Description
Having suffered the most imaginable pain a child could – the murders of their parents – Alek and Peter spend their lives in each other’s pockets, too scared of losing the one person who means so much to them. Each other.
Their feelings change over the years, and it becomes harder to keep a lid on it. Their eyes hold the weight of secrets, but neither crosses the line…until Alek realises they’re living half a life when they could be whole. They have to decide if they should finally go their separate ways…or go forward. Together.
But can they let go of their lifelong concerns? After all, they’re older now. They should know better.
An MM brothers taboo romance with older characters.

Thank you for the ARC, I voluntarily give it an honest review. Older now, Alek an Peter both have come to realize somewhere along the way feeling have mixed into a deeper connection. Waiting to see which would break first was so seat gripping, but so worthy of the wait.
Now first off, Alek is blameless for the judgmental mind set of his ex wife. That lays straight on her shoulders the wrongs when leaving. Aww, we get to see the Ford and Tyler again.

I liked it. As soon as I figured out this was Ford and Tyler’s dad, Alek (whose story I’ve been waiting for for ages btw, eek), I had to go and re-read both of their books so everything was fresh in my mind. You don’t have to read theirs as this can be read as a stand-alone, however I definitely recommend reading their books first. It makes it so much more enjoyable.
There is on-page description of the thing that happened when Alek and Peter were young so be forewarned. If it’s a trigger for you, pass this by.
I highly recommend but some may be disappointed with the smexy times.
I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Going in, this book wasn’t exactly what I thought it would be… it was definitely taboo, but super sweet at the same time. If you’re going into this brothers romance looking to melt your kindle, you may be disappointed, because it’s a slow build to a sweet finish – don’t get me wrong, they connect, but it’s not the hot and heavy passion you often get from a taboo story…
It really is more about connection and comfort with your person than it is about a grand romance… it was sweet and a lovely read and if you go in with that mindset, you will love this book.

Secrets in His Eyes by Elouise R. East is about the brothers Alek and Peter (Alek is Ford and Tyler’s father). I liked their story. It was very sweet, cute and full of feels.

I loved this. They were so scared of their love for one another. There is some angst and wondering what the right thing to do is. Really enjoyed Peter and Alek’s story. I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

Ugh that was so sweet and sad at the same time. That epilogue just reminds us of their age and to live in the moment because you don’t know how much time you have left with your loved ones and those around you. It was so wholesome but made me want to cry too 😭.
Later-in-life brocest with Peter (57) and his older brother, Alek (60) — who is the father of Ford and Tyler from the “Too Many Secrets” books. It mentions events that happened in both books, but you do not need to read it before reading this, though it’d tie in really well and make a bit more sense.
Medium burn and very low heat, I wished this was longer so we can be with all the characters more. After hiding their feelings for each other for 40 years, they finally figure out their feelings are mutual and can be together. Knowing about Ford and Tyler, and then opening up to them at the end was so sweet. I loved that they all continue to vacation together, and that they moved closer. The family bond is so wholesome, I wish we could’ve seen more of it. Loved this so much 😭 and I’m so happy to have gotten Alek and Peter’s story!

Really sweet read.
Both Alek and Peter had been very close after their parents were killed, but over the years their feelings changed. They knew it was wrong , but when they confessed a beautiful relationship began.
Loved it , slow and sweet romance

ek and Peter are each others best friends. Brothers who have been through trauma, loss and grief, their bond is like no other. As they are approaching the later part of their lives, they both come together to express themselves and explore their relationship in ways they only dreamed of.
An engaging read with appearances by previous characters and a taboo HEA.
