Billionaire Stepbrother Alpha #1
His Needs
This is part I of an 8 part serial. If you don't like short reads that push to the next novel, this one might not be for you. We're going to put the episodes out quickly, but be aware that this isn't a FULL story.
*** 18+ Contains some language and sexual situations
Bethany had one more year of school left, and once again, poverty strikes hard. The only option would be to encourage her mother to marry her new boyfriend Kent, a billionaire tycoon in the world of accounting.
Mom is more than happy to move the wedding date up, and Bethany's soon-to-be father is willing to pay for her schooling - on one condition.
She work for his firm as an intern throughout the next year.
She agrees without hesitation, but little does she know that Kent's oldest son, Damon is the CFO. Dark features and a stare that would melt panties, he's everything one might imagine of a Billionaire's spoiled alpha son.
Her billionaire stepbrother plays lots of games and though she hates herself for it, Bethany is more than yearning for the chance to fulfill "His Needs".

Bethany and Damon were going to meet. Yes, it was inevitable they would meet. Her mom is going to marry his dad. Now she works at the family business, for him. The attraction is not necessary and may be a hindrance.
There are co workers who are trying to cause problems. She wants to help her new employer and soon to be step-brother. She agrees to help him pass the word he is not available to the other workers. Then she may regret it.
Damon is hot as his name implies. It does not help that his eyes pinning her place make her feel like he can read her thoughts. The family is overjoyed that she wants to be a part of the business. She is a catch also, since she is graduating almost top of her class.
The real dilemma her is whether she can get herself to stop dreaming about her boss. Is she any better than her co-workers when she ogles his fine butt? She does not want to treat him like a piece of meat. She needs to work. She has tuition to pay.
I love this start to the serial! The characters are strong and I know they will clash. You want them to clash when the sizzle between them is already HOT! I beg the terrific author, to please write fast! I need to know more!

I love stepbrother romances, this book made me want to read part two asap, the build up was well written. Book 1 we see how Bethany, smart, beautiful hard working girl, goes from getting by to meeting her future rich step family. When Beth finally meets her new stepbrother, and her to be boss, you know there is going to be interesting storyline between them. Going to read part right now as I need to know what Damon the stepbrother has in store for Beth.

What a fun and intense short short story. The author has done an incredible job of grabbing my attention and keeping me interested. I love Bethany's personality and can't wait to see how she and her soon to be step-brother Damon get along. I am curious to see if she is as driven at work as she was in school. This is going to be a good series and I can't wait to see how the author is going to end it.

Wowza! So glad I got this book.. I'm anticipating reading the next part something fierce!! I loved the suggestiveness at the end of this part and I love that the heroine is a brilliant girl that is persistent in what she wants and is willing to go the lengths it takes to get there.

His Needs is part 1 of an 8 part serial, and although short, was really good. I look forward to reading the remaining parts.
Bethany, graduating at the top of her class, is ready to start her Masters program, however she does not have the money to go for more than 1/3 of the year. Enter her Mother, who is in love with a billionaire, and she has been asked to be his wife. Although hesitant she agrees as she does love him and she is hoping to help her daughter as well. After meeting her mom's future husband, he turns around and lets her know he will pay for her tuition in return for her working at his company 3 days a week. It all sound wonderful until she hears she will be working for her soon to be stepbrother.
Monday rolls around and she goes to the company to meet her stepbrother and to start her position at the company. Damon, her stepbrother, is handsome and she feels an unneeded attraction to him right away. While he is interviewing her, his girlfriend calls and he tells her how to dress-sans panties and Bethany is shocked. His parting shot to her is that he expects her to fill his needs and many positions! Does he mean what she thinks he does or is she taking it the wrong way? Only time will tell!
This part of the story is well written though brief, and I anxiously await part two to watch the plot thicken! By the way she has two new stepbrothers, but so far she has only briefly spoken with one! Bethany wonders what he is like!
I gave part one 4****stars, and look forward to the rest of the book!

She's smart, sexy, sassy and determined. Bethany lives precariously, having one meal a day, and supporting herself through college with grants and scholarship. Soon she finds herself welcomed in a family of billionaires, thanks to her mom's new fiance. Her stepdad is heaven sent, her goofy stepbrother Matt is fun & understanding, the kind of brother she sees herself attached to. But Damon is a whole lot of different. He exudes power, wealth, gorgeousness, indignation and oozing with sex appeal. He's got a lot of blondes to choose from, but only Bethany seems to be the only one who could tame him down. After all his needs were fulfilled, it's time to abide by his rules!
Book 1, His Needs, is Zoe Reid's first book in the Billionaire Stepbrother Alpha series. Zoe Reid might just have found a gold mine with Damon!

So bethany convinces her mom to marry the man she has been dating as he asked so why not do it. And then once they are married her mom can ask her husband for a loan for bethany as he's filthy rich. But her soon to be step dad does one better than a loan.
Will bethany be able to handle what her step father offers her yet or maybe the better question is will she be able to handle her soon to be step brother????
Can't wait to read book two

In order to afford her Master's, she convinces her mom to marry her billionaire boyfriend. he offers to pay for school if she interns at his firm ....only problem is, she'd be working under his oldest son, Damon. He's broody, handsome and delicious....only problem is, he's about to be her step-brother. From their first meet, Damon and Bethany steam up the pages! His rules are rigid...yet Bethany makes him bend the rules to benefit them both....and benefit they do! Ali introduces a great crew of characters: 'Crazy' Matt, Bitchy Interns and the sweet Phillip!

I read parts 1 - 4 back to back and loving it so far.
Bethany is a smart, yet poor girl graduating at the top of her class. Her dilemma is how to afford the rest of her education while she studies for her Masters. Her mother is about to marry a rich man who generously offers her a job while he pays for her studies. Her future stepbrother Damon will be her boss and sparks are flying. Sexual tension in the office and at home, will it be her downfall?
The plot is great and flying by at a fast pace. The characters are fun and I'm enjoying the banter, the drama and the sizzle. Damon is a man-whore, he lacks trust in woman due to past baggage, will Bethany be 'the one' or will he break her heart? I need to go and hunt down the rest of series too find out.

I spent all day today reading the Billionaire Stepbrother Alpha Serial... when I really should have been writing but I don't regret it.
***This is worth the read & had me wanting more.***
I loved experiencing Bethany's story. Hearing about her horrible upbringing and yet she never let it define her, she is strong, determined & totally a fun character. All of Zoe's other characters are amazing & I have my favorites. I seriously loved reading these & can't wait to continue the series.
PS: I loved the ending because it made me want to read more... for which I did and I wasn't disappointed.
***MUST READ*** - Fun series Xoxo

This is an excellent first book in the series. It does a great job introducing the main characters and hinting at what is to come. Bethany is a very smart and hard working college student that just graduated, but needs money to finish her education. Her mother's fiance has offered her a wonderful opportunity, but it will involve her working as an intern for her sexy, stepbrother to be, Damon. I received this book from the author in return for an honest review. It has done its job well; I can't wait to read Part 2. You can feel the heat rising.
May 20, 2016
What I liked about this book is that, is not only a prohibited relationship beyond the boss and worker, but also is because he is to become her future stepbrother, but that does not stop any of the tension between them, because is too undeniable. This first book is so detailed and develops in a very short period of timeline that leaves you hooked to continue reading so you so you can know what will happen.
what I like about Bethany is that she´s intelligent and independent to achieve her dreams and that the special conditions of her life have not stopped her to continue studying.

This is the most addictive story I have read in forever. Bethany and Damon are reading-gold! The sexual tension starts immediately and each page just adds to.the thirst - unquenchable! I love the slight age difference with the younger being maybe emotionally ready to bring their love to.the table!! Ali's story are sensual, passionate, heart-pulling & completely breath-taking. I have just down-loaded a ton of Ali's books xxx
March 23, 2016
Another addictive story from Ali!
Bethany and Damon are another couple with ridiculous strong sexual tension that starts immediately and continues to grow as the story progresses. This story is very passionate and keeps making me have the feels over and over again.
Got to love it!! Another powerhouse romantic couple!
