Welcome to Baldwin’s Shore, the small town where everybody has a secret…

Brooke Bartlett is no exception. She’s been in love with her brother’s best friend for half her life, her dirty little secret. With Luca on the other side of the world, the temptation stayed out of reach, but now he’s back, and he’s not the only one. Brooke’s stalker is watching from the shadows, and he’s got his own ideas about her future…

Luca Mendez’s time in the army taught him two lessons—that to survive, he has to shoot straight and guard his heart. But when the woman he turned down all those years ago asks him for help, he finds he’ll do anything to see her smile again.

Elise Noble is an English rose with a few thorns who loves chocolate, sleep, and well-defined abs. Not hers, unfortunately. She lives near London with a horse who eats all her money and a dog who eats her car keys. Always an avid reader, she took up writing after inspiration struck in an old manor house and still pinches herself over the fact that people read her books.

Elise writes romantic suspense with gutsy women, protective heroes, and a healthy dose of humour.

I doubt I'll be able to do this awesome book justice, but here goes. Elise is an incredible writer and all of her books are well written with fabulous characters, settings, and plots. A joy to dive into and experience. They should all come with a warning label: "Don't start this book too close to bedtime." Each book she writes is even better than the last one. Well, she outdid herself with "Dirty Little Secrets" . It's VERY good. With just a few words, she paints complex characters that you'll love, or love to hate, and settings that spring forth in your mind's eye. The plot twists in this well-paced book will keep you guessing until the end. With at least one other upcoming book in this series, you'll have the opportunity to get to know this quirky cast of characters a little better. This book is so worth the read. Enjoy!

This new series is a perfect addition to Elise Bible's collection of work. She is such a master with character depth and addressing issues that need awareness. This first book in the new series introduces us to Brooke and the issue of stalking. Friendships and "love" lost collide and bring together a small town romantic thriller. As always, the reader is thrown with the twists and left with an intrigue to know more about the Bad Samaritan. Elise creates characters with friendships we FEEL and the situations draw us in and make us aware of the issue at hand. A true master. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit of romance & a bit of stalking! Yes, PLEASE!
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2021
I really do love a good stalking with my romance, don't you?

Brooke Bartlett has been living in fear for a year now and coming home to Baldwin's Shore might not have been something she saw for her future, but it is somewhere safe, or so she thinks.

After her friend’s birthday party, a year ago, Brooke wakes up and doesn't feel quite right. She knows something happened last night, but her head is all foggy and she can't quite put the pieces together. There is no use reporting a crime when she can't even remember what might or might not have happened. Now, being back home she thought she would be safe but notes and other "gifts" are arriving at her door, and she doesn't feel even remotely safe. On top of all that her brother's best friend is back in town after nearly 8 years and she once loved Luca. It might have been years since she has seen him those feelings are still very much alive and from the moment, she sees him again it is like no time has passed.

Luca needs to steer clear of Brooke Bartlett. He broke her heart and his when he rejected her all those years ago, but her brother would never understand if he started seeing his little sister. Now after being overseas, he has grown up from the hot-headed kid he once was but with a stalker going after Brooke, he knows he can't stay away from her. He has to protect her, after all he always loved her and just because he can't be with her doesn't mean he won't do everything he can to keep her safe.

As Brooke and Luca start to spend more time together both realize that keeping their feelings at bay is no longer an option. They can handle what comes their way with her brother but first they have to find the stalker that won't seem to leave Brooke alone. One wrong decision could lead Brooke further into danger than she is already in. Can Luca keep his word and protect the woman he loves?

Dirty Little Secrets was my first Elise Noble book and let me just say THAT ENDING! I did not see that coming at all which is a huge bonus. There were a couple times in the book that I thought this information isn't necessary, but it didn't hinder my opinion on the story. Luca was everything delicious and hunky that you could as for plus that protective instinct he has was intense! With the way the book ended I am looking forward to book two and finding out exactly what is going on with the mystery man that saved the day...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent twisty romantic thriller
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 3, 2022

!! Potential trigger warning!!
I am not happy that the book did not have any visible potential trigger warnings - I certainly don't recall seeing any, either in the blurb or at the start of the book.
It's something authors are ignoring more and more and in my opinion it's underhanded.
The story deals with date rape and its consequences, including flashbacks and the emotional impact on self worth.
Given that the overwhelming majority of date rape victims are women, and the overwhelming majority of readers are women it's incredibly insensitive of an author not to make it clear that the subject matter could be distressing.
The characterisation is excellent, permitting a connection between readers and characters.
The plotline is good, twisty and more than enough to keep you turning the pages.
There some sex scenes and plenty of swearing.
There is romance too, not just sex.
I will be purchasing more in this series and have no problem recommending the series to fans of the genre.

The first book from Elise where the romance takes centre stage...Brooke is trying to deal with the fallout from a party, as it all gets out of control Luca steps up...centred around Baldwin's Shore and the sheriff department. Add in the loyalty and shenanigans of Avery and Paolo to deliver trademark humour.The dynamics of the group ebb and flow when the Baldwin family and Nico add to the mix. You can learn about the stuffed crow, the stripper pole and all the glitter required...yes it really does tick the boxes for romantic suspense. Highly recommended.

I love all Elise Noble's books and this is no exception. The skill in which she brings the characters to life meant I couldn't book the book down, such was my need to know what happens next. I can't wait to see how it crosses over with Blackwood Security, although I have my theories. I've already pre ordered the next one and look forward to it's release .

Loved this book, the characters were engaging and the plot made you eager to read each chapter. But best of all the villain was a surprise. Normally I know well before the end who the baddie is but not with this book. Really enjoyable.
