Shh…it's a secret! 

Special ops expert Trig Sinclair is a man's man, and that means he knows the cardinal rule of the bro code—no matter how dynamite Lena West is, as his best friend's younger sister, she's strictly off-limits! 

But when a secret mission to Istanbul sees Lena and Trig pretending to be married (and sharing a bed!), he finds himself in a whole new world of sweet torture…. But if Trig thinks playing the honor-bound hero is tough, it's got nothing on how Lena feels when she discovers what her "groom" is really hiding….

My Review:

I enjoyed reading What the Bride Didn't Know very much, it definitely had an interesting plot line and the characters were just hard to resist. Kelly Hunter does a good job describing the characters and setting of the book. I found myself intrigued and wanting to know more of them and their story. Trig Sinclair and Lena have known each other for years, being Lena's older brother's best friend, Trig has always kept his distance. But over the years his feelings for Lena have grown and when they are faced with trouble, he is the one that takes it upon himself to save and protect the woman he loves. 

Lena has always felt left out from her family, everyone seem to have master a talent expect her. Her over protective older brother is always there to protect and help her, and that's exactly what he does. With the help of Trig, they both help Lena succeed in school and the three of them get jobs as “secret agents.” But when Lena's brother disappears, she is determined to find him with the help of non other than her childhood friend and crush, Trig Sinclair. The two travel to Istanbul and to keep their cover a secret, they pretend to be married. Due to different circumstances, Lena loses her memories and that's when their adventure really begins. 

I had a really good time reading about the characters and how they faced challenges. Lena is a strong character in the story, she is determined and devoted to her job. Trig is a sweet and caring guy that takes the story to a whole new level. Both of them together brought out great chemistry which I loved. The writing flowed beautifully and overall it was enjoyable to read. I highly recommend this book for everyone to read. It's fast paced and romantic that will leave anyone wanting for more.
