I’ve spent the last two years playing the deadliest game of hide and seek. My tormentor knows no bounds, and I’m done being his prey.

In another new city, I'm hoping this is the place I finally find peace and those parts of myself I’ve lost along the way. New name, new hair, new clothes… new me. I’m determined for it to stick this time, desperate for a quiet existence to escape the horrors chasing me. The last thing I expect to find is more of what I’m running from.

Violence. Murder. Manipulation.

Except here, three dangerous men have me in their sights, but instead of wanting to clip my wings and keep me in a gilded cage, they’re offering me something I have long forgotten…
Freedom.

When trouble comes calling, and nightmares crawl out of shadows... Don't you want the biggest monsters on your side?

*18+ Reverse Harem Romance. Warning this book contains scenes and references of abuse/assault that some readers may find triggering. Along with graphic sex scenes and violence. This is a dark romance duet*

“We’re all a little broken. It’s how you put yourself back together that counts.”Well crap on a cracker that cliffhanger was just mean.I can wait to see what happens next. The way that Quinn had started to grow into a stronger version of herself was great. Then crap had to go and hit the fan and now I demand justice!“I might be a monster, but I’m going to be her monster, whether she likes it or not.”These new guys are quickly fighting to be some of my favorite male leads written by this author and that’s shocking. Considering I love her work and the worlds that she creates. While my sweet little monster Rory is definitely my favorite of the three, I love the way that these three mean mesh as a team. And look forward to seeing how they seek revenge on this jerk for their girl.

This book kept me interested all the way through! From the first page it sucked me into Quinn’s story!

Quinn is running from her abuser. She loves every couple of months due to Trent finding her. No matter where she goes, he will find her. She has made it a point to make sure there is a way out no matter where she’s staying. Except what happens when you’re no longer allowed to leave?

Rory, Hunter, and Meyers have taken an interest in her, but will she trade one gilded cage for another?

The plot was amazing! Spice was fantastic! 5 stars all around!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I really enjoyed this book & would definitely recommend!
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Good plot/spice balance! Those boys are kinky 🥵
Check your triggers❗️
In The Secrets We Keep by Lily Wildhart we meet Quinn, our very traumatized FMC. She’s on the run from on abusive marriage when she stumbles upon Tommy. Tommy is the single factor that helps her survive. He’s been one constant in her new life & I only wish we got to know a little bit more about him! How does he fit in with the boys?
While on the run, with Tommy’s connections, Quinn ends up in the safety of Meyers, Hunter and Rory. The boys are portrayed as Mafia Leaders, but no one other than Quinn would call them such. They dabble in a lot of different things that make them rich & dangerous. They’re enraptured with Quinn upon first sight & make it their sole purpose to make her theirs. The boys bring Quinn in on the inner workings right from the beginning. They don’t keep much from her! Quinn still has a lot of healing to do from her marriage and the boys are so patient and kind with her. I’m curious about how the boys became as close as they are. There are little tidbits of information about their past but I still have more questions!
Beware the cliffhanger! I’m so glad I found this duet when both books were already released. I would’ve had a difficult time waiting for book 2. I can’t wait to see where Quinn ends up!

First and foremost, please check the trigger warnings which can be found at the beginning of the book.

Let me just say that I was NOT prepared for this book! This read was an absolute ride that I was sucked into from the start. I felt for Quinn from the very beginning because of everything that she has gone through. She grew up in an abusive household to then end up in an abusive relationship when she was older, so it’s no wonder that she has some issues. I loved seeing her growth throughout this book and the progress she made once she started therapy and finally began to feel comfortable enough to let people get close to her.

And the guys…whew, I am absolutely feral for each of these guys for different reasons but I think my favorite may be Rory. While all of the guys see Quinn in a way that she’s not accustomed to, Rory sees just a little deeper than the rest and can always tell when something is bothering her and exactly what it is and what she needs to hear.

We only get a few spicy scenes in this book, but when we do get them…🥵🥵🥵. Let’s just say that those scenes we did get had me sweating and clenching. And the dirty talking on these guys is just next level hot. I’m looking forward to more in the next book, and maybe, hopefully, a group scene. 🤞🏻

If you’ve been reading Lily for any length of time, then you know that she’s known for the cliffhangers. So I was not at all surprised that we got a doozy of one in this book. And even though I knew exactly what it was going to be, I was still yelling and cussing when this book ended. I seriously need the next book soon, so if you’ll excuse me, I’m now going to go pout that I have to wait for it.

I skimmed through a lot of this book. It started with a lot of possibility. I didn’t care for the preview chapter. It wasn’t necessary. It takes the guys months to even meet her let alone start a relationship and it feels like it moves really slow with a lot of day-to-day, but the romance, part of it seems really shallow and an afterthought. There aren’t enough moments, where they seem to grow together, or share, or click. It just seems like they saw her and thought she was hot and they decided. But since it’s hands off most the time, and like I said, there aren’t enough moments, she doesn’t seem like a person they actually care for. There aren’t enough reasons. I was disappointed. The ending cliffhanger was predictable, and I think it should’ve had the symbolism that had been built up. The guys are hot and interesting enough, but given the circumstances if I were her, I wouldn’t trust them. She has a better relationship with Shae and Tina. They make time for each other, drop things for each other, check in, and do the work.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!!!

I have to say that this is one of the best books I have read. I could not put it down!! 

The story is about Quinn, who is running from an abusive relationship and winds up meeting 3 incredible men.

I love this story because despite all the stuff Quin has been through, she is an incredibly strong, smart, and capable MFC. Honestly, one of the best i have come across in a RH. 

She isn't stupid, childish, or reckless, which has honestly made me quit reading some other books part way because I just could not get past those traits. 

The men…..mmmmmm… Hunter, Meyer, and Rory are some definitely amazing book boyfriends. I love these MMC. 

The refreshing thing about this book is that they are not toxic, demeaning, or abusive in any way, which seems to be the norm in a lot of books lately. They are possessive, attentive, sweet, and so many more things. Yes, they can be controlling, especially Meyer, but not in a bad way. They balance each other put and try to think of her wants and needs and accomadate her as much as possible.

Love! Love! Love this book!!!! I can't wait for the 2nd one to come out and look forward to reading more from this author.

Well written and captivating. I could not put it down. The FMC is compelling and the MMCs are so bad they are good. Please note that this book ends on a cliffhanger and has tons of triggers.

A great reverse harem with a good story, a nicely paced action and spice. Not hyper spicy, but the spice is there and well done.

I like the fact that all the guys have their own style of kinks. It makes it more interesting and diversified.

The only thing I’m raging about? THE ENDING! Argh!

But seriously, a great mafia-esque, dark romance, reverse harem. It’s *Chef’s kiss*! Highly recommend for those who like these tropes.

Not sure I've read anything by this author but wow she can write! I absolutely loved everything about this book. The guys, the fmc over coming her past and finding the courage to leave and fight. Shea sweet shea is just the friend everyone deserves. It was mostly storyline - hallelujah with a few perfectly placed other scenes. A book of perfection!

I don't like that cliffhanger at all. After escaping an abusive marriage, Quinn has been virtually running for her life. When she finally found a safe place with Meyer, Hunter and Rory, she slowly began coming out of her shell and letting down the walls she has built up, becoming more carefree. Before the gala, she had an overwhelming feeling of doom. Sometimes you should just go with your gut.

This book drew me in right away and I knew I had to see this story through. It did slow down a bit but the ending (while slightly predictable) came out of nowhere. I was expecting something else to happen and surprise! I quite enjoy a good cliffhanger and while I didn’t want to throw my Kindle after that ending, I very much want to know what’s going to happen next.

You can’t help but feel for the FMC, she’s strong and although she has been through so much, she’s trying to regain what she lost, and help others along the way. Obviously it’s going to take more time for her to finally feel comfortable with herself, but she is making progress and you can see it as the book goes on. My heart broke for her anytime she was triggered or afraid and I just want everything to be OK.

I don’t know if I connected to the men as much, I think I liked the side characters more and was intrigued by them and their stories. I think as we learn more about them in the next book I’ll connect a bit more.

Overall I enjoyed the book and I’m interested to see what happens next.

3.5/5
