Wanted to keep reading to get to the bottom of the story and the crazy past that each character carried. Book doesn’t give you an ending it goes into book 2 to continue the story.
I originally read the series when it was Gloria’s Secret, I loved it then and loved it more with Jaime’s POV. There were times in Gloria’s Secret I thought Jaime was a jerk. With Sex, Lust & Lingerie we get Jaime’s POV and understand why he did what he did. I enjoyed rereading this book because I forgot a lot of things. I really enjoyed revisiting Jaime and Gloria. I can’t wait for Sex, Love & Lingerie. I read this on Kindle Unlimited.
I enjoyed this continuation story between our heroine, Gloria and our Hero, Jaime. Gloria happily awards Jaime’s agency the contract to develop ads promoting the new BDSM line of lingerie and sex toys. Throughout this story, the main antagonists from the first story continue to threaten Gloria and Jaime both personally and professionally, as individuals and as a couple. As a result, manipulations of circumstances create constant doubt in Gloria’s mind so she’s not sure who she can trust besides her best friend, Kevin, who has been by her side since they were kids. This is the part that frustrated me a bit with this book is Gloria’s lack of faith in the man she claims to love. Gloria is a rags to riches businesswoman, and she and Kevin had to rely on street smarts to help them create a successful global lingerie company. Yet, she doesn’t seem to tap into that intellect to see past her trust issues in order to give Jaime the benefit of the doubt. Jaime shared his dark secret with her, yet, she couldn’t bring herself to share the story of the scar on her chest and why those circumstances continue to haunt her.
I’m really glad this was written with a dual POV, as I think having Jaime’s thoughts added depth to the story. His perseverance and risks is ultimately what brings about their HEA. There is one loose end that may come back to haunt them in the third book. Can’t wait to see how it plays out!
I was given an ARC copy of this book and I chose to review it. Not my usual type of book… I am not big on cliff hangers. I encourage everyone to give this series a chance. This one is well written and worth your time and effort. I am looking for the next book in this series. This one helps complete the story which makes it a winner!!!
This was a fantastic book, and a great continuation of book 1. You might want to have book 1 and book 2 on your device because you will definitely want to move on to book 2 immediately! I know I wanted to! You should NOT read this until you have read the first book in the Secrets series. This series was my first introduction to Nelle L’Amour, and I am so glad that I picked up this author! Amazing! The relationship between Jaime and Gloria was hot! Also frustrating at times, and sweet other times. The ending was just what I would have wanted for the two of them! I received an ARC from the author for an honest review.
You definitely need to read Sex, Lies and Lingerie before reading this book.
Both books are brilliant. Great stories.
This book is filled with lots of great sex, amazing chemistry, passion, hope, jealousy, lies, deceit, secrets, heartache, passion, revenge, fear and hope.
The scenes are very descriptive and beautifully written.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review from Ms L’Amour
I gave this Book a rating of 5 ’s

While being full of twists and turn to keep you on your feet while wondering just what the heck will happen net. A very well thought out story with interesting characters as well.
Sex, Lust & Lingerie by Nelle L’Amour is book Two in the Secrets series. This continues the story of Jaime Zander and Gloria Long so you really should read the previous book ‘Sex, Lies & Lingerie’. This book does give us a happy ending but there is another book/novella that will continue their story. That book is called ‘Sex, Love & Lingerie’.
Jamie has his secrets which are threatening to come to the surface. Gloria has her life going through some hard times. They both are working through what they are feeling and trying to come through their issues. Really have enjoyed their story with the steamy scene and their little bickering.
“There was a fine line between losing control and being out of control, and I had just crossed it.”
Nelle did not disappoint in this second book of the series. I was anxious to get my hands on it and couldn’t put it down.
“…you’re taking me down a collision course. There’s only disaster at the finish line. I can’t afford to be a car wreck.”
This book is filled with deceit, secrets, lies, lust, jealousy, mystery, chemistry, heartache, passion, revenge, fear and hope. You will be kept on a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. I kept trying to figure out what was around the corner, but never quite figured it all out.
“Scars come with secrets and mine has been barred. It reminds me that I have survived. That I have healed. I have left my past behind.”
Looking forward to the final book in the series Lies, Love & Lingerie. I can’t wait to see how this all plays out. Can two successful, strong willed, determined entrepreneurs compromise when it comes to the heart? Will they be able to see past the lies and secrets? Does love conquer all?
This is the second part of a three-part series. Well written story that moves along well, pacing or racing to meet the story’s momentum as needed. Great story that is intricately woven and detailed. Ms. L’Amour is unravelling each “clue” to enlighten the reader a little bit more of what all is going on behind the scenes of the overt romance of the two main male and female characters. There are some very serious issues that are afoot and as well, some pretty serious issues that are afoot and as well, some very serious issues that have been faced by both the main male and female characters. Very exciting tale that kept this reader mesmerized. Scintillating sex scenes along with sigh-worthy romantic gestures. Through everything, these two manager to engage in a romantic journey.
Highly recommended read; not just this part but the entire series! 🙂
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.
After Jaime gives Gloria a “toi et moi” (you and me) ring, Gloria is unsure of her relationship with Jamie and works to get away from him but fate conspires against her, forcing her to spend more time with Jaime than she wants. As Gloria gets back to LA she finds out that her company is under attack so she and Kevin begin damage control. Victor and Vivien continue their conniving ways keeping Gloria on edge. Jaime and Gloria have amazing chemistry and their sexual connection is off the charts but just as Gloria believes she can trust Jaime, that trust is put to the ultimate test and then demons from her past reappear. Can she escape the demons? Will Jamie be able to show that he does love her? Loved the epilogue … Sigh. Thank you, Nelle for another great escape. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
This is book two in this series and what a series it has been! You must read book one first as this one picks the story line up from there and if you don’t you will be confused and end up feeling lost. As Gloria and Jaime’s story continues The intensity reaches edge of your seat levels as this emotional roller coaster ride its stunning journey of ups, downs, twists and turns. For me it was impossible not to fall in love with Jaime and Gloria. These two were the complete and total package of deep love and hot passion. Both incredibly unique individuals, that fit together seamlessly to create a stronger and more vibrant whole. Gripping, engaging, powerful and absolutely delightful, this amazing series is one that should not be missed! This book does give readers a HEA but there is a follow-up novella coming soon.
