Red Phoenix wows us again with her fresh installment in the Brie’s Submission series! Honestly, I’m not sure how she continues to write such fresh and engaging storylines for characters that we’ve come to know so well, so I’ll just say how thankful I am that she does. There are so many wonderful moments in this book, not only between Sir Thane Davis and his beloved Brie, but also between the sinfully sexy Rytsar. Gosh, that man makes me weak in the knees! The heat in this book, is insane!
There are loads of sexy times between our favorite dominants and their cherished submissive. Each one felt real and genuine, and you’ll feel as if you are watching the unique scenes for yourself as you read.
Once you put the fan down that you were using to keep cool, pick up the tissues. While there is plenty to ooh and ah over, and lots of laughter, there are also some highly emotional moments as secrets are revealed, and emotional baggage is dealt with. I shed a few tears for sure! The best part of any of Red’s books, is the connection you feel to the characters and the things that they go through. With the STC, we have a wonderful extended family that Red has given to us, and it’s always such a pleasure to catch up with them. I send up a little cheer each time an old friend is mentioned!
If you haven’t met the cast of the STC, including Brie, Sir and Rytsar, then you are truly missing out and need to rectify that! If you have been reading the series along with me, then you are in for a spectacular treat with this new release.
I’m not going to give a synopsis of the book, I know you’ll want to read every delicious word for yourself. What I am going to say is I’m in awe how after 19 books in this series, Red Phoenix has raised the bar again. The scenes in the plane were enough to make me wish I was on the same flight. The scenes are hot and sexy and pull me in but Red Phoenix brings the story with it and there is so much story. The emotional rollercoaster she took me on with the drama, danger, and secrets did literally keep my heart pounding and me sitting on the edge of my chair until I finished the book. This was phenomenal!!!
This was an Awesome book you will love it from the first chapter when they get on the isle wow so hot trust me and you will learn more about our fav russian Rytsar and then sir and brie go to italy to visit sirs grandparents and things happen there but ends on happy note. then you get Tono and Autumn hot scene and so much more stories and learn much more about Mary and the ending is great and there wll be much more to come which makes me so happy
Wow, this book is simply incredible. This book perfectly speaks to your heart, whether it’s unrequited, true, longing, forbidden or friendship. As Brie and Sir interact with there family and friends it all becomes a little clearer of what they have gone through. I love the bond that Brie shares with Sir and Rytsar, it’s so effortlessly refreshing. I also do love Brie’s friendship/ sisterhood with Leah and Mary. Their are all different,but has such a tight bond through their submissive nature. Most of all I absolutely love how Brianna has faced her challenges head on as strong, intelligent, business woman who thrives on concurring the world.
Just when you think you cannot fall in love with these characters more…you do! Red Phoenix has done a beautiful job weaving such an intricate world for Brie & Sir to live in that I absolutely love visiting them along with their family & friends. With this being the 20th book in the series you would think she would run out of storylines but…oh no!!! Believe me there is so much going on whether it is the heartfelt moments or the hot steamy interludes that we all know & love, this book definitely leaves you wanting more….
Secrets of the Heart in book 20 in Red Phoenix’s Brie’s Submission series and another 5 star read!!! In this one we finally learn Mary’s connection to Mr. Holloway and that will blow your mind!!! Of course more sexy scenes between the amazing trio of Thane Brie and Rytsar. There were so many emotional moments throughout this entire book it will leave your head spinning!!! These amazing characters have been through so many trials and tribulations and they have even more to conquer! I can’t wait to read the next one!!!
Another wonderful Bri book from Red Phoenix. You can’t go wrong with her books. I always look forward to her next book. Love all of her characters. Bri and her Master are the perfect couple. Can’t get enough of them.
Secrets of The Heart (Brie’s Submission #20)
by Red Phoenix
When we last experienced the joy of Brie,Sir and Rytstar it was in the last book Hope’s First Christmas. This new book picks up where that book left off. The three of them head off to celebrate New Year’s on their private island. After a few glorious kinky days in paradise they part ways Brie and Thane (Sir) head to Italy to surprise Nonna and Nonno only when they got there they were the ones who were shocked. The family was in crisis and needed them desperately. Brie and and Thane run into one of his late fathers friends Gino Mancini who ends up having a treasure trove of incredible information and memorabilia that could potentially help when she makes her documentary of his father. Once they return home she finds herself in an uphill battle to get her second BDSM documentary on the big screen. Plus she needs to confront what scares her most…. her past.
While I enjoyed this book it left some unanswered questions. Why did Gino Mancini high tail it out of his house after inviting her there? Then did Thane get him to agree to let her get copies? Why was Thane so upset with Alonzo being there? Then what is Greg’s problem with Brie and certain people in the film? Then I’m not thrilled with leaving it on a cliffhanger. I’m assuming that these questions will be answered in the next book?
Maybe it’s just me that has questions?
There were many twist,turns and secrets revealed.
4 .5
When I open any of Brie’s books, it is like talking to an old friend and no time has passed. I look forward to each new installment and this one was worth the wait. Brie is struggling with getting her next documentary produced. That sounds like enough of a struggle, but Red does not let that stop her from finding ways to make her readers shed tears. I cannot believe how fast Red can take us from hot and steamy and in complete bliss, to grabbing tissues and having our hearts hurt. Secrets of the Heart is the perfect title for this story. So many secrets are told and so many hearts are affected. I always love the scenes with Rystar, but I enjoyed the strong bond between Sir and Brie even more this time. I love watching them grow together and cannot wait for more.
As with all of these books you go into knowing you’ll need a hand towel at the ready. Either for drying tears or drying other things.
Some questions were answered only to have more come up.
Absolutely captivating. This is my favorite book to date in the Brie Series!! Red out did herself again!! It was a powerful and heartfelt read that I couldn’t put down. The story draws you in and puts you in the book. you can feel all the emotion. Every word every scene drawing you deeper. It was a fantastic steamy read!! A must read!
Wow. This book totally got all the feels. Being able to see my 3 favorite characters together again is just amazing. I cried happy tears throughout this whole story. I absolutely loved it! Red Phoenix has another beautiful book here. I would highly recommend this book.
Red Phoenix is a genius when it comes to writing emotions, and desire. She is spot on with chemistry, character placement and story-telling to a capitalized T… make no mistake! Secrets of the Heart is another wonderful addition to Brie’s journey and life adventure with Thane “Sir” Davis. This time though, they are embarking on another powerful journey together, and separately abroad. Both finding their own inner strengths and triumphs. I love Red’s writing in that she takes a scenario- taking us through the tribulation, then polishing it with the brightest of light of positive outcomes.
My only little hiccup, and maybe something for the next book… cause come on, we all know there will be a next one. I need more Rystar! I would love to see a scene or two between Brie and Sir where their is more tribulations, more push back with Brie. Yes she is a submissive at heart, but these books are seeming to me to become more and more ‘doormat’ feel, in a way. I love Brie, don’t get me wrong, but with all relationships, we all have arguments, push back, etc. and not all arguments/fights resolve quickly. I would love to see ‘hopefully’ how Brie and Sir or even including Rystar, how they would handle a situation or scenario. We havn’t had something like this in awhile.
Overall, great book. Loved bringing more of Thane’s family into this book as well as seeing Brie’s determination for her project.
I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.
This story jumps right in with a bunch of hotness and travels. Sir, Brie and Rytsar are jetting away to their private island. I love the connection that Brie, Sir and Rytsar have but my heart still hurts for Rytsar. After Brie has been spoiled by these too it is off to Italy. There are a few tears and joyous moments while seeing Nonno, Nonna and the rest of the family. My heart ached for Nonna and Nonno. However, Brie receives and amazing and unexpected gift from a friend of Sirs father. Cannot give too much away but what an amazing thing.
Brie has grown so much as a woman through these books. She has really come into her own. She has learned to stand her ground, believe in herself and not let people walk all over her. She will have to put up a fight for her documentary.
I enjoy when we get to see the rest of the gang. Amazing to see Autumn and Tono and how much she is blossoming. I’m happy for Lea she has had ups and downs but maybe Hunter is different. My heart breaks for Mary she has had a hard life and it needs to get better for her. I am ready for more I need to find out if all is going to work out because with the plot twist at the end left me in turmoil.
The story continues and every book gets better. I couldn’t put this one down Red knows how to keep you wanting more. We learn more about Sir and his family and Brie is trying to get her film released and of course, things do not go as planned. And we can not forget the sexy HOT scene we all love. I will never get tired of this story!
New year new beginnings
It was nice to be back with Sir, Brie and Rystar. As promised the muses had me laughing out loud, my heart was melting. There are so many good thing happening along with hurdles and struggles ahead for them all. Hope is there bringing Joy & teaching them life lessons along the way. Once again Red Phoenix weaves a story that sucks you in and the next thing you know you the story ENDS way to soon & you are left waiting for the next story for your relief to find out what happens next. I’m excited for everyone to read Secrets of the Heart. Thank you Red Phoenix for never letting us down.
This is book 20 in The Brie’s Submission Series and without a doubt the BEST book to date!
I have often wondered as reader what it would be like to follow characters in a book thru their daily lives? Would it be interesting? Keep my attention? Well I can say I had not had that experience until I found this series 7.5 years ago! Red has brought to life The Submissive Center and it’s family in such a way that it weaves you into the stories! Secrets of the Heart is one more layer of intrigue and love that keeps you wanting and waiting for more from Brie and the Gang! You will experience all the feels in this story as we have come to expect from Red Phoenix such as panty- dropping heat!~
hot flashes,love and as the title suggests many new secrets! I enjoyed devoured this latest edition and you will too! Thanks Red Phoenix for another heartfelt story! Keep’em coming!!!
Wow! This book is just amazing. I just love how this series just keeps getting better. We learn so much about the characters every time and we still have more to learn! I love the relationships, the love of friends and family, and how Sir and Brie continue to grow and change. I have loved watching Sir go from stand offish and distant to an involved and loving father. I have loved watching Brie grow stronger and able to hold her own. All the challenges and obstacles only make them stronger. Rytsar is also such an awesome person. I love his wicked sense of humor. I laughed, cried, and even got so mad I almost threw my Kindle! So much I could say but I don’t want to spoil anything. Just, if you haven’t read this series, you really should! Now to wait for the next book!
This is a whirlwind tour through a short but eventful time in Brie and Sir’s life.
Full of family, friends, love and spicy, mouthwatering encounters with Rytsar. But also painful moments and pleasant surprises.
Although Brie manages to lay old ghosts to rest, a new threat rears it’s ugly head and the end…!
Well it’s a mixed bag. A wonderful surprise and then, boom, a nasty bombshell.
And the whole book, waaay to short!!!
This book is not only steamy and sexy but also so touching and encouraging. Secrets of The Heart will have you needing tissues for so many different reasons. Highly recommend this book!!
