I absolutely loved The secret by Maggie Cole!! The story line and characters were great!! If your looking for a streamy romance id get any of the ALL IN series. Collins hands are out of this world. Just wait until you read it you’ll understand!! Meg is amazing she is very head strong!!
Maggie Cole does it again with the Secret, Meg Grail is the right hand woman for Liv ( Book one, The Rule) in Liv’s PR business. In her way Meg is a player of her own when it comes to her love life but knows she doesn’t want anything serious. So when she decides to take a break from dating, along comes Collin Corwin comes along and she is starting to change her mind. Collin is agent plus business manager for many athletes , known as The Negotiator. But Collin has his own rule, he does not get in a relationship with any women who have been involved with any of his clients. Don’t be surprised when things start to heat up in The Secret, these books are HOT and things are never boring in them. A 10 star review from me and reading this series in order is a must as they are tied together. Another must read, so if you read nothing else this year , it has to be The All In Series.
Maggie cole really hit home for me with this one I was blown away. If you have read this series over even Maggie cole in general is a must read .
Meg doesn’t have serious relationships, and only dates men for fun. Collin is recently divorced. When Collin see Meg, he knows instantly that he wants her. But he has a rule, he doesn’t date his clients ex’s. And Meg has just broken things off with his client. Who still seems to be into her. Meg is attracted to Collin from the start, but he doesn’t want to risk it. So, on a night between kisses, they make a deal to keep their relationship a secret. Then things from the past come up, and Meg wants to not be kept a secret.
I really enjoyed this book. It starts of great from the beginning, and holds your interest. I just love the characters. They were all strong and written wonderfully. You wanted them to get their happily ever after. This book has it all. I definitely recommend this book. If you want a super quick read with the right amount of heat this is the book for you.
Meg Grail was always a have fun only type of girl. That is until she meets Collin Corwin. She is instantly attracted to him. What she doesn’t know is that he has a rule of not dating his clients exes. What she also doesn’t know is that he’s wanted her since even before he met her. Finally, they get a chance at romance but it must be kept a secret. Can this love affair last? Will someones past come back to haunt them? Maggie Cole keeps you on the edge of your seat with the second installment of the All In series. She also keeps you needing a cool drink with the steamy romance. I give this book a million stars!
Collin and Meg, both with their own insecurities , are extremely likable characters. Meg did not have an easy childhood or young adulthood but she was able to rise above and make something of herself. Collin had a good childhood but made choices as an adult that he admits weren’t right for him. I love Collin, as a male he is very able to admit things he did wrong and take ownership for his part of a failed marriage, even though his wife cheated. (although I don’t agree with him…there is never a reason to cheat, so I wouldn’t blame him). Collin and Meg are likable from the start right on through the finish and they are really just adorable together.
Maggie creates a book where negotiate is the name of the game. Meg and Colin have lust, and passion, ultimately true love. Maggie proves you can heal with time and the right person.
Meg and Collin are on fire! Loved their ‘negotiations’!
Collin is a book boyfriend for sure! Meg is a sensational leading lady! This book is so compelling, and you’ll be wanting more of these characters long after you finish the book. Another hit for Maggie Cole.
This was my first book by this author and I absolutely loved it and just grabbed the first book in the series. I loved Collin and Meg, they were awesome. Their story was fun, quirky and deliciously sexy, I couldn’t put this book down. The attraction between these two is palatable, the only thing holding Collin back from making a move on Meg is the man in Meg’s life at the moment who just happens to be his client and he just can’t go there even though there is nothing between them anymore. Their work is intertwined which makes it difficult for a relation of any kind, or is it? Dating in secret, telling lies to friends, they both bring baggage to this relationship, but how long will they be able to keep their feelings hidden from the world before it all comes to light? Such a great read, loved it, loved the characters and I can’t wait for me to come for this series. I found this book on Booksprout.
How do you not fall in love with Meg and Collin? Maggie Cole brings another hot couple to life with the steamiest love scenes and heart-stopping drama along the way!
Here’s the deal. If you’re looking for a gut wrenching, rip-your-heart-out love story that requires tissues and ice cream, this is it. If you want a romance that will send all your parts to their happy places, this is it. Maggie does a great job developing these characters and their stories. My only regret is that it took me so long to finally read this.
Oh, before I forget. Be prepared for some FANTASTIC negotiations!
2 very strong main characters that are so amazing together. Supporting characters are amazing also. Love that characters from book 1 are tied into the story.
I loved Meg and Collins story so much. Such a good book and story. HEA. Roller coaster of emotions but totally worth it. Can’t wait for the next story.
Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing. Once I started I could not get enough, from the start till the end I was engrossed I was even on the edge of my seat with twists and turns, lust and passion, strength. The story of eroticism of sensation. Do yourself a favor and buy the book you want be disappointed.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Maggie did it again. Meg and Colin are great together. The difference in there backgrounds is incredible.
Super Great Read & Super Steamy Story! Maggie Cole does it again with book number 2 in the “All In” series. Collin & Meg are such diverse characters but find love & lust with each other. Coming from two different backgrounds can they really be a good fit or will it divide them? Their love story is superb. Once again there is mystery, suspense, intense situations, deep love and lots of steamy sex! The story takes a few unexpected twists & turns that really keeps the reader on edge, but an HEA is always the goal. Loved how the author brings some of the other characters into the depth of the story which becomes as much their tale as the main characters. Really enjoyed having Tom & Liv from Book 1 “The Rule” be such an integral part of the story. It’s still a stand alone book but you’ll enjoy it more if you read book 1 first. Well done Maggie! I’m still “ALL IN” with you as a favorite author. Highly recommended! Looking forward to book number 3!!!
Absolute must read , a hot steamy romance , full of secrets that will keep you intrigued and wanting more!
This book made me fall in love with Collin. Two people with damage hearts finally finds what is lacking in their life, and find each other.
The second book in the All In series certainly does not disappoint! It introduces more wonderful characters and keeps bringing the heat!!!
