Ugly Secrets: Bad guy and Single Mom Romance (Little Hope series) Paperback – April 22, 2024

I am so sad that this was the last book in the series. Olivia was the struggling single mom that just happened to get a glimpse of the old Jake. I am happy that we were finally able to get all questions regarding Jake. I was a Jake Hater at the beginning, but getting to read his story everything makes a lot more sense now. The plot twist near end almost made me throw my kindle. This was a really great book ending in HEA and I am so excited for more from Airana Cane

I was so excited to read Jake's story and it did not disappoint! Some things I predicted, some I didn't. This was a great way to end the series! I'm excited to read the extended epilog next!

I absolutely LOVED this book. Could not put it down, I was captivated page one. I was nervous about Jake’s book and whether or not he was redeemable. Let me tell you, Ariana Cane made me fall in love with Jake. His story had my heart breaking and mended it at the same time. Olivia was the absolute best person for him. Their story had my emotions all over the place and I loved every minute of it. It was raw and real and beautiful. I’m sad this was the last of the Little Hope Series, and what a bang to go out with. Hands down recommend this book and all of the Little Hope Series!

I truly LOVED this series and ALL the main characters and how they overlap! Even Jake! You need to read this!

That's all I could think about, seeing Jake "lurking" reminded me of "We don't talk about Bruno" song from that Disney movie. My goodness. The Villan gets the girl. This book was so amazing and Ariana Cane delivered with this long awaited story. Absolutely wonderful! The book was a wonderful closing to the Little Hope series adventures. Frank's appearance is always welcome and Benson definitely needs to give him a badge or something. Happy Reading ya'll.

The series comes full circle.Jake is redeemed and though he can be a jerk, you’ll love him. Olivia gets her happy ending.Answers will be given and Frank the Moose makes an appearance.

Ugly Secrets was a beautiful conclusion to this series and it warmed my heart so much seeing Jake get his happy ending along with glimpses of the previous couples in the book.Oh and the PLOT TWISTS IN THIS BOOK! I had a hunch but wow did it blow my mind. We can’t forget Frank too! He was such a main character in the whole series and I will miss him so much!I finished Guilty Minds /hating/ or more like loathing Jake. He was so mean. I understand he had his own reasons for hating Kayla but treating her and everyone else the way he did was wrong. Redemption he may not have gotten from all but reading Ugly Secrets, wow. Jake looked after those he loved from afar and I don’t hate Jake as much as I did. Without going into spoilers too much, I am very proud of Jake for doing something for a greater good.And Olivia. My sweet sweet girl. I am a sucker for women who girl boss and end up with their high school crush. Olivia saw through the facade Jake put up and I love her so much for not running away when Jake had his issues. And I have to mention the plot twist again because damn. I completely understand Jake and would be upset too.This series has real problems that people face every day. I appreciate Ariana for including them in her books because although most romance books are a work of fiction, it gives us the hope that everything will be okay.

I loved this book. I love books with a villain, bad boy type where he gets a redemption for past deeds. I feel like having all of the books before building up to this made it worth while. To me it was. I'm sad it's over but if you haven't done so, do read this book. 10/10.

Sad it's over but this series was amazing.This book was amazing. And spicy lolBeen waiting for this book since book 1.Lots of good tropes.... Single mom, villian, redemption, twists, slow burn, forced proximity ... Just *swoon* ...

Last book. Well worth waiting for. Love Jakes story. I always liked him. Even when he was bad.All these characters were great. Well done to Ariana and all involved with making these amazing books.I'll miss little hope. Oh, and Ashley... yes, yes, yes xx

I really enjoy that this author does not explore the genetic small town romance check list. Like she writes more real responses not the angst filled drawn out for page filling effect fluff.like I feel it's more personable how the characters react and act with each other. But also gets you thought provoked.Although MCs relationship build was a bit lacklustre and felt a bit left too its own devices their character development was so cute

Really loved this final book. What a great ending, it answered all the questions and gave some great justice! Loved it!
