Secrets We Kept Til Morning

Pleasure. Everyone should be able to experience pleasure at some level in their life span. Nina Marshall needs pleasure and her desperation to obtain it causes a blur in her decision-making. Of course, like all things, there are levels of pleasure. Some experience it at an amateur level, only knowing pleasure in its simplest form. Others have the absolute honor of experiencing pleasure on elevated levels. If ever you run into an individual who has mastered the art of pleasure, it can be addicting. You could find yourself chasing a high you may never experience again. For Nina, she encounters an expert at pleasure in the form of Dom. The only issue is, she does not know his true identity. After a long night at the office, Nina stumbles across a flyer that tugs at her curiosity. Her decision to visit Euphoria leads to her encounter with Dom, and the beginning of her addiction.

Pleasure…Nina needs pleasure and so do you!

2nd read
4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐stars, Now that I know that there is a second book the ending makes more sence. I really enjoyed both characters in and the story. Hopefully the second book pulls it together.


3.75⭐⭐⭐ I am sorry I couldn't rate this higher; it was a good story but, I wish the ending was a little bit more fleshed out. I would have liked to see them together in a relationship as themselves.

Dom 😍

One thing about me, I loveee a filthy erotica with heart!👏🏾 This book had my kindle on fiyah because it was sexy!! . I loved the secrets/mystery and how the story came together 😏. Dom is a hood sweetheart with flaws but still worthy of love. Nina is a boss in her own right & she has a heart of gold. I love to see different sides of characters & I feel like the author captured that well in this book.

I highly recommend reading this book

Notes:
Them Sex scenes was sexing!! 😮‍💨🥵
& those thigh stretch marks on the cover!!!!🔥🔥🔥

Whew Lawd! Can I get the address to Euphoria please and thank you? They had some hot, heavy, sexy ish going on up in there! Nina loves her job as a social worker, but is stressed and overworked; as so many of them are! Getting an invitation to Euphoria spooked her, but also intrigued her at the same time! Pushing her inhibitions to the side, she says what the hell, I'll go! That one night, and meeting Dom was life changing! Dom, a hard working businessman, who enjoys spending time at Euphoria to deal with his struggles. Can we say fate, kismet whatever you want to call it? There is no other way to explain how these two meet in the way that they do outside of the club! Don't want to give too much away, but this is the beginning of something beautiful! Loved Nina and her passion to help the kids, and Dom for stepping up to the plate, while in a difficult position! Cannot wait for more! Great job! 👍👍👍

The storyline was good and the pacing was good at the beginning but then it just gave me full length novel vibes. It was like sitting between being a novella and a full length novel. There should have been a more developed story of the main story, the romance, the secret identities and the subplot of Arielle. Loved the Arielle subplot a lot and it had a lot of potential but it felt like it was solely a plot device for the romance. I needed to see the development of the relationship between Dominique and Arielle as Uncle and Niece especially because he just found out she exists and she just got out of an abusive foster home. Needed them to catch the man that abused her and put him behind bars, needed to see the progression and development of the relationship between Dominique and Nina.

Grapesssssss and fine wine, baby!

I’m not new to the Deshon Dreamz experience, and again I have not been disappointed! Based on the start of the book and even the synopsis, one may think this joint is full of nasty, nasty and... it is (LOL) but it’s balanced with a touching storyline and intimacy that intensifies a brewing connection.

Our hero, Dominique, was vulnerable and patient despite his firm facade and that was enough to make me blush countless times while reading! Our heroine, Nina, was a selfless beauty who I loved seeing in action while in her element as a social worker.

The story gave enough to be complete, but I’d love to see them in the future!!!

I need more

Absolutely loved this story!!!! Dominique and Nina met at a sex club. They did not know each other's identity outside the club. Their chemistry and sexual experiences inside the club were hot and steamy. Dom and Nina lives got intertwined outside the club but they didn't recognize each other. Dom wanted her in the worst way and it seems fate put her right in his path. Although I don't consider this cliff hanger I definitely need more of Dom, Nina, and sweet little Arielle.

This book has some major inconsistencies and seemed unfinished. I liked the thought of the couple meeting at the sex club, It kept it mysterious and sexy. The sex scenes were just okay to me. I think what kept me interested was knowing that they would eventually find out who each other is. That to be honest fell flat to me. I wanted some angst and tension. First , some content warnings needed to be added for SA of a minor. Even it’s of wasn’t on page, it was heavily discussed. We never really found out who SA the girl and the way that it was handled with social services just seemed unrealistic. I would’ve also liked for more scenes to be fleshed out.

Must Read

Sultry sex scenes, the erotic and gripping connection between Nina and Dominque was on point. The introduction of Arielle, what happened to her was just so heartbreaking and had me so angry, I really wanted that piece of person to pay. However I’m so happy she got a happy outcome, a home and family. This book sent me through a range of emotions, some was unexpected. I loved how it ended. A must read book.

Interesting

Great introduction to the Euphoria series!

There were quite a few editing issues, but not the kind I consider enough to take away a star. Dom + Control Freak = hot! 🥵 Dominique + Nina = HEA.

*As a foster parent, I wish every child placed in the system had a Nina. 🙏🏽

amazing

This book was so good. The chemistry between Nina & Dominique was amazing inside and outside of the bedroom. Dominique is the type of H you want in every story. Hes worked so hard to better himself. Even though his world is turned upside down, he’s all in when it comes down to it and stepping up. Nina is smart, caring, & strong h. I love how much she cared for Arielle

An Okay Read

This was an okay read. Some things didn’t really add up to me. Nina was a social worker and got so tied up in placing her client, she started moving a little prematurely in my opinion. Other than that, the story w her and Dominique was cute. I also loved how he came around to his niece. I can’t say intel’s my gm favorite read, but I’d still recommend.

DANG!

Oh my goodness! This book was so sexy, so good, so perfect! Dominique and Nina were giving me so much life! I can't forget to mention sweet Arielle, she deserved all of the love and attention could get. I got to the end and didn't want it end! This book was perfect!

Great read!!!

I was on edge reading this book. Usually most books I can predict out it will play out but not this one. I really enjoyed reading this book. Only thing I wish is that it was longer.

I love Dom's energy throughout this entire story but Arielle really endeared me to this. The way Dom ends up loving on that little girl was just beautiful. Yes this a romance and that aspect of it is bomb as well but Ari really got me.

It’s not often that I have questions after a romance novel but I still don’t know how that girl knew to invite Nina to Euphoria if both Nina and Dom didn’t know each other. Nina and Dom’s story continue in a part 2.

“Tell me you’ll be mine. Lie to me, if you don’t know. I just need to hear it.”

1.5/5

Maybe I read something different, because I don't get it. Apart from the writing (which is a bit clunky and has some grammatical errors, but easy to look past), I just don't think the story was executed well. It could have been really intriguing, but it fell flat. Nina was fine.

But most of my issues were with Dom, who is the literal worst! He ain't it. Besides his treatment of women(which is disgusting), his characterization was all over the place. One minute he's a loner, two second later he's a family man, and next he wants to settle down. That arc is fine, but there was little to no believable interactions or insight that took us from A to C. He claims he manages his issue well, causes no problems, but a few chapters in, is a COMPLETE demeaning asshole to a woman he's just had sex with! SMH. The sex wasn't good enough to make up for the story and Dom's personality.

a ride

This book took me on a ride. My question is did Nina ever find out who did that to Dominque niece. I will be reading book 2 because I want to know if this couple stay together.

Nina and Dom

Nina and Dom’s chemistry connected them so tough it was everything. This short story was definitely worth the read. Can’t wait to read more from them.

I knew this was a short, but I still wanted more. I felt like there wasn't enough love scenes for me. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed their story, just wanted more.
