Hayley Faiman brings us the second book in her new series the Dark Horse MC. Filthy Secret is an age-gap second-chance romance with lies and betrayal, secrets and half-truths, love and cheating, heartbreak and stubbornness, anger, and threats. Sometimes I find a book that I like because of how much I dislike the character and this is one of those for me.
Ryan was 18 young and naive with a need for family so she followed her sister into the lion's den so to speak. As soon as Ryan met Atomic she fell and vice versa but they were toxic together. All he did was cheat on her with the club girls (including her sister) while her heart broke more and more until 5 years later she was gone. She didn't leave empty handed but Atomic let it go until she came back needing help. Atomic had claimed Ryan as his ol' lady and that never changed even if he hates her and wants her to stay gone. When he refused to help her with the new problem her sister got her involved in she got hurt badly. Ryan doesn't have a choice now and all her secrets have to come out after he meets Adam.
I gave this a 4-star rating and a 4-spicy rating. Ryan and Atomic are both too stubborn and hard headed for their own good. The relationship between these two went deep. They might have been toxic for each other but there also wasn't anyone else. Throughout most of the book, I didn't like the way Atomic was especially when talking about the first time they were together when all he cared about was a different girl every night and drinking while she waited for him. Ryan got to the point in her life where she was desperate for someone to care and the first one that did never knew what he had until it was almost gone twice. There is redemption for Atomic in the end but through most of it he was just an asshole. I definitely recommend this one. Filthy Hot is out next in this series.
