Ashley’s Review

“No one is normal. Everyone is just pretending to be normal.” –Deanna Madden

Deanna Madden has been locked in her apartment for 3 years, by choice. Confined to her small 900 square-foot apartment, she relies on her drug addicted neighbor, Simon Evans to lock her in each night from the outside world by continuing to supply him with prescription pills in exchange for this small but very important task.

Using the internet as her escape, a means of interacting with society and her means of an income, she lives by the alias Jessica Beth Reilly where she makes her living as an internet adult entertainment superstar fulfilling the fantasies of those with odd and eclectic tastes. When she is contacted by RalphMA35 who has a bizarre and quite concerning appetite for young girls, Deanna is left questioning what she should do.

When her regular UPS delivery man named Jeremy, who has been delivering packages outside her door for the past three years via verbal approval from Deanna from behind her apartment door brings a package but doesn’t get his typical response from the girl inside; Jeremy takes a chance, twisting the knob to 6E to check on the girl inside. What he discovers and what ensues within the apartment sets in motion a nail biting suspense that’ll have you hooked till the past page.

While her clientele think she’s a bubbly 19 year old college student, “Jessica” is far more sinister than anyone could imagine… she’s got hunger to kill.

“That’s the reason I stay away from people. Because I want to kill. Constantly. It’s almost all I think about.”

This is the first book I’ve read by A.R. Torre who also writes as Alessandra Torre. This book is unique as I’ve never read anything like it. The characters are so well developed, the plot is weaved so brilliantly, and the author obviously did extensive research into the adult online entertainment community to make this story as realistic as possible. I’d classify this story as romantic/suspense/psychological thriller. It’s not your typical HEA and its not cookie cutter, its raw and jaw dropping. It’d definitely got a shock factor that’ll captivate readers. This story is a solid 4 stars and I cannot wait until the next installment!

Sex Love Repeat CoverI love two men. I screw two men. I am in a relationship with them both, and they are both aware there is another. That is all they need to know, that is all I let them know. They don’t need to know a name; they don’t need to know anything but that they are not alone in my heart.

They have accepted the situation. Stewart, because his life is too busy for the sort of obligations that are required in a relationship. Paul, because he loves me too much to tell me no. And because my sexual appetite is such that one man has trouble keeping up.

So we exist, two parallel relationships, each running their own course, with no need for intersection or conflict. It works for us, for them, and for me. I don’t expect it to be a long-term situation. I know there is an expiration date on the easy perfection of our lives.

I should have paid more attention, should have looked around and noticed the woman who watched it all. She sat in the background and waited, tried to figure me out. Saw my two relationships, the love between us, and the moment that it all fell apart.

She hates me.
I don’t even know she exists.
She loves them. I love them.
And they love me.

EVERYTHING else hangs in the balance.

TIGHT Final CoverTight – Standalone

I was happy in my small town. In my life as a single, thirty-two year old woman. I had a good job, wonderful friends, my independence.

I also hadn’t been laid in three years. Hadn’t been on a date in two. Had stopped counting calories and wearing makeup… a while ago.

Then Brett Jacobs waltzed in. Caressed my thigh, dug rough fingers into my hair, lowered his soft mouth to my skin, took sexual control of my mind and stirred it all around with what he packed in his pants. He flipped my quiet life upside down and crawled into a place in my heart I thought was dead.

The issues?

His secret.

Her.

The fact that I don’t even know she exists, and he thinks she’s dead.

Everything is about to hit the fan and I can’t hold on to him tight enough.

Michel’ Review

Alessandra Torre stepped out of her comfort zone and wrote a book that has elements of a dark thriller.  Tight is word that holds many definitions.  In this novel Alessandra Torre portrayed several different meanings through the passages that take this story in a chilling direction.

Readers are once again reunited with Riley and Brett.  They were featured in the Bend collection.  In Tight we see a complete different type of story.  Rather than focusing on their sexual attraction, Tight focuses on their relationship and the progression of their lives as a couple from the beginning.

Riley and Brett met in the Bahama’s while Riley was attending a bachelorette party.  Their attraction leads to a long distance relationship.  Their romantic weekend getaways to exotic locations throughout the Caribbean and other resort type areas is like a fantasy come true.  Everything seems like a fairytale.  Brett is successful, rich, and appears to be the kind of man every woman dreams of.  He is attentive, generous, and romantic.  It seems too good to be true.  He is mysterious about his business transactions on their getaways which leads Riley to become suspicious of how he really makes his money.  Each trip, each conversation, and each romantic moment leads to more suspicion.  Their relationship seems to heading towards a serious committed kind of love.  Before Riley can completely surrender her heart to Brett, she has to know the truth.

Searching for the truth will lead Riley into a very dark and dangerous predicament.  What happens next will lead to the point of no return. It could possibly lead to death.

Will Brett find Riley in time? Will the truth be Brett’s redemption or his fall from Riley’s heart?

I really enjoyed this book and found the story enthralling.  I loved how the author built a relationship while adding moments of doubt that left the reader with questions.  I loved the strength Riley displayed throughout the book.  I also loved the psychological elements that gave the reader an inkling of what was happening without becoming too graphic. I liked that this book had multiple POV’s.

The only thing that I struggled a bit with was the transgression in POV’s and passages.  I felt the flow of the story was a bit off.  At times I had to turn back a few pages and reread them to catch up with the present POV and time.

Overall Tight was a very good book.

Michel’s Review

Wow! Black Lies was brilliant! Alessandra Torre delivered a captivating book with an intricate plot that had readers addicted within the first few chapters. She wove a web of mystery, deceit, and intrigue that had the readers guessing what was to come next. Her complex characters captured the reader’s attention and refused to be ignored. Black Lies is a stand alone romance that is very well written. It is a “must read now” kind of book.

This will be a spoiler free review that does not focus on the characters or plot in a detailed way. It is based on my reactions to this story and the brilliant writing.

The blurb for this book had me intrigued. I was under the expectations of a love triangle kind of romance where two men are vying for one woman’s heart. And it was in every sense but the twists and turns make it unique in a very different kind of way.

One woman wants both of these men. She has captured both of their hearts. She fights to keep both of their love. In the end she will have to choose one man. In the end she hopes her fight was worth it.

These complex characters will capture your attention. One moment you will intensely dislike them and the next moment you will be rooting for their happiness. You will understand their actions, choices, and outcome. Everything is not black and white and there is a very fine line in the gray.

On the surface it will appear that one of the characters is the true villain of the story. But like most things there are many layers. The layers will be peeled and more deceitful actions will make the reader question the motivations. Once the true villain of this story is exposed it is almost impossible to defeat it.

Alessandra Torre created a complex romance that was mind boggling. It was compelling and loaded with gritty passion. The entire story was a beautiful rendition of what real love is all about.

I highly recommend this book.
