No Secrets #1

Full Disclosure

Rate this book
A former stalker boyfriend has left personal trainer Olivia St. Clair wary. Yet when a dazzling green-eyed business mogul rescues her after a hit-and-run accident, she finds herself defenseless against his chiseled body and sex-god charm.

Damien Stone. Everything about him—his tousled hair, his Mona Lisa Smile, his masculine scent—mesmerizes Olivia. His domineering presence sets off some alarm bells, and she’s shocked by her own desire. Soon enough, she finds herself a guest of his St. Louis penthouse. But rather than quench her desires, his expert touch makes her hunger grow.

Ultimately, Damien makes Olivia feel safe again. He’s even vowed to make her ex-boyfriend pay. While the couple sheds more inhibitions and secrets, Olivia’s already battered heart gets put to the ultimate test. Full disclosure always comes with inevitable consequences.

Olivia St. Clair is forced to ride her bike home from work due to car problems, when she gets hit by a car. Damien Stone witness's the accident and is the first to respond. As Damien hovers over Olivia, the second she opens her eyes he's hooked.

Damien is a take charge billionaire. He's bossy and expects everyone to do as he says and he sure isn't going to let Olivia just walk away from him. For an independent woman like Olivia, she struggles with his commands and isn't open to starting a relationship despite the sparks that fly every time they are close.

In this first book, you see Damien relentlessly pursue Olivia until she finally gives in to their mutual attraction. When she does, she meets Damien's best friend Bella. As you can probably guess, Bella's feelings for Damien are more than friendly and she's more than willing to chase Olivia off.

Now normally this would be the part I don't like in the book but Damien realizes Olivia is his other half and he will do anything to keep her in his life. He's bossy and controlling but he is also a caretaker and nurturer. He protects what's his and Olivia is his.

Full Disclosure is the first in a series and the first book Julie Olsen has published. For a first book, she hit it out of the park! I loved this book! Loved the characters, storyline and I already want to re-read it. It does have OW drama but the way Damien handles it is perfect. Book one also ends with a pretty big cliffhanger. I will be anxiously waiting for book two to publish!

I received an eARC, from NetGalley and the publisher, in exchange for an honest review.
'Full Disclosure' by Julie Olsen is book one in the "No Secrets" series. This book does end with a cliffhanger that set us up for the next part of Olivia St. Clair and Damien Stone story. This is also the first book by Ms. Olsen and I will say for me she 'hit the ball out of the park' for me. This was a great, emotional, enjoyable read! I truly cannot wait for the next book by Ms. Olsen.
Olivia first met Damien when she was riding her bike home from work because her car would not start that morning. Olivia was hit by a car and Damien was the first person there to help her. Olivia was little standoffish because she did not know Damien at the time of the accident. So she was taken back that he was being so forceful with taking over her life there at the accident. Olivia a few years back had a ex-boyfriend turn into a stalker and had hurt her. So Olivia has been standoffish when it comes to getting into a relationship again. But Damien is not giving up that he wants to see her again. But with Olivia past involvement and her always worried that the ex-boyfriend will return it is hard for Olivia to give in fully to a relationship with him. Damien too seems to be keeping his personal story to himself too. But they both seem to want to try for a relationship but it seems there is more going on with Damien that Olivia knows.
I so enjoyed this book!!!

Olivia St. Clair is a 26-year personal trainer working at a local gym in St. Louis. Damien Stone is a 30-year technologies wiz kid having invented a popular social website. Olivia is forced to ride her bike to work one morning. As Olivia navigates rush hour traffic to get home after work, she is struck by a car. When she comes to, she hears a deep voice coaxing her to open her eyes. When her eyes open, she is staring at beautiful male face. The face belongs to Damien & he begins to take control of situation as Olivia says she is not hurt. Once the paramedics give her the ok to go, Damien takes her home. Damien makes it clear he is interested in Olivia but her past prevents her from being able to let go & enjoy his attraction. She is scared & wary from a prior relationship that ended with stalking & threats. Damien fights for her attention & insists on full disclosure between them. They are driven by a deep desire for one another & work to try to keep up with the fast pace of this new relationship. When Olivia shares her secret from the past, Damien takes on the role of protector & she starts to feel safe. When Olivia finally admits her true feelings to Damien, a secret of his is shared that will shatter Olivia's heart once again.

This is an absolutely stunning book. It is Julie Olsen's debut novel & hats are off to her.... she nailed it! This is true erotic story telling at its best!!! There is a lot of scorching hot sex & is intended for mature readers. I would recommend this book to anyone liking the genre.

If you like The Fixed Trilogy you will love the beginning of Julie Olsen’s No Secrets Series. It had the same kind of feel as Fixed but, in my opinion, it was a much smoother read. I actually liked it more than Fixed and that’s saying a lot.

Damien is pure alpha and once he sets his sights on Olivia, she’s all he can see. I really enjoyed the banter between Olivia and Damien once their relationship took off. And the chemistry between these two was combustible! Even though we are kept in the shadows for a while regarding Olivia’s tragic history, it is Damien’s secrets that you just know are going to shake her world. However, his past is slowly doled out through the book while Olivia is quickly falling in love. And then it’s too late. She has fallen and Damien’s past is facing her straight on.

The writing is mature and engaging and the story flows smoothly with great dialogue. We are given only Olivia’s POV and while I would have liked to know at least a small part of what Damien is thinking, it did not take away from my enjoyment of this story. The secondary characters are all situated in such a manner that I am extremely anxious to learn more about them as well.

It does end in a cliffhanger, of which I am not a fan, but book two is already available. I will be diving into that as soon as I click save.

“Your eyes. They’re gorgeous,” I said, unable to tear my gaze away.
“That’s because they’re looking at you,” he intoned.


This is an incredible debut novel and I absolutely loved it!

Note to self: 1st book ends on a cliffhanger. Will wait to read after the 2nd book is released. Need to check if there is a long separation for MC between book 1 &2.

Olivia St Claire is forced to ride her bike to work because her car will not start. She is hit by a hit and run motorist, Damian Stone is the first to respond. After being examined by the EMC Olivia insists on going home on her own. Damian insists on accompanying her via his driver. Damian is a breathtakingly gorgeous billionaire.
Olivia is independent and has been terrorized by an ex stalker boy friend and she has trouble trusting and dating. Damian is use to having everyone listen and obey him. They bump heads often in the beginning but can't deny the attraction. They decide to work on their relationship. Damian's "best friend" Bella is having none of the growing attraction between Olivia and Damian. This is book one and ends in a cliff hanger.

Full Disclosure, Book 1 of the No Secrets Series,  Julie Olsen

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre:  Romance, Erotica
 
Wow – what a debut, a gripping, sensual and beautifully written story for a first book! Its a part one though...and I’ve a love/hate with continuation books.

Firstly what I love – the length. when so many eBooks are coming in at under 100 pages its a treat to find longer reads. They let the author really explore the characters, set complex plots and write a story that really pulls me in. Julie did all that here but then there's...
What I hate about multi part books – I lose the momentum. They always seem to stop on a cliff-hanger and Julie throws in a real doozy of one here. Then by the time the next part is out, months later – years occasionally – I’ve lost the thread, the impetus, the whole grip of the story. I can reread the last couple of chapters and pick it up, but its never as good as if I’d read it all in one go. Still, after FSoG it seems inevitable that most erotic romance reads are going to be multi part reads :-(

So we meet Olivia, works as a trainer, lives with sister and has some good close friends. Then biking to work one morning she gets hit and Damien is on the scene, picks her up and is smitten with her. She’s tough though, reserved, has things from her past that still affect her and she’s not looking for a man. Damien’s persistent though, doesn’t give up even when she’s blatantly rude to him...he just smiles and continues and eventually she agrees to one date, that leads to a heck of a lot more.
She’s been attracted right from the start but pushed it down deep, but Damien manages to get her to relax and let him in. Well, he’s gorgeous, a real hunk, clearly wealthy, though its not til later she realises just How Wealthy, and he’s just what she needs. Someone who want her, protects her and gives her confidence. He is a bit overbearing and sometimes that gives her a pause, too close to things from her past but when she tells him he does try. The sensuality between them is off the charts but he’s reserved about his past and she has issues coming from hers.
Then we get to what makes the book for me, lifts it from just another billionaire, erotic romance read – The Bad Girl, the real B itch Queen. Hah- I saw her coming, just like Olivia I could see through her...and she’s so perfectly written, shows one face to Damien and another to Olivia. I do so love a character like her in a story!
Its all going well, the romance has been built up gently and is in full swing, there’s a couple of major hiccups but they get sorted,and Olivia and Damien promise honesty to each other – then we get That Cliff-hanger. Wow – I didn’t see that coming! I think – just – that I’ve an idea how its going to pan out, the when and why, but what a place to stop...arghh.

 I’m so full of their story I need to know more, now dammit. and that's what I hate about multi part reads, here I am fully engrossed in Damien and Olivia’s story, and when I get to the next book I’ll probably have read 100-200 others and their stories get muddled. Its time consuming to go back, try to get into the mood again and never quite works for me. What I really like best is a back to back read when all parts are out.Often if its a series I want to read and I haven’t Arcs then I’ll wait til final part is out, then buy all parts and read straight through. 

 I’ve asked Julie - via goodreads- if this is a two or three part story – or more maybe. I really like to know these things at the start and though this says book one it could very well be one of those stories that are about connected characters, thus book two would be maybe her sister or her best friend's story, rather than the continuation of Damien and Olivia’s story. Readers need to know things like that before they buy.

Stars: Five, a fabulous debut read, a sensual and exciting story.

The writing style was quite stilted and formal, similar to what you'd expect from historical romance. It was very over simplified, everything was explained and nothing shown. Lots of pointless information even early on that didn’t progress the plot

This was a good read, considering it was her first book. The characters were strong and the build up was nice. It was a gradual progression. It was hot and Damien seemed invested and true to Olivia. Olivia picked up on some things about the women in his life. It's it her insecurities or are they well founded? He has secrets and Olivia has some too. This does end in a cliff hanger. I really did enjoy this read. Maybe and epilogue of Olivia before she met Damian. I really would like his POV. That for me is always hard. Good read. Well read the next in the series.

I liked Olivia and Damien. Instant love connection (which doesn’t bother me at all) and hot sex makes for a pretty good read. There’s drama and tears and laughter and sex and secrets. I have to say my biggest problem with the book is that it ends on a cliffhanger and no date for the follow up book. I hope book 2 is coming soon.

Considering it was her first book, it was pretty good. Interesting storyline, hot, steamy sex scenes. Couldn't get totally into the lead character, Damien. Seemed too good to be true plus excessively overprotective when they first started out. Kind of stalkerish. I liked Olivia's character, very believable, albeit seemed too easily swayed by Damien. Overall, it was a pretty good book but didn't keep me interested enough to read the next one. The author does have potential though.

I would never give it a star if I didn't have to. Cliffhanger? A sudden slam into a brick wall. Ironic title.

Where is the ending?

Not a lot of disclosure, considering the title, but an enjoyable read. Did not enjoy the non-ending! Not even a glimpse of their future

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read this book for free in exchange for my honest opinion.

I really liked this book! Olivia is hit by a car and the man who runs to her rescue, Damien, is her soul-mate. The instant she opens her eyes, their romance is set in motion and it is everything I wanted it to be. The characters were well developed and well written, The seemed believable and were enjoyable to read about. I hate cliff hanger endings but as they go, this was a good one.

What an amazing first book!! Can't wait to read the next book!

Full disclosure?.... I loved this book! Ever read a book where you were glad you weren't reading in public because you were smiling a goofy grin while reading it? Yes, this is that book. Olivia St. Clair and Damien Stone had me rooting for them through the misunderstandings, the drama with exes and falling in love. It is a passionate story (if you can't handle explicit hot then this may not be for you). The love scenes were AMAZING and the humor to be had in every day situations had me giggling. However, I'm not a patient person and the cliffhanger at the end has me chomping at the bit for the next in the series. I'm totally hooked!

This story had me at page one. Interesting characters, lots of steam and a good plot that keeps you guessing. I can't wait to read the next installment to see how things turn out.

That said, I didn't realize the book was going to be a series, and started to wonder toward the end how things were going to wrap up so quickly. This didn't take any of my pleasure in reading it away though. And I certainly didn't see the plot twist of this installment coming!

I highly recommend this book.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my review. It was my pleasure to read it and review the book. Also it's interesting to note this is the first novel written by this author. Well done!

This is part 1 of Olivia St. Clair and Damien Stone story and a first time author for me. Julia Olsen did an incredible job of taking two characters with strong personalities and seamlessly knitting them together! Of course it has an instant connection vibe going into the story but both characters have something that draws you in and BAM! The end!....You’re waiting for book 2. Hurry Ms. Olsen. I need more Damien please.

Damien Stone is too good to be true, he is Olivia's knight in shining armor. He makes her believe in herself and allows her to love again, but while their love story is hot and steamy, Damien's own ghosts keep him from fully committing and allowing himself the same pleasure.

I was hooked on this book and couldn't wait to read the 2nd one that I bought it immediately on Amazon. Can't wait for book #3!

I really liked this story. Julie Olsen hit this one out of the park. The characters were well developed and the story had a nice flow. If you are a fan of Shades, you will love this book. Damien and Olivia were hot together. The connection between the 2 characters just sizzles. I love an alpha that pursues the woman he wants. I can't wait to read the next installment in the series. I've just found a new favorite author.
