself in and get ready for one helluva ride!! My only drawback is that this story ends on a cliffhanger. I prefer my stories to end in one book. But this was so well written, that I was determined to finish the series and it was worth it!!
Phoenix Rayne crafted a tale of intrigue, love, despair, rejection and restoration. This is a love affair that you have to read and keep a box of tissues handy. Well done Phoenix Rayne!!
I liked this book. It was a little confusing at times, but it was an interesting idea for a book. There were lots of descriptions of huge houses and fancy, expensive clothing, which is not really my thing, but it was fun to read about.
The characters are well developed, but I didn't really connect with them. Although, I do have to say I thought Dorian was a super sweet, down to earth guy, and I liked him.
The writing was kind of choppy and didn't flow really well for me. And some of the scenes needed a little more development, but overall I liked this book.
*ARC generously given in exchange for an honest review*
Maybe it was the audiobook narrator but this book was just PAINFUL!!! It just didn't flow for me. It had way too many descriptive scenes that were unnecessary, like giving the total cost of clothing, constantly describing what EVERYONE is wearing, and the sex scenes....ugh! Clinical and cold! The characters were too stereotypical and they didn't have any chemistry that I could hear. I hate to say it but this book was just a mess!

We meet Cambria Price, who has had a hardknocks life, she is a high-end booster and really good at running the crew she has until she lets in Chain. Chain is the downfall of her boosting life especially after he and another crew member are caught. Cambria is done. She and her bestie Hayes try to start their lives over in North Little Rock. However, trouble in the form of Chain catches up with them and Midas (Hayes' cop boyfriend) recruits Cambria for a job.
Cambria is to seduce and make Midas's best friend Dorian Alveston fall in love with her. From my point of view Cambria has never been in a real relationship, so how this going to work is beyond me. Cambria's very first experience was with Chain, and it looks like he lost his mind because he was her first. You can tell in some ways Cambria is an adult woman, but she is also a young girl by some of her actions.
I don't get it. What happened, she and the girls went out; Dorian did a background check on her; the Puppet Master dropped her; she gets arrested and Chain shows up?!
I like good books and well developed characters in them, but these books right here had my head hurting like you wouldn't believe. I had to stop reading go read another book or blog story and come back.
The first book was so materialistic, who cares about the cost of the outfit and what car they were driving or walking too. Once you mentioned the type call it a car. I am a straight shooter I kept wondering what the author was calling Minnie Mouse and African trait, look call vagina a vagina and a dick a dick. I know there are men who are not black that have have big dicks just as there are black men with little dicks. What secret? I like descriptive books but this one was overkill.
Girl it's your story you rock it the way you want, but I have always been told you write to your audience. This is how I see it.
Your Secret’s Safe With Me offers a sweet romance story filled with suspense. I read this in one day, the pages kept turning and I found myself eager to learn more.
Cambria Price is the main character of the book and I found her fascinating. Having suffered a harsh childhood she turned to criminal activities to survive. Just as she is trying to make a better life for herself others try to drag her back down, whilst another tries to save her.
I really enjoyed sharing her journey. She has a fantastic relationship with her best friend Hayes and develops some great new relationships with greatly written characters along the way.
At times I found the plot hard to find and questions popped up that were left unanswered, so I’m hoping those questions are answered in the second book.
The story had some great descriptive writing, you were never left in the dark about the surroundings or characters present. I didn’t so much enjoy being told clothing worth, however fashion was a big part of this book and I loved Cambria’s taste in clothing.
Cambria and Dorian are very hot and cold and I kind of felt like I was getting whiplash with their tempestuous relationship.
Your Secret’s Safe With Me is an enjoyable read that romance fans are sure to love.
This book was gifted in exchange for an honest review.
This was my first book from Phoenix Rayne, I can safely say it wont be the last.
This book was a great read and when you get to the end you will be desperately wanting to start book 2.
Cambria was brought up in tbe system and had a bad life, stealing high brand items with a crew and selling them online. It only takes one job that goes terribly wrong to send Cambria and Hayes her best friend heading for the hills.
The two girls deside its time to go straight until Cambria is given a job whether she wants it or not, the choice isn't hers.... its time to get the crew up and running again.
Theres alot of twists throughout this story that will have you guessing all sorts.
Cambria has to make Dorian fall in love with her, this may seem simple even for cambria shes a very beautiful young woman exactly the type of woman Dorian goes for, but what if real feelings come into play for her too ? Could she get her happily ever after? Eben with lots of secrets. It doesn't help she has someone pulling her strings, they have her over a barrel.
I don't want to say anymore for fear of spoiling it for people.
I enjoyed reading Your Secret's Are Safe With Me and can't wait for part 2. Phoenix Rayne always pens something that leave you wanting more. Not wanting to give to much of the story away, I want to know what Midas was in to. Even though he was part of The Society, he still had grudge ways. I loved how Wales wanted to be in Cambria's life. But I also understood Cambria's hesitation. Dorian was definitely one to write home about but that mother of his could use a good beat down. I wonder what made Chain talk about their dealings with strangers & I also think that he is behind this new adventure of theirs but only time will tell.
Cambria Price never fit in. She was raised in the system. After a heist goes bad, Cambria and Hayes, her best friend decide to go straight. Then Cambria is asked to do another job. She needs to hook up with her old crew and pull a few more heists. But there are conditions, Dorian must fall for her. And he does. He falls hard for Cambria. In the process of building a future with Dorian obstacle arise. Can Cambria over come them? What about Dorian? Or will her past come back to haunt her? Tearing them apart.
Complex story with suspense and some very hot scenes
I felt so sorry for Cambria Price, she's the main character, this story has you in suspense and in turmoil, I liked the book but did not like the cliff hanger. The other main character is Dorian Alveston he's character description seems to good to be true but still intriguing. Then there is the villain of the story. His mother Mrs. Zahra Alveston she is a batch in the story. I must say I could not put the book down so it's well worth reading with very emotional moments. Glad I've purchased the next instalment of this book as I have to find out if Cambria gets her HEA, I'm routing for her!!
Not a bad story, I just didn't expect it to leave off like that, A story full of mystery and secrets as Cambria hides some big secrets , Dorian is trying to navigate his first experience with LOVE. I found the story interesting and wanted to figure out where these characters would end up, so I was Slightly frustrated that right as it gets you NEEDING to know more, you're left at: To be continued......... Oh well, Im sure I'll finish the story when written, and my only real complaint would be: Too many typos.
Theft, sex, best friends, falling in love, the job and the danger are what make this book a great read! Cambria never asks for anything and never begs anyone for help! She depends on herself and get the job done! Until she falls in love with her one desire and job! But the lies turn into more than just that and the one woman who she can't stand is standing in her way! Things get complicated and the one person who is at the beginning is the one who shows up in the end! A great read and I can't wait for #2 on!
Awesome another awesome novel from Phoenix Rayne....
Your Secret's Safe with me grab me from the first page and did not let me go until the last page and then it totally did not let me go it left me wanting more and more.... The story was well developed as well as the characters. I feel in love with Dorian and I could feel the love in his heart and the pain he felt in some scenes... I cannot wait to read part 2 to see what's next.....
It was far too long. A lot of the fluff needed to be skimmed down. More time discussing fights than building the plot or individual characters. A lot of fashion discussed in the beginning and then it totally disappears. Needs re-editing. Cliffhanger with no happily ever after.
I received this as an ARC for an honest review. So honestly....... I read all three books in 36 hours. (Don't. Judge. Me.) I will not give ANYTHING away in this review but she did an awesome job with the story telling, plot and lead characters. The last book had a few errors but over all great read. Funny, exhilarating, emotional and action packed!!! Kudos!!!
Let me just Dorian omg he is such a sweet guy. He could be my boo lol. Cambria she is sweet girl, I hope she get it right!! Now Dorian mom now she can get the business with me baby!! She makes you wanna beat her down for real!! Lol I will be waiting on part 2
This was a good read. Cambria really ran a tight ship with her crew. I thought she & Dorian were ok together but I liked Chains. Detailed storyline and content kept me interested throughout. I Though the ending was surprising, I was glad it turned out the way it did. Looking forward to part 2.
