Sin City Heat #3

No Secrets No Lies

Rate this book
Ex-football legend Amir Montgomery is the man every woman wants and every man wants to be. When his ex-fiancée dumped him because of cheating, Amir decided to live life his no excuses, no explanations, and no apologies.

Women vow to tame the notorious bad boy and be the one to make him finally settle down. There’s just one settling down again is not in Amir’s game plan. At least not until a fling from the past catapults his world into a tailspin.

Darrell and Jerra Monroe have had their share of challenges in the short time they’ve been together, but those situations have only served to make the relationship between them stronger. The only thing Darrell has ever asked of his wife is to be honest and truthful and he will do the same. Anything broken can be fixed as long as the trust is there. The outside world is cold enough without having to watch his back with the one person whom he should be able to trust above all others. But the one thing he asked for is the one thing Jerra didn’t give.

There’s a thin line between secrets and lies, and that line has been crossed in more ways than one. For every act, there is a consequence. The result just depends on the nature of the beast – and how forgiving it feels like being on any given day.

BRIEF SUMMARY
Amir is an ex NFL star; he loves the ladies and the ladies loves him. After his break up with his ex fiancée he seems to can't get enough of the ladies until someone from his past enters his life again. Darrell and Jerra’s marriage is in a good place, until both their past comes back into play.


THOUGHTS
Another excellent book by the author and I expect no less. This book exceeds my expectation and then some with secrets, lies and twists that took place. This story for me does deserve another 10 star rating. I definitely would say to the reader who comes across this book that it probably could be a stand alone, but would highly recommend and advise reading the first 3 books in the (Sin City Heats series).

I was not a fan of Amir in book 1, but he definitely redeems himself. The relationship with Alexis and himself came full circle and I loved it. When I think of Amir, the word that comes to mind is, DANG. I think Amir could give Darrell a run for his money; they are too yummy to be on paper. I loved reading about their past and present, it was exciting as well as the twist the author created for Alexis later on in the story. With Amir and Alexis’ story, there are a couple things I want to say. I remembered Atlanta's freak week, I use to hear a lot of crazy stories, but they don't have it anymore. And how cute was Michael and Destiny at the picnic. I don't want to give away who they are in the story, but they were just adorable. I could see a story for them down the road all grown up.

Darrell and Jerra's story was crazy and I don't think I can ever get enough of them and the whole gang. This story also dealt with both character’s past coming full circle, along with the importance of trust. With Jerra's story, I loved her reunion, and without saying too much, I admired Robert and I liked him. Darrell had to go and get closure on his past as well and you will know more about his past reading The Beginning of an Eclipse.

I look forward to Angel's story. I know he has some bad boy in him but I can't wait to see who tames him. With fingers crossed, I'm hopping it will be Gabrielle, Darrell's sister.

Storyline: GREAT
Intimacy: D.R.I.P/ GOOD
Enjoyment: OFF the CHARTS

This series just gets better and better as it goes along. Amir Wow! He totally shocked me with his actions, and it was surely a pleasant surprise. Him and Alexis were just so cute together and their back story was just hot! The gang was up to their usual tricks. Darrell and Marcus those two are thick as thieves, and it is great to see how they have one anothers back through everything . SK really brought the heat in this book. The sex scenes were really off the charts. They will certainly have you squirming in your chair. I can't wait to read more in this series.

In this third installment of the reverting Sin City series, we learn that everyone has secrets and sometimes lies are told to keep them buried. But what happens when secrets get unearthed and no amount of lies can keep them hidden?

Ex football star, Amir Montgomery is living it up and moving fast after his break with his ex fiancee, Aleesha. When a past indiscretion comes full circle and his life takes a 360, will he slow down..even when 3 degrees of separation becomes his reality?

Jerra is also dealing with issues from her past as her omissions of truth to her husband blow up in her face; she just needed time, but time just isn't on her side. Darrell is a man with a checkered past of his own to deal with as well, that comes back to him in a haunting way. But will his marriage withstand the test of time after all the secrets and lies are revealed?


Ohhh, I loved this book! Rarely do many series keep the momentum which was generated by the first book, but I have to say SK put her foot in this one! Dang, the title was spot on: there were so many secrets to come to light and the lies that were told to keep em added to the development of the plot. I loved how the plot gave way to various characters' drama. Its like when you think its about to settle down, here comes more secrets to slap you in the face and make you say "wtfffff". I also enjoyed catching up on all the charaters and what has been going on in their lives. One thing I love is that SK's timeline is on point and the same details from other books were the same in this one. For example, how long characters have been married, the amount of years that have pass by since secrets were formed, the ages of children, etc. I can't stand when an author changes up details or seemingly forget lapses in time that were in their other books in the series. This was a really good read..on to book 4.

I was chomping at the bit to get this book and it was so worth the wait. I simply love my Sin City Series crew. They are truly my favorites right now and I'm addicted like a crack addict. SK did a fantastic job, as usually, delivering a excellent page turner. Amir redeems himself, Darryl and Jerra have to deal with unforeseen issue in their relationship that could very well tear them apart, Keisha and Dom have a surprise and Aleesha and Marcus are in for a unexpected revelation. All of this will have you glued to the story to the very end. I love all of the couples in this series, however Darrell and Jerra hold a special place in my heart, because their love is so intense. There are some surprises that are definitely six degrees of separation or that will have you thinking it really is a small world. I absolutely recommend this story along with all of the others and I am anxiously anticipating the next installment!! Way to go SK! You delivered, even though you were so cruel with the teasers.....all is forgiven as long as I don't have to go into cardiac arrest waiting for the next one.....LOL ;-)

No secretes no lies is a good title for this book because that is what is revealed in this book . Everyone has secrets in one form or another and sometimes they lie even if it is a lie of omission. Amir's life was as lie as he knew until he he hooked back up with Alexis and he was a better man for it. I did not like Amir when I first started this book but I fell in love with him once I read his story I understood why he did the things he did. Darrel and Jerra every ones favorites Have some very serious problems due to lies of omission. Will they find their way through their problems? You have read the book to find out, but Let me tell you this they are as sexy as ever. Sk takes you on a emotional ride in this book that makes you feel like you have the sweetest hangover and like the song says *I don't want to get over*. I could not wait for this book and when I got my hands on it I could not put it down until I read the last page.

WOW! That is the only word that comes to mind after reading this book! I think this is by far the BEST book in the series! After reading the first book Buried Secrets, I really hated Amir Montgomery but he redeems himself in this book and you just fall in love with him! Darrell and Jerra are still going through some things and you get the surprise of a lifetime (even though I expected it)! Talk about 6 degrees of seperation, this book will have your mouth hanging open and it has all of those "WTF", and "OMG" moments that you will love! This is a exciting page turner that will have you wanting more! SK has done it again with another sizzling book to add to this wonderful series!

Ok where do I start....Too many buried secrets way too many. Relationships will die and some will survive. :-)Too many deceit from past relationships that comes forward that causes nuff conflict. At the end of the day life must go on. I must say although my fave character was no talked about much in this book I must say I love me some Angel. lol and of course Dominick and Darrell and Marcus and...kidding. Excellent read. Now on to Angel's Wrath *I am all smiles*

Secrets and Lies

In rereading the Sin City Heat Series, I skipped No Secrets, No Lies in order to reread Angel's Wrath. Even though I've read the entire series, I decided to reread them all. I really wanted to skip the rest because The Pattels 2: Lorenzo & Ceecee is out and I've been waitin g 10 months for it. However, I decided to keep reading in order because I read Angel's Wrath out of order and I needed to refresh my memory of Darrell and his mother and the Pattels and Lorenzo.

I'm glad that I continued to reread. Marcus found his sister who is in love with Amir, Aleesha fiancee in the first Sin City book - Marcus wasn't happy about it. I loved rereading about Jerra's secret concerning her daughter and her adopted father. Darrell found out before Jerra was ready to tell him which caused a big problem. Before they could deal with it, Darrell discovered Roni wasn't dead and off he went. This only caused more problems between Jerra and Darrell. This wasn't as long as previous novels in the series. The sex was as erotic and I only read to finish it.

As usual, everything worked out. At least, so far. Since I reread Angel's Wrath out of order, I can't wait to find out about the secret Aleesha is keeping from Marcus which he discovered while on Angel's island at his marriage. On to Shadows of Deceit.

Secrets

Can destroy everything you've built. This book is a page turner like the others in this series. Jerra is so strong and yet so fragile. I can't begin to imagine the guilt she carried with her for so long. My heart went out to her. Darrell has a lot of unresolved issues that he's going to have to address from his childhood. Marcus is the quiet one, but you do not want to cross his. Aleesha will definitely fight for her man. Dominick loves his family and will go to the ends of the earth for them. Keisha is the hot head that will act first and ask questions.

Love it!

Wow! Amir and Alexis! That's something else. I'm still in shock, Marcus sister. Too bad Marcus will have to swallow his pride on this one, no matter how their first encounter went down. Roni is a small stepping stone when it comes to Darrell but he would have to for Jerra's heart.

Lawddddddd......What a Ride!!!!!!!

I honestly feel as if I am a part of this clique here and I can't help it because they are like your friends and everybody is tight and going through stuff. Everybody working together it's just amazing but my goodness talk about drama, secrets and omg moments, after reading this story you will know why.

The title of book 3 "No Secrets No Lies" was properly titled because you talk about the door being flung wide open and the secrets come tumbling out, I just about franking fainted. You could not have foreseen the things that transpired in this story and all I can say is Author S.K. did her damn thing writing this story.

Let me start off by saying it was great reading about Amir again because I felt like he needed redemption, yes I know I was hot as hades when he cheated on Aleesha but you can tell there was still such a restlessness about him. He appeared to have everything but yet was just still missing the mark somehow. And when we revisit Amir aka Mir we now see why. Amir met the right woman Alexis 10 years ago (his true soul mate) and in his foolishness, arrogance and plain old immaturity he blew it and he blew it big time. After searching for her it was like she disappeared off the face of the earth and now 10 years have passed and she is back. Will Amir get a much needed chance to make right the wrongs in his life? Will Alexis believe Amir that he is not the same person? Or will a secrets keep these two forever apart?

Jerra and Darrell take center stage too, we all know from reading the previous stories that Jerra has a secret that she hasn't told Darrell and she has been saying she will tell him. But with anything if you delay telling the truth, the inevitable will happen and that is all will come out and there is nothing you can do once that train has derailed off of the track hurtling and full speed about to cause massive destruction. The whole thing blew up in Jerra's face, the emotions were so real you felt as if you were there witnessing the whole thing and at the same time wished that you can disappear. When Jerra should have come to her husband and tell him the truth and her friends told her the same thing but now it was too late. The truth is out and the next hard question is, Will Darrell forgive her for keeping it from him?

Marcus is reunited with his long lost sister whom he was separated from because the couple that adopted her didn't adopt him too. Well surprise, surprise and I will leave it at that.

Another shocker came for Darrell and it blew my mind, so much so that I was contemplating some serious decisions for him lol!!!

And we get to see Bryan again, it was good to see that he was doing well.

Lookie, lookie Angel makes an appearance although it was brief (his story is next "Angel's Wrath) I was totally unprepared for the glimpse that I got from him, I am still stunned and that is putting it mildly. This man is more complicated and more dangerous than I realized, he is like an octopus the reach that he has is astounding and I have a feeling once I begin his story, I will be completely flabbergasted with him.

Well until my next review Ciao Bellas!

Book Summary below from Goodreads
Ex-football legend Amir Montgomery is the man every woman wants and every man wants to be. When his ex-fiancée dumped him because of cheating, Amir decided to live life his way: no excuses, no explanations, and no apologies.

Women vow to tame the notorious bad boy and be the one to make him finally settle down. There’s just one problem: settling down again is not in Amir’s game plan. At least not until a fling from the past catapults his world into a tailspin.

Darrell and Jerra Monroe have had their share of challenges in the short time they’ve been together, but those situations have only served to make the relationship between them stronger. The only thing Darrell has ever asked of his wife is to be honest and truthful and he will do the same. Anything broken can be fixed as long as the trust is there. The outside world is cold enough without having to watch his back with the one person whom he should be able to trust above all others. But the one thing he asked for is the one thing Jerra didn’t give.

There’s a thin line between secrets and lies, and that line has been crossed in more ways than one. For every act, there is a consequence. The result just depends on the nature of the beast – and how forgiving it feels like being on any given day

This is book three in the Sin City Heat series and this where you meet Amir again along with Alexis. Alexis and Amir met ten years ago when there were in college and they meet up again when her co-worker invited her to dinner at her house. When she sees him again after all this time she doesn’t want anything to do with him but he is determined to have her in his life. The chemistry between the both of them is still there even after ten years. Also you get caught up with Jerra & Marcus as they go through some obstacles in their marriage. I loved this one and it didn’t take me long to finish this one at all. I was surprised by some of the things that happened in this book. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series.

Amir Montgomery is straight up ladies man. After his break-up with his fiancee he went wild. He didn't want to settle down and had no plans on doing that anytime soon that is until a blast from the past came back. This just maybe the woman that almost got away. Well back in Vegas the truth comes out about Jerra's child and Darryl is not to thrilled. Excellent book comes highly recommended!!

S.K. has done it again! I was hooked from the start and wanted to know what was going to happen to the couples in the book. I found myself trying to slow down so I could keep this story around for longer, but I just had to know what would happen next. There were times when some of the characters made me mad and then those same characters I loved them. Well written and a story that kept me reading. I am looking forward to the next book in the series and other reads from S.K.

Intresting

The third story featured Amir and Aexis. It had been ten years since they had seen one another, after a one night stand. He also had many surprises in store. Then we also visited with Marcus, Soul, Sharon, Bryan,Keisha, Dom, Aleesha, Darrell and Jerra. The section with Darrell and Jerra had me all in my feelings. Not sure what that deal with Roni was about. It certainly added drama to the story. Overall a good read. Ready for part 4.

I think this one is my favorite in the series thus far, although I love them all. It is just something about the way the relationships are tested that got me. I am falling more and more in love with their stories. This series is one of the best I've read in a long time! On to the next...
