TOP SECRET by SARINA BOWEN & ELLE KENNEDY

‘I’m just a guy, standing on a beach…waiting for the right man to love me.’

We adored this book, and we adored Keaton and Luke! From the authors who brought us the gorgeous Wes and Jamie in Him (Him Book #1) and Us (Him Book #2), comes their new NA/MM, Top Secret, and to say we were ecstatic when this landed on our Kindles is an understatement! We couldn’t wait to meet Keaton Hayworth the third, and Luke Bailey! Top Secret is a sexy and sweet, enemies to lovers, with hilarious banter and flirting via dialogue and messaging which brought huge smiles to our faces!  Not to mention it’s also educational! You’ll learn some really quirky and amusing animal facts along the way 🙂

‘Seriously, the dung beetle mating ritual – where the male rolls a turd to impress his lady friends – is less predictable than this party.’

Individually, Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy amazing authors, together, they are a force! Both know how to deliver a fabulous NA story, with the side characters often providing as much entertainment as the lead characters. Add in the MM factor, and well, we’re sold!

“You are endlessly fascinating, Keaton Hayworth the third.”

Luke and Keaton are college roommates in the Alpha Delta fraternity. There’s no love lost between them and they couldn’t be more opposite if they tried. Luke is at Darby U on a scholarship that only covers his education and is forced to work every spare hour to make ends meet, and sometimes, food is an option, not a given. Luke doesn’t have time to socialise and is on the outer with most of his frat brothers.

On the surface, Keaton appears to be a silver spoon trust fund baby, and he certainly doesn’t have to worry about where his next meal is coming from. He’s an easy-going popular guy, as sweet as they come, and has been inseparable with his girlfriend, Annika, for five years, who has the same upbringing as Keaton. Yup, Keaton appears to have it all, or does he?

In an effort to boost their sex lives, Annika proposes a threesome with herself, Keaton and another man for her birthday. Keaton’s on board for ‘her sake’ and starts a profile on the Kink app with the handle ‘LobsterShorts‘ and soon meets SinnerThree. They begin messaging, and things take off, with each unknowingly flirting with their sworn enemy! And so the fun, sexiness, and conflicting feelings begin!

“I’m going to put this into terms that you can understand.”
“This better be good.”
“You’re a yellow lab.”
“I’m…what?”
“A dog. A big, happy dog chasing Frisbees on the beach with his pals.
‘I snort. “And you’re .. a pit bull?”
“Not even. I’m a tomcat in the alley, just passing through. No collar, Not very friendly. No good at catching Frisbees…”

There’s a lot of push/pull on Luke’s side, after all, he’s the guarded and untrusting to Keaton’s laid back all in personality. We loved these two who really do show opposites can indeed attract. Watching Luke let down his guard to his once nemesis, truly brings the enemies to lovers factor to a wonderful story

We must point out, this is not a ménage book, and there is no cheating. It’s simply a beautiful story about love, acceptance, and self-discovery. You’ll find how two complete opposites, one bisexual man, and one curious man navigate their way through the obstacles of different upbringings and environments. Trust us, you’ll laugh, love and swoon!

The last part was completely s.w.o.o.n.w.o.r.t.h.y, though we really would’ve loved an epilogue, as the ending felt a bit abrupt. Or..maybe we’re greedy because we’d love to hear more about these gorgeous guys! Top Secret is a delightfully sweet story that will provide your heart with the happiness it deserves!
