When Samantha returns home after being in Africa, she needs to find a job. She doesn't want to accept the position from Nick given their past. But this job is too great to pass up and she needs it to support her family. And that's the one thing she doesn't want Nick to find out about. So Sam has a choice to make, does she take the incredible job with Nick and let the cat out of the bag, or does she find something else and keep her secret forever?

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Sam is in quite the pickle when she returns from Africa and starts working for the man she had a one night stand with a little over a year ago. If she had her way, they would still be together. Nick is a businessman whose only focus is getting these vacation homes up and running for people to rent out. He has always admired Sam's work and is grateful to have her around. But will he still think that about her when he finds out her secret?

This book was alright. It was pretty predictable, with a couple of surprises along the way.

The Last Little Secret was my first Zuri Day novel, but it shall certainly not be my last. Steamy, dramatic and emotional, The Last Little Secret is a sizzling romance I read in one sitting.

Interior designer Samantha Price is well aware that she shouldn’t have agreed to a meeting with Nick Breedlove, but having taken a year-long hiatus and with no offers on the table, she finds herself with no other option but to go for a meeting with the man with whom she had a sizzling night of passion. Samantha has never been able to put her night with Nick behind her – especially because he is the father of the son she has never told him about!

Everyone around him seems to be getting married and having babies, but Nick Breedlove is not the slightest bit interested in settling down and having a family of his own. Nick’s entire life revolves around his business and he has got neither the time nor the inclination for a relationship – especially because no other woman has ever managed to come close to the one who dominates his fantasies and his dreams: Samantha Price. When Nick had heard that Samantha had left for Africa and married someone else, he never imagined that he would ever see her again – until she had agreed to come to a meeting with him and work for him. Nick intends keeping his relationship with Samantha strictly professional, but forced in close proximity together it soon transpires that business is the last thing on his mind!

As never forgotten feelings resurface, will Samantha and Nick give into their feelings again? Or will past secrets come between them and tear them apart…forever?

Zuri Day’s The Last Little Secret is an engaging and enjoyable contemporary romance brilliantly layered with heat, heart and emotion. A dramatic second chance romance with a gorgeous hero who will makes readers swoon and a clever, loyal and intelligent heroine they cannot help but cheer for, The Last Little Secret is a red-hot romantic treat that should not be missed.

This was my first Zuri Day book, but I found I really enjoyed her writing style and how the story itself flowed. Miscommunication and a secret baby aren't my favorite tropes to read, unless they are done well and for the most part I felt this one was done pretty well. I really enjoyed the chemistry between the main characters and there was enough of the side characters that it makes me want to check out the other books in the series to see who they are about. Though this is the 4th book in the series, I felt it could easily be read as a stand alone if you wanted, I didn't feel like there was anything I didn't understand or anything that confused me.

I just didn't want to put this one down. Good thing it was short so I could read it all in one sitting.

I very much liked this book and I can't wait to read another story by Zuri Day.

I do recommend.

The Last Little Secret is about just that: a secret. Well, a secret baby. Of course, that means it relies on miscommunication, and that can go either way for me. In this case, Zuri Day has penned an engaging and fun romance that was great for whiling away a rainy afternoon. Sam and Nick have good chemistry, and they're a couple you just want to see together. I didn't realize that this was part of a series until I started reading it, but I didn't have any problem following this one. I did notice a few secondary characters that I'm interested in reading more about, so I'll have to check out those earlier books.
