Lori Foster always delivers!

The secret life of Bryan by Lori Foster is a great novel- it picks up the story of bounty hunter, Bryan, who was introduced in her previous novel (say no to Joe). But for those who haven't read that, this story stands on its own as well. Bryan is masquerading as his brother, bruce, a preacher who runs a safe house for prostitutes. Bruce was attacked and Bryan is taking his place to find out why. Bryan meets Shay--a wealthy socialite who is posing as a prostitute so that she can get closer to the girls and help them. Shay and Bryan have instant chemistry but there are many lies that threaten their budding romance. Complicating things, is that someone is indeed after the preacher and now Shay as well. And it is someone they know and trust. The story is fast paced, the ending is great- you never guess the identity of the stalker or the accomplice. It reintroduces characters from Foster's previous books- like Joe Winston, Luna, Jamie (the strange psychic). It also gives us new people to like and await their stories- like Bryan's brother bruce, Joe's sister etc. This book has a little bit of everything- mystery, romance, suspence. Its a great summer read.

A rollicking good time!

Lori Foster has done it again! SECRET LIFE lets you meet Bryan who is really a bounty hunter but is masquerading as his twin brother Bruce, the preacher. Talk about a chance for interesting interaction! Bryan is a lover of all things sensual and now he has to pretend to be a man who is more concerned with the other side of life. Throw in Shay who is pretending to be something a bit different from what she truly is and naturally fireworks will fly. I adore how Lori lets the reader into the mind of her characters, especially the male mind. I highly recommend this book as a fun read. You've done it again Lori!

Steamy and Fun!

It's a double case of mistaken identity! Bryan Kelly is a bounty hunter, but he is doing a pretty good job of impersonating his identical twin brother Bruce, a preacher. He mistakes Shay Sommers for a prostitute and tries to help her get off the streets and into a shelter. Little does he know that Shay is a wealthy widow with the same goal, to help ladies of the night leave their old lives behind. Bryan is nothing like any preacher Shay has ever met and she can't seem to convince herself that falling for him is a bad idea. Bryan is having the same problem. How can he fall for a hooker? Shay feels she can be even more helpful by really getting to know the other women at the shelter, so she doesn't want to admit her true identity. Bryan is trying to find out who hurt his brother, so he's not letting anyone in on his secret either! The chemistry between Shay and Bryan is undeniable. What will happen when the truth comes out?THE SECRET LIFE OF BRYAN is warm and funny, with plenty of steam in all the right places. There's a wonderful cast of supporting characters, especially the women Shay meets at the shelter. I loved revisiting Joe and Luna and the others from Say No to Joe? And I've been waiting a long time to read about Shay, the older sister of Brandi Sommers in Fantasy! Lori Foster has written another keeper.

It's a keeper!!!!

What would you do if you were mistaken as a prostitute, and on top of that, you felt a very strange attraction to a preacher?Well, that's exactly the mess Shay's life had turned into.And said preacher, Bryan, wasn't far behind. There was nothing he wouldn't do for his twin brother, even if it meant passing as a preacher; even if it meant having the hots for a woman - a prostitute, no less. If to find out who was trying to hurt his brother he had to stand his attraction - plus taking care of a bunch of prostitutes - he would do it.As the continuing part of "Say not to Joe", "The Secret Life of Bryan" will keep you stuck to the seat, bed, or any place you may be reading the book on. You won't be able to take your eyes off it till you finish. It is all a mix of suspense, intrigue, friendship, love and steamy-hot scenes that will melt you down to your bones.What are you waiting for? Buy this book now! You won't regret it.
