Week 2 Reviews: A Little Too Far, A Little Too Much, A Little Too Hot

From Goodreads:
Have you ever gone just a little too far? Lexie Banks has.

Yep. She just had mind-blowing sex with her stepbrother. In her defense, she was on the rebound, and it's more of a my-dad-happened-to-marry-a-woman-with-a-super-hot-son situation. But still, he's been her best friend and confidant for the better part of the last few years . . . and is so off limits. It's a good thing she's leaving in two days for a year abroad in Rome.

But even thousands of miles away, Lexie can't seem to escape trouble. Raised Catholic, she goes to confession in hopes of alleviating some of her guilt . . . and maybe not burning in hell. Instead, she stumbles out of the confessional and right into Alessandro Moretti, a young and very easy-on-the-eyes deacon . . . only eight months away from becoming a priest. Lexie and Alessandro grow closer, and when Alessandro's signals start changing despite his vow of celibacy, she doesn't know what to think. She's torn between falling in love with the man she shouldn't want and the man she can't have. And she isn't sure how she can live with herself either way.

From Goodreads:
In the follow-up to Lisa Desrochers' explosive New Adult novel A Little too Far, Alessandro Moretti must face the life he escaped and the girl he loved and left behind.

Twenty-two year old Hilary McIntyre would like nothing more than to forget her past. As a teenager abandoned to the system, she faced some pretty dark times. But now that's all behind her. Hilary has her life on track, and there's no way she'll head back down that road again.

Until Alessandro Moretti—the one person who can make her remember—shows up on her doorstep. He's even more devastatingly gorgeous than before, and he's much too close for comfort. Worse, he sees right through the walls she's built over these last eight years, right into her heart and the secrets she’s guarding.

As Hilary finds herself falling back into love with the man who, as a boy both saved and destroyed her, she must decide. Past or future? Truth or lies?

From Goodreads:
If you play with fire…

Tossed out of college and cut off by her parents, Samantha West is in pretty dire straits. So when her rocker best friend hooks her up with a job dancing at a gentlemen's club, who is she to turn it down? Plus, there are rules to dancing at Benny's: No touching, keep your clothes on at all times, and never get closer than three feet. Unfortunately for Sam, her first private client makes her want to break every single one of them.

Harrison Yates is scorching hot, but he's got a past that involves being left at the altar not too long ago. Sam is determined to make him forget about his ex, but when she makes her move, it flings her life into a spiral of chaos she never saw coming.

Because Harrison Yates isn't who he seems to be. And his secret will probably get her killed.

My Review:
Oh, this was a really fun series! I'm really getting into this NA series, but I love these romances, and college age antics that happen in this time! My own college years were very tame and consumed with books, so it's great to see how others were!

A Little Too Far, I loved the story of Lexie. I knew going in that she wasn't going to end up with Alessandro, because of the synopsis of book 2. Which meant that she would end up with Trent, which was great to read, I loved their romance. And I had such a great time with her story! The fact that what her assigned penance for her sins would lead her to figuring out what she wanted to do with her life, that was great!

A Little Too Much, it was great to see Alessandro find his happiness, and to get to know Hilary. They've both had it tough, growing up within the system, that's not a great experience. But oh, I loved reading their romance, I couldn't put it down!

A Little Too Hot, we got Samantha's story, who was Lexie's best friend. And it was really great to have her story, she was pretty chaotic, and I had a really great time with her story! This book was a little bit different from the others, they were romances, while this had a bit of a mystery-suspense vibe going on, which was different, and really enjoyed!

I loved reading these books, and I can't wait to read more by Lisa Desrochers!
