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)!

Who knew when they started this story that Lucas would be such a romantic? Not me! There was so much to love about this book – their seven nightly texts, the song Lucas chose for their wedding, and that proposal! I cried so much with that proposal, it was so beautiful! I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
Theresa and Lucas are just the best! I really liked how this was laid out! The good feels when things go right and the angst when they don’t. These 2 characters were just great!
I reviewed a complementary copy of this book.
Lucas and Theresa’s story was a very fun and swoon worthy read. I thought that these characters were extremely likable and if you have read book one of this series, Unraveled they will be familiar. Do not worry if you haven’t it is not a problem because I feel you could enjoy this book easily as a standalone read. However, it was a really great read and I loved Corwin and Belle so much that I do think you would enjoy it. Now as for this book, there is a lot of cuteness, humor, sizzling steam and emotional turmoil in the story line, but also a fair share of realism and a bit of angst. At its heart though it is just a very sweet and quit hot story about a love that starts early and then endures and evolves despite deep unspoken feelings, distance, fears and insecurities.
I really liked this book, I thought the first book was good. But, this one was amazing, I fell for the characters from the beginning. Loved the chemistry.
I love a brother’s best friend romance and this was no exception. Belle and Corwin from the previous Until You book are getting married and Theresa, Corwin’s sister and Belle’s best friend is planning the wedding. Corwin’s best friend, Lucas, is recruited to help in the planning, which would be fine if Theresa hadn’t been in love with Lucas forever! Lucas has very set ideas on what his relationships should look like, especially as he watched his parents disintegrating relationship. Can they work through their issues and acknowledge that what they feel is more than just physical?
Great story, perhaps a few chapters from Lucas’s pov, but really it’s a minor thing. Enjoyable, cuddle up with a blanket read.
I liked the banter of Theresa & Luca in this 2nd book of this series. I was happy to see the glimpse of Belle, yet I wanted to see Corwin too. This is definitely steamy..yet I just wanted to know why Lucas stopped talking to Theresa. Or just to see a previous past experience from Lucas point of view (i hope that makes sense)
This was a great book. Lucas and Theresa made a really cute couple. That she was secretly a best-selling romance author who wrote about her fantasies regarding Lucas was hot. Then when he discovered her books, read them, and figured it all out, that was even better. There were several pitfalls along the way, but they eventually made it to their HEA. I couldn’t put this book down until I finished it – only got 4 hours of sleep that night! Highly recommended!
Is there anything hotter than a sexy marine bound and determined to have the woman of his dreams? The answer is no. Unveiled is Lucas and Theresa’s story. Theresa is spunky and curvaceous, she’s a successful romance author with a huge following- a secret she keeps near and dear. Lucas is a special ops military man who has loved and lusted after his best friend’s little sister for a very long time. Things come to a head between Lucas and Theresa while planning her brother’s wedding. Their attraction is off the charts hot and their coming together is explosive. Overcoming the obstacles in their path takes a little bit of time but their love is strong and cannot be denied. A sexy read that you should definitely add to your TBR list and enjoy with a glass of wine – you’re welcome. (I read an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.)
Lucas and Theresa were so great. I’m a sucker for a brothers best friend story and this didn’t disappoint. Theresa has had a crush on Lucas for ever but didn’t think she had a chance. I love that he comes home for her brothers wedding prepared to make his move finally. I didn’t care for the constant pushing away and coming back, pushing away and coming back. I felt the story drug put a bit but I’m also torn, because I loved their texting conversations but hated them be separated. In the end, I loved how they came together and they seriously had two epilogues that were the best I’ve read in a long time.

Great story with Theresa who is keeping two big secrets, one she secretly writes exotic romance books and two she has been in love with her brothers best friend Lucas. It all comes out when her brother gets married to her best friend and she has to spend time with Lucas where he finds her books in her closet and they can’t keep their hands and everything else off each other.

I so enjoyed this read about Lucas and Theresa, both characters we have met and now they get their own story. Theresa has had a crush on Lucas forever but in the last few years he has ghosted her, so when he comes back home for her brother’s wedding and he is tasked with her for the planning, she isn’t sure what his intentions are. Lucas witnessed the falling out of his parents marriage and vowed to never get involved until he was out of the service so he could give all of himself to the relationship….now he just has to convince Theresa he is all in and wants just her.
A great swoon read that also had me chuckling a few times. I liked these two and their attraction which was sigh and swoon worthy. Theresa had a great head on her shoulders and asked the right tough questions and made all the right decisions when it came to the two of them, making sure it was right between them. Lucas was a dream, intense and beautiful, taking to heart what Theresa said and respected it. I missed Lucas’ POV but there was a nice surprise in the end when we finally get his thoughts and feelings shared.

The boy who became a Marine and has taken leave to help her family move. As they begin to rekindle their friendship, they begin to unwind each other’s secrets, as well. Hold on to your hats ladies, you in for a fast ride!

This book was well worth the very long wait. I loved everything about it. I have no complaints. Lucas and Theresa are perfect. The story was sweet and oh so steamy which is what I expect from Christa. I adore Christa and she is one of my favorite authors. I have read almost all of her books and I am never disappointed. When I found out that Tessa Wood was writing Unveiled with Christa I was pleasantly surprised as well as excited. I had already read Boss of my panties by Tessa Wood. It was steamy, delicious, and entertaining. I signed up for her newsletter so that I can stay up to date with her. Great job ladies. I look forward to your next collaboration. Until next time y’all happy reading.
I loved this brother’s best friend romance story.

Lucas is her brother Corwin’s best friend and best man in his upcoming wedding. While helping her parents get their house ready to sell he finds a case of her signed books and starts reading them. He soon realizes she is an author (secret from her family) and he is the hero in her books. He makes his move on her after stating he has had a crush on her forever. They agree to keep it secret until he decides his future plans. At Corwin’s wedding Lucas proposes. They have a long engagement before marrying and having their HEA.

What a great writing duo. This was funny, exciting, sweet, sexy, and has that alpha-hero we would all love to have to ourselves.

I love brother’s best friend romance story and this newest release did not disappoint. Lucas and Theresa’s chemistry was hot from the start and got hotter as they dived into each other. Their character were a perfect match and their story was sweet to watch blossom. I love this series and Lucas and Theresa’s story was more than I expected.
Cute and hot romance
3.5
The story is pretty cute, well written, but still very hot between the two heroes. I found it a bit simple to my taste, but it remains extremely romantic.
Theresa always had a crush on her brother’s best friend who fled her. She quickly discovers that Lucas was waiting because of his job with the Marines, but once this point is updated, they advance quickly, maybe even too quickly for Theresa
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book

Such great reading!
It’s fun to see our heroine as a romance writer, and where she finds inspiration for her heroes. Lucas and Theresa are lifelong friends whose relationship takes on a dramatic change after a few years apart. Theresa and her BFF, Belle, have a bit of a history of making sneaky moves on each other. I love the sense of humor; not just with these two, but throughout the story. The romance is thrilling: sweet, but, oh, so sexy. The entire book is a real treat! Read and enjoy.
