It was wrong for us to be together, but it was even harder to be apart.
The memory of Dallas Sykes burns inside of me.
Everyone knows him as a notorious playboy, a man for whom women and money are no object. But to me, he’s still the one man I desperately crave—yet the one I can never have.
Dallas knows me better than anyone else. We bear the same scars, the same darkness in our past. I thought I could move on by staying away, but now that we’re drawn together once more, I can’t fight the force of our attraction or the temptation to make him mine.
We’ve tried to maintain control, not letting ourselves give in to desire. And for so long we’ve told ourselves no—but now it’s finally time to say yes.
Dirtiest Secret is intended for mature audiences.
REVIEW
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
J. Kenner’s writing is so incredibly sensual, it’s always a pleasure immersing myself in her words. Combine this with a passionate couple and I’m riding the wave of eroticism and lust.
Having read Deepest Kiss, I’d already been introduced to Dallas Sykes. Then again with the moniker The King of Fuck, you wonder whether he needs any introduction at all.
That said and incidentally what I enjoyed most about this novel is the preconception of him. He has all the attributes and means of the quintessential playboy billionaire and actively perpetuates his hedonistic persona.
There is one person who truly knows him, and is the person he keeps at arms length. The truth usually can be freeing, but in this case can cause irreparable damage. Kenner went big and I’m interested to see how the story will develop. In the same breath, this is where I struggled. The back and forth represented the turmoil but was rather distracting.
I have to give kudos where it is due in any case. I may not have been engaged as is usual for a Kenner novel but I can’t deny the heart of the matter is a riveting one.
