Hidden Truths
Jamie Burton, an OCD controlled, cold, openly gay English Skier, falls for the outgoing, beautiful, sexually confused Italian Moto GP bike racer, Valerio Capelli. Despite both of them ignoring their obvious attraction for each other, they can't hold back the passion they both experience when they meet. Jamie doesn't want a relationship, at the age of twenty two he's never felt anything close to love for another person, but Valerio is helping Jamie break all his rules, and for the first time Jamie begins to think about a future with the sexy Italian. Moving forward means both of the men looking back into their painful pasts. Both have hidden the truth for so long. Both can help heal the other. But to heal they have to share their secrets. Slowly Valerio begins to see Jamie lies about his past, even to himself. Does Jamie really not see the truth about his own life, or is he lying to Valerio?

About the author
Nicole Colville
48 books401 followersWelcome to the home of bittersweet M/M romances which will leave you craving more.
Nicole grew bored being a supermodel genius who worked part time for NASA, and decided to take a break from helping solve the mysteries of the universe with Stephen Hawkins to write m/m romance.
She has a loving relationship with her hubby of twenty years, and has achieved a lot in her short life considering she's only eighteen. She has fourteen dogs of all different breeds, plus twenty cats, and when she's not tending to their every need, and solving complex math problems, she loves to sew and can be often found knitting in the garden, which she maintains all by herself with her magical green fingers.
Finding time to make all of her own clothing and master the kitchen better than Gordon Ramsey, she's also a vegan domestic goddess and can often be found cooking up a storm bare foot in her kitchen.
Okay, so that's not true, especially the cooking part, though I do tend to be bare foot and I swear like Gordon does while burning my latest creation -- and I still think NASA will be getting in touch. Any day now!! *crosses fingers* I could sooo do that job because I'm so obviously awesome, but until they do...
I'm a full time author of M/M Romance and Erotica, and somehow I have several bestselling books under my belt. I've been writing for four years, and I self publish all my work under Hidden Pleasures Publishing along with my amazing team of helpers in the form my cover designer Kellie Dennis, editor Jessica McKenna, and all of my beta readers and PA's.
I'm a wife to my beloved hubby and mother to two young girls, and I do in fact have two cats who I adore, but no dog, as the hubby put his foot down. I live in Leeds in the North of England and I love it, despite the terrible weather.
My men are all seeking what everyone is, true love mixed with passion and their own happy-ever-after full of laughter and tears.

I read Hidden Pain a few days ago, book #6 in this series. It is stated as a stand alone, however, I was left intrigued enough to go back and start this series from the beginning.
I've been reading this in between other books because it's a long book, porn-ish with a fading storyline behind all sex and can be tiring at times.
It is very OTT. There is a lot of drama. There is a lot of sex. Everybody is beautiful and wealthy, and yet here I am, hooked.

This book was pretty much a porn soap opera. I was expecting a lot after reading Hidden Child and coming to know Jamie's background. What I got was a fuck-a-thon between Jamie, Scot and Valerio. I can't even call it a love triangle because I don't think that either Jamie or Valerio is capable of love. Scot was a stronger character but is being cowed by his powerful father. The cliff hanger ending left me feeling ambivalent because I honestly don't care what happens to any of the characters. I will not read any more of this series. What a disappointment.

REVIEWED FOR PRISM BOOK ALLIANCE
This is a long story delving into the lives of 3 men with a whole lot of sex but behind the bed hopping there is a story panning out that is so full of twists that in the end its 429 pages don’t actually feel like enough.
If you have read Hidden Child you will have already met Jamie. That book tells his story, through his eyes, as a four year old child and it is heartbreaking.
The events from that book have made Jamie the man he is today and that man is shutoff and struggling. In his own words he is an empty vessel, incapable of loving and never allowing anyone too close. He has OCD issues and seems to live with fog surrounding him which prevents him looking into his past and helps him black out anything traumatic. He is a character in this series that you can be sure is blocking out some pretty big issues and is heading for a meltdown.
Jamie has known Scott since a child although they were never close. Two years ago they met at a party and have been sleeping together ever since. For the sake of his strict and sometimes violent father Scott has a girlfriend he intends to marry but in reality he is in love with Jamie. The thought of Scott loving him has Jamie in a tail spin, their relationship is often volatile but there are secrets hidden there as well. Scott is a true badass but shows a softer side when with Jamie and allows him to dominate him sexually.
Valerio is a rising motorbike racing star that is living with his own ghosts from a traumatic past. He has no problems remembering his demons as they visit him in his nightmares all too often. His racing partner Angel is Jamie’s brother and the man has a huge crush on Jamie that he is determined to keep secret as he keeps himself firmly ensconced in the closet. That situation changes after a drunken night in Japan when Jamie ends up looking after Valerio after one too many drinks.
The two develop a friendship that initially involves a lot of flirting. This ends up being a ménage without the three if that makes sense, there are three of them in the relationship but only two in a bed at a time, as Jamie hops from one bed to another. For a few weeks it is very muddled and Scott and Valerio hate each other. For the first time ever Jamie finds he can do battle with and beat his OCD monster and finds himself doing things with Valerio that he has never been able to do previously.
The end of the book ends on a cliffhanger so I am keen to get stuck into book 2 and find out what happens. These three men are so mixed up in the present whilst they are all trying to deal with their pasts that I’m sure it will be good and quite probably difficult.

I've read a M/M romance before, but it was nothing compared to this. Nicole is unafraid to push the envelope, her delivery is wholehearted, and she just tells her story like it is... dirty, gritty and erotic. Allow me to reiterate that this story is INCREDIBLY hot. I dared think I could pull the STRAIGHT GIRL move at first and try to picture one of the men as a woman. Nope. Did not work. The incredibly descriptive act of body parts touching just does not allow for it. This story is not for the faint of heart or the scared of anal sex or swapping of bodily fluids. Hah! Yeah, I said it. This is M/M erotica, people! Did you really need the warning?
JAMIE
After having read The Hidden Child novella about Jamie in his youth, I think it only made me understand his history better. When other readers were in the dark, I had gained insight into why Jamie acts the way he does. His childhood was truly horrific. (That's another goodread you should consider before starting this one.)
VALERIO
My Italian stud-muffin, Valerio, is so unsure of himself, conflicted and just plain gorgeous. Poor gent. He hasn't come out of the closet yet, but Jamie brings out a desire like he's never before felt. It was neat how the author had me believing that Valerio would slip into his native tongue, although every word in this book reads in English. Very creative. I liked that.
SCOT
Then there's Scot. I admit it: I really DID NOT like him in the beginning. Then again I don't think I was supposed to. That boy really grew on me, I tell ya. I hurt for him.
The story is long, and I read slow, but I had no trouble plowing right through this one. Pardon the pun. ;) But seriously, there really is A LOT of sex in this story. If you've ever stated in a review, "I'm not a prude, but..." then stop right there. But if you can appreciate a long series about a hoard of handsome, sex-crazed men who scratch and claw through their relationships, hiding from themselves and their pasts, then this should become next up on your to-read list.

Brilliant Book, couldn’t put it down. I read this book and the next two after Hidden Love. I fell in love with Scot and Jamie, Hidden Love ended on a really dark part of both of their lives and I’m so happy that I could buy them and read on and find out what happened next.
My friend read the first three first and she thought it worked that way because of the unhappy ending in Hidden Love, but as I read that one first I can’t really agree. I loved this book, I loved Scot, loved, loved, loved him. He’s such a bad boy, or a good-bad boy. LOL
This book continues on right from the ending of Hidden Love, and it’s such a shock to the system to hear Jamie’s own confused words and to see what he’s going through. I enjoyed knowing and seeing all the little hints that the author drops in these books, I think if I had read these first I may not have paid them enough attention. If you read these first then Hidden Love go back and re-read them and you’ll see what I mean. I think I felt more for them both because I knew what they had gone through.
I really liked Valerio in the beginning of this book, I also felt sorry for him because I knew in my heart things were not going to go the way he wanted them to. I also started to really dislike him by the end of this one, but I tried hard not to.
This book and the second one sucked me in and I read them back to back. The writing is current and up to date and all the people in these grab you and want you to keep reading. I couldn’t put it down. I’m in the middle of reading Hidden Passion, and I’m dying for the next installment already.
I love series, I love long books, I really love this author.
It’s self published, and there are tiny editing issues, missing words etc but they don’t spoil the book and don’t detracted you from the story line. I think it flows well, considering all the mystery and confusing aspects of the men involved in it.

J’ai beaucoup apprécié ce premier tome, et pas seulement parce que les deux héros enfin trois sont sexys et charismatiques, non derrière cette belle façade il y a des hommes, des vrais qui malgré la gloire ou l’argent sont tout simplement humains. J’aime quand les personnages ne sont pas parfaits, quand vous avez un petit quelque chose qui casse cette parfaite apparence et surtout lorsqu’une certaine fragilité apparait.
C’est un trio assez complexe que nous offre Nicole Colville, Nous avons trois hommes très différents avec chacun une blessure qui les conduit à se cacher, soit des autres soit à eux-mêmes. Valerio, si jeune qui dissimule son homosexualité sous un masque « d’homme à femmes » qui sied à son statut de coureur et qui perd pied devant les sentiments que lui inspirent Jamie. Jamie, ouvertement gay quant à lui, est plutôt un » handicapé émotionnel » qui va tomber amoureux, mais ne sait pas comment agir. Scot, eh bien Scot est l’archétype de celui qui a réussi, qui possède tout et qui lorsqu’il désire quelque chose ou quelqu’un l’obtient, sauf que l’amour est un sentiment qui ne s’achète pas… La relation qui se crée est complexe et les émotions se transmettent plus par le sexe que par la communication, mais vous sentez qu’il y a beaucoup plus et j’espère que dans la suite Nicole Colville développera ses caractères.
Alors tout n’est pas parfait dans ce premier tome, il y a quelques fautes (qui même pour moi Française j’ai noté) et puis un ou deux passages que j’ai trouvé un peu facile et qui auraient gagnés à avoir un peu plus de profondeur, cependant l’histoire reste fascinante, et intéressante. Souvent frustrant, mais jamais ennuyeux, les personnages et l'intrigue dans son ensemble vous attirent, je me suis attachée à ces trois hommes et j’ai envie de connaitre leur évolution.

I don't know what to say. I'm p'd off that it ends in a cliff hanger and I stupidly hadn't noticed that the story gets dragged on for another 8 books!!!!!! I admit that I'm curious as to what happens next but they all got on my nerves. So indecisive, so whiny, swapping from one bed to another but all having major issues that need dealing with. I felt no empathy, didn't feel sorry for any of them and couldn't have cared less who ended up with who. It also got on my nerves that I lost count of how many expensive homes and cars they owned. I couldn't keep up with which house they were spending their time off in. I mean seriously? Is that necessary? Count to ten Cheryl and breathe....

I am obsessed with this series! I'm on book two now! Talk about damaged very sexual hot men! I have no idea how this will end but I can't stop reading until I find out! Jaime, Valerio and Scot - three unique men - all with big secrets and troubled minds and hearts! They have fu%&ed with my mind...in a good way! <3
November 26, 2015
Almost to angsty for me. It took me some time to get through this one. I had to stop and read something lighter and then come back...but I kept coming back. It will be interesting to see where this series goes and if I can make it through. Definitely need to at least get through the next one to see what happens to Val and Jamie and does Scot continue get in the way.

3.5 stars. Some parts didn't keep my attention and found it a little tough to get into .
July 27, 2014
What a great debut novel this is. I will hold my hands up and say I have owned this for while before I got around to reading it, and wished I'd read it sooner.
Complex relationships and character interaction kept my brain working while I was reading, and I am pleased to say that I even picked up on some of the nuances that are not obvious to everyone who reads, but you won't lose any enjoyment if you don't get right into their heads.
Enter Valerio, a hot young Moto GP driver who falls for Jamie, not realising that the object of his affection returns his feelings. They both have their own issues and insecurities which they need to overcome and at times I found myself wanting to reach into my Kindle app and slap them both for being so blind to the other. But when you add in Scot, a man that Jamie has a long standing 'arrangement' with things get really interesting.
The sex scenes are smoking, there really is no other way to describe them as the characters give and take what they want from each other, but it is balanced with they way their realtionship(s) unfold and take you on the journey with them.
The story left me wanting so much more and I already know there is so much more to come from these characters and I cannot wait to take the journey with these men.

loved this book but I made a mistake of reading the blurbs for the up coming books and found out what happened and lost interest. I really wanted Jaime and Valerio to stay together and then I saw that Jaime ends up with Scot and I lost interest. It seemed the story went on with Jaime's story from the blurbs. The OCD seemed to be interesting with him but sometimes he had it and sometimes he didn't. It could have made for a very interesting part of the story and how he got over it but they seemed to skip over that problem a lot.

Great read
This is a good M/M read. I have to admit I want Scot & Jaime together. This is the first book and you learn more about Jaime and start to see how he truly is. You meet Val and get to know him. Overall the chemistry and sex oh my. I look forward to reading more books in the series.

Written in first person POV with changing perspectives it was a little tough to read. The smexing was hot as hell though.

These guys have been through so much. I hope there is a happy ending in the future. Loved it!

Stunning book with characters that have so many flaws but you just want them to be happy. Enjoyed every second reading it and can't wait to join the characters in the second book.

I have been collecting this series since last year, once I downloaded the 8th book in the series I decided it was time to start this the first book Hidden Truths.
I absolutely loved this book, yes it's a long read but so needed as the main characters are extremely complex. I don't want to give the storyline away as I enjoyed the fact I had only read the product description.
We have Three very successful men each going through their own difficulties and dealing with demons from their pasts! Will one marry the woman his farther wants him to even though he is bit? Will the other Two finally admit they need each other in a way no other coupe does, Can they heal each other?
This is a book has a interesting, gripping storyline, at times I could feel myself getting impatient with the character's yet still feeling the emotion of their confusion and pain.
Nicole Colville certainly had me on the edge of my seat with wonderful character development that gave me perfect Images to what was happening at all times. There are many twists and dramas happening that kept me reading untill I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore and needed to sleep.
I am moving straight on to the next book as I need to know what happens next. My only regret is that I read the product description for the Eighth book which told me Two of the character's are together and I really would rather they wasn't!

My thoughts about this book are a little jumbled in that while I basically liked the book I found it a bit of a hard read with so many mistakes in grammar throughout the entire book. Now I'm not one to usually even mention that but I found it very distracting.
The other major point that I had a problem with was the character of Jamie. His backstory is that he has OCD, and is somewhat emotionally stunted due to traumatic events in his life. While the emotional issues are addressed and quite well defined, the issue of OCD is not... I just could not see that much thought or research was done on this disorder at all.
There is one more thought I have on this book, and that I know I'm going to probably get some readers upset with me is this...there was way too much sex in this book. I truly feel that it took away from the over all feel of the story and I found myself by the end of the book just skimming over the physical scenes to get back to the story.
I like the characters of Valerio, Jamie and Scot, but I don't know if I like them enough to read more of the series...which is a shame because I really like both long books and I like series.

I'm not adding this to my book count for the year because I skimmed a lot. And I skimmed because the whole thing made me a little nauseated, but I wanted to see how it turned out. Should I give it two stars for that? No. There's nothing redeeming here. No sympathetic characters, no compelling plot, no interesting story arcs. Just a lot of fucking and no one caring how their actions affected anyone else. Plus, there's no resolution. The melodramatic horse shit continues in book two, apparently.
No, thank you.
No, thank you.

I didn't really like this one that much. I actually didn't finish it either. The way it was written just didn't flow with me. But that's ok because I have read other books written by Nicole Colville and I loved them. I am actually starting another one of her series. This one just didn't work for me.

I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could. I liked the story, but the characters were a bit to wishy-washy at times. If they'd felt like they were more consistent with their feelings, it would have read better.

I am kinda split on whether I like this storyline or whether I wanted to even finish it. Jamie annoyed me so much that at one point I was just yelling "pick a guy. Make a freaking choice." Not sure I even want to continue the series, and I loved Nicole Colville' s other books.
