(Forbidden Confessions #1)

A short-story erotic romance from Shayla Black:
I’m Kayla.
I’m twenty one.
I’m afraid because ever since a sudden, terrible tragedy, I’m alone in the world—except for my brother’s best friend. But now Oliver intends to move back to London.
I’m in love with him. And I have to persuade him to stay…somehow.

I liked the h and the H individually, but never really warmed up to them as a couple. Oliver is a very hot man. The words that would come out of his mouth left me breathless. Unfortunately, the storyline just felt weak. So weak. Anyway, the book was an enjoyable quick and smutty read. I do recommend but only for those who don't mind less romance and more rough, wild sex!

1.5 I've loved you since I met you but I still sexed up other women...oh and I'm and asshole stars.
What a disappointment. Shayla is my go to guilty pleasure author and very rarely has she ever let me down but this book was a BIG, HUGE, MONUMENTAL let down.
The Hero was a complete asshole...a wonderful dirty talker but still an asshole. He was extremely rough with the heroine (borderline sadist) their first time and provided NO after care. I can't for the life of me figure out what the heroine saw ...more

This fun novella is hot and steamy. Make sure you have a fan near you. The majority of this dirty book is about Kayla and Oliver getting it on... and on... and on. My only wish is that it was longer so that we could better understand the characters. I recommend this to anyone that just wants a quick smutty read.

So this was a very quick read. One night to be exact. Okay, there's a paragraph or two at the end that's Seven weeks later ... but really we're talking one night. That being said, you get exactly what is promised in the blurb: short and erotic, but not romantic really. I mean to call this a romance story is pretty ridic. Because, well, there's no story LOL

Part of this is my fault. I didn't realize it was so short. If I did, I never would have read this because I would have known that so few pages would leave me unsatisfied. That's exactly what happened. It was ok, smutty, and had an epilogue but with so few pages I was disappointed.

Marie's Tempting Reads ARC Review:
This novella was freaking WICKEDLY HOT AND STEAMY! It was fast-paced and dirty and just SO FREAKING GOOD! I LOVE Shayla Black! Her writing is always sensual and her characters are just pure perfection. And Kayla and Oliver were absolutely SIZZLING together. His Undeniable Secret is one novella that will require a fan, ice water, and a change of panties.

Man... how to review such a short story. Let's try this... smut smut smut smut smuuuutttty smut smut. My smutty friends will jump right on this little story. It's hard to call it a story because, let's face it, there just wasn't a lot of meat to grab on to. Well, there was. But it wasn't the meat of the story. This was a super quick read, only about 15 minutes, that is perfect if you are looking for some inspiration before hitting the sheets.

He likes his sex a little on the dark side and doesn't think he would be good for her. When he notices a picture of her on her phone taken by a guy she knows, he goes crazy.

His Undeniable Secret was a short smutfest of a read, just like the blurb suggested!
Taking place over an evening, with a very quick epilogue, this tale could have been expanded to give us a full back story, character depth, connection and interest and it would have been a really good read.
As it was, I thought it was a decent quick, down and dirty read that filled a half hour of my evening!!!

Wow! Want a quick, steamy read? This is for you! I recommend not reading this in public. Seriously, I actually moaned from the intensity and got a few stares.
Oliver and Kayla heat up the pages in this wickedly, sexy story. After Kayla's Mom left her, Kayla stayed with her brother and his best friend, Oliver. When Kayla's brother tragically passes away she leans on Oliver. It becomes too much for Oliver, he wants her but doesn't want to ruin her so he decides to go back to England. Kayla has oth ...more

This is a hard review for me. For readers who just want a quick read with no meat to the story, this read is for you. This will only take 20 minutes at the most to read.
I enjoy reading stories by Shayla Black and was excited for the opportunity to review. This story just wasn't for me. I needed more of a back story to Oliver and Kayla.

I love Shayla Black! She knows how to write erotic romance. This was a hot, sexy, and insanely panty-melting short! It's hard to incorporate a full in-depth account of a relationship within this short of a story, but it is not needed since it's clear that Oliver and Kayla have a history. This is just the one night that they finally give in to their attraction. I always love best friend's little sister romances, and Oliver and Kayla are clearly perfect for each other. Get your partner ready, beca

This little novella is so short and right to the point. The thing that might save it a little bit, because there is no time to really build things up, is the fact that we are made aware right off the bat that Oliver and Kayla already have some history because Oliver is her brothers best friend. This is a steamy little read. That is basically this book’s purpose so if that isn’t what you are looking for, you might want to pass. If a little steam is what you need, then don’t hesitate to read it. I

This short story was so well told. I'm not usually a short story person since they never give me enough details and I always want more. This short story though was amazing! It had everything from a great story to hot and steamy scenes. Kayla and Oliver have been in love with each other forever, but it never came out until Olive decides to return home after Kayla's brother dies. Kayla can't be without Oliver. They finally get their wish fulfilled and find that they both feel the same way. I loved

A fantastic best-friend's little sister romance. Full of sexual tension and denial until they can deny it no more.
Kayla and Oliver are a mixture of sweet, sexy, dark and dirty. If you're in need of a Shayla fix, His Undeniable Secret will take the edge off. It's the true definition of quickie, but so damn satisfying. ~ Missy, 5 stars

Disappointed
A friend referred this books to me and I confess must disappointed.
Quick read, smutty, dialogue not at all believable, and zero character development. This is a short story, not a book.

I pretty much devour anything and everything that Shayla writes and I couldn't wait to read Kayla and Oliver's story. I loved that this was a friends to lovers story with a whole lot of sizzle. And I mean steamy. Shayla is just so good at giving scorch. Oliver once given an open door morphs into this delicious bossy man who is completely obsessed with Kayla. I wanted more of them and so enjoyed their story.
