At night, when Anna closes her eyes, everything comes rushing back; the sensuous sound of Cole's voice, his scalding touch, and the way his eyes roved over her body like he could never get enough. Flirtation, promises of passionate sex, and nights filled with Cole's sexy smile are gone. Anna worries that her crush on Cole was something more, because her life is total agony without him. Anna realizes she's at a turning point. Someone burned her. This isn't a little blister that will go away on its own, it's an inferno that's destroyed everything it touched. In a matter of minutes, Anna lost her future and the man who holds her heart.

Secrets Vol. 4 by H.M. Ward

This story has pulled me into Anna and Cole's lives right from the start. Anna's character has grown right before my eyes, maturing, becoming more confident in herself with every book. I feel her reactions to the destruction that Sottero and her minions are plotting for Cole. Their cruelty in the last volume broke something in Anna, and she's digging in her heels, finally ready to fight for what she believes in, who she believes in. And that person is Cole. When she tries to tell him how she feels, he lashes back, thinking that she's lying. She's so angry that she gets on her bike and heads home in the rain. Before she gets very far, she loses control and flips it, terrified as it drags her under. But Cole is instantly right there, lifting it off of her, checking the damage to her leg. But even as he carefully tends to her leg wound, his attitude doesn't change. He's still convinced she's working with the enemy. Once she makes it to her parent's and gets cleaned up, she and her father have a talk that just blew me away. His words just brought the whole mess into focus, and it gave her the courage not to give up, to stand and fight for what she believes in. The rest of this episode leads us down a pathway to a place where she can deal calmly with Cole's fears and preconceptions, where she can say the words he needs to hear. But I have to warn you, it ends in the mother of all cliffhangers, and if volume 5 wasn't waiting on my carousel, I would be having a hissy fit instead of calmly writing my review. Just one more book, and it's done!

4.5 stars! Secrets, book 1-5 (complete series). Intern-boss story with complex, secretive and elusive alpha male hero.

All 5 installments/books have been released and my recommendation is to read them as a set. Combined they make a 600 page read. I read 3 of the books last year. Once the remaining 2 were released I did a quick "refresher" of book 1-3 and continued with book 4 and 5.

Anna Lamore (22 years/photography student-intern/dark brown hair) meets Cole Stevens (38 years/photographer-boss/$$$/dark brown hair/blue eyes) when applying for an internship. He is her last choices initially - so much she interviewed in rain boots, ugly clothes, with a determined, rebellious and cocky attitude. Cole surprises her by obliterating her preconceived notions of him. Instead he persuades her accept an internship at his studio and so a very complicated and tumultuous relationship begins.

Cole played the part of the troubled, secretive, elusive, neglected, rich playboy alpha male very well. Though the lust and attraction is there he withholds so much of himself from Anna.
