The conclusion to Jake and Alexa's story (which began in Chicago and continued in Miami).
******************** “Training Her Curves” is a series of installments (a serial) featuring three billionaire siblings in search of their happily ever after (with a few fun and very racy quirks to keep things hot). There are seven completed installments (as of May 2015) and their reading order is Chicago (Jake and Alexa), Miami (J/A), Boston (Dylan and Jo), Dallas (J/A conclusion), Geneva (D/J conclusion), and Riona’s story as told in Kinbaku & London.
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Christa Wick has been hybrid publishing since 2012 (yep, she's one of the O.G. indie authors). She's written 50+ romances starring curvalicious heroines and alphalicious heroes whose stories span the spectrum of: steamy & sweet, steamy & emotional, steamy & suspenseful, steamy & paranormal, steamy & dark, and...well, you get the idea. Her darker, dirtier books are under C.M. Wick, and she also writes general fiction sci-fi thrillers and suspense novels under other pen names.
Let's see... I've already introduce you to Jake and Alexa, So yeah ! Basically they started as only a business relationship, engaging only on stage, of course that never happened only ON stage We get to see what the X factor was, and actually I was expecting something quite shocking!, but hey! that worked as well So both start to develop feelings to each other, but based that they’re only related by business; neither one of them are ready to be honest with themselves… then comes the X factor… a bit alone time, a restraining one as well then we get some of action by Alexa’s side, given that she just can’t stay put after her BIG secret has been revealed… and OF COURSE! At that point we get to see how Jake realized his own feelings to her and goes after her.
So we go from this, alone
To this: But looks like we still get to see more of them in the next books, even though what happens in the next is up to Jo-Jo and Dylan and his little sister!, I want a story for Mishka as well!!!
In Training Her Curves Dallas, Alexa past finally comes to bite her in the ass. The truth comes out about her real name. And what a horrible mother and step-father she has. But that does not stop Jake from wanting her in his life for good. The problem is Alexa doesn't see the beauty in herself that Jake does, and he is determined to show her and prove to her that he wants her for far more then a business proposition. He loves her and he isn't giving up on her and the life they can have together.
Training her Curves Dallas was great. It was filled with drama, intense and deep passion, crazy people lol, and love from a wonderful man. I am SO looking forward to more books in this series.
Liked the other books in this series, and enjoyed Alexa prior to this book, but right now I want to punch her. I've basically skimmed the passages where she harps on how she isn't good enough, and that her man shouldn't want her anymore. Unfortunately that was most of the book. It went something like this: 'My mother and stepfather are horrible people and I ran away from them! Also I'm overweight and not what I have consider ideal for my man. There's no way he will continue to care for me! Let me over-analyze everything he says and does until it fits with my perspective that he can't care for me.' Perhaps I'm being harsh, but I fill my own daily whine-quota and don't need help from fictional characters.
Sigh... What can I say. I'm sooooo disappointed in Alexa. I thought she had more fight in her than this. We all knew her past would catch up to her but honestly I didn't think she would turn into a complete coward. She literally turned tail and ran. She wouldn't even give the people she cared about an opportunity to show her they would stick by her. I'm so disappointed. While there was a happy ending for them it felt tacked on. I thought she should have been stronger. Instead this installment comes off like one big sob story/pity party.
