I was excited about Ash and Ryan's chemistry and the good girl and bad boy vibe on the story. While I liked the story and the heartfelt chemistry, I did find Ryan to be naive at times and a little unbelievable. All in all, this was a nice read if not my favorite from this author.

My Little Secret is actually a huge life changing secret but you will never know if you don't read it. This sweet romance is between a naive young woman and a worldly troubled man. It's a case of opposites attracting. Set in Ireland, My Little Secret has the dreamy accents and lingo to back it up. ( Please excuse the puddle of drool, I can't help it.)

You will be happy to know, all your questions will be answer by the time you finish. Enjoy the journey, love the lingo, and find some friends worth having around. It'll be our secret!

What can I say about this book, Well Lee has done another great job of giving us a great story, I really loved Ashley and Ryan's story and the name switch so cleaver loved it. Overall I couldn't put this down and really loved it and it's a must read book.

Ryan Mahony is a good girl. She lives a privileged and sheltered life in the countryside of Ireland until her father, a former barrister, is sent to prison. Ashley Dunn is a bad boy. He is a member of the Disciples, one of Dublin's most notorious gangs and has a ruthless reputation. When Ryan goes to live with her aunt and cousin in their urban estate, her path unexpectedly crosses with Ash and sparks fly. The more time she spends with Ash, the more Ryan begins to believe that maybe Ash isn't really a bad boy at all. He's just a guy in a bad situation.

LA Casey's classic tale of a good girl falling for a bad boy was delightful. I loved how the narrative was funny yet really emotional. Many of the characters had loss in their lives and as a reader, I was able to really feel for them no matter their situations. My Little Secret's plot was not all romance either, which is always a pleasant bonus. The story has a few mysteries and is a little suspenseful too. One of my favorite parts without spoiling the story was the reveal of Mr. Nobody. I did not see the identity coming and I must praise LA Casey for such a curve ball.

I had only one issue with the novel and that was getting used to reading the Irish dialect. As an American, I struggled a little with it. However, once you get out your comfort zone, it will be smooth sailing. I promise.

I recommend this book.

Another fantastically written book by L.A Casey.
She has not written a bad book yet !
Every book i read by this amazing author grips me so much that i literally cannot put the book down.
She can write comedy between the characters like in "The Slater Series" but also Heartfelt Emotional scenes like in "Until Harry" and 'Her Lifeline"
You never know what you'll get in her books until you actually read them.

Ryan Mahony's life has been in a tailspin since her father was sentenced to serve time in prison. With her steadfast belief of his innocence, Ryan is still left with a void while he is away. She promises him that she will move to Dublin to live with her aunt and cousin, so she won't be left entirely alone. Leaving her insular childhood home to live in the big city where there are dangers around every corner is a far cry from her what she is used to, but she vows to make the best of her situation while she is there. 

Ashley Dunne is a member of Dublin's most ruthless gang, where selling drugs and breaking bones is all in a days work. But, his unfortunate extra-curricular activities in no way define the kind of man that he is. After the death of their mother, Ash is the only parent his younger brother has, and he takes his role as parent very seriously. 

Ryan and Ashley are opposites in every way, but when they meet, the sparks between them are something that neither of them can deny...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Little Secret is a story of a sheltered girl who meets the bad boy with a heart of gold. Warned away from him from the very start, Ryan can't help but interact with Ash when he refuses to leave her alone. When their good-natured flirting leads them to something more, Ryan and Ash's journey to HEA is anything but easily won.

Ryan may have been brought up with the finer things in life, but her isolated existence has left her lacking in the socializing department. Moving to Dublin comes with it's own set of hurdles, but when she meets one of the people she was expressly told to stay away from, Ryan finds it impossible to avoid the enigmatic Ashley. 

Ash's membership in the Disciples is not one the he celebrates. Making a mistake when he was a teenager has led to a life sentence of gang life. But, he makes due with what life has dealt him, and focuses on teaching his brother to be a good man, even when Ash himself has had to do some very bad things. He knows his infatuation with Ryan is something that could never go anywhere... she is a nice girl with a life that would only be ruined by associating with a man like him. But, his ability to stay away from her is quickly losing out to his need to spend every waking moment getting to know everything about her.

L.A. Casey's voice continues to be a delight of local dialect and life in Dublin, which combined with her entertaining writing and unique storylines, delivers with another great book. With some fantastic story elements and an entire cast of solid and interesting characters, this story was an enjoyable and fascinating read. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.

"Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review."

Loved this book very much. It had just enough sweet, sexy romance and the storyline was great! I highly recommend!

Wow this was so bad. What happened to author who has written Slater brothers??? This book..... I don't even know where to begin. The story had a potential but the delivery was really bad. Ryan and Ash did not have any chemistry and they felt like robots to me. There is a sex scene with Ash and another girl at the beginning of the book and I just hated it. I don't understand, and never will, why authors think that we readers like to read about one of the main characters having sex (in detail) with someone else before they meet their heroine.
I'm writing this review and I still can't believe how bad this book was. At the end everything was wrapped up so quickly and nicely that my head was spinning.
After saying all of the above I'll still read L. A. Casey because this is the first time I got disappointed.

This is my first time reading an L.A. Casey book and I’ll definitely be checking out more in the future. My Little Secret is the love story of a very bad boy, Ashley, and a good girl, Ryan (yes, you read that correctly - the quirky names were one of many things that helped keep this otherwise dark book lighthearted). I have to admit, I was not sold on the book at the beginning. All of the characters have heavy Irish accents which took a little getting used to, and Ash was most definitely a bad boy at the beginning of the book - I struggled with whether or not I’d be able to root for him to find love. But the writing style was great and the book progressed quickly. Ash soon won me over and I most definitely loved the core relationship (not to mention the secondary relationship in this book!)

If you’re looking for a fast-paced romance with a little mystery and some humor, look no further than My Little Secret.

Yet again, another epic read by this fabulous author! I don’t even have to read a blurb from this woman to know her books will be amazing, she is that awesome! I loved this book, from the storyline, to the characters—I couldn’t put it down! Highly recommend reading!

Got to be honest, I wasn’t feeling the first few chapters, and then, BAM, I fell head over heels in love with bad boy Ashley Dunne. Ash was not selling drugs and breaking legs because he wanted to, no, Ash was stuck in a life of crime because his younger self was trying to provide for his mum and brother. A victim of circumstance trapped in a life of crime, he was considerate and kind with a lethal edge. I loved his interactions with Ryan, who he was besotted with from the very first time he saw her. Two people from entirely different worlds, both knowing that a relationship was impossible. Wonderful writing (dual POV), a story that I truly didn’t want to end. It’s been a long time since I’ve wanted to go straight to the beginning of a book and read it again, I wanted to do it that with My Little Secret. I loved the characters, Ash, Ryan, and all the misfits in and amongst made for an emotional and passionate story, with a few twists. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher. This is my honest review.
