I’ve got a giant secret no one knows about. Well, two secrets, if you count my spending the last decade stuck hopelessly in love with my brother’s best friend, a man who’s spent most of his life seeing what comes of a not-happily-ever-after ending between two people.Interestingly, the fact that my heart is stubbornly holding onto this ill-advised crush is actually related to my other secret. It’s … secret. It’s sort of an occupational hazard, really, when you’re the pseudonymous author behind a popular series of wildly romantic books that are all fantastically dirty.
Seriously, if this gets out, it won’t be a huge leap to figure out why my ridiculously rugged heroes are all government-issued. Or why the hottest one by far bears a striking resemblance to a certain disciplined-to-the-max, protective-to-the-extreme Marine who treats me like a kid sister.
So, here we are, my two secrets and I sharing the same roof as Lucas Weaver for a stint, with me seemingly unable to stop ruffling and riling him up at every turn. What can I say? Clearly, I’m not the same girl I was when I first started falling for him. But then again, he’s not exactly the same guy either.
Because those fictional heroes I’ve been basing on Lucas?
They’ve got nothing on him now that he knows…everything.
NOTE: It was such a blast collaborating with my great friend Tessa Wood (who’s just masterful with the sweet & steamy) on this ALL NEW book for Lucas & Theresa. Hope you have as much fun reading this co-written story as we had writing it (it’s a first for us both, but definitely not the last)!

This book is so good!
I loved Lucas and Theresa’s story! Theresa has loved Lucas forever! Her brothers wedding brings them back together. With wedding planning throwing them together old feelings begin to resurface. Both of them have secrets that draw them closer together. Theresa and Lucas were fantastic together! They have amazing chemistry! I love this story and the Until You series! I can’t wait to read Untapped!
This was a cute story! Theresa has been in love with her brother’s best friend for years. Lucas joined the Marines and ghosted her. He comes back into the picture for the upcoming wedding of Corwin and Belle. ( Theresa’s brother and her best friend) Lucas decides to help Theresa with the wedding planning. He stumbles across some books that he realizes T has written and reads them. He finds out that all her heroes are based on him. He plans on using the information he reads to make T his. I really enjoyed reading it!
Thank you for the privilege of reading this book!
Unveiled is one hot brother best friend story. This book will suck you in with its hotness from the very start. I love Lucas and Theresa. They have this chemistry that is amazing and sweet. Yet you get the naughty side from them too once everything is laid out on the table. I love Theresa and how she knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to step back when needed. Lucas is just so swoon worthy. You will see what I mean once you read this one. I couldn’t put this down. Fanning myself just thinking of Theresa and Lucas together. I love this book.
Unveiled is a collaboration of what makes romance a flavorful experience. Lucas and Theresa are adept at making the heart smile while tempting your socks off with a dash of not so subtle naughty. Wick and Woods join forces to give the heart what it wants. An emotional temptation with a side of delight.
This is what one thinks as unrequited love of a brothers friend. I would’ve preferred dual POV’s however Lucas does reveal his intentions. At times it did stall a bit for me & was a bit put off with the flow. However I did feel the connection with the characters & how it was a bit unconventional with their relationship.
I’m not normally a fan of military tales however the focus did stay on this couples relationship.

What a swoon-worthy read! Everyone needs a Lucas in their lives. This man knew what he wanted and was determined to get it. He may have taken his time getting there but as the old saying goes, better late than never. Theresa was so sweet and lovable. I would love to have her as a friend. I understood her doubts though. I mean the man did push her away for years. I love that these two got their HEA. The only thing that bothered me was that even though this was a short 15 chapter book it just seemed a little to long in thought. There were moments when I just wanted to get to the point. Oh and I would have loved a bit more from Lucas too. But otherwise it was a really my great swoon-worthy read. *I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.*
4 1/2 Stars
Told mostly in Theresa’s POV, this sweet over the top tale of unrequited love was erotically romantic.
Lots of buildup with drool worthy actions from Lucas as he does what he can to prove to his baby bird that it was time for them to be together.
I liked the way he tried apologizing for pulling away from her for the long eight years he pretty much ghosted her. Also a nice touch as he came clean about his part in leveling some retribution on her first boyfriend.
Tons of sizzling scenes as this sexy couple finally have their time together.

Theresa has a lot of balls that she’s juggling. First, she is maid of honor and wedding coordinator for her sister’s wedding.
Second, she’s trying to hide the fact that she’s a successful romance author, and third her love for her friend Lucas. The fact that her crushing and fantasizing over Lucas has defined many of the heroes of the books that she writes.
I loved the relationships between the characters and secondary characters.
I enjoyed the developement of a relationship between Lucas and Theresa as they reveal their feelings for each other.
I would have liked to see more changes in the point of view during the book. Even so, a satisfying tale of love.
Fabulous brother’s-best-friend romance!
Theresa and Lucas don’t waste much time acknowledging their attraction to each other, but the devil’s in the details, and with his life at a crossroads and her focus on her brother’s wedding, these two really have to put some effort into figuring out what they really have beyond their insatiable chemistry.
As much as I loved Belle and Corwin’s story (Unraveled), this one is better, longer, more emotionally in-depth and (dare I say it) steamier. Lucas makes the most of what he learns about Theresa through her writing, in the bedroom as well as in her heart. These two aren’t afraid to ask each other the hard questions, calling out possible hidden motivations, and confronting the tough issues.
Theresa’s humor shines brightly throughout the book, as all but the last chapter are in her first-person POV (Lucas has the last chapter). The thread with the kittens made for some seriously swoony moments, too. Oh, and fair warning – you’re going to want some French toast when you’re done reading this book. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
