The best kisses are the ones kept a secret.
Billionaire business guru Charles is a love ‘em and leave ‘em kind of guy. That’s certainly no secret. Unlike the affair he’s about to engage in with August who is half his age. A younger man he really has no business calling Sir.
Auggie is only supposed to be pet-sitting for his father and step-dad while they are on their honeymoon. Not kissing Charles and making him laugh. Not buying his favorite food and taking him out on dates.
One night is what they agreed on. A secret shared between only their lips as Charles discovers he’s not so straight. But maybe one night can become two...and even more...After all, anything’s possible as long as they don’t get caught.
This is the first book in the Secrets & Scandal duology featuring two men whose affairs must be kept secret to avoid a scandal. Part 2, Scandal will be out shortly. Both books must be read together.
Secrets & Scandal features supporting characters from the Taking Caring trilogy but can be read on its own.

My Rating - 5 Stars!
Damn, Gianni Holmes once again has blown me away with Scandal. The second book in the Secrets & Scandal Duology, it's a riveting wrap-up to this set of stories.
First, this is an extremely messy romance, with multiple connections and issues. It's complicated, it's ugly, and it's amazing!!! Seriously, I couldn't put it down as it's 100% mesmerizing.
Second, this is a BDSM romance, with the younger man being the Dom. And the passion is off the charts! If you like intense passion, you will love these men and quickly devour their story.
This is a multi-layered tale with a lot of angst and some twists included. But for these men, it's all about the connection. They might fight it, they might try to deny it, but the overwhelming connection is ever present throughout.
Yes, one of the characters is married and is having a child, but is involved with someone else. Do not let this scare you away. The marriage is seriously not a real marriage. It's written in a way that it is not "cheating."
And I absolutely love the forbidden aspects of this story, with the secreted nature being completely warranted, on multiple levels.
The writing is stellar. Gianni Holmes excels in creating intriguing characters and taking them through a complex journey. The world building, with connections to the Taking Care series, is amazingly well done. More than anything though, I am just so damn impressed with the way Gianni connects everything and makes things not only so damn messy, but also extremely emotional and satisfying. The way she manages to balance everything continues to be impressive.
Scandal is one hell of a fun read. Definitely read this Gianni Holmes book (and series) is you enjoy complicated BDSM stories. In these books, it's all about the need for BDSM and the desire to give into one's needs and wants. And I freaking love it. Gianni Holmes is one hell of a can't miss author!
