  Un romance de oficina con segunda oportunidad y una bendición.
  
  Estuvo entretenido, mas no memorable.
  
  Los dos protagonistas tuvieron sus actitudes malas.
  
  Con un final feliz bonito.

  Disappointing. Love nothing more than a well written second chance/secret baby story. This was not it. Characterisations were so off and don’t laugh but the plot-line really implausible. She just blurted out a massive secret to another employee who she was just becoming friends with. No way. His reaction to the news: so understanding!! And his petty jealously? Come on, he was meant to be a CEO of a successful company yet he shouted at a major client to get out of his office and didn’t immediately notice a dodgy looking made-up email. Their daughter was 7, yet was regularly got carried on her mothers hip, like a much younger child and she seemed to giggle whole a lot. Just not well thought out characterisations at all. It had a happy ending though so 2 stars for that!!

  Wes and Rian were rivals in college wanting the same internship. Rian gets the internship but also takes a secret with her when she leaves. Now years later she ends up working for Wes and they old sparks are there between them but what will happen when Wes finds out about the daughter, he didn’t know he had? Fast-paced read with steamy chemistry and a story with lots of drama and emotion. Great characters and an entertaining story. I liked it.

  I just loved this book. It was so well-written that it captured my mind and I was dragged along for the ride. Once I started reading I could not put it down until I read the last page.

  ONE PULSE POUNDING DELIGHT!!!
  Unbelievable! Annie unleashes one fantastic, block busting bombshell sending this baby into a tizzy, racing through a churning vortex, chocked full of unexpected events, blasting this baby wide open. Blundering through the trials and tribulations, along with a multitude of sharp twists and skeek turns, fuse this little fella together flawlessly. Meting out incredibly, well rounded scenario's that punch dead center with such intensity and precision, thrusting this baby into a tailspin with stunning results. An awesome storyline and gripping plot keeps you on the edge of your seat as everything falls into place with such perfection it leaves you craving more. The chemistry sizzles from the pages alluring and mesmerizing until you feel the electrifying hum through your veins. The characters are authentic and realistic with qualities and traits that blend into amazing personalities. The scenes are so colorfully descriptive it paints an elaborate backdrop that makes the storyline pop. Outstanding job Annie, thanks for sharing this little guy with us.

  What do you do when the one woman you had real feelings for comes back....in your life...in your workplace AND she has a big secret, take a deep breath. That is what happens to Wes and meeting up again with Rian is a good thing right!!! Well it is a shock to learn he has a daughter but he is in shock. Now for them both to deal with trust issues. A truly enjoyable story, loved it all

  I’ve read many books by this author, and this is one of my favourites. This is a second chance romance book that pulls you in from the first page.

  Wes and Rian were at college together and the most competitive against each other. So one night they spend together and the next she has left for internship he wanted.
  
  7 years later she is back to their hometown and has her employed to work for him. He doesn’t know it but he has a daughter. She needs to tell him but what’s gonna happen when he finds out?
  
  Whilst I didn’t mind the authors style of writing, I just couldn’t get over the plot or characters. Rian thought she had her reasons but they were stupid. She was stupid. I legit wanted to punch her. She kept moaning he couldn’t trust her... Hello!! You lied to him for years and kept his child from him. Wes had a sweet side but doormat much?! He came across a lot more understanding than most would have been in his situation. I just didn’t enjoy it. The child was 7 but being carried around on the hip?! It was all just a no from me

  In the last year I have read over 300 books with story line very similar. I felt like this book was missing substance. Would have been nice to know about Rian life in NYC felt like we weren’t getting much of a story. Nor did we get much history of Wes. And what the hell was Beths problem.

  Only got into chapter 3 when I realized this book wasn’t working for me. So, I quit reading. Why waste time on something you aren’t interested in?

  S per un segreto di Annie J Rose
  
  Seconda possibilità per questa autrice
  In realtà questa recensione sarà parecchio simile alla precedente perché questa autrice almeno per questa serie ha standardizzato moltissimo lo stile e tutto sommato anche la tipologia di racconto . Rian e Wes si incontrano e si amano una sola volta dopo l’università,ma si perdono di vista per motivi principalmente legati a una certa invidia professionale(Lei vincerà un tirocinio importante a discapito di lui) . Si incontrano dopo tanti anni perché lei torna nel Nebraska delusa dall’esperienza newyorkese. Seguiranno scintille facilmente intuibili …quello che lui non sa però è che lei ha comunque messo al mondo sua figlia e gliel’ha tenuta nascosta per ben sette anni. Di solito questo genere mi piace perché i figli segreti, e il second chance, se trattati bene su di me hanno sempre un certo fascino…il punto è che ci ritroviamo di nuovo di fronte agli stessi difetti della scorsa volta, che non sono di trama,ma stilistici .
  Troppa introspezione certe volte anche non necessaria,poco pochissimo dialogo, il sesso raccontato bene,ma inserito troppo frettolosamente e in modo abbastanza ingiustificato,la maniera troppo semplicistica con cui lui accetta la paternità con la gravante di ben sette anni di silenzio totale. L’epilogo troppo in là con tempo e che non fa capire il perché e il come la coppia sia arrivata dove arriva alla fine.
  Tutto un nodo emozionale che in realtà al lettore arriva tanto poco quanto niente. Più che un libro sembra un prodotto standardizzato in serie dove cambiano soltanto i nomi dei protagonisti ma la sostanza è sempre quella lì …la versione cartacea delle Nike airmax… sì insomma belle,ma ne ho già un altro paio di un altro colore. Non so se rendo.
  Sufficiente in generale come prodotto,ma non sufficiente per me a dare una terza opportunità .⭐️⭐️⭐️

  Okay - I liked the story, but I think the "s" for this book shouldn't so much be for "secret" but for "selfishness". This story is about Rian and Wes. In college they were very competitive in business. Well the one night that he became her knight by rescuing her, was also the night that they had a one night stand. She never thought she could feel anything for him as they were always trying to prove each other off. Of course, she leaves without a goodbye all because she got the internship he wanted and she was afraid to say something to him. He was left with a broken heart not just because of the internship, but because he actually felt something for her. Years go by as she returns home from NYC and has been hired in the same company which Wes is the CEO. Her secret will be discovered but will it affect the future she could have? Annie has a way of making every story end with a HEA, in which this one has it too, so you will not be disappointed.
  
  Although I know this is just a story, my personal opinion is that there was so much wrong when a person makes the decision to not let the other know that they are expecting, especially when the other parent wasn't abusive or bad in anyway. I can understand being a bit confused as they are both starting their lives, but six years later and still giving herself the logic that it is the right thing to do. I have a huge heart for kids and for a child to not have an opportunity to enjoy what could have been with a father all for a "selfishness" act of a mother, is unacceptable.

  This was an enjoyable story to read. Good storyline with in-depth characters. One of those times where communication, or lack of, makes all the difference.
  
  Rian and Wes were very competitive in their small town Nebraska college. When he taunted her to try for the internship that he was after in New York City, she didn't really think should would get it over him. At a graduation party, he saves her from a drunk who was all over her. He ends up taking her home and they enjoy each other through the night. The next day she left for New York. She didn't contact him again. Seven years later, she applies for a job back home in Nebraska after losing her job in NYC. After moving and showing up on her first day, she sees that her new boss just so happens to be Wes. She was hired by the owner of the company, George, who has since retired and put Wes in charge. She has to figure out a way to work things out with her job. She can't uproot her daughter again after just moving here.
  
  Wes is now the CEO of the company he has worked hard at forever. When George, the owner, wanted to retire, he put Wes in charge. He forgot to inform him that he hired a new person for Innovations. She is great in that position, but I can't keep my mind off of her. When we are together, it is all that I can do to keep my hands off of her. When we are pitching for the Investors in NYC and she gets a call about a daughter that I didn't know she has, we fly right back. When I see her daughter, I know she is mine.

  Rian and Wes were college rivals and lovers. When Rian got the internship that they both wanted she didn't say anything to Wes they shared an amazing night together and she left for the internship without saying goodbye. Now years later she's back in Nebraska for a new job and when she walks in to see her new boss she's surprised to see Wes. Wes is surprised when Rian is the new hire and wonders what has brought her back to Nebraska. Rian has to make this job work because she has been downsized twice now from her previous jobs and doesn't want to move her daughter again. She gets down to work and is doing a great job when she has to go out of town for work. So her assistant offers to watch her daughter while she's gone. However something happens and her daughter gets hurt and she needs to get back quickly so Wes comes back with her. Once Wes sees Rian's daughter her secret is no longer a secret. Their one night together created their daughter. What will he do? Can they make their relationship work?
  
  This is a great story that will captivate you from beginning to end. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

  I can’t imagine how I would handle the situation that Rian finds herself in when she returns home to Nebraska after several years and a huge secret. Especially, when that secret involves Wes a rival, a one-night stand, her new boss and the father of her seven year old daughter Ronny but, she goes with her logic and perspective. Rian never told Wes about being pregnant nor, he‘s a father. Rian’s secrets keep multiplying in order to keep her secret and her new job. She is just trying to do what she thinks is best even if there‘s doubt and guilt.
  
  I enjoyed the story and found myself trying to predict what the characters reactions would be as the secrets unfold. Other than, the bit of redunant thoughts that go through Wes and Rian’s minds, I think they both display a mature stand and try to see each other’s point of view. They manage to forge a path towards a future, that is, until Beth, Wes‘s assistant who takes an instant dislike towards Rian. The story keeps you interested to see how their story ends and for what the future may hold for this little family.
