Alessandra Torre – All In Duet Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

ALESSANDRA TORRE ALERT!!! Oh how I love this author, and her latest duet is complete! Book #2 just went LIVE today. 😀

Tasha: Yes, the new Alessandra Torre! I read Even Money last week and it ended on a pretty big cliffy…
JulieO: Very excited for A Torre’s second book to come out. Loved EVEN MONEY…

About book #1:

Sometimes it only takes a minute. A connection of eyes across a room, a quickened heartbeat, and everything changes.
I was a cocktail waitress with a fondness for partying and meaningless hook-ups.
He owned half of Vegas, with the reputation to match.
I should have turned away. Instead, I stepped closer.
Then, the lies started.
Rumors spread.
Stalking commenced.
And someone died.
It didn’t stop me from falling in love. read more

Book Review – The Ghostwriter by Alessandra Torre

By 16 Comments

The Ghostwriter
One of my favorite authors in the world (I have read – and LOVED – almost EVERYTHING she’s written) and she’s hit this one out of the ballpark again. She sent me a review copy and warned me that it wasn’t a romance (instead, it was a psych-thriller) and I suppose she may not have realized that psych-thrillers are my catnip!

I WAS ECSTATIC. And while this may not be a “romance”, it definitely follows a love story, or two, that just may tear your heart out anyway. 😉
But more than anything, it was the journey getting there… getting to the “what the heck happened?!?!?!!!” that had its own life. read more

Book Review – Love in Lingerie by Alessandra Torre

Love in Lingerie
This was pure sweet and spicy contemporary romance a la signature “Alessandra Torre” (because… you know. There’s always a *slight* twist). 😉 And I say “slight”, because this isn’t one of her thriller jaw-droppers, BUT it was sweet and romantically angsty, nonetheless.

It kept me reading, had me connected, and I read with a silly grin on my face the entire time. Easy, breezy and fun. Nothing too serious and detrimental, but eye-opening, and enlightening in its own… erotic way. read more

Book Review – Moonshot by Alessandra Torre

<— BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!! MOONSHOT is LIVE!!!!

Moonshot
Another super-intense love story by one of my favorite authors, with a twisty-twist in the end! It’s twists… and then it kind of twists again. That blurb? It makes a whole lot more sense now.

But the star of this show is definitely the love story. OH WOWWWWWW. An addicting steamy slow-burn, that had me hooked, reading late into the night, falling asleep with the lights on, and waking right back up just a few hours later to continue devouring this love-fest. read more

Book Review – Love, Chloe by Alessandra Torre

By 10 Comments

Love, Chloe: a standalone novel
Love, Chloe features Alessandra Torre’s signature, exhilarating writing style, incorporating realistic dialogue, relatable internal monologue and very human needs (and mistakes)! With characters that are easy to visualize, they come to life in every one of her books that I’ve devoured (yes… devoured!) and read as if watching a movie (or a favorite TV series) and this one was no exception!

That said, this classic contemporary romance release IS somewhat different for this author, as it doesn’t sucker-punch us with a crazy twist, or an intricate plot (or some crazy secret that’s been building with every chapter and mini-reveal). It’s straightforward, easy, and breezy, but still delights us with angst, bad decisions, necessary secrets, and something slightly out of reach (and yet still thrilling) to the majority of us. read more
