He’s not just a bachelor up for auction …
He’s her sexy birthday gift for the weekend.
But will she be able to forgive him when she finds out he’s hiding more than a little secret?
Georgia Brooks had no intention of bidding on a bachelor at the charity auction, but her sister has other ideas and gifts her with a man for her birthday weekend. But not just any man . . . Drew Daniels. A hot, gorgeous lawyer who makes her want to shed her good-girl image and learn all sorts of new and risqué things.
Attorney Drew Daniels is more than willing to introduce the beautiful Georgia to her naughtier side. Their weekend together is steamy and romantic . . . and it doesn’t hurt that a rival of Drew’s has his eye on Georgia, too. Stirring the other man’s jealousy is a fun side benefit.
Their tryst should have been just about pleasure, but Drew finds he’s attracted to more than Georgia’s outer beauty and he wants to keep her as his own. When Drew suggests they continue their affair, Georgia is too smitten to say no. Even if her parents expect her to marry her lawyer father’s right-hand man.
Georgia finds herself falling for Drew harder and faster than she could have imagined. Until she discovers he's keeping a secret that has the potential to break her heart.

My Review:
At the beginning of the story we are introduced to Georgia Brooks, who is putting her degree in nonprofit management to use by working for Future Fast Track. A non-profit dedicated to helping foster kids transition out of the system once they are of age. Not only is she working for a great cause, but Georgia is truly following her passion to help others her way. To the disappointment of her parents who wanted her to follow on the family business path, she finally put her foot down when it came to her career.
Georgia has always been the one to follow the rules, be more cautious and conservative. That is until she meets Drew Daniels at an awards banquet her family is attending. He is bold, daring and she likes that. There is something about him that keeps her drawn to him. Then everything changes when they are at a bachelor auction for the non-profit and her sister ends up bidding for Drew, winning him for her in the process. A weekend with him shouldn’t have been a big deal, until she lets her walls down and sees a potential future with him.
As a successful lawyer, Drew Daniels is competitive by nature, a trait that has helped him a lot in his career. At McKenzie Goodwin, he handles a lot of high-profile mergers and acquisition clients. His job requires him to work long hours and the last thing he wants is to be in a relationship. Drew refuses to go through what he went through with his ex, so he is focusing on improving his career instead. Until he sees the beautiful woman talking to his rival. He is intrigued by her and after getting to know her more, there is a connection that neither of them can deny. No matter how much he wants to pursue her, Drew can’t stop thinking about his previous relationship and what his demanding career could do to their relationship if he gave them a chance.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Just A Little Secret! Phillips and Wilde did a great job with the overall story and the characters. There is an instant chemistry between them and we get to see them open up to each other as well. Georgia truly compliments Drew, she understands him and his career. Even though she wants to make her parents proud, Georgia hesitates to talk to them at first. Then we get to see her shine at the end. They have found each other and now they have to fight for their future. All in all, I would highly recommend checking out this book and the previous book in the series, it will not disappoint! :)
