Do Us Part by Alessandra Torre [SBM Review]

Do Us Part

Alessandra Torre

Goodreads

I have discovered the witch who started this disaster, and her name is Cecile. She is the lock around my husband’s heart; she is the barrier between me and everything I ever wanted.

I have decided to fight. For his heart, for my father, for the Jimmy Choos that rest on my perfectly manicured feet. The problem with a fight is that there is ultimately a loser. And in a situation like this, she has the advantage and a clear head start.

But I am here, and she is not. And I have not shared everything. I have some secrets and some advantages of my own. I will fight to the death, if not of my body, than of my heart. And if my heart is destroyed in this battle, I will find a way to survive. Poor planning may not be the final chapter in my story.

*Do Us Part is a novella, 16,000 words in length, and is the final installment of a 4-part series.

The last installment of the story and it's more than I ever expected. This series was so great and I am so glad to see Candy get what she deserved. It's an amazing story and you do not want to miss it!!

Till Death by Alessandra Torre [SBM Review]

Till Death

Alessandra Torre

Goodreads

He watches me. Watches as my husband makes me submit, makes me do things that, even in their depravity, bring me pleasure. He knows what I like, and how I like it. But while Nathan dominates my body, Drew is interested more in my soul. 

I can only bend so far before I break. Drew is my crack, my weak point around which everything else splinters. Even as more secrets are unveiled and all of the signs point to danger, I roll farther into this world. Into this high-brow life, into both of their beds. 

But to what end? At this point, I don’t know what’s in more danger: my heart or my life. For these men, these two men who I am pushed and pulled between? They seem to be much more interested in my death than they ever were my life.

*Till Death is a novella, 17,000 words in length, and is part 3 of a 4-part series.

Candy is getting closer to someone and it's not her husband. All in an effort in finding out what the secret that is being kept from her. The suspense is keeping me on the edge of my seat. The steamy scenes keep me up at night. This is a series not to be missed.

To Have by Alessandra Torre [SBM Review]

To Have

Alessandra Torre

Goodreads

I step on the dark stage, the cheap plastic of my platforms cutting into the top of my toes, every step bringing a pinch of pain. I keep my eyes down, following the flecks of silver on the unforgiving stage, waiting, exhaling a breath in controlled anticipation, my abs tightening. Then, the lights come on and I have almost three minutes to forget.

Welcome to my life, a drained bank account and six nights a week spinning around a greasy strip club pole. When salvation comes in the form of six feet of drop-dead-gorgeous, complete with a limo and a thick wad of cash, my stilettos run happily out the door to freedom. They say that money doesn’t buy happiness. But it does buy escape. Happiness is an overrated fairytale.


**To Have is the first book in a 4-part series, The Dumont Diaries. It is a novella, approximately 15,000 words, and does contain a cliffhanger. 

This was one steamy story. Not only were the sexy scenes crazy hot, but the story line is so interesting. I can't wait to continue this series and find out more about Mr. Dumont! If you love erotica don't miss out!!

To Hold by Alessandra Torre [SBM Review]

To Hold

 Alessandra Torre

Goodreads

When Nathan Dumont, heir to Dumont Shipping, steps onto the scene with a new wife, the media sits up and takes notice. But nothing can be found on the new Mrs.Dumont. No family history, private school chums, or expensively hidden skeletons in couture closets. It is as if she has materialized out of thin air, wearing Chanel. 

Life in a fairytale sucks. Even if it does come complete with eight inches of wontleavemealone steel. But when that glorious package is attached to a man that won’t give me a second glance, much less a piece of his heart, what good is a wedding ring and boatloads of cash? 

To make matters worse, I am slowly stumbling along and finding red flags. Flags that make me think there is more to this fairytale than meets the eye. In fact, I’m not so sure it’s a fairytale at all. It looks to be much, much worse.

*To Have is a novella, 15,000 words in length, and is part 2 of a 4-part series. All four parts will be released in August 2013.

This is a great series! Candy wants to know why. Why her and she begins to uncover the mystery that has brought her to her new life. I can't wait to read the next part and find out more about Mr. Dumont's secret.

This was a great installment. Suzy loves City so much, but still getting use to his Alpha ways. This story was surprising, loving, and as always hotter than ever! I enjoy reading Bliss's work. She gives you the story in two different point of views. I get to see what is going on inside the characters and it gives me a deeper understand as well as makes me totally invested in their lives. This is a great couple and I can't wait to find out what happens next!

Michael Gallo found his calling in life – he wants to kick ass. He works at Inked as a piercer, but spends his mornings training and dreaming of winning an UFC championship. Michael is the road to achieving his goal when a chance encounter alters his world forever. The title is no longer enough – he must capture the woman of his dreams.

Dr. Mia Greco is dedicated to saving lives and helping those less fortunate. She doesn’t have time to meet Mr. Right with her busy schedule. She buries herself in her work and helping humanity. Fate steps in and sweeps the carpet out from under her. She tries to deny the pull to him, a man that uses his fists for gain, but the universe won’t let her walk away so easy and Michael isn’t one to take no for an answer.

He has a secret that may rip them apart. There are forces bigger than them at work; drawing them in and making their worlds collide – not letting either one of them walk away.

Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual situations, graphic language, and material that some readers may find objectionable. 

What can I say I am so hooked on the Gallo Men. Which is my favorite? I can't choose and I'm still waiting to get to know 2 more! Mrs. G knows how to raise those boys. I just love this series. It's fun, heartwarming, and sexy as hell. I couldn't wait to read the next book and bought it as soon as I finished this one. Bliss tells her story from 2 different view points. I love that because I get a better understanding of what the characters are going through and inner struggle. If you haven't read this series yet what are you waiting for?? City and Michael are waiting for you!
