I’ll admit it. I messed up. Mistake #1: Asking Peter Barnidge for a job.Mistake #2: Accepting his offer instead of throwing it in his face like I planned.Mistake #3: In the interest of stopping before #99, I’ll pretend the only other mistake was withholding one, tiny little nugget of truth during my interview. Peter Barnidge… Where do I even start? How about that after my first day working for … after my first day working for Mr. Superstar International Bestselling Author, his name became my favorite kid-friendly cursing substitute. Stub a toe? Peter Barnidge it! Bank account is overdrawn? Son of a Barnidge! And when I realized I was falling for my boss? Well, what the Barnidge?
I wish it was easier to just plain hate him, instead of the twisted, confusing blend of hatred and attraction I feel. But he’s the bad kind of attractive. Dark with a side of smoldering heat. The kind of hot that makes me want to do that Catholic cross thing every time I look at him, because one glance takes my brain straight to a world of sin.
Speaking of sin… I also lied a little during my interview. But I’m a single mom and I’d do anything to provide for my daughter, even if it meant keeping one tiny little secret. Unfortunately, even small secrets have a way of growing over time.
I think it’s only a matter of time before he finds out, and somehow, I don’t think he’s going to be happy when he does.

Oh I love how this book made me chuckle so much throughout. These characters are a great addition to the series family. I enjoyed it so, so much. Brilliant. Loved it :0)
Penelope Bloom’s latest release is another story from the series. You will enjoy this book too like I did.

Penelope Bloom has always hooked me with her characters and this was no exception. The characters are woven together beautifully and who can’t help but love granny.
The whole series is great
Sparks fly with these two!!
Violet and Peter are like matches to a fire for one another. Take into account the meddling friends and family, these two are about to explode. They just need to come clean with their secrets and find out if this can be their HEA!! Great read and I highly recommend it!

This is by far my favorite book in this series. Violet is a single mom just trying to get by. Peter is an author who puts on a tough facade but had a bigger heart then people realize.
I love the way all the stories in this series are interconnected.
The characters are great, snarky and will make you laugh out loud.
A satisfying read.
Violet knew Her Secret was a time bomb but how could she know Peter’s? This is another excellent steamy romance by an excellent romance author! Violet and Peter were broken but could they heal and offer Zoey a stable set of parents? I received a gifted copy. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review. I honestly love this story and this series!
There are so many reasons to pick up “Her Secret”. Who doesn’t love a single mom that will do anything for her child? In Violet’s case that means worming her way into working for Peter, a man with a stick up his butt. Peter and Violet’s story was so much fun to read with laugh out loud moments as well as a healing for a damaged Peter. There were a few people from previous stories making an appearance, such as Liam, Lilith, William and Grammy. My favorite was Grannie as she is such a hoot! Violet, 4 year old Zoey, and Peter’s story is a standalone read as Peter heals from his past and the three of them find their way to a HEA. I was gifted “Her Secret” by Booksprout, voluntarily giving my opinion. 4.5 Stars!
This is one seriously fantastic book and I absolutely loved these characters so much. She needed the job and didnt want to ask him but did. Could not put down and really enjoyed this one.
Violet is a marketing professional who has a daughter, Zoey. While at a writer’s convention, her daughter goes to Peter who is a non-fiction writer. When he is rude to them, she is determined to make him pay. Peter isn’t doing his best since he broke up with his girlfriend so he can’t seem to help himself when he hires Violet. Peter has a propensity to hire unencumbered people who don’t have anyone they need to look after so he thinks it is a win with Violet. He does all he can to get her to quit with his sarcasm. But he really doesn’t want her to since he is very attracted to her. These two try to fight their attraction and to get along but after a while they just can’t fight it. What will Peter do once he learns about Zoey? I liked this book but not as much as the others in this series. Time Peter got on my nerves and I wanted to hit him upside his head. But the story is good if not a bit different from her other books so can’t fault her here. This author is one of my favorites and does not disappoint.

What a great read! This was a fast read for me and I absolutely loved it!! Author Penelope Bloom hits it out of the park again!! This is one of my favorite series,, and I love how all the characters in the other books have cameos in this one. I definitely recommend this one!!! It’ll have you laughing and SWOONING!!!
Violet is a stubborn but determined single mother who is instantly at odds with Peter when they meet. They meet under tense circumstances and despite their best attempts at remaining separate cannot withhold from the chemistry they share. Both funny and steamy, Her Secret is a fast but thoroughly enjoyable read.
Addicted to the collection, absolutely love it.
Each book just gets better and better every time I read a book from the collection. Wonderful characters that can be related to. These books you won’t want to put down, you’ll be hooked from the start, I enjoyed reading them. I’d recommend your books to anyone. Loaded up with a drink so I could cuddle up and read it.

Loved the storyline and wonderful characters.
Loved Violet and eventually Peter.
Zoey was absolutely adorable and helped Peter to soften up with her little outbursts.
This book had some hits and misses for me. Peter was horrible to Violet, and I had a tough time reconciling his personality from beginning to end. The pacing of the book was a bit off as well. There was a lot of meanness from Peter at first, but the second half of the book just felt rushed, and it seemed as though the chemistry between him and Violet wasn’t really meshing as it should have. Overall though, I liked the premise and the story line. It wasn’t nearly as steamy as other books by this author, but there was some good banter, and I liked Violet’s feisty character.
Her Secret by Penelope Bloom is a sizzling hot storyline that you won’t want to miss. I really enjoyed it. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review after reading this arc.
This was one of my favorite of the Object of Attraction books. I loved the banter and the love/hate relationship between Peter and Violet. Of course appearances between William and Grammy never fail to disappoint!
Peter and Violet’s banter had me laughing through this book. An adorable child and cameo’s from Grammy and this book is another winner in this series!!
