Secrets #2
Secrets II
“I learned a long time ago that I can’t fully trust anyone,” Earl Larsen said quietly.
Ian knows he should simply walk away and leave everything behind. If the Earl won’t do anything to help himself, what can Ian do? He can’t fight, he’s not rich, and he has no connections. The Earl won’t directly admit or deny the accusations made against him.
After Ian learns something from an unexpected source, doubt and guilt fuel him. There’s no denying that he was used, but at the same time, the Earl treated him like a treasured pet. He refused to go through with a prior agreement and risked his own safety instead of Ian.
If Earl Larsen is actually innocent and the victim of a greedy man, how can Ian go away? He allowed his lack of trust to get in the way at first, but now he’ll have to make a leap of faith and find a way to get to the truth even if it means going to Relluck.
If his plan fails, Ian might find himself in an escapable situation at the hands of monsters who will gladly hurt him if it means keeping the Earl compliant.

As a trauma survivor, the bit with Earl Larsen wanting to fake his death and go far away really hit home. It's pretty impossible to do today because we have like computers and records, but I totally understood it. I'm glad he could do it to with someone he could trust.
To be able to just leave it all behind and start over somewhere new...I feel like he got me.

Earl Larsen’s part was sad, and I really felt for Ian trying to help him. But I loved the ending, and their choice (not spoiling it).
The last part was hot too, and the covers were really beautiful with the blindfolds

Better than the last
The author did it again by drawing me in from page one. The story was intriguing and I loved all the plot twists. It was great to see their relationship grow and develop into a HEA. If you're up for a wild ride, read this book.

Getting to learn what happened was intense. The ending🥵
Again, Earl Larsen can punish me anytime.
The cover of this and Secrets I was also phenomenal

I and II were way too good. The way they got out of things was clever.

I think this was even better.

Not as good as the first one. The plot seemed a little farfetched. I think the author could have done much better. Not as steamy as the first.

I blew through both books in a day. Loved it. I wasn't expecting the ending, but I think it was fiting for them to do what they did. Better
