Dear Fellow Bookworms,

I need your help.

I, Rachel Rose, am in quite the pickle with a hot-as-sin English Lit professor by the name of Ty Winslow, and I don’t know how to get out of it.

Let me break it down for you:

Girl meets Guy.

Girl gives Guy her underwear on a dare but nothing else identifying (like her name or number) because she plans to never see Guy again.

But Girl does see Guy again, in a very professional setting, where she is to be the Teaching Assistant to his Professor for an entire semester.

Girl would like to ignore all events of the past, but Guy is a whole list of tempting things that are hard to resist. (See below:)

#1: Insanely attractive.
#2: The most fun a girl could ever have.
#3: Successful and intelligent.
#4: He can quote Walt Whitman at the drop of a hat—which I’m sure you know is a dangerous thing for a literature-lover.
#5: Smooth with a capital S. He could charm the panties off a woman WITHOUT the help of a dare.

And now, Mr. Hot Professor, the man I’m determined to resist, is challenging me to a competition—a playful, secret game, so to speak—where the winner takes all.

My plan? Play the game long enough to win—long enough to walk away with the upper hand—without doing something stupid like falling in love.

It’s possible...right?

If you have any advice, please reach out to me soon—before it’s too late.

XOXO,
Rachel

Ty Winslow is an English-Lit professor at New York University. Thankfully, the head of the department, Nathaniel Rose has taken him under his wing to help him grow. Ty tends to be the love 'em and leave 'em type never getting serious, just having a good time. When Ty attends his brother's grand opening of his new idea, The Secret Club....where fun sensuous challenges are done, he's shocked when a gorgeous woman comes up to him while dancing; flirts with him and then hands him her barely there underwear and walks away. Dang that was hot!

Back at work after winter break, Nate asks Ty if he would let his youngest daughter, Rachel be his TA for the next semester. Of course Ty agrees not realizing who his daughter is. When Rachel and Ty meet again she pretends like she doesn't know him and their fun little game begins. The two of them keep doing or saying things to the other to catch them off guard. There are MANY fun, laugh out loud moments. Of course the more time these two spend together, the more their desires flare until they finally give in. Now that they crossed that line, they can't seem to stop and have to keep their relationship a secret. Everything is going wonderfully until it all blows up. It will take some looking deep down inside oneself to realize that they have to trust in this relationship in order for it to work but once that is realized, they have the perfect happy ending!

I just adored this steamy, forbidden type of romance story. Ty was just oozing with sensuality and was so HOT. I loved how Rachel enjoyed their little game of back and forth and kept one-upping Ty. This story had wonderful characters and a fun, laugh out loud story line. You also get a glimpse into Remy's story!

4 1/2 Stars for My First Max Monroe Book!
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2022
Verified Purchase
This was my first Max Monroe book and I enjoyed it! I will admit that it kinda started to drag a little for me when they finally got together, but it picked up after that. I'm not saying I don't like the HEAT but it seemed like that's all they were doing for a few chapters. Made me wonder if they were going to actually have a relationship. But Max came through and showed them actually getting to know each other and forming a bond that was pretty amazing!
I did love Ty! I mean, he was the ultimate player but he embraced it and didn't lead women on. But like a true player, he just hadn't met his match yet. I loved his family so much! They are the ultimate large, loud, noisy family that I would love to belong to!! And the banter between the brothers and his mom is fantastic!
Rachel was kind of a difficult character for me. I loved how strong she was and how she loved herself, but I hated the way she was with her father! I wanted to see her stand up to him sooner and act like the confident woman she was with him! Loved her sister, Lydia, and her wife. That whole dynamic was wonderful.
Why I only gave it 4 1/2 stars is because I felt like the tension between Rachel and her father was resolved in a snap! I realize Ty had something to do with it, but I find it hard to believe that this stoic man realized the error in his ways so quickly. I would have liked to see more hashing out between Rachel and him.
I did enjoy the book and would recommend it to anyone. Now I'm interested in reading about the other brothers in the Winslow family!!

This one definitely did not disappoint!

I LOVE a teacher/student book. The great thing about this one is that it’s two grown adults and he’s technically her TA, not her actual professor. But the touch of forbidden added a whole lot of steam. For the record, if you’re worried about age he’s 39 and she’s 26. There’s an age gap, but he’s so freaking immature that he didn’t feel 39 at all. They acted the same age to me. Which was not a bad thing.

Ty is the ultimate playboy, but I loved that Rachel is happy about that! She actually has a few lines where she’s thankful to all the women that came before her because they taught Ty to be so awesome in the sack. She’s not a V-card holder herself. I loved seeing a woman so proud of her sexuality and so proud to be with a man who is experienced and has learned from that experience. I wouldn’t want it in every book, but I loved its use here.

I haven’t kept up with the entire Winslow family. I’ll be honest, the fact that each of these books start with some scene of the brothers kind of turns me off. I don’t know what about it turns me off, but they’re not really getting my attention. I considered putting this book down. In fact, twice I put it down and went to do other things. But I’m so glad I picked it back up because when it’s started getting good it shot straight to great in a matter of moments. The scenes where they’re dealing with the great panty game are top notch! And I definitely want to take an English class with Professor Ty Winslow.

Overall, I definitely give this book five stars. I don’t think I’d go all the way to four chili peppers, but it’s more than three. If I had to ice cream flavor it? Moose tracks. It’s got a slower start in my opinion, but stick with if for just a bit. Just until the end of the chapter where they meet each other as professor and TA. You will not want to stop after that.

Loved Rachel and Ty! Favourite Winslow Brother.

I loved Ty and Rachel so much! The first time they meet each other has to be one of my favourites of all time!

Ty's a bit of playboy, likes a bit of a joke, doesn't take life seriously. Whilst he is out with his brothers celebrating, one of his brothers new venture, even Ty is a bit surprised when a beautiful woman, that he has never seen before walks up hands him hands him something of hers that he was expecting! Rachel is a strong sassy heroine, though her Dad does like to interfere in her life, just a bit which she is how she ends up being a TA to Professor Winslow also known as hotest guy at the club and owner of Rachel's............

I laughed so much reading this, I had tears running down my face from laughing so much. Their connection and chemistry was instant! I can't wait for Remi's story though I will be sad to say goodbye to these Winslow brothers and this group! Massive 5 stars from me.

I don't know why but for some reason I put off reading this series for a while. Once I started reading it however, I completely devoured all 4 books in a week. The whole series was great, so entertaining, and sweet, heartfelt and steamy. I absolutely love Max Monroe books, there's something about them that just feels like an early 2000's rom com. This one was a great another great addition, I loved them all but I think either Flynn or Remi are my favourites. All the stories were equally entertaining. Deffs worth the read. Happy reading!

A ideia da provocação e do joguinho entre os personagens principais foi maravilhosa, cativa e de prende até ver onde vai dar. Mas acho q próximo do final ess e foco se perdeu pro clichê normal, não desmerecendo tem ótimos momentos, mas acabou perdendo um pouco do toque inicial. No geral a estória é boa, muito provocante, cômica e te prende bastante pra saber como vai se desenrolar e embora tenha poucas partes picantes (3.5/5) elas fomentam os momentos necessários. O que uma calcinha não faz ;)

Oh my what a fantastic read this one was! I can’t get enough of the Winslow crew and I think this just may be my favourite one yet! The Secret is book 3 of the Winslow Brothers series by @

As always Max Manroe knows how to keep you laughing out loud, the conversations between the brothers, text messages, joking all that is just fantastic! And let’s not forget a fun meet cute and great little game main characters Ty and Rachel play at the start of this book!

Ty is brilliant! Easy to fall in love with him and his ridiculous ways!
I love how strong, smart and confident Rachel is! She really gives him a run for his money and can easily be the one to bring him to him knees!
It’s this intense sexual tension and chemistry they have between but also this underlying instant connection that had a little tug-of war going on inside them both. They know they should maintain a profession relationship, but you can feel this pull between. That goes so much deeper than just lust.

So playful with each other, shows how connected and comfortable they are. But at the same they bring out the best qualities in one another. They challenge each other both academically and personally.

There is some obstacles these two both have to overcome, and it was great watching them navigate it. There was a sense of realistic problems that people face in every day life.

I couldn’t put this book down, it was captivating I could stop laughing and the spice level with these two….off the charts!

Can’t wait to see what these authors have in mind for eldest brother Remy!!
