Overall score:

I scored this book 5/5

Short Summary of the book:

This book tells the story of Adam, a player. He has made mystique his field of play and uses it to lure in the ladies. Indeed, not just one but Adam has several ladies on the go at one time. Usually about 3 and this means he needs to lead a rather organised life. As soon as one becomes too demanding, he lines up a replacement and moves on.

What I liked about the book:

This book was humorous in places and it appears he falls for Bethany.

What I didn’t like about the book:

I enjoyed the entire book.

My favourite bits in the book:

Where Adam was slightly out of control and at risk of losing all he aimed for.

My least favourite bits in the book:

The book was fun to read and over too quickly.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

This book is the first in a series. The author has written several other book series.

What books could this be compared to and why?

In comparison to his other books, this series is different. There is not as much suspense present but it’s fun and fast-paced.

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

Children
No
Young Adult
Possibly
Adult
Yes

If you like romance, intrigue and a little suspense this book may be the book for you.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Book Description by Author:

Every woman knows an Adam. He's a "player," the type who professes true love, but with eyes that never stop wandering. He always has the perfect excuse when you find that long strand of blonde hair stuck to his collar, and fidgets whenever you get near his computer. Adam can't fool Bethany, who, despite her better judgment, falls head over heels him. Bethany is far more intelligent and strong-willed than Adam bargains for, and he finds himself smitten, too. Hilarious at times and poignant at others, Secrets of the Elusive Lover explores the age old challenge of obtaining the unattainable man, and the paradoxical issues surrounding monogamous relationships. As you turn the pages faster and faster to see if Adam and Bethany will ultimately get together, you will find this book another truly 'unputdownable' Mike Wells read.

Excerpts from various reader reviews:

5 STARS! Bethany is a sweet character and honestly I think she deserves better than Adam but I’m not sure. I liked the ending!!! Very original writing, I must say.

5 STARS! I have met a guy just like this Adam and it was nice to see the man get what was coming! Yum-yum. This book was good, really! I would highly recommend this one if you like messy relationship stories about guys and gals.

5 STARS! Read this in one long sitting. Awesome! I would love to read a sequel to this—please write one, Mike! I want more Adam and Bethany.
