GRR Reviews Cherished Secrets: Three Novellas of Hid by Cici Cordelia

Cherished Secrets is a three novella collection with stories that are of average or slightly above average quality.

Sweet Equation -- Emily the class nerd girl gave her v-card to Cole... on the eve of him leaving for football. That moment of indiscretion left her pregnant. Six years later, Cole, now pro football star, is back in town for a promo with the high school, and finding that he had derailed her life's plans was almost more than he could take... But he will make it up to her if he can... if she will let him...

Ah, the "secret baby" trope and the guy who came back to set things right (after he realized whose baby that would be). Very angst-y, but nothing too special. 3/5

Suburban Spies -- Slade and Jennifer had a history, despite being on opposite sides. Slade works for the Agency, while Jennifer, formerly Ekaterina, works for the KGB, until she had to defect. Now that both are after the same items, both will do whatever it takes, including using their bodies... to complete their assignments... but is there some room for their hearts?

Basically, Bond 007 erotic romance. Frankly, reads like a porn parody of 007, really. 3/5

Until Eternity -- Jo had a one-night stand with a guy she thought was the band leader... and got pregnant. She doesn't want to be labeled a groupie, so she kept the identity of the father to himself. Until they met again... and nothing was as it seemed. LT knew the moment he saw Jo's twins they were without a doubt, his. But when Jo refused to marry him, how can he convince her he can't live without her? That he'd never forgotten about her?

Good twists. Usually twin-switcharoo were meant to be funny, but this one was angst-y. 4/5
