★★★★★ “If you are on the fence about MM romance, Secrets We Fight is just the story to illustrate how beautiful the genre can be. The story, being a forbidden romance, just makes it even better for me.” ~ Trudy D.

★★★★★ “The chemistry between these two men is absolute fire.” ~ Michelle

Rhett Davis, a dedicated Secret Service agent, has always aspired to protect the president of the United States. But destiny has a wicked sense of humor. Instead of guarding the commander-in-chief, he’s assigned to the president’s magnetic son, Fallon.
Fallon Donnelley is a law student determined to forge his own path, and strives to create his own legacy beyond his family name. Even with his grueling school schedule, Fallon can’t help but be distracted by the man tasked with keeping him safe.
The more time Rhett and Fallon spend together, it becomes harder to deny their attraction for one another. Despite the risks to both their reputations, their flirty banter sparks a sizzling secret affair.
While their relationship deepens, a weekend trip to celebrate a friend’s upcoming wedding changes everything. It’s there they learn Fallon’s identical brother has a secret of his own, one that will cause Rhett and Fallon’s world to shatter.
As their forbidden love story unravels, Rhett and Fallon’s love for one another becomes the ultimate test of loyalty, and they must decide if it’s worth risking it all to follow their hearts.
Or die trying.

4.5 Stars

I’ve enjoyed every book I’ve read by these authors. This one was no different. I like the bodyguard/client relationship in romance books. I doubt they are as common in real life, but that’s part of the fun. It’s fun to slip into a romance where anything and everything is possible.

The story was easy to get into from the very start. Once I met the friends, I had a feeling they had their own story—and they did—but I didn’t feel like that affected my enjoyment. It did make me super curious…

I enjoy stories with easy conversations, great banter, and connections you can feel. This one delivered. I definitely recommend it.

4 Stars!

Fallon is one of the sons of the new POTUS, the golden child among his siblings, a dedicated law student who wants to specialize in human rights, and who’s been harboring a crush on one of the secret agents assigned to protect his family. Rhett’s been working toward becoming one of the men protecting the President, so he’s not exactly jumping for joy when he’s assigned to guard one of his sons, especially not when he’s attracted to said son and he’s not sure how long he’s going to be able to keep Fallon at arms’ length if they’ll be spending so much time together.

I really liked Fallon and Rhett, the sparks between them practically jumped off the page from their first interaction. Their banter was fun and they were hot together. Their relationship was very instalust/instalove, but it worked well for them.

While I was definitely on board with the romance, despite them having to keep it secret for obvious reasons, I wasn’t all that fond of Finn’s (Fallon’s triplet) gaming subplot, or how it played out (how Fallon’s father dealt with it). However, it did help move things along, so there’s that.

I loved Poppy, Rhett’s daughter, she was a sweetheart, and I wish we’d seen more of her with Fallon and Rhett. I also liked Day a lot, I hope this isn’t the last we’ve seen of him.

All in all, this was an entertaining, well-written book, fast-paced, steamy, with great characters and an engaging storyline that I have no trouble recommending.
