Title: Secret
Author: Kindle Alexander
Genre: M/M Romance
Release: June 9, 2015
Tristan Wilder, self-made millionaire and devastatingly handsome CEO of Wilder-Nation is on the verge of a very lucrative buyout. With tough negotiations ahead, he's armed with his acquisition pitch, ready to launch the deal of a lifetime. There’s just one glitch. The last thing he expects is to fall for the hot business owner he's trying to sway.
Dylan Reeves, computer science engineer and founder of the very successful social media site, Secret, is faced with a life-altering decision. A devoted family man with three kids and a wife, Dylan has been living a secret for years. Fiercely loyal to his convictions, his boundaries blur after meeting the striking owner of the corporation interested in acquiring his company. For the first time in his life, reckless desire consumes him when the gorgeous computer mogul makes an offer he can't refuse.
In the midst of thinking of selling his business, he meets Tristian Wilder, who hasn't really ever made time for a relationship, and then, BAM, something about this very deeply-seeded closeted man, he finds in Dylan and he finds himself wanting one. But is all of that baggage worth it?
When I hear the author's name, Kindle Alexander, I automatically think two things: one, M/M and two, this is going to be good! She didn't let me down.
From beginning to end this book is full of great story lines, great sex and angst. I was never bored, yet the story was never rushed. Dylan and Tristan's relationship had a chance to go through the, stages of figuring out both were gay, yes, they wanted to sleep together, the whole nine-yards, without feeling rushed or dragging. Kindle hit the money on the head when figuring out how to work that part of the story line.
Working in the whole family dynamic was brilliant and I. Loved. It!
Character development was amazing. I loved Dylan, Tristian and all of the secondary characters. Those children and Dylan's wife were so perfect! I fell in love with them! There was some comic relief with some co-workers, angst with another, all characters there to give added depth and feel to the story.
Kindle can write HOT M/M sex without it coming off cheesy or degrading in anyway. She makes it beautiful. She makes one realize that "love is love" no matter who is falling in love and one shouldn't judge it from the outside looking in. That isn't for us to do.
5 Beautiful Stars!
Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It's always a surprise to see what's coming next!
I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it's true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women's hair!
Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life - I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations - regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal... I don't want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I'm going to tell you about Kindle.
I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died - weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn't have to be alone.
That time in my life was terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.
Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness - it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.
Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.
