Our heroine, Gloria, is the CEO of a LA-based lingerie company that’s about to branch off a BDSM line thanks to the success of the 50 Shades series. As a result she’s seeking a advertising agency that will launch this sexy new line. While in NY, she meets with several agencies to see if they wish to earn her business. She literally runs into our Hero, Jaime, while entering the hotel elevator on the way to meet him at his agency, but she doesn’t realize who he is. There are instant sparks between them, but his cockiness stops her “swoony” feelings. Because of past events, Gloria is slow to trust, and doesn’t know if Jaime’s attentiveness towards her are real or an attempt to win her account. We also learn that her company’s primary investor and his daughter, who is Gloria’s assistant, are people from Jaime’s past. Since this story is told from a dual POV, we know some of the “little” secrets and untold truths both Hero and heroine are keeping from one another. This story does end on a cliffhanger so I can’t wait to see how intertwined their lives are in the next book!

I don’t do spoilers so you will have to get the book to find out what I am talking about. This one is worth your time and effort. Go get it now you will enjoy it!!!

>-< >–< >–< >–< >–<>–< >–< >–< >–< >–< >–< >–< >–< What I liked/Didn’t Like: Lots of heat in this one make the book well worth reading it. The issues each character has it makes you bit your nails wonder what the heck is going to happen next. In short I loved it. Now on to look 2.
Sex, Lies & Lingerie by Nelle L’Amour is book One in the Secrets Trilogy. This book starts the story of Jaime Zander and Gloria Long and will continue through two additional books.
Gloria is the President of a really famous lingerie company and is looking for new adverting agency. Thinking that Jamie is a women who would understand her new line of inmates she is surprised to see the man named Jamie.
Jamie is a rich powerful man that owns a advertising agency. Jamie knows what he wants and Gloria falls into the want category and she quickly might be moving into the need category.
Besides the burning attraction between the two there is some other drama story line that will add to your reading interest.
Great start to this series…can’t wait for the next installment in their story.
“You’re going to be sorry…Don’t get involved with things that belong to me…Is that a threat?” “No, it’s a statement. I will take you both down if I have to.”
Nelle is new to me, but will definitely join my one-click addiction. There were so many elements in this book I loved. There is strength and confidence yet vulnerability and jealousy between these two characters. There are secrets, lies, hopes and fears.
“You may be a powerful woman, but the challenge is to unleash the power inside you.”
Throughout the book you learn about their past and how that has made them into the powerhouses they are. I love the banter back and forth as well as the power struggle. There are many steamy moments throughout as well as a crack in armor with some sweetness mixed in.
“He was in my bloodstream, bringing me to new levels of sensuality and self-awareness I’d never known.”
Their past are not to far in the past…I’m waiting for the other shoe to fall later in the series. I can’t wait to read Sex, Lust & Lingerie…book two of the Secrets and Lies Series.
This is my first book by Nelle L’Amour, and I loved it! There is a lot of mystery to it, and a lot of unknowns, but since there are more books in the series, I assume all will be known in the end! I really like Gloria and Jaime. I enjoyed how they met, and I enjoyed the way their relationship developed. Gloria is a strong woman, but also has the ability to be soft and kind, and wants to be cared for and loved. Jaime is not someone to settle down, but he just might be the right person for Gloria, and might settle down for her. The only thing I can say I disliked about the story thus far is the name of her store… Gloria’s Secrets. While I understand there could be many reasons for naming it that, such as the many secrets that have yet to be revealed about Gloria, it was just too close to Victoria’s Secret, and it was very similar in some aspects. However, it was not enough to turn me off the story. 🙂 The sexy times between the two are hot! This was a great book and I am very much looking forward to book two – Sex, Lust, and Lingerie!
Great story; very detailed and involved. This is part one of a three-part story. The characterizations of a large ensemble cast were all very clearly depicted and realistic within the context of the story line. The main male and female characters meet unofficially in a unique fashion. They become involved in business together and also start down to road to a romantic adventure. There are many sexual/sensual scenes but also a large amount of utterly romantic scenes. There are many things afoot in this tale beyond a romance, with some not-so-nice characters hanging around. Excellent way to leave readers hanging at the end of this first part. Got to get to part two for answers.
I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this novel and I am leaving an honest and unbiased review. I have no affiliation to this author.
Nelle L’Amour got me again. She has given me 2 wonderful characters that allowed me to completely escape into their world. Gloria is a self-sufficient, successful female that runs her own multi-billion-dollar business. As she looks to start a new product line, she seeks out a new advertising company believing “Jaime”, as a woman, would understand the lingerie/sex toy industry and how to sell this to women. However, Jaime is full of surprises when he shows up as a man, the same man she encountered in an elevator that same morning. The push/pull between Gloria and Jaime is fabulous with these 2 strong willed/independent personalities. When they do finally give in, we, the readers get to enjoy the pantie melting sex scenes. The story does end with a big question which has me wondering what will happen next. Excited to dive into part 2! I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
This was my first book to read by Nelle L’Amour have to say cant wait to read more. This story all about Jamie and Gloria, I couldn’t put down till the cliffhanger. OMG they have chemistry thats sizzling HOT from the moment they meet. Cant say any more than pick up on release day. A must read, I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy.
I thought this book was very enjoyable . It is book one of three and it introduces readers to Gloria and Jaime. Both of these characters appealed to me and I thought it was very easy to feel the powerful attraction that they shared. Their chemistry was also very hot and steamy. This book is a very intense read. There is a lot of drama, emotional turmoil, secrets, lies and suspense. Of coarse the base for all of this is the genuine and unexpected affection that bloom between these two characters. Avery entertaining read that left me anxiously anticipating book two in this series.
