This boxed set includes all four books in the steamy and heart-melting SECRET DREAMS series.
SECRET WORDS When Jasmine Allen meets Kane Summers in the unlikeliest of places, she’s bowled over by her strong attraction for him. But Jasmine has a secret career she isn't comfortable sharing with the hunky guy who’s sweeping her off her feet. Having been betrayed by an ex, she didn’t want to be in a position where she could be humiliated again because of her work.
Kane Summers has a protective side that immediately takes over when he bumps into an injured Jasmine Allen. With their instant chemistry hitting him in the chest, he finds himself wanting to protect her in more ways than one. But Kane's life is complicated, and he isn't totally free to act on his feelings.
They’re fighting a losing battle to stay away from each other. But the work that Jasmine loves stands in the way of Kane’s success. And with certain people wanting nothing more than to keep them apart, how can they find their way past secrets to nurture a love that, if given the chance, could last a lifetime?
SECRET DESIGNS Ari Mitchell is thrilled when a friend asks her to design her wedding dress—Ari’s first ever order. But there’s a drawback. Ari now has no way of avoiding Dylan Summers, her friend’s future brother-in-law—and the guy she can’t stop thinking about after their unexpected one-night stand. With circumstances throwing her in Dylan’s path, how can she forget the man who makes it clear he doesn’t do relationships?
Dylan Summers is determined never to be betrayed and lied to by another woman again. That’s why he’s given up on relationships. With one-night stands working perfectly well for him, there’s no reason to change his ways. He’s tempted to have a few more hot nights with Ari Mitchell, though. But he’s fighting hard, because he’s not sure why Ari wants him.
Their mutual attraction is simply too strong to ignore. But how can Ari find a future with a man who avoids commitment? And how can Dylan open up to the woman who can heal his heart, when he fears her motives for being with him?
SECRET MOVES When Kristen McCann choreographs her friend’s bridal party wedding dance, she fulfils a desire to showcase her talents for a job she’d love to do fulltime. But the wedding brings up another longing not as easily quenched. She’s keen to have a short fling after a disastrous relationship, and Trey Andrews, the groom’s hunky friend, catches her eye. Should she listen to her buddies who encourage her to set her sights elsewhere?
When Trey Andrews learns that the beautiful bridesmaid at his friend's wedding considered him, then scratched him out, as a possible one-night stand, he just has to change her mind. As a dyed-in-the-wool bachelor, someone as attractive and fun-intentioned as Kris McCann is perfect for him. And even though he loathes dancing, he agrees to be Kris’s student to get what he wants.
Kris has a bad habit of falling for playboys, and Trey's past is enough to put him off relationships forever. How can they give themselves a chance when painful experiences hold them back from listening to their hearts?
SECRET TASTES Samantha Lane wants to leave her father's accounting firm and move to another state to establish a catering business. But she doesn't want to break her parents' hearts. When her cousin suggests to tell them that a man is behind her decision, she finds the perfect excuse for her hopelessly romantic folks.
Adam Craig doesn't mind playing the role of Sam's fake boyfriend. She's a friend in need and he's a helpful guy.
Miranda P. Charles writes swoonworthy, stirring, and steamy contemporary romance novels with oh-so-sweet heroes and strong heroines.
She prefers to spend her time in front of her laptop, putting into words the love stories that play in her head. Don't get her started with reading a great book, though, because she tends to not put it down until she gets to the last page even if she loses sleep.
She does have a life outside of books. Mostly, that consists of bonding with family and friends or going on romantic trips with her awesome husband.
She lives in the beautiful city of Sydney, Australia.
I only made it to chapter 2 of the 2nd book. I started this series in 2013. Got this bundle. 12 years later I'm trying to read it and have discovered I've Outgrown this type of dialogue. It's very 'Youthful'. Not For Me. Dnf in 2nd chapter of the 2nd book.
I love almost everything Miranda has written. This is the exception. My major problem with this book is that it has a messy relationship timeline. He is still with his fiancé at the time they get together and while he makes moves towards breakup pre-them getting together the timeline is too messy for my comfort and it just leaves me feeling completely sick so I want to love this and I can’t .
Secret designs 4.5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
I have such a soft spot for this book. I remember spending the day reading it when it first came out and loving it. It’s not the best writing or most original plot but it is lovely and fluffy and brings back lovely memories for me.
Secret moves 4.25 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
This is a nice fantasy, the playboy changes for ✨her✨because she’s different. It’s cute and it’s a nice thought in a fun series. I liked the side character levels of engagement. I need something like this for me.
Secret tastes 3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I wanted to love this finale but it just felt like neither of them could commit. Sam kept deferring things until she knew her Dad’s test results, Adam couldn’t give up contact with his ex that wanted him back. They kept putting themselves in situations that would hurt the other but it was wrapped up too quick and convenient. It’s fine but not a great ending.
I didn't love the first story but the other were ok I however love the characters in all the book's ,the stories were predictable and in some of the stories it didn't flow but over all good effort,the reason I gave three stars is because ever though the story was predictable I liked it for the most parts.
The storylines had a lot of promise for all four of the books which is why I gave it three stars. I did find the dialogue between characters immature and lacking.
It was interesting of a read but not overly great.
Loved this box set full of love, hate,family all the stories interact with each other so keeps you reading to see what's going on. This is a definite read for all you romance readers xx
This series has 4 books all of which were amazing. 4 girlfriends trying to find love and achieve their dreams. although all 4 were great stories, my favorite was Sam and Adam's story because they started out as friends.
As a bundle, this deserves five stars. Each book individually is well written with strong and believable characters. They are all friends and relatives so all of the characters come back into each story.
The characters and story lines for each book transitioned smoother than other series books that I have read. Love is definitely in the air. Well written.
Sweet and steamy romances. All can be read as a standalone, each with a HEA. Fulll of assumtions, misunderstandings and failure to communicate... eventual lessons learned.
