My Secret Life by Lori Wilde

Slightly boring Blaze romance

2 stars

Graphic artist Katie Winfield is blue-blooded, pretty and has a great life – except when it comes to guys. Her latest faux pas included seducing a hot guy at a masquerade ball. A hot guy that turned out to be her sister’s ex-boyfriend.

Determined to take charge of her love life, Katie joins the Martinis and Bikinis Club – a group that specialises in very naughty dares. The man she chooses as her unknowing accomplice is none other than Liam James, her man from the masquerade ball. The pair have chemistry but will they be able to make it work when the dares are over?

I’m sorry to say that this story just didn’t work for me. The story itself, despite the idea of the Martini Dares, was a little too formulaic and forced, and I didn’t really believe in it, or enjoy it. The two main characters were okay but it did seem like I was reading about two rich and beautiful people being rich and beautiful together. Not very exciting.

I was determined to get through the story as it wasn’t offensive in any way – just bland. Unfortunately, things kept coming up that seemed more important than finishing the book (tv, cooking, even ironing!). As I said, it’s not terrible or unpleasant in any way, it just didn’t grip me and I found it rather obvious. Fans of Lori Wilde might still enjoy it or if you are reading through the Martini Dares mini-series which this is part of. I’ve read worse books so I can’t give it only 1 star but it’s still only 2 stars from me, I’m afraid.
