Love Surreptitiously
Can a relationship with too many secrets survive?
Sidney Matthews life is in turmoil. She just learned the big promotion she’s been working towards isn’t going to happen. So, what’s a girl to do except drown her sorrows in a bottle and talk to strangers on the train about her woes? It’s cheaper than therapy after all.
Quinlan Montgomery's life has been turned upside down. He just moved across the country to be closer to family and is starting a new job as editor-in-chief for a popular magazine. When he meets an alluring and very candid woman on the train, he’s instantly drawn to her beauty and honesty.
Nobody is more shocked than Quinlan on his first day in the office when he sees the girl from the train again. Except maybe her. Sydney’s his employee. He’s her new boss. And that means their relationship has to be kept a secret.
But what happens when one secret becomes many? Will their connection unravel as their secrets come to light? Or can they find a way to trust one another and rebuild the relationship?

So, if the guy you meet is your boss but you didn’t know it, can you still try a relationship with him? If you’re Sidney and that boss is Quinn, then the answer is yes. After all, he won’t give up until Sidney gives in...and then his secrets come out and Sidney is lost to him.
I love that Sidney didn’t just give in at every turn in this book. Oh, no. She walked away and stayed away until she got all the answers she demanded and deserved to have. And even though Quinn wants so much more, she’s determined to work on HER schedule, not his. And she won’t be pushed into changing her mind.
I’m so glad that we didn’t have doormats or manwhores here. We had realistic issues and arguments and the happy that Sidney and Quinn so richly deserved in the end. It all made for one heck of a read!

A cute forbidden office romance.
I did enjoy this book. Although I feel the characters relationship took off so fast that I didn't get to enjoy the push and pull of do we? Do we not? I also wanted to get to know them a little bit more. But it still was a great read. I recommend to anyone who would enjoy a quick passionate fun office romance!

Sidney Matthews is unhappy with her life at the moment since that promotion she's been working her behind off for isn't happening, so she decides to self medicate & get on the train to tell strangers how bad it is. This is how she meets Quinlan, who just moved across the country for a new job opportunity, and while it was an awkwardly funny meeting, they did have a connection but once the ride is over, they go their separate ways. Fate does have them actually running into each other again, but it's as her boss, so what could go wrong?! It makes for a complicated situation, so if they want to pursue anything, they'll have to keep it on the down low. Plus there are secrets that he has, and she's not willing to settle for less than honesty which made her the kind of heroine I love. Can they work out the issues for a brand new future together?! Hit those one click buttons to find out! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

October 7, 2020Sidney works in content and layout for World Tripping magazine and is up for promotion when the long-time Editor announces that all personnel changes will be put on hold as he retires and introduces a new Editor-in-Chief.
The story of Sidney and Quinn’s secret affair blooms from there - staying late, sneaking kisses behind closed doors, dates far enough from the office that they hope no one will catch them.
Love Surreptitiously was cute, but definitely not my favorite read of the year. The blossoming romance between the two, however, was sweet, and that kept me engaged in the book. And, while absolutely predictable, I truly enjoyed the predictability in the story in this one.

Quinn and Sidney start out with an unforgettable meeting LOL....Their chemistry is off the charts.... I loved this read as I do all the books by this author.... But just how deep are they willing to go?? Quinn wants so much but he's holding back. Sidney feels so much, but she's scared.. The situation isn't the best... There are things he's not ready to share and they almost cost him everything.... Thank God it all worked out and it was a beautiful HEA... Not gonna lie that epilouge made my eyes leak... You will see what I mean.... It was the perfect ending to a beautiful story ...

Love Surreptitiously by Tarrah Anders was a wonderfully sexy and fun contemporary romance. I always enjoy Ms. Ander’s books, and this one was no different- it is definitely one of my favourite reads by her.
From an unexpected encounter on a train, as Sydney vented about her job to a handsome stranger- Sydney and Quinn could have never predicted how their worlds were about to collide. Secret and steam. This is an office romance with all ingredients to make a fun read.
Looking forward to more from Ms. Anders in the near future…
Thank you, Tarrah Anders!

This is one story you are sure to enjoy from the characters, storyline, and lots of steam. Sidney and Quinlan initial meeting is awkward and had me laughing. Yet there are immediate sparks and then they go separate ways. Surprise surprise...Sidney finds out he is her new boss. Their connection is undeniable but trouble looms when secrets kept are exposed. Make sure this is on your tbr so you can find out what happens with these two.

Tarrah writes great feel good, short stories, and this one doesn't disappoint.
I love the trope of boss/employee, and this was a really good take, along with a bit of angst to keep it moving along.
I would recommend anyone to read this.

Prince Charming
This book is about Sidney and Quinlan. She has held the same position as content designer at ‘World Tripping’ (travel magazine) for the last five years, and just found out she isn’t getting the promotion she was working towards. The reason for this is all hush-hush at first, and has something to do with some upcoming personnel changes within the company. Instead of going home straight after work, she stops at a bar and starts drinking, to drown her sorrows.
She takes the train home afterwards and encounters a few characters that probably think she’s a little crazy. The third person that takes the seat beside her lends her an ear to ‘verbal vomit’ about her day. And boy does she let rip! She complains and explains about all the things in her professional and personal life that just aren’t going well. He really asked for it! He kindly escorts her to her home safe and sound. Even her roommate Steph thinks the man is hotness on a stick, but Sidney just doesn’t remember everything.
When she returns to work, the entire staff team are asked to meet the new editor in chief at an off-site location. He introduces himself to everyone, explaining the company changes while he stands on the stage. When Sidney looks at him, she recognises her new boss as the hot and helpful guy from the train… it’s Quinlan.
What follows is a fun and drama-filled journey of discovering and admitting feelings, keeping secrets, being hurt, suspicions, forgiveness and lots of apologies, passion and love. It’s both sweet and steamy, with a lot of fun and funny lines, and great friends along the way. The epilogues were also great, giving an insight into their lives further down the track. I give this book four and a half unapologetic stars.

This is a shorter romance story that I enjoyed from beginning to end. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. I was pulled in right from the beginning. The characters are strong and easy to connect with. They made the story for what it is and so easy to read. This is a well written story that I had a hard time putting down. The details made me feel as if I was part of the story. I enjoyed watching the characters grow throughout the story as well. This is a story about Sidney and Quintan. Sidney has just learned that the promotion she really wanted is not going to happen. As she takes the train home after a few drinks, she complains to anyone who will listen. This is where she meets Quintan. There is a connection between them. What will happen when they learn that he is her new editor in chief? They know they will need to keep their relationship a secret but it is not just one secret that has to be kept. Will they find trust and find their way to a HEA? I enjoyed their chemistry together and I found myself really liking them and want to see them get their HEA. I highly recommend reading their story to find out what happens with them.

Love Surreptitiously
By Tarrah Anders
5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Love Surreptitiously by Tarrah Anders. It is a romantic comedy that I couldn’t put down once I started it. I loved the characters of Sidney Matthews and Quinlan Montgomery. Sidney is a woman who is intelligent, strong, and independent. I like Sidney because she says what she is thinking even if it is a little too honest. There are times in this story that I was smiling or laughing out loud at what she says. Quinlan is a man who is handsome, charming, and doesn’t expect the attraction that he feels for Sidney. He knows what he wants and that is a relationship with her. What does the future hold for Sidney and Quinlan? Will secrets that are being kept end any chance that their relationship will work? Read this book to find out. This story has moments of comedy as well as emotional moments. I grew to care about Sidney and Quinlan with each chapter that I read. There are other characters introduced that I enjoyed reading about the part that they play in the story. The author does an amazing job of making the characters come to life. Don’t miss out on a romance story that you will not want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading this book

What happens when you have a chance of a promotion but in a flash it's gone. Of course get drunk and have a conversation with a stranger on a train, what could go wrong????
Sidney is expecting the editor job, when her boss decides to retire the job becomes available but when a shock announcement rocks her world, she wonders if life is purposely against her. Until she meets a stranger on a train and pours her heart out to him, they only thing will it be a chance meeting or something more.
Quinn has been given the editor job within a World Tripping Magazine and maybe this is the role he has been looking for, until on his first day in walks the girl who he has not been able to stop thinking about since the chance meeting on the train, the only problem is he is the one is bitter towards for taking her job.
As the story continues through you get to see the relationship between they and what can blossom into beautiful partnership. The story is well developed story with brilliantly characters. I love the way the story takes its turns and from enemy to lovers is always a great story.
The chemistry builds and will have you turning the page to see what happens, although it is a bit predictable in the narrative it is a great story.

Love Surreptitiously by Tarrah Anders was a great 5 star read.
I was pulled in right from the start.
I loved Sydney right from the start. She doesn’t get great news at her job and she decides to indulge in some alcohol before heading home. Her train ride home had me LOL. I loved it.
This is where she meets a hot good smelling man that makes sure she gets home safely.
The next morning she and her roommate dub him as “Prince Charming”. When she gets to work they get an email announcing a new boss and this is where it gets even more fun and interesting. Her new boss is “Prince Charming”.
Quinn was pleasantly surprised to see the girl from the train again. Can he convince Sydney to go out with him? What will happen when secrets come out?
Overall I really enjoyed this read and LOL several times. I loved Sydney and her verbal diarrhea and Quinn was great and perfect for her. All of the secondary characters add a great element to the story. If you're looking for a great taboo office romance with humor than 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Love Surreptitiously is a great contemporary romance by Tarrah Anders. I had previously read a few of Tarrah Anders novels and had enjoyed them so was looking forward to more great writing, characters and storyline in this book. I’m glad to say that I got it. This is a really great read.
When a chance meeting on a train on the way home from work sparks interest from both sides, Sidney Matthews and Quinlan Montgomery both brush it aside as they will likely never see each other again. So what happens when they both go to work the next day and discover that Quinlan (Quinn) is Sidney’s new boss?
I thoroughly enjoyed Quinn and Sidney’s story. Their clandestine meetings to try and keep their growing relationship a secret from her friends and colleagues at work. There are some funny moments when they are almost caught in a compromising position.
This book is not all fun and games though, as the path to true love never runs smoothly. Will the secret that Quinn is keeping be just too much for Sidney to deal with? What will happen at work when their secret finally gets out? I definitely recommend that you read this book to get the answers. You will not be disappointed!

After Sidney's chance for a promotion goes down the drain, she does what anyone in her situation would do...she drowns her sorrows and lets her fellow train passengers become her sounding board for what is going wrong in her world. One stranger on that train is Quinlan. He just moved to the city for a new job opportunity and finds himself entranced by the drunk woman. However, they go their separate ways. But fate brings them back together...when Quinn becomes Sidney's boss (and the one who got the promotion she wanted). Their relationship is forbidden...is it worth the risk to keep it a secret? And Quinn has secrets of his own that could end their relationship...which is difficult for a woman like Sidney to accept since she demands honesty.
I loved the interactions between Sidney and Quinn. Sidney is a strong female lead character that doesn't let people walk all over her. She demands answers and doesn't stop until she gets them. There were moments that made me laugh and some that made me tear up. This was a quick read that I thoroughly enjoyed!

Love Surreptitiously

4 stars
I really enjoyed this book – who doesn’t love a forbidden romance read! It had humour and it was entertaining throughout. I have read a few books by this author so I knew I would enjoy it! She had a great writing style that captures your interest from the very beginning, she creates great characters and enjoyable plots and Love Surreptitiously definitely ticked all the boxes on that front! I loved the characters, they made me laugh. Especially Sidney bless her! There was a good amount of chemistry between her and Quinlan, their first meeting was funny! It may have been a little predictable what was going to happen but I didn’t care at all, I loved what I was reading. I think maybe because it was a shorter read it felt a little rushed at times but I didn’t really have a huge impact on the story overall and I would definitely recommend it to other readers!

Although I did love this book and the characters I had a small problem with never really connecting with them, I wish the book had been longer and more time spent on the building of the relationship so that I could have felt the bond between the two. It just happened a bit too fast for me and touched on being predictable.
Now in saying all of that, I loved the writing in this story and Sydney surprised me, I loved her strength and resolve by standing by what she expected from Quin and a relationship. That was definitely different than a lot of other female leads and although I love them all, Sydney might just be up in my favorites.
I Love this author’s books, and even though this might not be my favorite I still completely enjoyed it and would definitely recommend reading it. I was invested in both of these characters, and everything they dealt with felt real, I just wish there had been more.
Can not wait for more from this author!

Oh my goodness, this is one you don’t want to miss. Tarrah Anders is always one of my one-click no questions asked authors for a good romance, but this one exceeded all the expectations. I found myself laughing and pining the whole way through. This book has been very aptly named and the whole love surreptitiously is a perfect idea for a fabulous romance read. We meet Sidney as she is drowning her sorrows over a botched promotional interview. The stranger she chooses to confide in on the train while she is drunk just so happens to turn out to be her new boss. A smexy and well intriguing man too, he snags her attention but she controls the situation. Secrets will attempt to kill the romance before it gets started but we get to follow along on all the perfect and gripping details. I love how I felt as if these two were right there with me and acting out this story before my very eyes. I can’t wait to see what else we will get from Tarrah Anders!

Love Surreptitiously by Tarrah Anders. I thought this book was good. Sidney and Quinlan first meet on a train and she spills her crappy day to him, goes home sleeps it off and the next morning realizes he is her new boss. They both feel an attraction but due to circumstances know its better to leave it alone and not pursue for now. And that’s how the author draws you in- because now you want to know how long they last, do they hook up or is it so much more than that, will it last, are they meant to be? So many questions and all will be answered in the end. This is a good fast paced story filled with drama, great characters, and a well written plot. I enjoyed it and would recommend to others. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I really enjoyed this office romance. The story flows along and easily kept me reading. The characters are fun and inventive and I wondered what they would do next. Quinn was soo soo amazing I had to pinch myself a couple times to get out of my Quinn-stupor. Then I realized he has flaws and secrets....yeah he learns a lesson in a big way. Sidney is the same at times. Quite unbelieving then she does a similar thing....secrets only break things. Gah! Idiots both of them. But they go together so beautifully. I also enjoyed her friends and especially her serial Tinder user and roomie. She added some crazy times to the story.
Overall a quick story by an author whose work I enjoy. I always look forward to see what she will bring me next. Another one that is well done.

Love Surreptitiously by Tarrah Anders is a fun and romantic story perfect for losing yourself in. It is a quick and easy read, exactly what is needed for that lazy afternoon.
I thought the story overall was a fun and entertaining one, if a tad predictable at times. However I thought the characters were strong and well written which made up for that and meant I fully enjoyed the book regardless.
I always enjoy this authors writing style and how each book has a different feel from the last. They are all distinctive and yet have the same common feature about them - the fact that they are all great!! I would definitely suggest you give this author a try and this would be a great book to start with.

Love Surreptitiously by Tarrah Anders
I was intrigued when I read the synopsis. There was something that grabbed me and I'm glad it did. Ms. Anders is a new to me author, so I wasn't sure what her writing style was and was happy from the very beginning with her style. I tend to lean towards the funny and sarcastic characters and Sydney was definitely one of those.
I loved the way Sydney and Quinlan meet, there is something charming and sort of realistic about the scenario. I think of all of the supporting characters Kady was my favorite. I mean who could not love someone who is in the Marvel.
I look forward to browsing through Ms. Anders other books and reading more by her. If any are half as enjoyable as this one i know I will enjoy every moment

Love Surreptitiously
by Tarrah Anders
This book was a quick read for me. I found the story to be fun and romantic. Sidney decides to go have a few drinks after having a really bad day. She finds herself telling all her woes to a stranger she meets on the train. Quinlan is Sidney's new boss and as it turns out is the same man she met on the train when she was drunk. The chemistry between these two is off the charts. There are some hurdles for these two that they have to overcome in order for their relationship to work. I enjoyed this story and read it in one sitting. I recommend this book if you want to find out what happens between these two wonderful characters.

This story about Sidney and Quinlan starts with a chance meeting. Sidney could have never guessed the tall, handsome man she met on the train one night would turn out to be her new boss the next day. Can their chance meeting be for the best, could it turn into something more? How can they manage to keep their attraction a secret from their coworkers? Do they really have what it takes to make it through a rough situation from Quinlan’s past? All these things and more will hook you into the story from the beginning. This is the first book I’ve read by this author. If the rest of her books are this good, I’ll be sure to check out her other books.

Love Surreptitiously by Tarrah Anders. This author has quickly become one of my top favorites. This story was just another fantastic addition to why. The characters have a chemistry that leaps off the pages. Their story is one you don’t want to miss. They pulled me so completely into their world I was happy to get lost with them for a while. This is a shorter read but I didn’t feel it was hindered because of it but I’ll always wish books are longer, that’s just the reader in me. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

This book was about Sidney and Quinlan. Sidney works at a travel magazine and is desperate for a promotion when it is squashed by personnel changes. Quinlan is a man with many secrets who meets Sidney on the train after her crappy day at work.
This book had a captivating storyline, that had me hanging on every. I was hooked from the first page and I couldn’t put it down. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. It occasionally had big plot jumps that didn’t quite flow at the start of some chapters, however I still loved this book.

This was so good. Quinlan and Sidney meet and without knowing much about each other, form a connection. I loved their surprised reactions when they realized they now work together. The story is somewhat forbidden but they can't stay away from each other. What I loved the most was the story is realistic and the characters are relatable. Sidney doesn't just give in because of her attraction to Quin and he is not a bad guy either. They're both lovable. But there are some obstacles in the way and that added to the tension and kept me reading until the end.
