His Secret

De: Isabel Lucero

Narrado por: Theo Sinclair, Oscar Reyes

There's only one thing better than being popular, well-liked, and the most attractive person on campus—it's being the object of his desire.

I was overlooked most of my life. Quiet, nerdy, and someone people didn't notice. But he saw me. Adrian Kennedy was kind whereas others were indifferent. He laughed, not at me, but because of me. Because he believed I was the funniest person he knew. I was myself with him—stripped bare, exposed. Raw and open in a way I've never known since. I was his, and he was mine.

But I was a secret. Perhaps an experiment. Pushed aside when things got too scary. Too real. His kindness turned into cruelty, not because of words he said, but because he was unaware of what his rejection felt like.

Years later, he's made his way into my life once more. He's married now. To a woman who will never know him the way I did. The way I still do. He's lying to her and himself, and becoming my neighbor is sure to expose everything, because he is mine, and I am his—the keeper of his secret.

Great story!

I really enjoyed the story and how it did flashbacks of when they were first together and then present day. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the narrator of Matthias. I felt there was very little inflection in his voice throughout half of the narration. The other thing that bothered me about the narration was that One narrator had Matthias' voice as deeper and the other had it as higher, and vice versa. I would think someone who was a big football player would have the deeper voice but one narrator actually had him speaking with a more effeminate voice and it was really throwing me off compared to the other narrator. Had they gotten on the same page, this would have been a five across the board for me. I switched my rating from a four to a five because it's more like a four and a half and I would rather not penalize the author for personal narration per peeves because even so, I would definitely listen to this again! *TW - if you aren't ok with cheating, definitely skip this one.

Love Delayed, But No Longer Denied

If Cheating in any capacity triggers you then this title might bother you. I found that cheating triggers me but only it happens when one main character cheats on the other. That didn't happen between Matt and Adrian so *whew*! What also made it bearable is that Adrian and Charlotte were strongly 'encouraged' into the marriage, and that they were never in love. I follow Theo Sinclair so he led me to "His Secret" by Isabel Lucero...and I enjoyed this 2nd chance m/m romance. Theo did not disappoint! and Oscar Reyes was no slouch either. The spice was good and not OTT....I will definitely check out more of Lucero's work.
