*REVIEW* - Gloria's Secret (Gloria Book 1) by Nelle L’Amour

Reviewer : Kaylene

Rating : 4 Stars

Gloria’s Secret starts out by introducing the CEO of a lingerie retailer aptly named Gloria’s Secret.  Gloria is a strong willed, driven and successful female who runs her own business and lives a happy contented but busy life.  She runs into Jamie, a hot, sexy billionaire who owns his own advertising business.  Jamie immediately has eyes for Gloria and makes her his.   He is dominant and full of surprises, the Ferris Wheel romp is awesome.   The relationship between Jamie and Gloria is hot, and I was fanning myself quite often, their chemistry together cannot be denied.

  

Gloria’s relationship with Madam Paulette was lovely, Madam played a very influential part in Gloria’s life and as such she would never have gotten where she was without her influence.   I really enjoyed Madam Paulette’s character in this book.

There were other side characters as well and I note that this is the first book in the series with Gloria’s Revenge to follow which will help with the way the characters were developed but some of the story line didn’t go anywhere and I am guessing that it continues in the second book.

Overall I really enjoyed the story and would recommend this to others.

I was given this book to review by Magic Within the Pages.  

Gloria Long is the beautiful, self-made CEO of Gloria’s Secret, the world’s largest retailer of lingerie. While her global emporium is famed for selling erotic fantasies, Gloria’s emotional scars inhibit her own sexual desires. Her powerful defenses melt when she meets Jaime Zander, the devastatingly gorgeous advertising guru, who is determined to win not only her account but also her heart by awakening her sexuality.

A man who has never heard the word “no,” Jaime takes his creativity to the limit to make Gloria fall apart and fall for him. But major obstacles stand in the way--Gloria’s Secret’s ruthless Chairman, who covets Gloria and is out to destroy Jaime, as well as his manipulative sexpot daughter, who wants both Gloria’s job and her hot, new love. Complicating matters further, Gloria harbors a dark, horrific secret, that when exposed, will shatter both her empire and her life. Will she be able to have it all or will the walls come tumbling down?

This approximately 225-page novel will be followed by the suspenseful and steamy sequel, Gloria’s Revenge.
