Rachel Higginson - The Secrets We Whisper in the Moonlight review

I was excited to get Eliza's story. And holy slow burn, batman! This book was so delicious and I was here for it! I loved the friendship between Eliza and Jonah. The ease between them was nice and felt realistic. I enjoyed their banter and how they genuinely enjoyed spending time together. The only problem was Eliza's brothers. Jonah, Will and Charlie have been friends forever. And Eliza was the sister he should have ignored. But the chemistry between them was palpable through the pages. I was completely lost in their story and didn't want to put this book down. Jonah was a good guy and he just wanted to find love, like his friends were starting to have. And Eliza was too sexy for her own good. These two didn't have a chance to ignore what was between them! If you love a strong female, a male who is confident with himself and appreciates a strong woman then be sure to grab this book!

Eliza English has grown up in the shadow of her two brothers, Will and Charlie. Protective, pigheaded and overwhelmed with the day-to-day of their co-owned bar, they get in the way of every romantic relationship she’s ever attempted. She would do anything for them. And for the bar. But lately, she wants more than a life grinding through every day with only her brothers to share her burdens. Lately the crush she’s had on her big brother’s best friend is demanding more and more attention.

Jonah Mason has known the English siblings almost his whole life. Will is his best friend, practically family. Charlie is the kid brother he never had. And Eliza… well, she’s nothing like a sister at all. Actually, lately, he’s been thinking about her way more than he should. Lately, he can’t seem to think about anything else but her.

Eliza and Jonah have always drawn firm lines between friendship and anything else. Sure, there’s always been attraction, but both of them have always known anything beyond that is strictly off limits. For the sake of their work. For the sake of her brothers.

Until one moonlit night when they share secrets they never meant to whisper out loud.

Secrets We Whisper in the Moonlight is the second standalone in the Decisions in Durham Series.
