Their Secret

3some action age-difference-older-man-younger-w

This book was great. This is a complicated romance for the main characters here- Gray, Mona and Mason. Gray is separated from Mona's mother and Mason is the therapist for both of them as well as a college buddy of Mason's. I want to say this has many taboo scenarios here which makes this a hot, steamy read which Cassandra Dee and Katie Ford write quite well—the mm/mf/mfm, older men, step daddy and therapist troupe. The steam level is almost melt your face off hot, that is how good the steam factor is. There is rawness yet there is a romance story to go with the steam. There is angst, heartbreak and romance that goes with the raw, hot erotic scenes. Mona was a girl who wanted it all…she wants the love of two good men, her men. Does that happen? This is one story that you do not want to pass up!

My Rating: 4.7 stars *****

I love menage romances and thoroughly enjoyed this sexy story with great characters, romance and intrigue. Mona was an 18 year old virgin whose mother had left her stepfather one week after marrying him and had been gone for 2 years without any contact. Mona still lived in the mansion with her stepfather and started having feelings for him. He decided to see a family therapist for them and went to an old college buddy. Then the fun begins. Both men want her and they have a menage. There are problems when her mom returns and she runs away and they can't find her. Three years later they find her and they all get their HEA with a couple of bonuses. I enjoy all the books from this author and can't wait for her next one.

🎉My favorite Cassandra story🎉

If you have never read a Cassandra book, this is the one to start with! I LOVE this story.

Every character in this story is wonderfully written. I fell in love with both men. This is such a hot menage, I couldn't put it down. This is a great story.

There is M\M, M\F, and M\F\M in this book. I voluntarily read an advance reader copy for my honest review.

Cassandra Dee and Katie Ford's Their Secret, like many of their works, explores how a young and naive woman subsequently finds her own sexuality and passion with her love interest. It was very steamy and despite coming into it with little expectations, I came out of it pleasantly surprised. I thoroughly enjoyed this read. As someone who doesn't read a whole lot of MM or MMF romance, I thought Cassandra and Katie did a really good job exploring that side of the field. It was strange but weirdly tasteful, if that makes sense.

Their Secret basically tells the story of Mona who happens to be Gray's stepdaughter and Mason, their therapist. There's actually a plot to this book - which was quite interesting, in my opinion. Mona's mom married Gray but quickly left him because of her "flighty nature." She considers herself a socialite and that woman definitely screams psychopath to me. I felt bad for Gray because for two years, he's been trying to get over her and denying his growing lust/feelings for Mona.

I've read a lot of Cassandra's books and was actually surprised to finally see one of her heroes refusing to give in to his passion for his supposed ward. Anyway, because he's been denying his feelings for her, they end up meeting Mason - the third person in the relationship. In the end, I thought this was quite a good read! If you're looking for something short, sexy, and taboo, then this one will be right up in your alley.

Their Secret by Casandra Dee and Katie Ford a fab four-star read. This is a MMF read and its hot and heavy and if you don’t like the genre don’t read, but of you do then jump in you won’t be disappointed. Mona is bratty but that’s also part of her charm and charm you this story does.

Mona, Mason, Gray, Roman, and Magnus. WOW. The therapist Mason, the stepfather Gray, and 18 year old Mona who is apart of their trio. Well damn I wish I was Mona but I didn’t expect the first smut scene in this book to be an M M scene where Gray isn’t attracted to men but is attracted to Mason and Mason has been wanting to suck him off since their time in college, WHAT? I was shocked because I thought Gray was a dominant alpha but turns out he can be turned into submission with Mason. Their night is spicy and my face was shocked but disgusted because I don’t really read M M romances at all and this is one of my first time reading them. I was shocked Mason wanted Mona as well. She lost her virginity to Mason but had her first climax with Gray. Their nights are spicy until their past catches up with Mona and Gray and causes drifts between all of them. Mona’s mother Kathy returns out of nowhere and that causes Mona to go into shock mode. She decides to visit Mason and he calls her a spoiled young brat and that breaks her because she loves both of these alphas and doesn’t want to let them go but she had to get away so she ran and these men where hysterical and couldn’t stop thinking about her. After 3 years they never stopped searching until they found Mona with her twins that were in different amniotic sacs and are were fathered by 2 seperate males. So they’re twins but have different fathers. She’s scared that they’re going to take her kids away from her but they don’t, instead they propose and declare their love for her and she accepts both of their proposals. Mason and Gray scenes weirded me out but also the epilogue in the limo, I didn’t know Mona was into ass play with Gray but hey whatever rocks your boat.

Story: 4/5 Mason was a dick towards her and Gray for just letting her believe he didn’t care.
SMUT: 4/5 I don’t like M M scenes but that’s my opinion. I’m not judging anyone else who’s into them, scenes that involve 2 men are not my type, if it includes a female it’s hot but it’s a huge turn off for me when it’s just 2 men.

Gray married Mona's mother was fairly new when she up and took off on them. Gray didn't know what to do about Mona so he just let her stay and they basically had no contact. Then Mona started having feeling for Gray and did things he felt were inappropriate so he took her to a family counselor. Mason was their therapist he knew Gray from when they had been in college. Both men were attracted to Mona but didn't want to do anything she didn't want. After a therapy session things heat up between Gray and Mason however they both agree that they want Mona with them too. Finding Mona out with friends one night Mason leaves an envelope with a hotel key for her at the bar. When she arrives she learns of Gray and Mason being together and things get steamy between the three of them. Just as things are starting to settle between the three of them Mona's mother comes home. Mona distraught by seeing her mom and Gray looking like their getting back together leaves to go to Mason. Mason doesn't know how to handle the situation without Gray and makes things worse. Mona takes off. The guys can't seem to locate her and everything they try leads to dead ends until a newspaper has a very revealing picture. Can the guys find Mona and convince to give them another chance?

This was an amazing story once I started I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between Mason, Gray and Mona is steaming hot. This is my new favorite read. This a must read by to amazing authors. If you haven't read anything of theirs you should do so now.

Oh NO They Didn't?
If you want a red hot read with plenty of lust, passion and steamy scenes of erotic a then you need look no further as Cassandra Dee and Katie Ford have written it for you in this HOT , fast paced read about the menage between Mona, Gray [her stepfather] and Mason [her sex therapist]. Whew - I never thought that I'd read a book with that combination but read it I did indeed do and it was fun. yes, it was stretching the imagination as the relationship between Mona and Gray was taboo to say the very least and with Mason was just inappropriate. Then add into the mix that she gets pregnant with twins and they have different fathers!! You need to get this book. But before you read it you need to do the following: make sure your fan is working and set to max cool; have a cold drink at hand; switch off your phone; shut out the lights as you're going to become involved in this intricate and red, hot steamy read with plenty of lust, passion and plenty of erotic scenes described in detail. Will there be a HEA at the end?? That's for you to find out! This is one story that you are unlikely to ever forget and the bonus material is well worth reading too - so don't forget to read and enjoy it too. Very well written by Cassandra and Katie who know how to spin a story, give it some heat and plenty of interesting characters!

Mona was awakened by the sound of Gray’s footsteps as he came home late from work. His wife had left them a week after the wedding – no note, just took off! So he threw himself into work and coming home really late. Mona and Gray hadn’t really spoken much since then, and graduation was approaching in 3 months. Mona has nowhere else to live, no job, so he’s the only family she has left to depend on. And over the time she spent there, he had often disappeared for long periods of time – so she just continued living at the mansion with the staff.

As Gray begins to come home more frequently, Mona feels more and more interest in him. She admires his alpha qualities, and how he handles his successful business. And he’s gorgeous too. Feelings are getting stronger now that she is 18. There is need for therapy here to sort things out – and now the real adventure begins.

These two authors are good writers whose books flow right along. The story line is always unusual and gets the reader’s attention right from the start. Whether you like the characters or not, you will find them memorable. I voluntarily read a review copy of this book from Booksprout and my comments reflect my honest opinion.

Another steamy read from Cassandra Dee and Katie Ford featuring two older men and the younger woman they covet that you will definitely enjoy. Mona is a young woman left in her stepfather’s home after her mother abandons her new husband and daughter the day after their marriage. After two years pass, Mona begins to discover her sexuality and has a huge crush on her stepfather, Gray, which is not helping the situation. Gray has no idea how to deal with his growing feelings towards Mona and decides to take her to Mason, his college friend who is also a licensed therapist. While participating in the sessions, the relationship between Gray and Mona begins to change and there is an added twist when Mason wants in. Due to what Mona has had to endure, she may be young in age but she is wise beyond her years and forced to grow up quicker than expected for a myriad of reasons. Having read a few books from these authors, this is one alluring taboo short that will leave the reader sated and satisfied.

It wasn't bad but it was missing something. The stepfather basically abandons a teenager in his home. She is watched by paid people. She's basically living alone. He has had several sexual relationships with the opposite sex who knew that was all it was. Because he is still married to her mother.

Then he starts to show up but she's an adult and too late. Because she has a crush on him. Because he's hot. There's no real reason or connection between the two.
Just that she act like she's in heat around him. So his mistake call his old college buddy who is a hot as hell therapist who is by the way bisexual. This hot therapist confesses he has always wanted to be with the stepfather and proceeds to seduce him. They have sex. For some time before in a theraputic session include the girl. It was a very hot experience.

It was a little trite with the internal dialogue of the characters saying "it's so wrong but I can't and don't want to stop." And I wonder if the other loves me. But it progresses to I want this in real life. But still the mother Kathy could have used a bear down. She abandoned her daughter.

I read the epub version.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Mona, Grayson and Mason: three lovers together. The book was extremely interesting as it describes Mona's first love in Greyson and consequently adding a second love in Mason. Mona being eighteen did not stop these older men from loving on her. But Mona's mother Kathy was married to Greyson and abandoned them two years back has now returned to cause upheaval in their new found love. It is interesting to read about Mona's impression of all this and get her point of view. There was also input from Mason and Greyson's POV. It was emotional relating to Mona as her young love through her eyes was sweet, honest and innocent. Then we find Mona in another town three years later without her men. She ran away after being rejected by Mason and Greyson. She has tokens of their affection with her. We find that Greyson and Mason never meant to make her run off and have been looking for her ever since. They find her and ask for her forgiveness and the story continues till we get to a HEA. A very good read.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Mona, Mason, and Gray. Gray and Mona are step father and step daughter both have feelings for the other but don't know it. Both of them feel that the feelings that they are having they shouldn't be. So Gray decides the only way they will get through this is to go to counseling. Little did he realize at the time he would be seeing his old college buddy Mason. There are things that are still unresolved between them. Can they all find what they have been looking for or will they all be losers in the end?

This book is amazing. It really shows how love can conqueror all. There are some twist and turns that I really want to tell you all about. I however don't want to ruin the book for anyone else. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

This is a very hot and steamy read. This is an MMF book and it does have some M/M, so if you don't like that, then this may not be the book for you. Mona is eighteen years old and has had a crush on her stepfather Gray. They've been living in the same house after her mother left. Things have been strained between Gray and Mona so he makes an appointment with Mason Channing. He has known Mason since college, but hasn't seen him for awhile. When Gray and Mona start therapy, things really heat up, not just between them, but also with Mason. The three have such undeniable chemistry. There were hot and steamy scenes between all three and also when it's one on one. Will they be able to make it work or will it just be too much for all of them?

Definitely hot n' steamy in the raw sexuality department. I preferred the m/m components of this book more so that the M/M/F components. I really wanted to like Mona's character but the things she was so willing to do, so quickly and without hesitation while being a virgin quite simply weren't believable. I'll be honest, when she entered the storyline, I quickly skimmed ahead. There was just something about her overall character development that lacked any depth at all. I felt like Mason and Gray's characters were much more richly defined and the two together had immense chemistry. I think I would have preferred the story much more if it focused solely on Mason and Gray and removed Mona completely from the book. Overall I would give this book 3.5 stars but I rounded up to 4 stars.

Wow. This story sounded so hot and it is. It is a romance love story and I liked it very much. It surprised me. I like the twist of taboo though! The characters are all different but together they make a good relationship. They all have needs and wants. A very hot and steamy story that is enjoyable and very well written with a nice storyline and plot. I like that the characters and how they develop.
A passionate and emotional read with twists.

It is written in multiple POV which gives the reader much more of the thoughts and feelings of the main characters. There are passion, hot scenes and lots of chemistry in this amazing story.

Wooo! Cassandra Dee and Katie Ford turn on the heat and the level of taboo on this one!! Two men, one woman, the men older, she a young virgin, a stepdad and a therapist. All of this plus male on male action. This book was beyond hot!! I seriously couldn't put it down. I am actually glad it was a shorter book cause I am not sure I could've withstood that heat for too much longer. A must read! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

The Alpha Stepfather, The curvy Stepdaughter and their Alpha therapist!!!!
Authors Cassandra Dee and Katie Ford did it again!! Their newest novel Their Secret is a panty melting book that's full of steamy and hot MMF scenes that I recommend you not read it in public.

He walked into that session a single man who's wife left him the day after their wedding and walks out with two new lovers. His curvy stepdaughter Mona that he wants more than anything and college friend Mason who is bisexual and their Therapist .

OMG, Cassandra Dee has done it again. This sexual steamy book is off the charts. The way that Gray and Mason automatically interact and have relations with each other is steamy and sexy personified. It's like they were meant to be, but Mason already knows that. Gray is loving it though. When Mona enters the picture, the steaminess and sexiness just gets hotter. She is the perfect sexual female to bond these two guys together. When things get rough when her mom comes back in the picture, she just leaves. I was so very happy to see that Gray and Mason never gave up looking for her and then to be so accepting of her surprise is so very loving. I voluntarily read an Advanced Review Copy of this book.

This book has the potential of being good and unique, but I stopped reading after Gray stated he'd been with women since Kathy had left. I am so sick of books with virgin heroines, or not, and manwhores or former manwhores. Women are supposed to be virgins, but men aren't? I would love some books with men who aren't or weren't promiscuous. Who wants to do such intimate things with someone has done them with a million other people. I don't expect characters to be monks, but I do expect them to have not been with anyone in the time frame of the book or since knowing the person they end up with. Why would I want to hear about these people with others who are their intended love interests? Why would anyone? In a romance? Gross.

If you like reading about two Alpha and a younger female
than grab this one because you will not be disappointed in the book.
Mona is Grayson stepdaughter and they have been living in the same
house together for a couple of years after Mona mother took off after she
married Grayson. Gray started having feelings for Mona so he thought going
to a family counsellor could help. This is where Mason enter the story he was
an friend of Gray's in college and he was the psychiatrist who they went to.
This is where the story starts to grab you and you will not be able to put
it down because you want to know what is going to happen.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. I’m not a prude but, this book had very explicit sex scenes. Mona’s character was hard for me to connect with, it didn’t seem believable for her to capture two wealthy Alpha men . I loved Mason and Gray’s characters. They were a hot couple. I loved the surprisingly sweet twist near the end. I love and have read many books by Cassandra and will continue to. Please don’t let my review discourage you from reading this book. It is only my opinion and Hang up. You may highly enjoy it.

Romance can be complicated, but when love is the main ingredient anything is possible. Gray, Mona and Mason don't have an easy road. Gray is separated from Mona's mother and Mason is the therapist for both of them, as well as a college buddy of Mason's. Even with all the taboo mines on the field, this book is volcanic level hot, and even in the rougher bits we know there is love underneath it all. Buckle up and take a chance on this wild story. It's taboo in theory, but I love the ending. This is a voluntary review of an advance reader copy.
