"I love alpha males.... Yes I know Alpha males are the in thing but they need to be done right and in this book Drake is perfect." -Aurora Rose Reynolds, New York Times bestselling author of the Until Series

"Absolutely loved! I'm a sucker for the over the top, crazy in love alphas. You give me one of those and I'm sold." -Harper Sloan, USA Today bestselling author of the Corps Security Series

Push the Envelope
Alexa is just your average college junior, attending classes and piloting Mile High Club charter flights. Boys haven't been on her radar for a couple years after a disastrous breakup with her high school sweetheart. Her plans to focus on school hit a bit of a snag when she meets bad-boy Drake Bennett and he sets his sights on making her his own.

Drake transferred to Blythe College for the rugby team, not for a new assortment of college girls. He's sexy and cocky, and he attracts women like moths to a flame. When he meets Alexa, Drake knows he's met his match. She tries to resist him, but Drake isn't used to taking no for an answer.

Hit the Wall
Jackson thought he knew what love was and feels like he missed his chance at happiness. He realizes he wasted his chance by chasing after one-night stands instead of going after what he really wanted.

Kaylie knows what loss feels like and doesn't want to take a chance on love. She puts up walls to keep her heart protected from experiencing that kind of pain again.

What happens when a guy who refuses to lose out again meets a girl who resists him as much as she can? Will Jackson be able to hit the wall Kaylie has put up and knock it down?

Summer Nights: Push it Forward & Hold your Horses
Novella Duo Contains Push It Forward and Hold Your Horses with bonus epilogue.

Push It Forward

When danger comes knocking on Alexa’s door with the return of her ex-boyfriend to town, Drake drops everything to be by her side.

Can Drake convince Alexa that it’s time to push their relationship forward? Or will she allow her fears to hold her back?

Hold Your Horses

When graduation comes and she needs to decide if it’s time to go back home and settle down, she worries that she’s not ready yet.

He can hardly wait for her to come home so they can finally start their life together.

What happens when the girl who is nervous about settling down to small-town life comes home to the guy who is ready to pop the question?

I absolutely adore reading - always have and always will. My friends growing up used to tease me when I would trail after them, trying to read and walk at the same time. If I have downtime, odds are you will find me reading or writing.

I am the mother of two wonderful sons who have inspired me to chase my dream of being an author. I want them to learn from me that you can live your dream as long as you are willing to work for it.

When I told my mom that my new year's resolution was to self-publish a book in 2013, she pretty much told me "About time!"

Yummy

I had already read Alexa and Drake's story and adored it! Reading Jackson and K's story and seeing him fall and her open up had me in glove. Going straight into novella and catching up with A&D, J&K, and seeing Char and Shane! Then sexy a$$ Luka and Aubrey was a perfect finish. This had hot alpha, growling and bossy, beautiful stories and LOVE!

Added Hit the Wall to my list of books read this year, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I actually appreciated that there wasn't a crazy, big conflict. Not every story has to be full of angst and emotion. Some can be sweet, and straight to the point with a great storyline and this book has that in spades!

Jackson is a playboy, but girls know the score beforehand. He also happens to be in love with his best friend Alexa. When Alexa ends up with Drake, Jackson knows he has to move on. So, he heads home to clear his head. What he doesn't expect is Kaylie.

Kaylie doesn't have a support system. All she has is her best friend and roommate Charlotte. Kaylie does have dance which is her biggest passion, and she really wants to dance professionally. She doesn't have time for relationships. Enter Jackson.

Could Jackson have been wrong about his feelings for Alexa all along, and is Kaylie willing to dance professionally at a lesser location to be with Jackson?

If you haven’t me the crowd at Blythe College, you are seriously missing out. I stumbled across Drake and Lexi one day and completely fell in love. Once I finished their story, I had to keep going! Every book was as good as the first. So, I was in heaven when they became available as a series box set! Rochelle Paige is a master as the swoon-worthy, alpha males. Simply delicious!
Lexi is such a fun character. Her personality is so engaging, you can’t help but want to be her friend. She is sweet, loving, and so determined to succeed. She has some sass in her that kept me chuckling throughout the story. I wasn’t sure how I wanted her to handle Drake’s attitude, his cocky assurance that she would be his. But, as it played out, I loved the way the story unfolded. She didn’t roll over and agree right away, but she also didn’t fight her feelings for him. It’s not a romance novel without some conflict between the hero and heroine, but I appreciated that it was kept to a minimum and instead, we got to watch their relationship grow.
Drake… oh Drake. I would be more than happy to join the mile high club with that man. He is self-assured and cocky, possessive and determined, but all that is mixed with sweet love, devotion, and passion. That recipe is called “sex on a stick.” Yup, do what you will with that imagery. Drake is convinced that he and Lexi are meant to be together, but he way he gives her time to figure it out, was so incredible. He is so patient, despite his burning attraction and need to make her officially his. I was melted right into a puddle…

Kaylie was a little more intense than Lexi, but I connected with her faster than I expected. She has closed herself off to love for good reason. The largest factor being that any relationship in college, would distract her from her goal of becoming a professional dancer in New York. And yet, Jackson somehow breaks through those walls. Her determination to reach those goals put a wrench in their budding romance, but I completely respected her for not losing sight of the end game.
Jackson definitely stole my heart by the end of the book. However, it took me a little longer to warm up to him. His misplaced “love” and subsequent heartbreak over Lexi, started the process of changing his man-whore ways. Then Kaylie starts to make him recognize that what he thought was love may have simply been an idea, rather than the actual feelings. He’s a little thick headed about it, and I kind of wanted to smack him upside the head from time to time, but damn, that boy knows how to turn on the sexy and forgive him anything.
There was more angst in this book, my heart broke for them a little as they fell in love, with the ever looming possibility of being separated at graduation. If I hadn’t already fallen for Jackson, the story’s end would pushed me right over that edge.
Summer Nights was such a great addition to this series. I can never get enough of Drake and Lexi. It was a surprise to see Rochelle throw a little thrill and suspense into the story. It definitely gave this novella an element that kept you from feeling as though it was just an extended epilogue. She did a fabulous job. The end… oh the end made me so freaking happy….
Then there is Charlotte and Shane. Charlotte added such a fun dynamic to the other two stories and I was psyched that we got a whole novella to focus on her story. She is a hoot, I enjoyed her so much in the other books. Then to see her in another environment, one that doesn’t involve the gang from Blythe, it built her into a solid character in her own right, rather than continuing on as the funny, supportive friend. Her attitude toward the women in town… OMG, I want to be that girl. She isn’t made of stone, where things don’t hurt, but she just lets it slide off her back and moves on with confidence in herself and in her relationship with Shane. Her fears are understandable as well.
Shane blasted out of the sexy meter from the very beginning. His adoration of Charlotte is mixed perfectly with his alpha personality, making for a panty-melting hero. Not to mention that he is the ultimate supportive boyfriend. He waits for Charlotte so patiently (well, he makes it seem that way, so Charlotte doesn’t cave to guilt and come home until graduation. That just makes him even more…well, just more) and he is consumed with peace and happiness when she returns to him.
Their story is sweet and tender, with a hot passion that burns right off the page. This was an awesome addition to the series.
Aubrey, who doesn’t love Aubrey? She is freaking hysterical. Of course, she began to be a little more grounded in Hit the Wall, and we get to really see that new side of her in Outside the Box. Aubrey is turning things around as far as her “relationships,” or lack thereof. I could understand her reluctance to be with another guy after her pregnancy scare. However, in some ways, I think she didn’t truly understand what love is, or feels like. It can be overwhelming.
Just like all of Rochelle’s other books, Luka is what dreams are made of. It’s hard to get a whole lot sexier that a hockey hottie whispering sweet nothings in your ear…in Russian. Luka’s insecurities broke my heart. While they had some justification to them, I was so afraid they would ruin the budding trust and love between him and Aubrey. He is so sweet, but we still get that possessive, alpha male side that burns up my sheets on the other side of the pages.
I was proud of these two by the end, for finding the path to happiness. It was so sad to say goodbye.

Push the Envelope

I love this book it's amazing and Rochelle raise is awesome. If you haven't read any of her books you totally NEED to. This book is a roller coaster I believe everyone can relate to in some sense. You feel happy for the heroine and then sad at times also. She has a crazy awesome best friend that will do anything for her named Aubrey. And Aubrey's brother Jackson is crazy protective of Alexa as well. Alexa didn't have the best start with relationship of an intimate nature, so she didn't think she would ever connect with a guy again. That is until she met Drake and couldn't get him off her mind. Drake is definitely an alpha man in his own right, but he's also sweet, romantic, and pays attention to what she likes and doesn't like. He's also very attentive to her. And hey let's face it what woman doesn't want a guy like that. I will tell you this though he messes up big time, a few times I might add, but I'm not going to spoil it for you your just gonna have to read the books. I highly recommend this book as this is the first book in the series. You will probably want to read them all just because Rochelle Paige is awesome. :) I give this book 5 stars for sure. HAPPY READING!!!!

Hit the wall

I freaking love the series!!!! if you haven't read it yet you must!!!! I highly recommend it. Kaylie is a woman who is strong, loyal, loving, funny, and all-around just Adorable sweetheart. Finds that she has trust issues but she has some of the greatest friends, who help her through anything that happens. Char is like her lifeline at college. She always goes to her for advice when she needs it. But then she's woken up by an argument involving Aubrey's brother Jackson, the both of which you meet in the first book and Sasha hey you also me. She never thought she would be able to trust another person, because she is always worried that she would be abandoned again. Now I'm not going to spoil it by telling you what I mean, you're just going to have to read the book. Jackson is just a playboy but he is also charming, sweet, romantic, and all around total Alpha. And what type of woman when it swoon over a guy like him. He's also reformed playboy if I forgot to mention that. Once he meets Kaylie there is no hold him back from what he wants. And he definitely wants her. He's persistent but doesn't push her too far or hard. They definitely belong together. And you seriously need to read this book to know what happens with them because I'm not going to spoil it but this is definitely a 5 star read!!! Now go one click this book!!!! HAPPY READING!!!!

Push it Forward

What can I say about this novella hmmmm?.. It's simply amazing how Rochelle Paige was able to wrap up Drake and Alexa's story. This to are so disgustingly adorable and were totally made for one another. You see it with how they act towards one another no matter what they are doing. You met them first in Push the Envelope the first book of the Blythe College Series. This book just brings back someone from Alexa's past and if you read the first book you will know who that someone is. Of course Drake being the protective alpha male he is won't let anything happen to Alexa on his watch. I mean seriously this guy is totally swoon worthy. I seriously recommend this entire series!!!! HAPPY READING!!!!

Hold your Horses

This novella is about Charlotte and Shane. You meet Charlotte in the second book of the series Hit the Wall as Kaylie's best friend and you also hear about Shane in the same book. These two are perfect for each other and spoiler if you haven't read the second book, what woman wouldn't want a guy who will stay with her in a long distance relationship and not mess it up. Shane is sweet, patient, romantic, and definitely swoon worthy. Charlotte is fierce, protective, and loving. This novella tells you their story after graduation happens and it couldn't have been more perfect for them. I love this series and you will too. I highly recommend it! HAPPY READING!!!

Outside the Box

This book was awesome and such a roller coaster ride for me. Luka is possessive, protective, overbearing, and totally alpha. He has a past that's not pretty because of a past relationship and it makes you just want to hug him and tell him everyone is not like that. Aubrey was a serial dater in the first book but she has been on a self imposed dry spell for the rest of the series. She is funny, loyal, and the best friend a girl could ask for, but now the tables have turned and it's Alexa's turn to help Aubrey with relationship advice. Luka and Aubrey literally slammed into each other but didn't know who each other were until Aubrey needed a tutor and that just so happened to be the hot hockey god. I'm not going to say more because I don't want to give anything away but you seriously need to read this book. I highly recommend it and the whole series. HAPPY READING!!!!!

Wow

I really enjoyed this series very much. The characters were very enjoyable, however the men were always too possessive. No man should totally control a woman even though they did it with love. Whoever does the proofreading for this author should be replaced. There were many wrong words, Words left out, wrong tents etc. I hope will there will be more to the series because I really truly did enjoy these characters

There is no way for me to ever pick a favorite out of these books! The best thing I ever did was pick up the box set because I didn't want to stop reading them once I started!!
Drake, oh Drake how you make my insides tingly just thinking about him!! He and Lexi were ultimately number one in my book since they started the series. To watch Lexi come out of the shell she was living in after her ex treated her so badly was awesome to watch. Knowing how Drake per sued her relentlessly and how she and him made the perfect couple totally sucked me into this series. One hot rugby player... Check.. One awesome pilot who gives new meaning to the mile high club and explosive chemistry between them! Off the charts hot sex... Make this a must read in my book.

Next up we have Jackson and Kaylie, there story was one of true love and how when it finally hits you nothing will stop you. Dance has been everything to Kaylie since her parents died and going back to where their love story started felt like something she needed to do. If she wanted to follow her dream that meant no time for distractions, especially when they come in the form of Jackson Silver. Jackson thought Lexie was the one for him he thought if he fooled around and got it out of his system while he waited for her to be ready it was the right thing. When she chose one of his frat brothers he thought he was crushed. Little did he know that feeling he had for lexi was nothing compared to what knocked his socks off when he met Kaylie. Their story was cute and made me long for a relationship like theirs. A love so strong that you would do anything for the other person even if it meant putting your dream on a different path, just to be with that person.

And lastly we have Aubrey and Luka, the Russian hockey player who had his heart ripped out. Que the Sighs ladies because the beginning of their story makes you fall head over heels for the Hockey God. Aubrey has been on a self induced dry spell after going no where fast with her last few relationships, if you can call them that. They are more dates that end after the third or fourth one. That didn't stop the guys from saying she put out or that she got around. When you read Luka and Aubrey's story you are in for one big old alpha caveman kinda ride!! Hot sex, dirty talking and hockey what more can you ask for!

Rochelle did an awesome job with making me feel like I'm part of their stories, she painted a beautiful movie in my head that I didn't want to end! I can't wait for more from this awesome author!

Loved it

Loved this series. Appreciated the continuation of the couples" stories, future events for them. The only thing that I didn't like was Jackson. I skipped over his story after just a few chapters. I may go back and try again, but I just couldn't like him so it's doubtful. Now I'm off to read Josie's story!

With a combined rating for all the stories in the series since this was a box set I say I give it a five. It had those hot, possessive alpha males, some very very steamy moments, not whiny girls, little bits of drama and did I say some hot alpha males?
If I had to picky favorites well I could pick one but I could put em in order. Luca,drake, Jackson and Shane. Yea I think that's about right.
There romances were swift and all but the author made it work so it would be believable and I really enjoyed them all. I was glad to see the love story of each of the main characters.

An ok read but I found the stories shallow. Its something that wouldn't blew your mind away or keep you thinking after reading. The plot were good but the execution was not so earth shattering. My heart did not beat fast for them. I wanted to look through their eyes to find and feel that chemistry but I missed it because the Alpha male thing was OTT. I was like oh ok.. they hooked up just like that.

Alex and Drake story was the one story that stuck in my mind the has most potential to be really good, its just it just need more "uuuumph" while the others were so many hit and miss.

This series was ok but not mind-blowing. The sex was hot but the stories were just meh. My favorite couple from this series is Drake & Alexa. I skipped the book with Charlotte & Shane because I just didn't care about them to find their story interesting. This book could have benefitted from a good proofreader. Some sentences were not phrased right & at least once the wrong name was used in dialogue.

I picked up this box set a while ago and just got around to reading it and I have to say that I enjoyed every single story that in it. The men are definitely alpha, if not a little over bearing at times and unreasonable but the women are feisty enough to stand up for themselves. The whole Blythe College set up enabled the stories to be self contained and create an environment for the characters to flourish and create the right amount of drama without being too over the top.

My rating for the whole box set. This is my first time reading anything by Rochelle Paige. I can honestly say that I enjoyed each story but wish that Jackson/Kaylee and Luka/Aubrey's stories didn't end so abruptly. I know there is another novella out that will complete Drake/Lex's story so their stories may wrap up there.

Overall, very enjoyable read.
