ALPHA BOOK CLUB'S REVIEW

Title: What Happens In London

“The kiss was sweet and deep, and my body felt electric.  God, so this is what I’d been missing all those years?  I pressed my lips to his hungrily, but then he pulled back gently and smiled.”

Four stars!  This was a cute quick read, not my style of book to read, but it was cute overall.  I wasn’t bored by it.  It was definitely a cutesy book!

Four countries.
Three girls.
Three loves.
One adventure abroad they'll never forget.

Sarah landed in London, just hoping to leave her home behind and escape her family. But she didn't plan on falling headfirst into Carson's arms.

Get ready for a summer of self-discovery and romance in the first of the New Adult novella series,

Sarah is working in London as a nanny, or Au Pair if you will.  And although she loves the job, she’s suddenly fired.  While browsing in a bookstore one day she meets Carson and she’s totally flattered that he’s interested in her.  Although while you read you are slightly uncertain of Carson’s motives or feelings towards her.  The end of the book leaves you with a lot of questions, which means you have to get the next book in the series.  These are quick little reads, so that makes them fun to read.

Title:  What Happens In Paris

“There’s nothing better than kissing in Paris.  Hunter and I went all over the city, and I know we saw a lot of amazing things, but every time he kissed me, my mind went blank and I forgot what we’d seen.”

Three stars for this next book in the series.  The first book was a lot better.  Not to say this one was horrible, but the first was absolutely better than this one.

Four countries.
Three girls.
Three loves.
One adventure abroad they'll never forget.

Camie can't figure out what she wants, from college or life…until she meets Hunter. But will the magic of a romantic night in Paris last till the morning?

Camie is in college under a scholarship, when her grades drop she ends up losing her scholarship.  Which means she needs to take out loans to finish her degree.  The loan she gets gives her enough money to go and sightsee Paris.  This is where she meets Hunter, whom I’m not too sure how I feel about him. He gets her drunk and pretty much takes advantage of her, she wakes up and has no recollection as to what happened the night before.  She finds out that she lost her virginity to him, they had sex at least three times and Hunter assures her that she was totally into it.  This book like I said was okay, not my favorite at all, the first book was a lot better.

Title: What Happens In Berlin


“His kiss was warm and slightly wet, but the feeling of our lips touching wasn’t exhilarating.  I let him kiss me for a  second, but when he started to try to use his tongue, I pulled away.”

Four Stars!  The third book in this series is a lot better than the second by far.  It was a quick fun read.

Four countries.
Three girls.
Three loves.
One adventure abroad they'll never forget.

Interrupting a summer of fun, Joelle takes a detour to Berlin for her older brother's wedding. Spending time with her family is enough to make anyone go a little crazy. She's ready to lose it...until she meets Vi, a girl ready to turn her world upside down.

Follow her journey in the third installment of the New Adult series, Adventures Abroad!

Joelle is having fun for her summer break, that is until her brother writes home to say that he met a girl and they were engaged, but to make matters worse, they’re getting married in Berlin….GERMANY!!  So off her family goes, a vacation to Berlin, which wouldn’t be too bad, but she’s going with her whole family.  She’s going crazy, While out she meets Vi and let’s just say it gets crazy from that point.  This is another fun quick read, not totally my genre but it was cute overall!!

Title:  What Happens Abroad

“I reached up on my tiptoes and brushed my lips across his, gently.  His lips were warm and sweet and he kissed me back, slowly at first, then with more passion.  I pulled my mouth away the minute his hands folded around my waist, but he didn't’ let me go.”

Three stars, only because I feel like a lot of questions weren’t answered from the first three books.  But overall the book was cute and fun

Four countries.
Three girls.

One adventure abroad they'll never forget.

After a summer of fun, Camie, Joelle, and Sarah are ready to reunite in Italy for one last adventure, but heartbreak waits in the shadows of the cobblestone streets. Can Florence cast its spell and turn lost love into a final fling?

Well I was hoping to have a lot of questions answered from the first three books, which I didn’t completely get.  This book was just a continuation of Camie’s story, which is fine but what happened with Sarah and Joelle’s story??  I really liked the series overall, but kind of disappointed that some questions weren’t answered.

Step F*@k Book One by Scarlett Ward




**Book Tour**
Step F*@k Book One
By Scarlett Ward
Hosted by TRSOR


Meet Jai in this sexy stepbrother romance! 

NOW AVAILABLE for ONLY $0.99!



SWIPE LEFT.
That's all I did. A few too many glasses of wine with my best friend and the bitch convinced me to go on one of those dating websites.

A one-night stand.

A booty call.

And you know what? It.was.amazing.

I spent all night in a sexy stranger's arms, hot and sweaty, until it was time to sneak out and do the walk of shame back to my apartment.

I never thought I'd see sexy stranger again, and I was totally fine with that - until my mother's wedding.

She's getting remarried, see. And sexy stranger just happens to be my new stepbrother.

All the wine in the world isn't going to make this better.


He doesn’t let me finish. He lets go of my wrist and grabs my hips, lifting me up onto the bathroom counter. My breath catches in my throat as my shoulders collide with the mirror. He’s kissing my neck, his hands all over me, and I wrap my legs around his torso and run my hands through his hair.
          “I don’t want to be doing this,” I gasp, but we both know that’s not true. And he’s not technically my stepbrother yet.

He starts to unbuckle his pants. “You want me to fuck you?”
          “Yes.”
          He pushes his pants down. “Say it.”
          “I want you to fuck me.”



Scarlett Ward is a yoga-loving, coffee-drinking writer who finally took the plunge and wrote her first book. Her own stepbrother wasn't remotely good-looking, but the one she dreamed up for Step F*@k is absolutely DIVINE.

Scarlett hates long walks on the beach. That shit is hard. She prefers laying out by the pool with her laptop, writing her next story while working on her tan.

EXCERPT ONE
 I’m reaching for a napkin when I see that Jai is on the other side of the table, helping himself to a generous portion of the oysters.
                   “You know what they say about oysters,” he says. I pretend I didn’t hear him, but when I look over, he’s staring right at me.
                   “What?” I hiss. “You think you’re being clever? You think you’re going to impress me with that totally unoriginal line, like I’ve never heard that oysters are an aphrodisiac? That’s not why I took some—I happen to like how they taste very much and as a poor college student, I can’t afford to eat like this!”
                   He’s still staring. At my chest. Then the smirk returns. “Might want to pull up that dress, Janet Jackson.”
                   “What?” I look down. My left breast has completely popped out of the top of the dress, my nipple there on full display for anyone who happens to be looking. “Shit!” I try to stuff myself back in the dress, dropping the plate of salad and oysters in the process. “Fuck!”
                   “You know, they’ve got things you can paste on in these sorts of situations.” He reaches over and picks up the wayward oysters and puts them back on my plate.
                   “I’m not eating those,” I say. “I need to talk to you.”
                   I wriggle my shoulders and try to get myself as secure in the dress as I can before I hurry around to the other side of the buffet table. “I need to talk to you over here.” We go to the back of the restaurant, near the hallway to the bathroom, and I strategically place myself behind one of the columns that keeps us partially obscured from the rest of the restaurant.
                   “Imagine meeting you here,” Jai says, a slow grin spreading across his face. “I really had no idea. No idea at all. I knew I was going to be getting some stepsisters out of this blessed union, but I really had no clue—”
                   “Are you fucking kidding me? You expect me to believe that? You’re a fucking dog. A total fucking asshole.”
                   “I really do like the scarf. And the dress, too. You should’ve left the tit out. You’ve got great tits, you know.”
                   “I do NOT want to talk about my tits!”
                   “That’s certainly not the tune you were singing last night.”
                   “Do you realize how not funny this is? What a complete disaster this is? OUR PARENTS ARE GETTING MARRIED. That means we’re going to be brother and sister.”
                   “Step brother and sister. There’s a difference, darling.”

EXCERPT TWO

                   He brings his hand up and starts to touch my hip but I slap his arm away.
                   “Don’t touch me!”
                   He looks at me intensely. “You know you want me to.” His voice is low, a cross between a whisper and a growl. “You know you’d like nothing more than for me to take you right here, rip that tiny fucking dress off of you, and fuck you senseless. You know you want that. And so do I.”

ALPHA BOOK CLUB'S REVIEW


“The wind blows a gust of cold air across my face and I shiver.  He takes a few steps closer, closing the distance between us.  His face is serious, but there’s a gentleness in his eyes, a tenderness that makes my heart swell.”

Scorching hot, funny series!!  This book is broken into 4 short books and each one gets hotter and funnier with each page!  I really loved this series/book!

These books were so much better than I ever expected.  I figured it was just another step brother book and I thought I could figure out where it was going before the end.  I was surprisingly please with how the book turned out.  In the book we meet Emma, who after being cheated on by her ex, is shocked to find out her roommate Megan has place an ad on a dating site for Emma.  Curious to see who’s on the website, she gets a message from Jai.  Meanwhile, Jai is in town for his father’s wedding, which he’s not too excited about.  Bored he messages Emma and asks her to meet up for a drink.  One thing leads to another and they end up in bed.  Emma wakes up the next morning, ashamed and embarrassed, she leaves dramatically swearing she’d never see Jai again.  Once home, Emma collects herself and her belongings and heads over to her mother’s hotel where she’s prepping for her wedding.  This will be the first time Emma will be meeting her new stepfather and stepbrother.  After a quick introduction to her stepfather, her mother calls over Emma’s new stepbrother and to Emma’s horror Jai walks over.  After this meeting, everything changes between the two.  They continually battle against their feelings and Emma’s morals.  What will happen if their family finds out?  Is she falling in love?? Is he??  This is a four book series with book 4 being the final in the series!!  You must read, it’s such a great series!
