Archer was my brother’s best friend. He had been in our lives since before our parents died, he saw us through the wreckage, and he grew up in my brother’s bedroom playing video games. He should have felt like a brother to me. But he never did. New Year’s Eve changed everything.Hell wasn’t pining after your brother’s best friend in secret for years on end. Hell wasn’t wondering if he even noticed … if he even noticed you when you passed him in the hallway at midnight.
No, that wasn’t hell. Hell was knowing how well you fit with someone and not being able to do a damn thing about it. We knew what we were doing. We knew someone would get hurt, but the attraction was too strong.
And we were both too weak.
You can’t keep 2am secrets forever…and when ours crashed, they burned.

2am Secrets
By M. Piper
5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading 2am Secrets by M. Piper. The story is romantic as well as steamy. The temperature in the room will rise when reading. I was pulled in from the beginning and didn’t want to put the book down until I had read the last page. I loved reading about the main characters. She has a crush on her brother’s best friend. He feels the same way about her. There is a strong attraction and the chemistry between them is off the charts. They fit together. They also are keeping their attraction secret from her brother. What would happen if her brother found out? What does the future hold for the two of them? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had my emotions going up and down the whole way through. There are heartbreaking moments as well as heartwarming ones. I enjoyed reading about the main characters and I was rooting for them to find happiness. I also enjoyed reading about the other characters introduced. The author does a wonderful job of writing a story that had me reading into the night in order to find out what happens. I would highly recommend reading this book.

Received ARC from Author for Honest Review.
I Give this Book a 3.5-4/5 Star Rating, Listing as 4.
HEA(?): Yes! There is an Epilogue, but I wish there was an Extended Epilogue cause it feels like it really needed it.
Heat: 4/5
Romance: 4/5
Drama: 4/5
Suspense: 3.5/5
No Spoilers.
The Synopsis is what caught my attention, but I did have trouble with the beginning of the story, it was very busy.
Too much was going on, it’s like your in the room of a loud and crowded party and your trying to tell a story quietly amongst them so the storyline was hard to pick up.
But after the first few chapters it went on very well and to me this was a good story!
I look forward to reading more from M.Piper 🙂
I received this book as an ARC, this book was so hard to put down when adulting needed to be done. This book is a forbidden brothers best friend romance, so just like anything forbidden it makes it that much hotter. Sadie was such a lovable character, she was so spunky, and so caring. She always put everyone before herself. Archer is definitely my new book boyfriend. He was so caring and so understanding with Sadie. He too wanted to always help everyone else. I was definably swooning soon after he meeting him. I loved how he was just straight up about his feelings for Sadie, he did not play around and was so dedicated to Sadie. The love scenes were so steamy, I am sure I blushed a few times. This book was so amazing and I will defiantly be recommending it.
Another new author for me and I loved every minute of it!!!!
A fantastic brothers best friend romance that I devoured in a matter of hours, once I started i just couldnt stop, the words flow effortlessly and keep you enthralled throughout.
I loved the push and pull between archer and sadie they definitely keep you on your toes…..
All in all a fantastic quick read with the right amount of angst and alot of steam !!!!
Sadie and Archer have intense chemistry but there one problem Archer is Sadie’s brother Sam’ best friend which means he is totally off limits. Sadie keeps trying to deny her intense attraction for Archer but they can’t and have a wild New Years celebration Sadie thinks that would be enough but she was so wrong. Can Archer and Sadie be together or will Sam make it impossible? Great characters and storyline. Highly recommended. Great story.
This book was fantastic – the perfect mix of sweet and hot and spicy! It was the first one of M. Piper’s that I have read but it won’t be the last! I have always been a fan of the forbidden love/best friend scenario and this one is written to perfection! I loved the dual POV and the fact that Archer was a strong alpha male but that didn’t mean Sadie was a weak female – that girl could hold her own! Highly recommended!
I’m a giant fan of the brothers best friends books; and this one in no exception!! There is plenty of drama, plenty of heat, and plenty of chemistry! But its emotional as well. The issues that Sam has are very real but rope you into the story line of the book. This is an amazing book and the story thats told to you for Sadie and Archer is a new favorite of mine. A best read this year by far!!!!
2am Secrets by M. Piper is the first book I’ve read by this author but it most certainly won’t be the last. This book was so great and I loved every minute of it. I couldn’t put it down!
Sadie knows that her feelings for Archer could cause a lot of issues. After all, he is her brother’s best friend. She can’t help how she feels though. One night changed everything and as much as she knew it was wrong, she couldn’t stay away from him. Nothing stays secret forever though.
I absolutely loved these characters and their story. The book was so well written you felt part of the story. So many emotions and so much feeling! I didn’t want the story to end!
2am Secrets by M. Piper was a hot and steamy forbidden romance! Sadie and Sam are twins who have one rule when it comes to relationships, friends are off the table. Too bad Sam’s best friend is all Sadie wants. The author did a great job with character building. In the end, I wanted to know more about what happened to Sadie, Archer, and especially Sam. There was so much chemistry and emotion in this story. I hope we get more on these characters.
If you’re into the romance with a sibling’s best friend this is your book! You’ll love this steamy page-turner, You get the family Drama and the Sibling best friend Romance as well. The characters are very well developed and you’ll love Following Sadie the main character as she crushes on her Brother’s best friend Archer, Find out what happens between these two crazy kids by getting this book and falling into the pages as I did.
I loved everything about this book, there was much hidden chemistry there was between Sadie and Archer and how they had to hide their love for each other from her brother Sam. Sadie and Sam made a pact forever ago that they couldn’t date one another’s friends because they’re twins so its only fair. But her love for Archer was too strong and they couldn’t handle not being together anymore. This was such a great read; I recommend this to anyone who loves a good romance book. I can’t wait to see what else this author brings to us.
If you are craving a good romantic novel to escape from the real world, pick up this book now!
2AM secrets is a book that grabbed my attention from the first page or two, the main characters Archer and Sadie are complex and have a depth to them that I feel characters can lack in romance books so I loved following their steamy relationship full of desire and forbidden passion. M. Piper has a way of setting the scene quite intensely so its easy to get lost in her words. The background plot was a great way of helping to make the story very believable and relatable. I think a good way of knowing if a book is great is asking yourself if you would read it again and I will read this again.

This is my first read by this author and I loved it!!! I adore the off limits kind of stories, and the brothers best friend is one of my favorites.
This was an awesome book, it pulled at every emotion I had and these characters..every one of them, I fell head over heels for them. This was a unique story with a perfect story flow and the ending.. ** sigh ** Now I’m hoping Sam gets to tell his story in his own book..
I will absolutely be looking up more of this authors books, not sure why I haven’t already read them but that will be remedied soon.
Awesome Loved it!!

5+++ stars
OMG what an emotional read this was! My final words were, in order, “omg yay!” and “is there going to be a second book about Sam?”
This is one.of if not the top favorite trope of mine in romance books. The brothers best friend and while there are many, this one was on a whole other level. We aren’t teased with the build up it was hot from beginning to end, but real life is also woven into this story and done so well. You could feel the emotions and intensity of everything pouring off the pages.
I love Sadie and her strength. And while she doesn’t ask for it she takes the strength Archer gives to her well and they were perfect. I cried, I laughed and i wanted to beat a character a time or two but its all needed for this story to be the amazing work it is.
2am Secrets by M. Piper is the first book that I have read by this author and judging by how much I enjoyed this one, it won’t be the last. I’m always pensive about trying a new author but I needn’t have worried as I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Sadie Richards and her twin brother Sam lost their parents at a young age and have been brought up by their grandmother, who is now in ill health. Sam’s best friend Archer Crowe was also instrumental in getting Sam through his parent’s death.
For years there has been a fire simmering between Sadie and Archer, who finally decides one New Year that he’s had enough of waiting and makes a move on Sadie. Sadie would like nothing better than having a relationship with archer but knows that her brother would be livid and they don’t want to upset him as he’s struggling to cope with their grandmother’s ill health. I must add that their grandmother Mimi is the most amazing character. Nothing gets past this woman and she’s just wonderful.
This is a fantastic story filled with love romance and a good deal of angst. Both Sadie and Archer are desperate to be together but don’t want to rock the boat. Can they be together and have a HEA? Will Sam freak out when he finds out about their relationship? I really suggest that you read this book and find out?
2AM Secrets by M. Piper
4 of 5 Stars
I loved this forbidden romance story, Sadie and Archer have sizzling chemistry but Sadie’s overprotective twin brother Sam is also Archers best friend and the two have kept their attraction to each other to themselves for years. Having stopped fighting their attraction and chemistry during a New Years Eve party and spending the night together the two then can’t deny that they have something special and that it was more than a one night stand. However keeping it a secret from everyone so as not to hurt Sam, who seems to be on self destruct, puts a strain on their new relationship and once their secret is out, can any of them survive the fall out.
This was a forbidden romance but with enough twists in the storyline to keep it unpredictable and it also touched on sensitive issues such as bereavement, ill health and addiction. The characters which I fell in love with are likeable and realistic and I was fully immersed in their world whilst reading the book. This book was full of drama, romance, steamy sex scenes and took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it. I was cheering Sadie and Archer on, wanting them to have their HEA. I could not put this book down and I’m looking forward to reading more books by M.Piper.
M. Piper is a new author to me and I jumped into the book without blinders on. There comes a point in people’s lives that no one wants to admit. There is an attraction to your sibling’s best friend. You try to ignore it because you do not want to hurt their relationship, but on the inside you want that person. That is the kind of love 2AM Secrets is about. Sadie and Sam are twins and they promised each other no relationships with the other’s friends. They were off limits. That was until Sadie started to have feelings for Archer (who happens to be Sam’s best friend).Both tried to stay away from each other, but the attraction was strong. Will Sadie and Archer give in to the attraction? Will they be able to keep the secret from Sam? You will have to read this story to find out this information and more.
Sadie grew up alongside her brother’s best friend, Archer. Archer should’ve been like a big brother to her but she never saw him like that. She saw the good in him through everything bad that was happening in her life and he saw her through all the storms she’d been through.
One New Year’s changed everything in their relationship as they knew it. Sadie has been wanting Archer ever since she could remember. She’d been craving for him to notice and want him just as bad as she wanted him. She’d experienced hell in not knowing how to make her dreams a reality as far as he was concerned. As soon as those dreams do become reality, someone was doomed to get hurt and expose their 2AM secrets into the dawn of day.
This story is full of steamy scenes where you’re vying for the characters to get together and you’re rooting for their best interest. This is a great book to read and get into. I couldn’t put this one down. Chapter after chapter, I was glued to the page!
Another fantastic book from this author! I adored Archer. Such a caring guy who just wants to do the right thing, but also wants the girl he’s dreamed of for so long.
And Sadie is this kickass, determined gal who struggles with her feelings for Archer and not wanting to upset her brother.
Sam has his issues. He’s not only determined to keep men away from his twin sister, he’s also struggling with the deteriorating health of his grandmother. He and Sadie take turns watching her, but it’s taking its toll on their relationship.
I loved watching Sadie open up to Archer and allow herself to be loved. Her relationship with Mimi (their grandmother) was cute; she’s quite the character.
I also have to give mention to Rory, Sadie’s friend. I’m hoping she will get a story of her own because she was just as kickass as Sadie!
Great story that will have you grinning one minute, swooning the next, and then maybe cursing a little too
