Secrets protect…but they also destroy.

Tanya Rae’s Review: 4.5 STARS
When I saw there was an ARC I jumped at the chance to read Secrets, for 3 reasons. 1. This is my second book that I have read of Claire Thompson. I loved the first book that I read by her so I knew I would love the second as well. 2. I love BDSM books 3. New Series.
Secrets is Allie Swift’s and Liam Byrne’s story. They first meet on an online BDSM website. She lives clean across the US from where Liam lives. But, they still end up getting together thanks to Liam’s friends. And, of course they have “Secrets” hence the name of the book. I won’t say more because then that would just give away the story and I won’t do that. No spoilers here.
I loved that Liam explored Allie’s limits and pushed her to accept that side of herself. There are things that I know I would never try or even want to try in this story. But, he does these things to get Allie to trust him.
I loved this book and that hunky Alpha Liam!
I received a complimentary copy of Secrets for an honest review and I give it 4.5 Stars.
Lita T’s Review: 4 STARS
Secrets by Claire Thompson is the story of Allie. In the BDSM scene she likes the pain. She is a submissive who wants to find a Dom that can satisfy her masochistic itch. The problem is she has a secret. Tired of the scene in her area she decides to go an online site that caters to likeminded people as herself. Not really thinking she could find someone online she figured she would give it a try. She is a hit and many Dom’s are interested in her. No one has really peaked her interest until she gets a hit from Master Liam. Even though they live clear across the country from each other they really seem to hit it off. On impulse she show up on his doorstep with nothing on but her coat. Liam is trying to reclaim his life after a terrible car accident which resulted in his fiancée dumping him and leaving him with not only physical scars but emotional as well. This was a good story of two people who have issues and secrets which keep them from finding love and personal satisfaction. Theirs was a journey that kept me interested and I was pleased when I got to the end. Each was able to help the other let go so they could enjoy life and each other. The sex between the two wasn’t bad either. I was not disappointed. I was given an Arc of the book for an honest review. I give Secrets 4 stars.

sadomasochism. Ultimately her work deals with the human condition, and our constraint search for love and intensity of experience.

“Your former life is over. Your apartment will be emptied, your car disposed of, your life erased. You are now the property of Pirate Island, to be used and enjoyed as we see fit. Your life is quite literally in our hands.”Mara Stevens jumps at the chance for a job at a new premier resort on the North Carolina coast. All she has to do is fly out to the private island and get through one more interview. Unfortunately, what should be a shiny new career opportunity turns into a living nightmare.
Upon landing, she learns the truth. She’s been taken to serve as a plaything to the owners and their chosen guests—high-powered, dangerous men who see her as nothing more than their sexual toy to use and abuse at their whim.
With no escape possible, Mara is forced to submit to the training and discipline of a sadistic taskmaster—or suffer the consequences. Good girls are rewarded; bad girls are punished—severely. Deep into her harrowing journey of forced sexual servitude and submission, Mara becomes prey for The Hunt. Naked and alone, Mara must summon all her courage and cunning, drawing on the indomitable spirit that still secretly burns inside her.
