Alpha 3: Who is Holden West?
Part 1 of this series is now Free!
Who is Holden West?
I'm not who you think I am.
Looks can be deceiving.
I'm good-looking, but I'm not a ladies man.
I'm beyond wealthy, but no one knows it.
I'm confident, but my heart has been broken.
In this installment, Lucy has to face Jefferson Lund alone in his hotel room. It is the first time she has allowed herself to get into this sort of situation with him and it does not go easy. She realizes that Lund has deep-rooted emotional issues that go all the way back to his childhood, and he is taking them out on her.
She also has a misunderstanding with Holden that leaves everyone feeling lost and confused. When Holden finally meets Al Mayfair and asks him about the patent, it all seems like too much of a coincidence!
There is only one thing that will sort out the misunderstanding, and that is the power of love.

47 books336 followersHi, my name is Abby. I hope you enjoy my exciting new romance and erotica stories.
I love stories about strong, female protagonists that give you a good character arc and background to the action as well as providing the steamy details of what they get up to. I am particularly attracted to themes like wife-swapping, voyeurism, exhibitionism, and public and group encounters.
I am thirty-years-old and live in the beautiful forests of rural Ontario, Canada, with my two dogs.
I hope you enjoy my stories. You are always welcome to contact me at: abby@type-writer.net

Review of books 2-5
Book 1
I reviewed separately, I found it a bit slow to start but the characters & emerging ploy had me interested enough to continue.
Books 2,3,4
I started to get really involved in the story. Poor girl is responsible for her whole family & will do anything to help. She's desperate & makes a rash (in hindsight) decision. We find out more about Holden & why he's hiding away in his friends garage.
Even though I understand why Lucy would accept the offer from the hideous man, she is so deluded. He is seriously twisted and is even more so once we discover his fantasy (and reality) and whom his lawyer is to him. I started to get really into the story, wanted to see just how far the freaky man & his cohort would go. Lucy was a little annoying in her naivety but I could ignore that for the story.
Book 5
Started well, apart from Lucy annoyingly thinking of the man as a way to escape from her reality. She says something about him makes her feel uneasy - wtf, of course he's weird, he likes to get freaky-deaky with his sister!
The scary scene in the office is great and then stupidity took over. Why did the 2 men even think of letting Shirley in the building alone with armed gunmen around & sickos holding her sister hostage? After they are saved, how come everyone is so calm? - both women have been assaulted, raped, unprotected sex yet they are fine, don't get medical attention, just behave as wipe brow phew that's over. Discuss whether should go to police and the girls decide would rather blackmail to get fathers company back, father says lost it fair and square so that would be wrong - as if the man who took his company was an honourable upstanding man, wtf?? Then, after they do decide on police, Lucy & Holden declare undying love, Shirley & Holden's friend declare love (they've met twice) then each couple go home and have unprotected sex not affected by the previous few hours.
I'm sorry, i suspend reality when I read, that is why I read, to escape but when the plot gets so ludicrous I get annoyed, frustrated & disappointed.
Started fair, middle very good, end disastrous. 2 stars overall due to crappy book 5

This installment was about people being in the same place, at the wrong time, and having the wrong perception of what they look like and of what the other person is thinking.
All the stories are coming together in a way where Holden can't reveal how he feels about Lucy since he thinks she is dating Jefferson Lund. But when he finds out the truth he still can't speak to her about it. He doesn't want to assume too much. Lucy can't talk to Holden about his "date" with Megan. She doesn't want her emotions in it to much. There are too many assumptions between those two and it is killing the relationship they already have.
And Al Mayfair is now being debased to where to has caused him to have more health problems. He is also pulled into the confusion of assumptions. According to Holden's thinking, is Al and Lucy in cahoots with Jefferson Lund to derail his company? According to Lucy's thinking, is Holden part of the plan to take her father's company and patents, and in the process to humiliate her? According to Al's thinking, is Holden trying to take over his patents with Lund's assistance? A lot is going on and is there a way to resolve all this?

This installment of the series really sucked me in, I didn't want it to end...and what a cliffhanger!
Lucy has her "date" with Jefferson Lund...that guy is just creepy!
Al is put in a difficult situation.
Holden finds out something he wish he hadn't.
And that's just a few of the highlights.

This is the book you love and hate all at the same time. With emotions running high for all and humiliation on all front happening. Well written and very entertaining to read.
