About this ebook

“Count on Scarlett Cole to give you everything you want in romance! A must-read by one of my favorite authors!” ~ Carly Phillips, New York Times best selling author.

A steamy friends-to-lovers standalone romance from Scarlett Cole.

Master distiller, Jake Dyer, is working seven days a week to keep his family-run gin distillery in business. There is no room for anything else in his life, especially not Cassie Cunningham, his childhood friend, and daughter of the owner of the construction company completing the distillery renovation.

When her father has an accident, Cassie has no choice but to leave her high profile New York construction job and return to Denver for six weeks to run his small construction firm in his absence. With her boss threatening to fire her if she doesn’t return, and her father pleading with her to stay, Cassie feels as though the men in her life are taking decisions out of her hands.

All except Jake, who is no longer the gangly-teen she left behind. When friendly reunions turn heated in secret, Jake and Cassie convince themselves that friends-with-benefits sounds like a whole lot of fun.

But as walls go up in the distillery and refuse to come down from around Cassie’s heart, Jake wonders if he and the woman he’s falling in love with will ever add up to anything more.

Love in Secrets is book #3 in Scarlett Cole’s Love Distilled series. It can be read standalone but I recommend reading the previous two books in the series for the best reading experience. Jake Dyer is a master distiller for the Dyer family’s gin distillery. He is confident, smart and sexy. He is protective over his sisters and loves his job. Cassie is a hard working, strong woman, working in a mans world, for her fathers construction company. She can hold her own and I loved this about her. This was such a great friends to lovers story. Jake and Cassie have known each other since they were children. They are passionate about their jobs and had amazing chemistry together. There are some bumps along the way with the fact that they live in different cities but they figure it out together. They make compromises where they need to and they mutually respect each others goals and dreams without the drama we sometimes see in romance novels. This was refreshing. I love Scarlett Cole’s writing. This series has been a top favourite and I have loved every moment with the Dyer family. The part of this story that really resonated with me is the importance of balancing a healthy work and home life. Scarlett outlines that is is possible to have both and Jake and Cassie’s passion for their work and each other is really beautiful.

This is the third book in the series and boy is it a good one. Man, did my heart go out to Cassie. She finds herself between a rock and hard place returning to her hometown. I gave her major props for what she does because it shows her true character. It's going to be tough being in hometown because it no longer feels like home and brings up unpleasant feelings. Though this time she gains something so unexpectedly delightful with Jake. Jake's life revolves around the distillery and he doesn't see the fun side of life too much. Having Cassie back in town brings out all sorts of feelings. Cassie and Jake have a ton of chemistry, but there is a timetable on their time together and that brings all sorts of complications. All I can say is I'm so happy where this book went because it made my heart very happy. This is a book you don't want to miss out on that's for sure!

About the author

Scarlett Cole is a contemporary romance author that calls both Toronto, Canada and Manchester, England home. A born city dweller, she periodically quashes the urge to live in the country by hiking up a mountain to remind herself that living away from people would terrify the pants off her.

She believes everybody deserves their love story to be told and loves her heroes on the rough and rugged side…and usually tall (because she married one of those 6ft 6” men you read about in romance!). She’s an A-type personality and Scorpio star sign, so good luck getting her to do anything she doesn’t want to.

When she isn’t writing, she’s happy to talk hot men and expensive shoes while drinking a cold gin and tonic. Don’t bring up olives. As far as Scarlett is concerned, they are the devil’s food. As long as you don’t bring up olives, she’s happy to hear from any time.
