Secrets Embraced

Silver Valley University, Book 3

By: Alisha Williams

Narrated by: Alexa Borys, Oliver Highpoint

Just when I thought we've won, that we get our happily ever after, the universe has other plans.

Tragedy has hit our little family, but we won't let it break us.

We will lean on each other and push forward.

I have them back now, the 4 who owned my heart and soul from the start.

And along side my newest addition to my heart, I'm excited to take this new step in our lives.

But it's never easy when it comes to my life. There's people who want to see me fail, to take what's mine.

They can try, but they will fail.

Silver Valley University is a college-bully Reverse Harem. This book may have some darker themes. Please be advised that sexual assault is a big topic in this story. Graphic sex. Swearing. Age gap. Alcohol abuse.

Secrets Embraced

Secrets Embraced is the third and final book in the Silver Valley University series. These books should be read in order. This book is the continuation of Ellie, Theo, Brody, Jax, Chase, and Rayne's story.

All of these characters have so much to go through. Can they all be there for each other, and continue their relationships? Will they all get their happy ending together or will some of them decide it's not for them?

There were some emotional moments, and lots of things for the characters to get through.

I enjoyed this series, and would read more from this author.

Really good ending!

Secrets Embraced (Silver Valley University#3) is a reverse harem, bully romance. Please heed trigger warnings!

This final book picks up where book 2 ended. Just when they thought they could finally get their happily ever after, the drama reappears in old and new faces. The constant twists, and steamy moments made for an intriguing story between Ellie and her lovers. I loved the little ones interacting, and I’m curious to know what could happen with them!

Alexa Borys and Oliver Highpoint did a nice job completing this series. Great narration that brought these characters to life.

Deliciously addictive...

In true Silver Valley fashion, this installment brings the drama, the heat, the adversity and ALL the feels. This was another fun installment and with a literal Karen who I loved to hate to boot!

Plenty of tropes, etc. to enjoy (or not, as the case may be) and I’m sure I missed a ton because Williams manages to pack in lots.

🗝️ Small town.
🖤 College setting.
🗝️ Single mom.
🖤 No choosing / p0lyamory.
🗝️ Group scenes.
🖤 Sp!tting.
🗝️ OW drama.
🖤 D0m / subm!ssIve dynamics, sometimes.
🗝️ Billionaire in the harem.
🖤 Unplanned pregnancy.
🗝️ Cheer.
🖤 DDLG
🗝️ Holidays.
🖤 Family dinners with unwanted guests and LOTS of juicy drama.
🗝️ Lots of d!rty talk.
🖤 SA / date räp3.

I love the double epilogues and the glimpse into the future—hoping to read more in this world with the next generation.

Told in alternating, first-person POVs. A few instances of poor grammar noted—could’ve used a stronger editor or another pass by a proofreader.

There were a lot of steamy scenes—I do recommend reading this series in order because you get to know the characters and their respective histories better in the first couple installments.

And have I mentioned the drama is JUICY? So much fun. I see re-binges of this series in my future.

Overall:
Excellent. Addictive. And as I write this, I’m still hung over. 4.5 star.


🎧Audio:
The audio was absolutely perfect. 🦩

Conclusion

I can honestly say I don't know how she did it, but Alisha Williams brought these characters together for a beautiful HEA. This was the first series I've read/listened to written by her. It was complicated, steamy, had me smiling, frustrated, in tears, and laughing throughout the audiobook. I was glad to be traveling so I could listen without interruptions!

Alexa Borys and Oliver Highpoint are excellent narrators. They brought the characters to life and had the audiobook rolling like a movie in my head.
