A Secret One (Lighter Ones) Kindle Edition

by Aleatha Romig (Author), Letitia Hasser (Illustrator), Lisa Aurello (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 765 ratings
Standing beside my best friend, in front of family and friends, as she proclaims her love to her future husband, my mind should be on her. As maid of honor, I should be attentive and helpful.
I’m trying.
The problem is the man in the second row—her soon-to-be brother-in-law.
Trevor Willis is sweet and sexy with green eyes that hold my attention as well as my secrets.
For example: How can his smile make my heart beat faster? Why does his laugh turn my insides to jelly? What is he thinking as his stare heats my skin? And most importantly, how did I end up waking in his hotel suite bed on the morning of my best friend’s wedding to his brother?
Learn the answers in A SECRET ONE, a prequel novella to ANOTHER ONE!

    A first-time reader of Aleatha Romig, I absolutely loved this short yet very entertaining story. There is humor, emotion, and two wonderful characters, and the setup for the upcoming book about this couple is original and skillfully executed. A SECRET ONE is enchantingly clever during every single scene.

    The best friend of Shana Price is getting married, and as the maid of honor, she arrives in time for the rehearsal. But on the day of the wedding, her morning starts off being awakened by the brother of the groom because she is in bed with Trevor Willis. Since the two just met the night before, Shana is totally confused by what is going on yet cannot help but be captivated by his charm.

    Personalities shine through when Shana and Trevor converse, and I enjoyed getting some insight into their inner thoughts. Both are very likable individuals, and they come across as so realistic. There were numerous moments where I could not keep from smiling because of what was taking place. I have discovered a new author whose writing really captures my imagination.

    This was such a good start to a very promising romcom story. It was very short (which is exactly why it’s a novella) but it was too good and too short. I can’t wait to get my hands on Another One.

    I’m also pleasantly surprised. Having read some of Aleatha’s dark romance, I found myself on guard for some possible plot twists. So far, it seems to be a lighthearted romance book I’ll definitely enjoy. 😁

    Loved this prequel to Aleatha’s next -Another One

    Shana is priceless and funny and Trevor is just sexy and so darn good and hot and just lovely, these two together will make an epic book.

    Just like Kimbra and Duncan in Plus One I can see Aleatha bringing out the funny side of these characters along with the serious and sensual side of them.

    Will the distance between these two with where they live be a hindrance or will they beat it all and have a HEA, only time will tell.

    This short book though sets you up for the fuller version and if going by this book is any indication then Another One will be an amazing story.

    I look forward to release day of Another One and thank you Aleatha for this novella, such a great way to set my taste buds alive ready for the rest of Shana and Trevor’s story

    “At the risk of injuring your self-confidence, can you tell me about last night?”
    “Are you asking for a story?”
    “I’m asking for the truth.”

    A Secret One was the next stop on my list to prep for the release of Another One later this month! After finishing Plus One and reading about Kimbra and Duncan, I was excited to get this little tease of Shana and Trevor in this quick little novella. Only 4 chapters long, it’ll give you a taste of what happened between these two the night before Kimbra and Duncan’s wedding. I’d already met Shana in Plus One but Trevor was only just mentioned in that book and in just these 4 quick chapters I can already tell that I am going to love him. He seems very different from Duncan (who I also loved) but he seems incredibly charming and humble and I can’t wait to spend more time with these two when their story continues in Another One!!

    A Secret One by Aleatha Romig was a great quick read. This is a prequel to Another One. Shana and Trevor are a couple that you fall for immediately. Shana is there for her best friend's wedding, not to hook up with her best friend's future brother-in-law. I can't wait to read more of this series.

    This is a short insight into Another One, Aleatha’s next release.
    It’s the night before her Best Friends wedding, Shara, makes a quick stop at the bar before heading to her hotel room.
    She wakes up in the morning mortified she is not alone, turning to look she realises it’s Trevor, brother of the Groom, with mesmerising green eyes staring back at her.
