4.5 out of 5 stars 803 ratings

Let Me Be Your Dirty Little Secret Mr. Big Hands Negotiator…

I always go for the guys I know I can play with…it’s easier than dealing with my past.

Collin Corwin, a sports agent who doesn’t compromise—and always gets the better end of the deal, is the type of guy I should stay away from.

But the fiery, undeniable attraction, has me doing something I never do.

I chase after him.

There’s one problem.

Collin has a rule about dating his client's exes. And one of his clients is still head over heels for me.

But I’m not taking no for an answer.

I can be the queen of tease.

And I’ll show him who can negotiate.

But secrets are hard to keep, especially when you have a dark past to contend with.

The Secret is the second novel of the All In Billionaire Series. This sizzling novel features a billionaire, love-at-first sight, secret romance and a guaranteed HEA. It can be read as a stand-alone or after book one of the All In Series, The Rule.

    Maggie Cole does it again with book number 2 in the “All In” series. Collin & Meg are such diverse characters but find love & lust with each other. Coming from two different backgrounds can they really be a good fit or will it divide them? Their love story is superb. Once again there is mystery, suspense, intense situations, deep love and lots of steamy sex! The story takes a few unexpected twists & turns that really keeps the reader on edge, but an HEA is always the goal. Loved how the author brings some of the other characters into the depth of the story which becomes as much their tale as the main characters. Really enjoyed having Tom & Liv from Book 1 “The Rule” be such an integral part of the story. It’s still a stand alone book but you’ll enjoy it more if you read book 1 first. Well done Maggie! I’m still “ALL IN” with you as a favorite author. Highly recommended! Looking forward to book number 3!!!

    Oh my goodness... The Secret started out fun and sexy never in a million years would I guess that I’d be balling like a baby reading the last few chapters.

    Meg is the COO of one of the best PR firms in the city. Her fun, sassy, and independent personality make her quite the catch. When she meets the negotiator she knows the game just changed.

    Collin is one of the best sports agents around. He has one rule about getting involved with his clients ex’s, Don’t Do It! But when the beautiful Meg comes along he decides maybe a Secret isn’t so bad.

    This story was so ridiculously good!! Now I’m anxiously awaiting book number 3 in the All In series: The Crime.

    I couldn't stop reading this book. Meg is a true bada@#! Collin is an amazing manager and negotiator. These two together set off sparks and even though they try to stick with the rules, they don't fool anyone. I loved all the characters in this story and Meg's past will make you tear up. I loved the whole storyline.

    Meg doesn’t have serious relationships, and only dates men for fun. Collin is recently divorced. When Collin see Meg, he knows instantly that he wants her. But he has a rule, he doesn’t date his clients ex’s. And Meg has just broken things off with his client. Who still seems to be into her. Meg is attracted to Collin from the start, but he doesn’t want to risk it. So, on a night between kisses, they make a deal to keep their relationship a secret. Then things from the past come up, and Meg wants to not be kept a secret.
    I really enjoyed this book. It starts of great from the beginning, and holds your interest. I just love the characters. They were all strong and written wonderfully. You wanted them to get their happily ever after. This book has it all. I definitely recommend this book. If you want a super quick read with the right amount of heat this is the book for you.

    But neverending. I kept thinking things were wrapping up and then nope, still %% left.
    The characters were ok, well written a nd defined.
    Car too image conscious and weapy for my tastes though. I think. I'm reading a few similar stories that are equally engaging so it's hard to keep track of which rich person went to which elite place surrounded by paps.
    Maybe I need to switch it up abit , hit some fantasy or cowboys, so I can appreciate the city folk again.

    Collin and Meg -my oh my, the sparks do fly. Can't help falling in love with these two. Can't help lusting over Collin. But so much more than mindblowing sex. A deep love and respect develops. Watching several characters reveal heart wrenching secrets and come to terms with them was a huge fist bump. I didn't want the story to end.

    4.0 out of 5 stars LOVE COLIN
    Reviewed in Canada on November 3, 2020
    This book was a solid 3 1/2 Star for me.
    Colin and Meg had so much chemistry but under the current circumstances they had to keep their relationship a secret. Meg had a past that would come back to hurt them.

    Only thing I cant take is grown men crying like teenage girls and eating ice cream. Maybe I'm old school but I prefer men to be manly and fight for what they want not cry. Other than those few parts book was solid
