This is the next installment of Dylan and Emily’s story I was so excited thinking this was the conclusion but sadly it’s not. With more happiness and pleasure Dylan and Emily are happy, But Dylan need that contract to keep things separate so as time comes to the end will Emily sign the contract or will she walk out again. But sadly before anything like that can happen secrets are revealed. What will happen in the next story hopefully the conclusion to the story. I am fully enjoying this series it’s sexy, hot, suspenseful, romantic and sad. I love everything Summer Cooper writes.
And the story continues…
Stephanie (Emily) comes back to Dylan and seeks him out. Stephanie agrees to no contract for a month, and then they can see how things are going at the end of the month. Stephanie needs to come clean about who she is, but can she come clean now and still not lose what she has with Dylan? Or will Dylan understand?
Dylan wants Stephanie in his life, but how does he admit that? How can he have a relationship with this woman and not have a contract? He knows she is hiding something, but not sure what. The Dom in him wants her to come clean…one way or another. But what if it destroys their relationship?
This series is a dark intense romance that pushes you to your limits. But with each installment comes a deeper level of understanding of Stephanie/Emily and Dylan and each of their pasts. They explore each other and get deeper into the BDSM world as it relates to them and how they want to explore that aspect. I can’t wait to see where this story goes and what is in store for Emily and Dylan!! I received an ARC of this book from the author.
A truly thrilling, emotionally charged and action packed darkly suspenseful journey filled with so many exciting twists and turns that it will leave your breathless… could not put it down. Quick yet highly entertaining read
This series is TOtALLY adictive and each page I turn gives me more satisfaction as well as more frustration as I imerse myself in the story of Emily and Dylan. Never have I read about a couple where I was able to keep my interest through not only one cliffhanger but three if you count the ending to this book. Poor Emily still has not been able to tell Dylan her real name or who she is because she is afraid of losing the only person in her life (except for Roxie) now that her family has disowned her. Poor Dylan has kept his own secrets from Stephanie/Emily and what will his and her secrets do to their relationship if they are ever revealed? Do yourself a favor and buy every book in this series so you can IMMEDIALELY read each book, in order by page after wonderful page.
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and totally voluntary review.
Wow – just when you think everything is going to work between Emily/Stephanie and Dylan – bam! The rug is pulled out from underneath them and you are left hanging until the next book! The anticipation is mounting and their story is addicting. A must read for all!
My heart is pounding, as I write my review, for this incredibly crafted book. Dark secret is everything that its name implies. I have been an avid fan of Ms. Summer Cooper for years. To me, personally, she is an Author, head and shoulders, above the rest. Everything she publishes is amazing. However, with the creation of this series, I’m sure she’s picked up quite a few new fans. This is the latest installment to a superior series and it just keeps getting better, trust that I did not think that was even possible. As Dylan and Emily grow closer as a couple, it is revealed that Dylan has health issues, although, we don’t know what they are, at this time and Emily just wants to love him; contract or not. While you would think their bond is unbreakable, Dylan has just learned her identity. I encourage all fence of dark romance, to follow along as these to fight for their happily ever after. I truly do not want to give too much information away, however, I will tell you this book, as well as series, is worth your time and will have you hooked from page one.
I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced reader’s copy of Dark Secret in exchange for my honest & voluntarily given opinion. I couldn’t recommend this series / book more. In fact, anything she publishes is a must-read. Right now, in fact, I’m going to download & consume every word of the next installment to this series.
I made this a 5 star because it was frustrating.. Lol. It’s another piece of the story. “Stephanie” and Dylan go thru so much in this one… back and forth.. back and forth. I don’t want to say to much but it is just more to this great story!! Definitely keep reading (: I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
Dark Secret is book three in the Dark Series and WOW what an ending! Emily is trying to keep her secret from Dylan and he has a secret of his own. Just when they realize how they feel each other secrets are revealed. This book had me on the edge of my seat from the start. The storyline is great and there’s so much going on in this book but I definitely recommend you read the first two books before this one to get the whole story. This is a well written, steamy read with two characters that have off the chart chemistry. It ends in a cliffhanger so I anxiously await the next book.
The intensity between ” Stephaine ” a.k.a Emily and Dylan continue to grow as well as the emotional struggles!
The secrets they carry are just sitting below the surface threating to destroy the happiness thats just beginning.
With contracts up in the air, deals being made, curveballs thrown and family drama rearing its ugly head… its a mess!
Hot and heart heavy- the plot twists continue with a frustrating edge! The back and forth between Emily and Dylan is enough to drive me mad!
I have become soooo invested in the dark, twisted emotional whirlwind these two are caught up in- I need the final book right now(!) just to put the characters and myself out of their misery. ( LOL I need a life )
Summer Cooper has written a book I have a love filled with frustration relationship with- I highly recommend getting caught up in the madness yourself!
Dark Secret
This cannot be the end for these two lovers!
By sewsummore
In this book Stephanie learns more about Dylan’s past and understands why he is like he is. She yearns to heal his pain from the past. They agree to spend two weeks together with out a contract and Dylan finds himself falling deeper in love and drawns up a new contract, very different from the last. Everything is great between them until he learns who she is, then it is all over! I cannot imagine the pain they both are feeling at this time. Inside each of them is a terrible need to love and be loved, this cannot be the end for these too lovers!
I received a free ARC copy of this book and have voluntarily read and honestly reviewed this book.
We are back with Dylan and Stephanie/Emily and things are moving along quite smoothly, still anticipating the next contract. We know when things are good, there’s bound to be some boulder thrown in their path. BAM! It’s heartbreaking but if they would just learn to talk to each other rather than run opposite directions, they might be able to understand each other‘s positions.
Although these characters don’t seem to be in a hurry, I’m on the edge of my seat waiting until the next book.
This an amazing third in the series. It is a well written suspenseful, exciting, emotionally engaging romance with great twists and surprises. The characters are well developed with explosive intense chemistry, sexual tension, and passion. I am on the edge of my seat as Dylan with his secrets, is having issues with his back and legs and struggling with flashbacks of his childhood. This is all going as Emily has her own secret that could tear them apart. This is all while their secrets are eating at each of them. Then boom it all explodes leaving on another cliffy as I am biting my nails till the next one. I voluntarily reviewed this ARC and absolutely need the next in the series.
Wow. Where on earth is the next book in this terrific series? I want it now. Fabulous story and I just love the characters. What an awful man Trent is. What he does to Emily is unbelievable. Cannot wait to read the next one.
ONE SMASHING TREAT!!!
Crikey Mates! Wow! Man, talk about rough and tumble. This is one tough cookie. You will not believe how this installment plays out. A rollercoaster of unexpected surprises and mishaps propel all of your emotions forward bursting to life beautifully. An intense storyline and gripping plot holds you tightly on a razors edge and total focus riveted to each word that has you flipping page after page. The characters chemistry is whirling hot, spinning tightly, luring you into the churning vortex, you’re all wrapped up until you feel the impact. The way Summer has the scenes playing out with such realism it gives the illusion your along for the ride. The characters are intriguing, authentic and realistic with such depth and traits that blend and flow fluidly. The scenes are written with such realism its easy to picture each scenario as they play off one another in perfect balance. Fantastic job Summer, thanks for sharing this little gem with us.
Whoa!! Is all I can say!! My emotions are a turbulent mess with all the secrets, the roller coaster ride of twists, turns and everything in between. The torturous heat, sensual chemistry, the fluidity of the story shrouded in darkness and the ever present cliffhangers. My goodness, I can’t wait for the next installment
The intensity has increased ten fold! Emily has been keeping her identity from Dylan, but just as they start to get closer the bottom falls out. Dylan is keeping a big secret of his own, but when he finds out who “Stephanie” really is, and nit from her, he is beyond furious and betrayed. This one is a wild roller coaster ride of emotions for both characters, and the readers! I really can’t wait for the next one to see how all of this plays out!!!
OMG…. THIS IS SOOO GOOD!
stay up until 2:00 in the am can’t put it down kinda good!
Emily has so many secrets to share. She’s signed the new contract and ready to tell Dylan everything. Until she walks in and finds Dylan and sees the look on his face. The pain and the rage. HE KNOWS…
Dylan has found something special with Stephanie. She’s beautiful, sexy. She’s perfect and no other woman has ever made him feel this way. She wants him just as much as he wants her. He’s happy for the first time… Happy…. until he finds out her secret.
Stephanie or is it EMILY?

This is the third part of this series and I suggest reading the previous two first. My heart goes out to Emily/Stephanie as she is pulled in deeper with Mr Dark aka Dylan, she also has her overbearing family causing all sorts of emotional drama for her, will her secrets finally come to light and can Dylan deal with her secret. Both their secrets and emotions are coming to the forefront and both with have to deal soon…..
Well written story, packed with plenty of drama and emotion. Wonderful characters with sizzling chemistry. But another cliffy….
