Whilst I have read all this author’s previous books, which I have loved, the storyline about a MMA fighter didn’t exactly excite me!!!

Really, I am not sooooo crazy about huge tattooed men…..nothing against them, but just not my “cup of tea”. I have never watched cage fighting but I have viewed photos of the fighters…and ugh!!!!
So not going to write much about the storyline…by now everyone knows about it!!
MMA fighter meets successful lawyer. Both have dark secrets. They fall in love….you know!!!!! Two people who meet by chance……………. [image] Okay, let’s start…open page 1…and 2….next thing I realize….I AM TOTALLY INTO THIS STORY!!!
Forget my pre-conceived ideas of cage fighters….Nico Hunter is my new dreamboat!!!!

I loved this guy…I mean how cool is his name!!! But that’s not the only thing I connected with him. There was so much more to him. He’s guilt-ridden, kind, caring; sensitive, somewhat broken by what happened in his past. But he’s not a cynic….he has emotional depth…he’s fun to be with….and hot in bed too!!! He’s the kind of man we want to have in our lives.
Elle has a successful career and a dead-end “sex” relationship with a friend. Just trying to keep her feelings hidden as much as possible. She’s smart, beautiful, funny, sexy and just like Nico, hiding terrible memories from her past. Now, what are the chances of this woman falling for Nico????? [image] power dresser lawyer....[image] These two broken people will heal each other….that I felt right from the first moment they met in her office.
Their chemistry was undeniable both physically and emotionally. The love scenes are sensual, hot and explosive. Did I mention inventive as well???

Lest I forget to mention “bacon” condoms…no…not giving more away on that subject…r just read the book and find out more about it!!!!
Loved how their relationship developed over time.
Great secondary characters – quirky, lovable, endearing, engaging and delightful.
This being the 1st book in the author’s new series and I can’t wait for Vinny’s book!!!
Thank you Vi, for providing me with an ARC copy and I want to let you know….you have changed my views about cage fighters!!!!!!! If they are anything like Nico…I’m gonna be at the next fight!!!!...more
I discovered Emme Rollins when I read her fabulous book Dear Rockstar, which I loved. So I was really excited when Buried Secrets was announced. I wasI discovered Emme Rollins when I read her fabulous book Dear Rockstar, which I loved. So I was really excited when Buried Secrets was announced. I was aware that it was a totally different kind of book…no rockstars…and I wondered if I was going to like it as much as the first.
As there have been so many awesome reviews previously written which include a lot of information of the story summary, I have decided to just write down my feelings and thoughts after finishing reading the last page.
Emme Rollins’s writing continues to impress me. It’s smooth, flowing really well, making it an easy read. Fast paced plot that keeps you glued to your seat, with unexpected twists and turns. You are kept guessing until the very end.
From the very beginning, the story pulled me in. The pain and sadness and loss that Dusty felt at losing her beloved twin brother was unbearable at times for me. There is no way one can truly understand her heartache. Having to bury a person she had loved with all her heart. How can one ever overcome such tragedy?
The vividness of her descriptions made me picture the setting that the story takes place in, really well. The small town, the people and their reactions to the horrors happening around them is totally believable.
I liked the character development, especially of Dusty and Shane. Their growing romance is so sweet and lovely. I was totally engaged with these two.
A good mystery, filled with suspense, horror, friendship, family and a lot more that just kept me intrigued until the very last page. And if you like a good love story, some added suspense and thrills, then get this book.

And if you are one of those who haven’t met Jack and Sidney – don’t wait another day….. Grab those books and get started…..with book #1 and onto #2. You will not be sorry I promise!!!!
Fabulous and sexy story line, well developed characters, great settings, witty dialogue and naturally hot and sizzling romance between the two very endearing and engaging mc’s and some rather quirky and totally lovable secondary characters…yes I even found myself liking Jenna, that slutty porn star still trying to get her claws on Jack…no don’t worry..she hasn't got a chance….and of course I adored Sienna…is there any chance we will get her story I wonder!!!!
Liked seeing the relationship between Syd & Jack progressed…..how they dealt with their insecurities and being apart from each other and finally coming to terms with issues that needed to be resolved before finding their HEA.
Loved the epilogue…..i loved seeing these two….finally happy together. And the cover…….fabulous, gorgeous, stunning, dazzling…….

I received an ARC copy from the author for an honest review – and I can’t thank Vi Keeland enough for it!!! Ooh the cover!!!!!!!!! I absolutely love itI received an ARC copy from the author for an honest review – and I can’t thank Vi Keeland enough for it!!! Ooh the cover!!!!!!!!! I absolutely love it. It had me wanting to get into the story immediately. Could I ever resist not falling for Jack Cole? So not!!!
And from the first page I just knew I was going to love the story of Sydney & Jack – two people who meet and feel a sudden and strong connection, a certain chemistry, not only sexual (which is pretty hot and intense) that just takes over everything we feel and ever felt.
Sydney being dumped before her wedding and deciding to go on her paid honeymoon with her best friend Siena was the best thing ever. And the sinfully gorgeous, sexy and rich Jack Cole, with many dark secrets would never have found the woman who would change his life forever.
I loved the first few paragraphs……and wow, from then onward just had to keep going and going until I reached last page.
“Can I get you something to drink?” Startled out of my daydream by the perky flight attendant, it took me a minute to snap out of my thoughts. I was in such a fog that I couldn't be sure if I had just woken, and the last week was a dream, or if it was really an unforgettable memory. “I’ll have a vodka cranberry and she’ll have a Merlot. You’ll have to excuse her; she’s spent the last week fucking her brains out with a gorgeous stranger and can’t seem to snap out of it.” Sienna smiled to the appalled flight attendant, a pleasant looking mid forties woman who was wearing way too many pins on her bulging uniform. From the look on her face, I was sure the flight attendant wasn't used to a raunchy mouth like Sienna in first class
Sydney decided to spoil herself for the week on the island but fate tends to change things sometimes. Her first meeting with Jack…..wow…irresistible man!!!!!
“Another round for the ladies and all my friends, please.” The deep velvety voice immediately sent a shiver up my spine. I turned to trace the voice to the face and was met with the most startling green eyes I had ever seen. I wasn't sure if it was the alcohol or the man, but I gasped and felt goose bumps break out on my arms. The eyes smiled down at me and I was momentarily unable to break the gaze. I blinked, forcing my eyes to escape the hold, and slowly looked down and realized that the captivating green eyes were attached to the most magnificent man I had ever seen, who was staring at me, watching me take him in.
I loved Sydney. She’s one of those characters that you just cannot help really liking. Cute, sassy, kind and hot damn passionate too…something she believed she could never be. But soon she discovers more about Jack than just how sexy he is….the hotness and sensuality when they first “get together”. Erotic and sexy!!!
It begins like this -
Oh. My. God. I had to recross my legs and clamp my thighs tightly together to keep my body from responding to just his words. “Are you wearing underwear?” His voice was low and raspy. I heard the desire pour from his words. “Question number 4.” I bit my lip and hesitated for a brief second. “ No.” I barely finished my word when Jack had lifted me up and out of my seat and grabbed my hand heading for the door. We passed the waiter bringing out dessert as we flew by him. “Put it on my room, Eduardo.” He yelled to the poor confused waiter without slowing down his pace. I had to practically run behind him just to keep up with the pace that he was dragging me at.
And continues –
He trailed kisses along the arch of my foot, traveling up the inside of my calf. I was instantly reduced to a quivering mess of anticipation. He worked his tongue with skill over every part of my legs, gently alternating between nipping and sucking as he burned a path up my body. When he reached between my legs, he paused, taking his time to look at my most intimate area that was bared to him. His armed wrapped around my lower back and he raised my pelvis so that I had a clear line of vision to watch him. Every part of my body was on high alert, sensitive to every movement and desperate for more of his touch.
Smooth writing style making easy reading,with great and witty dialogue. Great characters (loved Siena…she’s so uber-cool) that are endearing and likable. Great settings. Loved the music angle...i am so totally into rockers!!!!!!!
Loved Sydney’s “tippy toes”!!!!!!!
I liked that the story happen over a period of time and not just a quickie “ first time we see each other and fall in love and live happily ever after”. There are a lot of issues that both mc’s have to deal with before they are able to be together and I did like the slow build-up to some unexpected revelations. I was totally invested in Jack & Sydney and I look forward to the next book to see how far they have come towards their HEA.
This is the first book written by this author and I am looking forward to reading more from her.
So, if you want a fabulous, erotic and sensual story, with a solid and interesting plot, with lovable characters, then read Belong To Me.
