A Novel Deception #2
Sei tutto il mio cuore
Nel mio letto c'è un miliardario sexy e sarcastico, e ha un anello al dito.
Com'è successo? Ah già. L'anno scorso ho scoperto che il mio insopportabile capo era segretamente un autore di bollenti romanzi rosa, e io la sua ignara musa. Questo genere di cose incanta facilmente una ragazza, soprattutto se è un po' svitata. Per fortuna io sono un'amante della normalità.
Prossima fermata, un felice matrimonio! Cosa potrebbe mai andare storto? Non ho affatto sentimenti ambivalenti sull'uomo che per cinque anni mi ha reso la vita un inferno. E Adrian non ha mica accumulato una lunga lista di nemici nella sua scalata al potere. E decisamente non siamo affatto troppo testardi per mettere da parte l'orgoglio per far funzionare le cose.
Okay, forse invece è proprio così che stanno le cose. Ma alla fine, l'amore vincerà su tutto. Almeno spero.

Quattro stelle e mezzo
Tornano Adrian Risinger e la sua “morbida” Meg, alle prese con i problemi e le incomprensioni di una coppia di novelli sposi. Adrian e Meg avevano ancora qualcosa da dirci e lo fanno riprendendo da dove ci avevano lasciati.
Letteralmente da dove era finito il primo volume, infatti il libro comincia con il loro matrimonio alla Hawaii soltanto poche ore dopo la dolcissima e epica proposta di matrimonio di Adrian dopo aver affrontato un temporale monsonico in piena regola.
La nostra coppia di colombi fa questo gesto spontaneo e dopo poche ore dalla proposta li ritroviamo a firmare il contratto matrimoniale davanti a degli sconosciuti.
Tornano a casa da coppia sposata ma purtroppo la luna di miele dura poco perché fin da subito dovranno affrontare minacce e incomprensioni sia esterne che interne.
Riusciranno a superare tutto grazie alla forza del loro amore e ai loro caratteri forti e testardi.
Si tratta di un romanzo piuttosto breve, che più che un seguito è un secondo capitolo. In fondo il primo volume era conclusivo, ma devo dire che durante la lettura non ho mai pensato che questo nuovo libro fosse inutile ed evitabile.
È stato bello invece vedere questi due, che ci hanno messo un libro intero a diventare una coppia nel primo capitolo, che adesso affrontano le avversità come coppia.
Purtroppo incappano negli errori che spesso commettono molte coppie, errori basati soprattutto sulla mancanza di comunicazione.
Non so se problemi di traduzione o se fosse proprio il testo originale, ma ci sono state delle parti in cui facevo fatica a seguire il filo logico dei discorsi e dei passaggi.
Ma in definitiva mi ha convinto. Mi ha convita Meg che si rende conto di non aver superato del tutto il passato ma che non si lascia fermare da questa cosa perché il suo amore per Adrian è più forte. Mi ha convinto Adrian che si ritrova in un periodo difficile in cui non sa più cosa vuole fare della sua vita, ormai si è licenziato dall’azienda e tutti conoscono la sua vera identità di scrittore ma si sente ancora perso e indeciso per quanto riguarda la sua vita professionale. L’unico punto fermo della sua vita resta sempre Meg, ed è così dolce vedere quanto l’abbia sempre apprezzata e amata fin dall’inizio.

I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review. This is the second book in a series; it is best to read these in sequence.
Meg and Adrian are back--married this time. Adrian is a billionaire, owner of Risinger Industries, and taking a break from his CEO duties having resigned a few months back. He's also a best selling erotica author whose books were a CEO/Secretary love affair based on Adrian's own infatuation with his admin, Meg.
They had heat and clashes in book one, but resolved all of that to become Mr. and Mrs. On a whirlwind Hawaii vacation. Coming home to real life has been...stressful, however. Adrian isn't used to sharing his personal space, and spend hours upon hours writing, and ignoring Meg.
Meg is confronted by her father, from whom she had been estranged, regarding the health of her love affair/marriage, and she doesn't want to upset Adrian by discussing this advent in her life. He knows she's keeping secrets, and he's frustrated--and afraid she is getting too isolated from him.
Plus, one of Adrian's former (male) employees is suing him for harassment and wrongful termination, and insinuating that Meg is a "beard" because she's voluptuous and Adrian could clearly have a supermodel...
So, there's a lot of conflict and not a lot of communication. We get some fun flashback insight, but the sexytimes are too few--which could be said of many marriages, perhaps. This is a "growing" book where the initial connecting passions have cooled and the"getting on with life together" phase is in full effect--which is not as exciting as a subject matter, but it's still very real and approachable. I liked the way Meg and Adrian came together to work on their relationship, and how they made their lives more complete as a team. There is a clear resolution and a happy happy ending.

I totally liked how this book went back 5 years ago and told snippets of their relationship.. or shall I say animosity in their boss/employee relationship. It also told the story in the preset and how as newlyweds things are not all that blissful when you don't communicate. I wanted more of the animosity as those were much more fun to read.

Eccoci giunti al secondo capitolo di questa bella storia d’amore, leggermente differente nello stile narrativo perché, a differenza dei precedenti, questa volta il punto di vista dei due personaggi emerge alternativamente e ci permette di osservare dall’esterno lo svolgersi degli eventi. La narrazione è sempre in prima persona ma finalmente possiamo gustare anche lo scorrere dei pensieri, delle ansie e delle insicurezze di Adrian, che amo sempre di più.
I protagonisti restano due persone decise e testarde ma il sentimento che li unisce è di una dolcezza disarmante: entrambi non si capacitano di suscitare un amore così profondo nell’altro, come se percependo l’intensità di quanto portano nel cuore, avessero difficoltà nel contemplare che l’altro possa ricambiare, nel senso oggettivo di vivere la medesima realtà, divisa tra la scintilla dell’amore e della passione e i vissuti del loro passato, eredità pesanti e chiaramente ancora da elaborare.
Li ritroviamo esattamente dove li avevamo lasciati alla fine del primo libro, nel giorno delle loro nozze alle Hawaii. Emozionati e impazienti di cominciare la loro vita di coppia e, nel contempo, intimiditi dalla potenza del loro legame e delle scelte cui ha portato. Adrian ha atteso cinque anni, tra ripensamenti, incertezze e tentativi di lasciare andare l’unica donna che gli sia entrata nel cuore. Non può più aspettare, deve saperla sua. La mia adorata Meg, “morbida e formosa e voluttuosa” che qui ci appare più consapevole di sé stessa e decisamente appassionata e disinibita, mi ha colpita moltissimo, particolarmente per il fatto che riesce a mantenere la sua vivacità di spirito e la sua determinazione nella quotidianità mentre ha scoperto la piacevolezza di lasciarsi andare ed affidarsi nell’intimità, traendone un piacere tutto nuovo per lei e molto appagante. Diciamolo: Adrian è un amante notevole !
La trama già in parte svelata nella sinossi, non è particolarmente innovativa, ciò che la rende speciale sono i salti temporali, molto frequenti, nel passato dei due protagonisti che arricchiscono la narrazione con elementi importanti a definire i tratti caratteriali odierni di entrambi e ci regalano piccoli pertugi, dove il lettore curioso non può esimersi dallo sbirciare, in cui si trovano dei rimandi a episodi già avvenuti ma solo subodorati, in cui vediamo davvero nascere e consolidarsi il legame tra Meg e Adrian, non tanto per quanto riguarda la sfera sessuale quanto piuttosto l’evolversi del loro rapporto. Quel filo sottile e invisibile che lega due persone nel profondo, composto da attimi vissuti, scontri, scelte compiute, a volte contro la ragione, che strutturano le fondamenta di ogni relazione di qualità. Al di là delle tensioni di Adrian, delle incertezze di Meg e dei ritorni più o meno graditi di alcuni personaggi “scomodi” che avevamo già conosciuto, il dato che emerge più lampante è che i neo sposi devono fare i conti con la quotidianità. Imparare a viversi, concedersi una confidenza in più anche quando si pensa di aggravare l’altro o rischiare di sembrare fragili e impauriti. Assimilare il particolare che, effettivamente, il loro è un grande amore e questo può far paura ma soprattutto che loro due, insieme, sono più forti e la loro unione li rende persone migliori.
Non penso che questo libro sia superfluo, come spesso affermo quando leggo i seguiti di romanzi inizialmente autoconclusivi. Ho avuto piuttosto l’impressione che i due personaggi abbiano preso vita e spazio nella mente dell’autrice al punto da farle sentire l’esigenza di raccontarceli ancora un pochino. Alla Marchande va riconosciuto il merito di essere andata oltre lo scontato ed aver osato immergersi in un aspetto della vita di coppia un pochino difficile da romanzare. Penso che chiunque abbia vissuto una lunga relazione d’amore, sappia benissimo di cosa parlo: quel periodo di assestamento, dopo la festa e la luna di miele ma prima di essere in grado di accettare noi stessi e l’altro così com’è, e amarlo per questo. Avrebbe potuto fermarsi alla storia d’amore e probabilmente ne sarebbe venuto fuori comunque un bel racconto, ma non così intenso, non così profondo. A volte osare può sembrare folle ma in questo caso è stata la scelta vincente.
Sono sempre stata avara nel dare un giudizio alto dei libri che leggo, perché quando cerco io le recensioni su letture che mi interessano, vado sempre a guardare i voti di mezzo. Mi sembrano i più realistici. Eppure, in questo caso, e per i motivi che ho ampiamente enunciato, non posso non ribadire il mio assenso completo.
Questa serie merita, davvero.

Cela fait quelque temps que la saga My Boss me faisait de l’œil. Je suis donc ravie d’avoir pu la découvrir grâce à la masse critique babelio. Au programme : un couple tortueux, des accusations, des remises en question et un avenir incertain. Sous la plume de Melanie Marchande, Meghan et Adrian prennent vie et nous offrent une histoire sympathique sur fond d’amour et de drame.
N’ayant pas lu le premier tome, j’avais une petite appréhension sur la compréhension de ce livre. Je sais désormais pourquoi ce livre peut être lu indépendamment des autres puisqu’il ne se contente pas de suivre l’évolution de cette relation. Entre passé et présent, plusieurs bonds dans le temps nous rappellent les circonstances de leur rencontre, leur ressentiment l’un envers l’autre et le moment où les émotions ont pris le pas sur la raison. Je ne suis pas une grande fan des flashbacks, mais je reconnais que dans le cas présent ils m’ont beaucoup aidé à saisir ce qu’il s’est passé lors du précédent volume.
Concernant les personnages, je suis surtout touchée par Meghan qui malgré sa confiance en elle est bourrée de complexes. J’ai trouvé un peu trop appuyé le fait que son physique soit si souvent mis en avant, néanmoins j’ai trouvé ça cohérent par rapport à l’ensemble du texte. Adrian sous ses airs impassibles a toujours eu besoin d’une personne comme elle et c’est pour cela que leur histoire fonctionne.
Pourtant rien ne s’est fait sans mal et le couple revient de loin. Au fil des pages, la tension qui règne entre eux augmente suite aux diffamations proférées contre Adrian. Ils se déchirent, doutent, s’accusent, mais finissent par communiquer et trouver à deux des solutions.
L’épilogue offre la vue d’un avenir pour le moins surprenant et sublime leur complicité. La boucle est finalement bouclée.
J’ai trouvé ma lecture sympathique, agréable sans être vraiment prenante. Le déroulement des événements est un peu bâclé, les choses s’emballent et se résolvent un peu trop rapidement à mon goût. Toutefois, j’ai aimé les suivre dans leurs aventures.
Un troisième tome est évoqué sur Booknode, je n’ai pas d’information à ce sujet, mais ne manquerai pas de la relayer lorsqu’elle sera confirmée.

Io adoro questi due. Dal primo libro li ho amati profondamente e con questo secondo capitolo della loro storia, hanno solo rinsaldato il concetto.
La storia di Adrian e Mel può sembrare banale all'eccesso. Il capo e la segretaria. Ma loro hanno quella forza di carattere che fa sembrare un libro pieno di cliché a un autentico, fantastico, delirio letterario.
Perché tra le curve di Meg e il carattere particolare di Adrian, tra le battute allusive e le imprecazioni, tra i disguidi e le incertezze, loro due sono più veri di molte persone reali.
Loro sono una coppia che vive, aggiusta e soffre, che ride e che si diverte. Anche i problemi, sembrano reali. Insomma, questi libri sono un toccasana. Perché se c'è l'ha fatta Meg, con tutte le sue insicurezze ma soprattutto con il suo caratterino, e se c'è l'ha fatta Adrian, con il suo orgoglio titanico e il modo di merda di porsi, c'è la possono fare tutti.
Mi spiace lasciarli, spero ancora di leggere di loro in futuro, una novella o un altro libro. Continuo a sperare...
Forse non hanno più niente da dirci, e allora va bene lo stesso, lasciamoli ballare all'infinito.
Consigliato!!!

I just finished this book and it totally surprised me, I thought this would be a look into the future of these characters and even though it is, it also provides a dual POV and so many scenes from their past 5 years.
It was great, the first book was all fun and hot but this one had so much more to offer, finally we understand more about Adrian and where he comes from and his insecurities and it’s not longer a shallow story about a plus size girl in love with her bulky but so much more.
I loved these characters and even though at times I wanted to smack some sense into them like a good Latina mom I loved they learned from their past and mistakes.

My review contains spoilers and they're mostly my thoughts as I went with the book... for more, visit Punya Reviews...
Oh my word! That was quite the Adrian-Meghan fix, more than what I was expecting. Love, hot sex and drama... His Secretary: Undone, a part of A Novel Deception series, had it all and I loved every moment of it!
A Novel Deception series installments have very little connection to one another, except for the fact that one of the protagonists is a writer, who now entangled in a ‘deception’ of sort, which comes back to bite his/her a$$ in some way. Meg and Ryn (LOVE it how she calls him) might or might grace those installments with their short appearances. So you can read most of these stories as stand-alones, but for the ones that exclusively features Meg and Ryn. When I heard that Melanie wants to keep writing about this couple, I was over the moon. I’ve been waiting ever since. You should definitely start with His Secretary: Undone. There’s also a short novella in between called A Valentine for His Secretary. After that, comes His Secretary: Unveiled. In that precise order.
When we were introduced to our Hot Billionaire Boss, Adrian Risinger and his Sassy and Curvy (but harassed) Secretary, Meghan in Undone, it seemed romance was the furthest thing from her mind. It was actually the blurb that caught my attentions where there might’ve been the mention of throwing ashtray towards the a$$hole boss (every secretary’s dream that never comes true... trust me I still can’t get past that blurb without laughing, hence the mention again). Yet, things change irrevocably when Meghan and Adrian are once caught up in the heat of the moment where their mutual attraction is finally revealed. After that, the story goes to tell us how it blossomed into something real and boy, the confession of how the Hot Boss had actually been panting after his Secretary all these times!
Their banters were full of bite and sarcasm, more like foreplay than anything malicious... There was also some drama regarding Adrian’s erotica writing (oh yah, you read it correct), where he had to turn to Meghan to sort it out. Obviously, since it’s always her cleaning up his mess.
In His Secretary: Unveiled, Adrian openly admits that he’s nothing without Meghan. He never has been, he doesn’t believe he ever will be. Meghan is his world. *sighs*
This novella takes off almost right after Undone, where we find that Meg and Ryn have already been married for sometimes now. Again, have to emphasize just how much I LOVE this couple. Their banters are still full of wit and intelligence, of intensity and love. But the trust part is questioned when, 6 months into their marriage, storm clouds start rolling in. An ex-employee of Adrian’s company, a veritable scumbag (story in Undone) who was fired by him, returns to harass Adrian with false accusations. With that, some issues of their relationship (I’d say very realistically) are put to test. Will they survive this calamity together as a team or will the past hurt and confusions rule their judgments?
Honestly, I had no doubt about Meg and Adrian cruising through as the winner in love. Not because there’s supposed to be a mandatory HEA in every romance but it’s just the way they are. They are a team, have always been. I won’t go into further discussion but let me just hint on the good parts. It wasn’t even the hot sex, of which we see precious little. Not really complaining because I was engrossed in the latest dilemma.
These novellas are written from first person POV, and so far, we’ve had Meghan’s. This time, alongside Meghan’s, there was Adrian’s as well. And that was the best part for me. His love, passion and obsession over one woman were pouring through these pages. Though the world deemed her unsuitable for him because she’s overweight and ‘not the type’ his hot a$$ should be seen with, Adrian had no doubt who he wanted and why. For 5 years as his secretary, he’d made her life hell because he didn’t know how to express his feelings. Couldn’t even imagine her feeling anything other than annoyance and resentment where he’s concerned. In fact, he’s still not sure why she loves him the way she does. But Adrian loves her too, always has and can’t imagine his life without her. And he’s not ashamed confessing any of it, because that’s his Meg.
There’s also the part where Adrian’s vulnerability is palpable as he imagines this recent trouble tearing them apart at some point, and his growing fear of living without Meghan. IMO, simply nothing gets better than these heartfelt confessions. Also enjoyed the flashbacks that helped me understand their relationship over the years and just how long a way they’ve travelled to be where they are today. 4.25 stars and recommended.
Oh my word! That was quite the Adrian-Meghan fix, more than what I was expecting. Love, hot sex and drama... His Secretary: Undone, a part of A Novel Deception series, had it all and I loved every moment of it!
A Novel Deception series installments have very little connection to one another, except for the fact that one of the protagonists is a writer, who now entangled in a ‘deception’ of sort, which comes back to bite his/her a$$ in some way. Meg and Ryn (LOVE it how she calls him) might or might grace those installments with their short appearances. So you can read most of these stories as stand-alones, but for the ones that exclusively features Meg and Ryn. When I heard that Melanie wants to keep writing about this couple, I was over the moon. I’ve been waiting ever since. You should definitely start with His Secretary: Undone. There’s also a short novella in between called A Valentine for His Secretary. After that, comes His Secretary: Unveiled. In that precise order.
When we were introduced to our Hot Billionaire Boss, Adrian Risinger and his Sassy and Curvy (but harassed) Secretary, Meghan in Undone, it seemed romance was the furthest thing from her mind. It was actually the blurb that caught my attentions where there might’ve been the mention of throwing ashtray towards the a$$hole boss (every secretary’s dream that never comes true... trust me I still can’t get past that blurb without laughing, hence the mention again). Yet, things change irrevocably when Meghan and Adrian are once caught up in the heat of the moment where their mutual attraction is finally revealed. After that, the story goes to tell us how it blossomed into something real and boy, the confession of how the Hot Boss had actually been panting after his Secretary all these times!
Their banters were full of bite and sarcasm, more like foreplay than anything malicious... There was also some drama regarding Adrian’s erotica writing (oh yah, you read it correct), where he had to turn to Meghan to sort it out. Obviously, since it’s always her cleaning up his mess.
In His Secretary: Unveiled, Adrian openly admits that he’s nothing without Meghan. He never has been, he doesn’t believe he ever will be. Meghan is his world. *sighs*
This novella takes off almost right after Undone, where we find that Meg and Ryn have already been married for sometimes now. Again, have to emphasize just how much I LOVE this couple. Their banters are still full of wit and intelligence, of intensity and love. But the trust part is questioned when, 6 months into their marriage, storm clouds start rolling in. An ex-employee of Adrian’s company, a veritable scumbag (story in Undone) who was fired by him, returns to harass Adrian with false accusations. With that, some issues of their relationship (I’d say very realistically) are put to test. Will they survive this calamity together as a team or will the past hurt and confusions rule their judgments?
Honestly, I had no doubt about Meg and Adrian cruising through as the winner in love. Not because there’s supposed to be a mandatory HEA in every romance but it’s just the way they are. They are a team, have always been. I won’t go into further discussion but let me just hint on the good parts. It wasn’t even the hot sex, of which we see precious little. Not really complaining because I was engrossed in the latest dilemma.
These novellas are written from first person POV, and so far, we’ve had Meghan’s. This time, alongside Meghan’s, there was Adrian’s as well. And that was the best part for me. His love, passion and obsession over one woman were pouring through these pages. Though the world deemed her unsuitable for him because she’s overweight and ‘not the type’ his hot a$$ should be seen with, Adrian had no doubt who he wanted and why. For 5 years as his secretary, he’d made her life hell because he didn’t know how to express his feelings. Couldn’t even imagine her feeling anything other than annoyance and resentment where he’s concerned. In fact, he’s still not sure why she loves him the way she does. But Adrian loves her too, always has and can’t imagine his life without her. And he’s not ashamed confessing any of it, because that’s his Meg.
There’s also the part where Adrian’s vulnerability is palpable as he imagines this recent trouble tearing them apart at some point, and his growing fear of living without Meghan. IMO, simply nothing gets better than these heartfelt confessions. Also enjoyed the flashbacks that helped me understand their relationship over the years and just how long a way they’ve travelled to be where they are today. 4.25 stars and recommended.

Finalmente si sposano, poi l'autrice tra presente e passato ci svela come sono finiti Adrian e Meghan a lavorare insieme, veramente uno spasso, per non parlare del fatto che chi li conosceva sapeva che sarebbero finiti insieme, mentre i due interessati ne erano all'oscuro

Wonderful ending
This wrapped up everything the first book left off. Loved every minute of it and would highly recommend everyone read both books.

Didn't like this one as well as the first one. I am not a fan of the flashback and this book had a lot of them. Yes they added to the story explaining much of who Adrian and Natalie and their thought processes, but I just don't care for being bounced around the time line so much. Then there was the "meat" of the story. I found it a bit too far fetched for me.
It was well done enough for me to read to the end, but too many eye-rolls.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
After I fall in love with a couple in a book, I absolutely love reading sequels that tell me about their life together. When I saw that Melanie Marchande had written a second book to His Secretary Undone, I just had to grab it. Adrian and Meg deserved to have their story continued and I needed to know more about this intriguing couple. In His Secretary: Unveiled, Ms. Marchande gave me so much more than I even knew I needed. In addition to seeing how they navigated the sometimes difficult early days of marriage, we were also able to finally see how these two first met and what led up to their eventual love. All of this provided more laughter, drama and passion that I could have hoped for and resulted in a book that I could not put down.
His Secretary: Unveiled picks up just as Adrian and Meg are getting married. Their love jumped off the pages and reminded me why I loved this couple. The sex scenes were unbelievably hot and showcased the limitless passion these two have for each other. But being married doesn’t always mean smooth sailing and we saw Adrian and Meg trying to swim some through some very murky waters. A problem from the past rears its ugly head and how Adrian and Meg deal with this problem causes dissension in their own relationship.
Ms. Marchande did an excellent job showing how simple misunderstandings can so negatively impact a couple no matter how much they love each other. Adrian and Meg were so busy trying to protect the other from any further pain that they ended up closing each other out. The difficulties they had were so realistic and authentic that it was easy to forget that this was a fictional story. My heart hurt for both Adrian and Meg as they grappled with their insecurities and fears.
His Secretary: Unveiled also gave the reader flashbacks into Adrian and Meg’s early days and these glimpses helped me better understand both of them. Their emotions and actions made more sense now that I knew what led them to their current situation.
Ms. Marchande’s writing style added so much depth to an already compelling story. I loved how she inserted humor into the story without detracting from the drama. Real life is filled with laughter and tears and that is exactly what I experienced while reading.
Now that I’ve read two books about Adrian and Meg, I find myself obsessing about them. I think the only thing that will satisfy me at this point is another book where maybe they are having a baby. I am already thinking about creative sexual positions needed during pregnancy and how funny Adrian will be when dealing with dirty diapers. Hint, hint Ms. Marchande.

***A gifted copy was provided by the author for an honest review***
What a great follow up to Meg and Adrian’s story. We met them in “His Secretary –Undone” and this is the follow up.
In this story we pick up as Meg and Adrian getting married. They are in love , happy and Adrian is wanting to tie Meg to him so she can never leave him, The sex is so hot, the emotions so strong as in book one and they are just as intense as in book one.
They go thru a honeymoon period and then the book has flashbacks to how they really met about 5-6 years ago and how Meg was really introduced to Adrian and how Adrian sort of , well really was a TERROR and went thru secretaries. Also, we find out he is suffering from writer’s block and that they want him back at his father’s corporation to run the place but deep down he is terrified to be there because he is afraid it will suck his “soul” but he doesn’t share that with Meg.
Meanwhile, Meg is going thru something so shocking in her personal life, she is about to tell Adrian but something from their shared past comes back and drags them unknown hell. Meg is busy trying to protect Adrian and puts her personal problems on the back burner. Other things come up and before too long , their married life is suffering due to the actions of one horrible creep from their past and the twists and turns keep this a great page turner. Meg and Adrian are a personal favorite of mine and I was rooting for them all the way. Do they stick it out? Does Meg’s stupid, hateful mom make an appearance? You just have to read the book to find out? I can promise you the author has written a beautiful story about how two people who have matured and grown from book one to book two , all the while with a set of new problems and how they handled it shows real strength and OMG, the sex, the erotic , naughty sex between the characters is Phenom. I just have to point that out. So if you are looking for a great book to read , then here is one that I highly recommend. Now, we need a book 3 so we can see Meg and Adrian with a baby :-)
My Rating: 4.5 stars ****

Wow! Adrian has finally realized that Meghan is who he wants to spend the rest of his life with because when she walked through the door of his office over five years ago he knew that she was it even though he nor she wanted to admit they were soul mates they were both so busy trying not to be a couple they wasted so much time but once they came together at the book convention they couldn't keep their hands off each other when Adrian took her to Hawaii and he walked in the downpour of a hurricane to buy her an engagement ring even though everything was closed he found a pawn shop that had a beautiful antique ring that he knew Meghan would love and when he came back to the hotel soaked and proposed marriage and she accepted that was special surprise but now he has surprised her once again with a secret wedding in Hawaii and she is blown away just the two of them and he is just as blown away you can feel the happiness that they feel for each other and the honeymoon is so sweet he is everything she wanted him to be and he wanted to be everything she wanted but unfortunately they had to come home and they are quite happy but you know their life is not that simple because Mike Morgan has come back swinging B.S. (oh you remember Mike don't you the jerk who got fired for sexual harassment) well he can't get a job and Meghan's dad has moved to town and he did one smart thing but he takes up where her mother left off with Meghan and Adrian and she doesn't want to tell him what is going on because he has so much on his mind with the book and a supposed offer of a job seems that everything is hitting the fan and their upset and fighting but no one can come between them but them. This a wonderful book. I love reading Adrian's point of view in this book since we had Meghan's in the first one. I give it a 10 and recommend as a good read. I hope this is not the last for Adrian and Meg Risinger. For Adult Readers.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review
This is so hot! You will want to have the baking soda handy to put the fire out with. Wow! Melanie Marchande, you have done it again! The story of Meg and Adrian continues as they tell us more of where their relationship is headed. As they let us in on their thoughts of today, they also provide flashbacks along the way, giving us a more in depth view of what has brought them together, and where they are now.
The book is narrated by both Meg and Adrian, giving us both of their point of views.
Melanie Marchande has an extraordinary way of giving such a vibrant life to her characters. She allows us to delve into their minds and hearts, giving us the illusion that we know them inside out. Even though her books are standalones, and they are all complete, they also seem to never end, giving us a window to continue watching the characters develop and mature from one book to another.
I love her writing style, and the characters she has developed. It’s like reading the old classics (like “Little house on the prairies”), where each episode is simply a continuation of their lives, only with a very erotic twist to it, and today’s era. Love her books and this one is no exception.

Another great story about Meg and Adrian!
This story takes place after His Secretary: Undone but I’m not sure if you really have to read that first; however, I think you should. It’s a fantastic book and really helps set the scene for this one.
While this story starts where Undone ends it also goes back and forth between present day and the past. You get to know how Meg came to be Adrian’s secretary and many other details that weren’t in the first book. I really like that this story has alternating POVs so we get to hear Adrian’s thoughts.
This story gets a bit intense as Meg and Adrian each have some personal stuff going on that threatens to derail their relationship.
I love Melanie Marchande’s writing style. Her books are fast paced and funny and sexy. As far as I’m concerned she has another hit on her hands with this book.
Warning – this book does contain coarse language and adult subject matter. If liberal use of the f-word and sexy time offends you, you might want to pass it up. Though if you do, you’ll be missing out on a really great story!
I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review but I also purchased a copy because I loved it so much.

I received this book as an ARC for an honest review. If you have not read book 1 His Secretary:unveiled...read it first so you know the story that book 2 is talking about.
I love this book because it only answers so many questions i had about Meg and Adrian's background growing up that makes them what they are today. What they are the people they are, the way they are. I will warn you it goes from present day (picks up from where book 1 ends) and goes back in time to let us see these 2 characters as they are growing up.
This book is so steamy hot. The sex scenes in the book will melt your panties off. It is like they do not have a low speed they go from 0 to
200. No one is complaining in my house.
The book is not predictable for me. What i mean by that is many times I know what is going to happen in a book before it is over. That is not what happens in Melanie Marchande's books. She always gives you just enough that you think you know but you end up finding out something else.
I enjoyed this book. In fact before reading this one I re-read book one just so that it was like one big book.

**I received an ARC for this story in exchange for an honest review
This story takes place just as His Secretary: Undone ends and spans several months into Adrian and Meg's lives together. It also flashes back to their initial meeting and other significant points in their 5 year relationship. While the first book is fast and hawt, this one focuses on their relationship after the "I dos". With Adrian no longer a CEO of a company, he starts folding into his own world, basically leaving Meg to the side when they should be adjusting to being a real couple. Will they be able to work through their real problems?
Since I've come to love this author's funny stories with strong female characters, this story was on my must reads and auto-buy.
However, this one was a bit different from the ones I've read so far. I don't usually read too many stories that take place after the couple gets their HEA, but I'm glad I read this one. The author uses the spark each character has in the first book to show you how misunderstandings can really complicate things and allow them to find each other again. I can't wait for her next book.

I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I have been reading about Meg and Adrian since the beginning and I just fall more in love with them each and every time I read something about them. This book is pretty intense but it gives you an in depth look at their relationship. We read about them opening up to one another and it gives us a look at just how deeply they feel for each other. I am so impressed by Adrian in this book as he puts his love and respect for Meg on the line – even though it is scary for him and he thinks he may be left hanging. I really liked how we read the different points of view as I believe I learned more about their deep feelings for one another than ever before. I hope that we get a peek into their lives in future books/novellas . Melanie Marchande’s imaginative writing style will certainly hold some surprises, if she chooses to write them – I personally can’t wait to read it!

I received this book as a gift from Melanie. I absolutely loved this book!!! Melanie has another winner on her hands. When we first met Adrian and Meg in His Secretary: Undone, I never figured they would end up together. I am so glad they did! We get many flashbacks to that book and you probably think, I don't need to read that book. You really do need to, so you can get the entire story of Adrian and Meg. It will make you fall that much more in love with their characters. Sure, Adrian is a jerk a lot of the time, but you won't be able to dispute how much he loves Meg or her love for him. It may take years for them to finally get together, but we get to witness their wedding twice. Totally different experiences, but fabulous none the less. They go through some trying times and I had a few doubts as to them surviving as a couple. I'm so glad I was wrong. I highly recommend this book.
