Best-selling authors Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy return with their first Male/Male romance in 3 years.

LobsterShorts, 21. Jock. Secretly a science geek. Hot AF.

LobsterShorts: So. Here goes. For her birthday, my girlfriend wants…a threesome.

SinnerThree: Then you’ve come to the right hookup app.

LobsterShorts: Have you done this sort of thing before? With another guy?

SinnerThree: All the time. I’m an equal opportunity player. You?

LobsterShorts: [crickets!]

SinnerThree, 21. Finance major. Secretly a male dancer. Hot AF.

SinnerThree: Well, I’m down if you are. My life is kind of a mess right now. School, work, family stress. Oh, and I live next door to the most annoying dude in the world. I need the distraction. Are you sure you want this?

LobsterShorts: I might want it a little more than I’m willing to admit.

SinnerThree: Hey, nothing wrong with pushing your boundaries....

LobsterShorts: Tell that to my control-freak father. Anyway. What if this threesome is awkward?

SinnerThree: Then it’s awkward. It’s not like we’ll ever have to see each other again. Right? Just promise you won’t fall in love with me.

LobsterShorts: Now wouldn’t that be life-changing....

Q&A about Top Secret:

Loved it - pulled me in from the start!

*Contains Spoilers*

This was a hot read - and I don't say that for the sex scenes, although they were hot as well. This was all about exploration and anticipation - the anonymous text conversations between Luke and Keaton allowed them to express their feelings and desires openly, and explore without any feeling of judgement or shame. Sometimes its easier to type something than say it to someone's face. The 'not knowing' who the other was adding to the tension and vibe of their encounters, and helped set the scene for the book.

This is definitely not a love triangle! I enjoyed the way it evolved and that Keaton and his ex remained close friends despite moving on from each other. There was also no cheating - it might be a fine line as to whether some of the conversations and challenges set between Luke and Keaton bordered on cheating, or whether that was just them confirming Annika's birthday present was going to be feasible, but it was done in a way that made me feel it was the latter. That Keaton and Annika remained on good terms, and that he and Luke didn't connect soon after their breakup, helped with that feeling throughout the book.

The storyline was intriguing, flowed well and kept me turning page after page. I was thoroughly invested in both of these guys, their respective issues and for them to get their HEA - whatever form that took.

Definitely a book I would recommend and I look forward to reading more from this duo!

So if you have not read the book "Him" by these lovely ladies, gtfo and go read that.
If you have read that then this is another must have for you. Luke and Keat are super cute together, the side characters have just enough depth to make you wish to hang out with them without taking over the main focus. The romance was mild (the sex was not mild), it was a more hot college fun becomes love thing and so well put together.
I loved this story and hated that i had to work today and wait until tonight before i was able to finish. 5 Stars

Top Secret is the first m/m I've read by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy. I'm not even going to admit how long I've had Him and Us waiting to be read on my iPad, but I've bumped them right up my TBR list to read over the next couple of weeks.

This storyline contained quite a few things I love - for starters, being m/m. It had that little bit of angst, lots of great banter, AND one of my big favourites, a Bonus Epilogue. Bonus Epilogues are those magic words that get me so excited, I can't wait for that little bit extra once I've finished reading. Luke and Keaton were so much fun to read, and kept me glued to my IPad all afternoon. Great way to spend a few hours on a Sunday arvo.

These 2 authors are magic together.

Reviewed in Australia on 8 May 2019

I first fell in love with these 2 with Him, Us and the rest of that series. Their characters are relatable and flawed but they come together to make a beautiful story.
Keaton was too comfortable with Annika, he just hadn’t realised it yet but she did.
Luke has had a rough life and just wanted to make something of himself, but has a hard time trusting people.
They first get to know the behind the scenes version of each other, up when they realise who they’re actually talking to, that’s when life gets complicated.
In the end, they gave each other the strength and courage that they needed to overcome their issues so that they could be together.

Witty, sexy, gorgeous m/m romance.

Reviewed in Australia on 12 May 2019

Elle and Sarina are a great writing duo and they have the gift of crafting wonderful and intense m/m romances. I suspect that Elle wrote Luke’s story, boy from the wrong side of the tracks meets Sabrina’s Keaton who has it all and more. How they connect is terrific, I love it when connection starts via the written word. In this case Lobster shorts connects with SinnerThree. The exchanges were delightful, sexy and intriguing. When they finally meet hilarious. If you enjoy romance, humor and exceptional writing then you will love this book. My only issue is that their book ‘Him’ is one of my all time favorite romances that I read again and again. Sadly no matter how many books they write they will never woo me away from Him as my fave by this writing combo.
This is an intense, witty beautiful book and you will enjoy it.

🎧 💖 A Fantastic Book and Audio

🎧 💖 This story is a great one and beautiful narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Christian Fox.
A story of a two blokes enemies of such from two different lives becoming lovers. Keaton was straight with his girlfriend wanting a threesome. An app hook up begins with some great texting conversations. Luke was a hard working student with big dreams. Includes Bi character, stripper, LOL moments, hot sexy scenes, gay virgin and more. The narrators do a fantastic job of different vocals for the characters. The story I loved each having their moments of happy and sadness. Acceptance of sexuality is a big theme in the story with some angst.

Ahh I am so annoyed I waited so long to read this, it was so freaking good. I was hooked right from the beginning until the very end.
I loved the characters, this is definitely an opposites attract story. Keaton is fun, caring, open and knows weird facts about animals. Luke is prickly, quick to go on the defensive and doesn’t trust easily. Yet these two are drawn to each other after some anonymous texting before they find out who the other is.
Love it and I would love to see more from some of the side characters in the future.

Five Huge Lobster Sexy Stars.

This book was freaking awesome,i love a MM read and these two authors delivered this just right.This book was a enemies to lovers story that was hilarious and a sexy fun read.

It starts with Keaton a rich popular jock who lives in Alpha Delt whose girlfriend wants to spice up there sex life with a threesome for her 21st birthday pressant,so asks Keaton to look into getting another male to join them on her special night.This is new for them both so he joins a app called kinky for hookups, this opens his eyes to a totally new world where he meets SinnerThree.

Luke is on a scholarship to Derby college who doesn't come from a rich background so has to work hard to afford his rent and food from month to month.His plan is to win the race for the president of Alpha Delt the frat house where he is living as the winner gets free rent for the year.Luke is not confused about who he is and what he likes as he is bi so likes both men and women so uses the hookup ap kinky with his user name being SinnerThree.

Keaton uses the name LobsterShorts for his hookup name to find a third for his girlfriend and there up and coming threesome, and starts messaging SinnerThree little knowing who he is as they don't use there real indentities ,this is where it gets funny with all the back and forwards sexting as they both start to like the other guy and it starts to get more and more sexy the more they sexting each other.I don't really want to get into the plot you will have to read it for yourself.

Luke and Keaton's journey is complicated and doesn't run smoothly at all,there is no cheating in this story, just thought i would put this out there if you was wondering.You will get to see a connection start to form between this couple and you wouldn't of put them together at first but i did love this couple when they got there act together,and the hot and steamy scenes between them was mind blowing

This story was full of angst,heat and hilarious sexting but also with lots of drama,The ending was just swoon worthy i loved it,love always wins in the end.Totally love this book.Five Huge Lobster Stars.

Super sexy, mm romance from the go-to authors who never disappoint

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2019

Luke Bailey has won a scholarship to Darby College, he's a local but his family is toxic so he rushed Alpha Delta fraternity in order to get housing. He's working two jobs (bar and stripper) just to afford the rent on the smallest room in the frat house and living off cheese sandwiches. He's got a plan, the President gets free board at the frat house so he's going to stand for President against preppy, entitled jock Keaton Hayward.

Keaton Hayward III is third generation Apha Delta, his father (the CEO of a bif pharmaceutical company) and grandfather were both Presidents of the fraternity and he is aiming to do the same. When his sweet, but vanilla high school girlfriend says she wants a three-way for her twenty-first birthday present Keaton is surprised but happy to go along. He signs them up (anonymously) to a hook-up site called Kink and starts vetting potential matches for his gf's big surprise.

When Keaton and Luke start messaging on the app as LobsterShorts and SinnerThree things start off business-like with Luke testing whether Keaton is really happy with the ramifications of his gf's choices, but soon Keaton is sharing his geeky facts about mating in the animal kingdom and the two of them are developing a relationship.

What can I say, two of my favourite authors. I've noticed a theme in their college novels which tend to start off really raunchy and factor 100 on the phoar scale but become sweeter as the characters develop their relationship. This is definitely a rich-guy/poor-guy romance, it's about reaching for what you really want and standing up for yourself and what's right. It's 100% Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy sweet, sexy, articulate, romantic, funny love conquers all.

Wonderful.

“Someone helping him from the goodness of their heart is completely inconceivable to him, and damned if that isn’t one of the saddest things I’ve ever encountered.”

I’ve been in a weird reading funk lately, and it seems the only thing capable of pulling me out is some delicious romance.

This isn’t your typical boy meets boy and they fall hard kind of story, and I loved that.

Keaton and Luke both have baggage and I loved how their relationship seemed to embolden them both to make the changes they wanted to make in their lives alone.

The story itself isn’t just about an unlikely relationship but about two people with very different backgrounds. Keaton's story proves that money can buy a lot of things, but happiness and acceptance aren’t part of the package. Luke’s story proves that he doesn’t need to give anything in exchange for love, only himself, which isn’t easy for him.

It also went into friendship territory, that true friendship is acceptance, no amount of bro code can make things okay when your friends can’t accept who you are.

Gosh it tugged on my heartstrings.

I really enjoyed this. It was recommended by a friend, and I’ll definitely look into the other books written by Sarina and Elle.

Disappointed 2.5*

Not totally terrible but nowhere near as good as HIM and US or even Sarina’s other MM books.

It was pretty cliched and formulaic of first time gay at college, frats and rich boy from overbearing family vs. poor boy and silly misunderstandings that talking would have resolved. I didn’t like the way a lot of things seemed to happen off page and I really struggled to connect to both of the MCs.

The first couple of chapters were good but from there it really went downhill and I would class some of the things that happened as cheating. Whether online or in person.

I don’t think I will be keeping these authors as a one click anymore.

4.5 stars from me. Nothing can really compare to HIM which I suppose is a shame for the authors, but I liked KHIII and wanted to smack Luke several times...although in view of his dreadful family and the fact that he was as poor as a church mouse, I suppose I can understand that he wouldn't exactly be of a trustworthy nature when someone who'd never been with a guy before came calling...and then kept on wanting to call 😉. Oh, and btw I HATED Judd...obnoxious!!

There were plenty of sexy times in this story, Keat discovered he had a submissive kink too and Luke?? Well, he discovered that he loved listening to Keat twittering on about sexy facts of nature and his proposed trip to Chile to find an undiscovered whale...Now, if I can just find an actual URL where I can download the epilogue for this story, I'll be a really happy bunny...😁 [PS...the epilogue is available by signing up to Sarina/Elle's website].
