I KNEW THAT WAS COMING! **gasp, gasp, gasp** But somehow I was still shocked.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Damn! Where is Book two when I need it. My God.
Okay, firstly: Roxy Sloan has the serial formula down to a T! It's great. An easy start, a little mystery, a dash of fierce sexiness, and then she drops you like it's hot and BOOMMMMMMM... it ends and leaves you screaming for more. You're HOOKED. TAKEN. OWNED!
I love it.
I love these little reads.
They take all your emotions and inflame them. They're so short, that you're constantly on high alert. You know shit's going to go down in more than one way which leaves you hyper vigilant! If that even makes sense.
Basically in The Scene, Nicole moves to Miami to investigate her brother Eli's death! She doesn't believe what the police are telling her and she wants to do some digging. While there she meets Xavier. AND that's ALL I'll say. Hahahahaha! Sorry, it would be too spoilery.
Just know this! You're in for....
HOT SEX.
A FAST PACED STORY LINE.
GOOD WRITING.
INTRIGUING CHARACTERS.
AND MYSTERY.
It's an addicting read and I cannot wait to get my hands on Part 2!

*****THREE STARS*****
Nikki is a young woman who moves to Miami six months after the death of her brother Eli, to get some answers. He was killed in a car accident, but she believes he was murdered. She found out he got himself mixed up with some drug dealers and now she is determined to get to the truth.
Her friend from high school sets her up with a job at a high end hotel in Miami. She delivers room service to hotel guests and her first day on the job, she meets a sinfully sexy man named Xavier. He's the object of many of the hotel employees desires. During their first meeting sparks are definitely flying between the two.
I really didn't connect with this story and maybe it's because it is super short. Neither the hero or heroine were all that intriguing to me and I felt like Nikki was a Nancy Drew wanna be. I find it highly unbelievable that a young woman, who moves to a new city, is going to willingly interact with known drug lords, who are dangerous, in order to investigate her brother's death.
The steamy scenes were pretty smoking but there was no mention of condoms or birth control, or STD tests! So these two just have sex on top of a sports car after having known each other for like two days and they do it without any protection???!!!
Maybe there wasn't enough of a story because of the length of this novella. Hopefully part two offers more and I end up having feelings for the two MCs.

THIS SOUNDS PERFECT FOR ME!
Kudos to Roxy & her cover designer for beautifying the pages of GR with these hot covers! Books in The Scene Series should be read in order:
Book 1: The Scene Part I
Book 2: The Scene Part II
Book 3: The Scene Part III
BLURB:
Miami. The city of sex, sin — and secrets.
I came here with one mission: solve the mystery behind my brother’s death.
Somebody’s got answers.
Somewhere, I’ll find what I’m looking for.
I didn’t bet on Xavier. He’s my way into the scene — and my biggest threat.
I should keep my distance, but I can’t stay away.
I'm playing with fire, and I just pray I don't get burned.

4 "You Were Made For Me" Stars!
(BR with Dee & Patty)
-People come here and get caught up in the scene.
-This is the land of oiled-up, tanned, perfectly polished bodies. If you want to hang with the beautiful people, you have to be on your game.
Nicole Scott aka Nikki has just moved to Miami. Her best friend Hailey from high school helped her get a job at a luxury hotel/resort on Fisher Island where the high end clientele often includes celebrities. Nikki wants a change of scenery after burying her brother Eli almost six moths ago, and also wants to secretly investigate what happened to him.
Nikki's family was told Eli was caught up in a drug ring & his death was ruled an accident. Nikki believes there is more to the story, & wants to not only find out the truth, but wants to clear his name & get justice. Her brother worked at a club in South Beach called Club Ultra. Nikki decides to find answers & try to get information by going to this club.
While Nikki is trying to solve this mystery surrounding her brother's death, she meets a gorgeous, sexy billionaire businessman named Xavier who is staying in one of the villas at the hotel. She has avoided social situations lately and not indulged in physical pleasures, but this man is wickedly hot, & she wants him so bad. She tries to resist him, but he pursues her, and eventually she gives in to her lust for him. They spend time together & she enjoys his company & the delicious things he does to her body, but is there more to Xavier than meets the eye?
-I haven't been affected this much by a man this soon before. He's like a drug that I know I shouldn't taste, but I can't help but want. And he's made no secret of the fact that he wants me to.
-"Nicole, I'm addicted to you. I need to have you."

★★★ 3 Stars ★★★
Another serial from Roxy Sloane, In this, part 1, we see Nikki arriving in Miami to work on a hotel resort with her friend Hailey. Nikki has another motive for working there though, she is determined to find answers as to what happened to her brother before his 'accidental death'.
She immediately catches the eye of rich guest, Xavier who sets out to wine and dine her (and fuck her).
It was OK, I found Xavier a bit cheesy with his pick up lines and I thought Nikki conveniently made friends very quickly with the right people who were involved in 'The Scene' that could help her find her answers.
As expected, this ends on a cliffhanger. A very short read.
Part one of 3, (I think) told in Nikki's POV.
ARC gratefully received from the author in exchange for an honest review

Guh, I need more. Roxy Sloane has done it again. Her novellas are always great.
This book is no exception. Nicole is seeking justice for her dead brother. He died in Miami but Nicole is certain that someone murdered him. Determined to locate his killer, she moves to Miami and gets a job as a waitress in a luxurious hotel. Her plan gets a little sidetracked when she meets Xavier. Xavier is a handsome and very wealthy business man who is residing in one of the hotel's villas. When Nicole meets him, she is immediately attracted to him.
But Nicole has a plan; she wants to find out if her brother was involved with drugs that ultimately killed him. Trying to find out the truth, she will put herself at risk trying to infiltrate infamous drug circles.
I loved the book and it was an easy and quick read. The twists and turns were exciting and I really cannot wait to find out how the author will get her characters out of this mess after that cliffy. The chemistry between Xavier and Nicole was amazing and the secondary characters certainly served their purpose and made this story even more fascinating.
Take a ride to Miami with this novella; the city of sin, grittiness, beauty and danger. You won't be disappointed.
5 Stars from me. Loved it!

***3.5 Miami Stars****
The Scene is a book very much like Miami; sexy and colorful but not everything always makes sense in this land. Trust me I know, because I've been a Miami resident for now seventeen years and not too long ago I was very much part of the Miami scene.
Like in this book describes, must people in Miami are very into theirs or others good looks. The city is full of beautiful people and everywhere you go physical beauty is key to get into the hottest places. Lucky for us Miami residents, there's a lot more to us than just South Beach.
Nicole just moved to Miami with the mission to look for answers behind the mystery of her older brother's death. A friend from her childhood has offered her a place to live and a job as a waitress in a very exclusive Miami Beach resort. Her main goal is to talk to every person who knew her brother and find the pieces that make whole the truth about her brother's death, because she doesn't believe what the police reports are saying.
On her first day working in the resort she delivers room service to the most handsome man she's ever seen, he is a sexy billionaire named Xavier. This man appears like a total mystery but he is very upfront about his intensions with Nicole. He wants her in every aspect and is not long before he starts pursuing her.
Nicole is very close to finding the truth, even though her focus has shifted to Xavier and the wonderful things he does to her. What will happen when she finds out the truth and it's the opposite of what she was expecting?
Was I over the top in love with this book? No. I'm not someone who is very into the whole mystery solving kind of book, so that might be the main reason why I wasn't impressed by this one. The book ends on a cliffhanger and its the first installment of the series, so we really still don't know much about the true nature of the characters. I'm going to give myself another chance and continue reading to see if I can establish a stronger connection with the characters and their story. We'll see...

5- Fucking Stars!!!!
You know that feeling you get, when you hear that one of your favorite authors is going to be releasing a new book or series? That feeling of pure excitement. Of wonder. You think, how in the hell can she top her last series. I ask myself this question every damn time. And each time, Roxy serves it to me on a silver tray. With all the trimmings. And a whole lotta hot new sexiness!!! With an even hotter guy!! An even more kick ass leading lady. And an amazing plot!! Filled with incredible supporting characters!! This is what Miss Sloane does. Every. Single. Time.
In this hot new series, we are transported to Miami. We have Nikki who just moves there and starts working at a luxury hotel/resort. She's also trying to find info on the death of her brother.
And then there is Xavier. Sexy as sin, rich, and a bit of a mystery. He is a guest at this hotel. And is quite taken by Nikki. Who serves him. In more ways than one.
So I've tried to figure out a way to do this review without spoilers. Because I hate those. And I really can't. I will say that I love the mystery surrounding Nikki's brother's death. And I will say that the ending....yeah, I might be a little hungover from it. But yay!!! We only have to wait one week for part 2!!!
Roxy never fails to bring all the things in her stories. We get some of the hottest sexy times ever. A certain car scene....holy hell. I was wanting a new car after that. The ocean scene. Yeah, if you know me, you know I'm terrified of the ocean. But after that, I would definitely risk my fear of drowning for a dip with Xavier. Just sayin. And I love how all her stories are suspenseful. They not only make you squirm. But they make you think.
Roxy Sloane is a literary genius. I love her writing. I love her mind. I love her thoughts. I simply love her.
The Scene is 110% approved by this Dirty Girl!! 1-click it now!!

4.5/5
This was an interesting read and I couldn't put it down! Although it was obviously that the story was a bit predictable and a cliffhanger didn't even surprise me, I really enjoyed it. I wanted to know exactly who Xavier was!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Roxy Sloane has done it again!! She's given us the perfect blend of sex, intrigue, danger and romance. You can always count on her books to be smoking hot, and this is no exception. I have so many ideas for activities to do in and on a sports car now...
Nicole moves to Miami to live with a friend under the pretense of just needing a change of scenery. The truth is that she has suspicions about her brother's death six months ago. The coroner says it was a car accident, and the police say he was involved in a drug ring. That's not the brother she remembers, so she's taken it upon herself to dig into what really happened to him.
She gets a job at a high class hotel where she meets the super sexy Xavier. They have amazing chemistry together and even though part of Nicole doesn't want to get sidetracked from her mission, she knows she has to live a life too. She accepts his offer of a date and they have a great time, quite possible the sexiest date I've ever read about. He likes her enough to want to see her again, so they make plans for another night. Xavier is a bit of a mystery to us. She has caught him in a few peculiar conversations that tell us there might be more to him than just a restaurant owner/investor.
When she isn't working, Nicole is hanging at a popular club her brother used to work at and asking questions. I'm sorry, but she just isn't a very good private investigator. She's asking dangerous questions of dangerous people and it's going to get her in trouble. By the end of the book she's realized she doesn't know who she can trust and who she can't, she also knows her brother's death was definitely murder and the bad guys know someone's asking questions. Do they know it's her? Is anyone she's been close to involved in whatever went down with her brother? Is she being played by the people she's asking questions of? We won't know until part two because we're left with one hell of a cliffhanger that left me with my jaw dropped and saying, "WHAT?!".
I need to know what happens next, like right NOW!!

WTF?!? Seriously, that’s how you’re ending part one?!? Ahh! Give me more now!
Ms. Sloane sure knows how to write a quick, sinfully sexy read that is also full of drama and suspense!
“He’s like a drug that I know I shouldn’t taste, but I can’t help but want.”
Nikki is new to South Beach in Miami. She is searching for answers as to her brother’s death. With the help of her friend Hailey, she has a job at a resort delivering room service. One meal to Xavier and she can’t help the attraction she feels to him.
“I’m shocked by how much I want him; how my body responds to his magnetic presence.”
The two hook up and it is super hot! That car scene – wowza! In true Roxy fashion, we are left right as things are getting good and I cannot wait for the next part in this serial! ~ Tiffany, 4.5 stars

What an ending to an action packed book! I can't wait to see what happens when 'you know who' sees 'what's her face'
This one has definitely kept me on the edge of my seat and I'm anticipating what is going to happen next and how this is all going to play out!

WOW! Just WOW! The Scene is full of suspense, drama and total HOTNESS!
Can I just say that I need to go to Miami to find my very own Xavier.
Nicole moves to Miami with Hailey, her best friend, to try to get closure and find out the real story behind her brothers death.

Xavier is a sexy mystery. I want to know more about him. I want to hear him talk dirty again and again and again. I loved this first part of The Scene. I loved that it had that fast-paced Roxy Sloane vibe but it carried a whole new voice with Nikki. We have new setting - Miami - and it’s fucking perfect for this book. The vibe of this city shined through in Roxy’s words. I want to go on a yacht and wear Beach Fabulous clothes and hang with Nikki and her fabulous friends.
As always, Roxy gives us some mystery and intrigue along with the sexy times. This time, Nikki is searching for clues as to what her now deceased brother was up to before his passing. In her quest for info, she makes new home in Miami and takes a job at an exclusive resort. Xavier is a guest there, but you can quickly tell he’s more than just a guest. He’s in the best villa, orders fancy food, and carries himself in a way that screams power. His flirtation quickly escalates and hot damn, once these two start, there’s no stopping them!
In true Roxy fashion, we’re left with questions and an ache for more of our hero and heroine. I need to see what happens with Nikki and Xavier - STAT - because that ending… yeah that ending just left me wanting more!

The GODDESS of Serials is BACK!!! AND she just kicked my ass with this ending! You know it's coming, and yet it still surprises the FUCK out of you every single time! HOT DAMN woman! You are a master!
HOT HOT HOT! Everything about Book 1 is HOT! Roxy Sloane blows me away with how amazing her writing is, and how easily she hooks me with her characters and fast-paced story lines. It's angsty, it's erotic as all hell, AND we get a hero who is a sexy mystery! Don't mind me...I fell like I have to use an exclamation point after every sentence because I'm so freaking exciting for this series! This will go by so quick, so be sure and savor the awesomeness that is Roxy's newest baby. From the very beginning I kept look at the bottom corner of my Kindle watching the percentage fly by, and all the while I was willing it to slow down. I didn't want it to end. I wanted to learn more! No! I NEEDED to know more! But in typical Sloane fashion, she gives us an ending that drops our jaws to the goddamn floor! Oh and you know what...my jaw is still on that floor! It will be there until I can get my grubby little hands on Part Two!
Nicole and Xavier's story starts off HOT, filled with page after page of simmering sexual tension and ends with a WTF moment that will make you throw your head back and scream! I LOVED it! I CRAVE more! Don't deny me this Roxy Sloane. You publish Part Two and you publish it now! For the LOVE of God, give it to us gently, pretty please!

Roxy is The Queen of Fast Fucks and she shows us why she reigns supreme in The Scene. If you're new to the serial novella circuit, get in here and learn from the master.
Overflowing with dirty talk, skinny dipping and decadence, The Scene is a quick and delicious story that will make your temperature rise.
Would you like some suspense with your mind-blowing orgasms? Then you need to get in touch with The Scene and let Xavier work his magic fingers and tongue while traveling through the potential underbelly of a high class drug ring searching for the mystery of Nikki's brother's death.
Nikki isn't prepared for the rush that was in store for her when she moved to Miami. While she's trying to find out what happened to her brother she's swept away by Xavier, a billionaire-type alleged playboy who has decided that she's the one he wants.
I totally wasn't expecting that cliffhanger to happen in this book....so now I'm sort of at a loss as to how the story will turn. THIS IS A GOOD THING. I'm now ready for anything... please!

5 Blazing stars for Xavier and Nicole!
I don’t think words can accurately describe how much I enjoyed this first book in the series. The chemistry and banter between Nicole and Xavier was so entertaining. The sensuality between them is HOT! Sizzling, actually. Nicole (Nikki) has just arrived in Miami in search of answers to her brother’s strange death. She’s not in Miami for long before she meets the incredibly handsome Xavier. There is so much mystery surrounding Xavier. Who is he and what is he doing in Miami?
Sure, this is a quick read, but I cannot get Xavier out of my head. I'm left with such a book hangover! The awesome news is that we don’t have to wait much longer for THE SCENE 2! It comes out July 22.
What will happen next with Nicole and Xavier? I’m anxious to find out!

Smoldering Miami heat!
Well, all I can say is Roxy Sloane hit it out of the park once again. I was on the edge of my seat and could not put this book down! It's riveting, sexy, suspenseful and leaves you wanting more.
Make way for Xavier, ladies, the newest lady killer in Roxy's arsenal. He'll make you melt into a puddle the first time you meet him. Nicole (Nikki) never had a chance!
Without any spoilers, Nikki goes to Miami to get answers about her brother's death, but she gets much more than she bargained for when she meets Xavier, a billionaire guest at the hotel resort she works at. He is irresistible and proves to be a distraction for Nikki.
A great start to a must-read new series!

Oh my, Wow! I swear every serial is better than the last. Roxy Sloane brings the heat to Miami!!!
Xavier is sinfully sexy. He holds an air of mystery -- something is laying right beneath the surface, but can't yet be reached. The young, ambitious businessman who appears to have been bred into Alpha sensuality. He will melt your panties with one look. This man has skills!!!!
Nikki is starting anew in Miami while trying to get information on her brother's death. This whole quest makes me feel uneasy. How can this end well? On her quest for answers she meets the irresistible Xavier. Their chemistry is off the charts hot!
I am dying for Part Two of this series and thankful that it isn't too far off. That end--evil, but in the best way!

5 Stars!
Hot! Hot! Hot! Holy smokes.... this is only the first book in a new series by this extremely talented author but it is already shaping out to be an amazing series. This author take the crown in serial romances... hands down. She won me over with her first book and each time she releases something, I eagerly come back wanting more.
This book was amazing. Sexy, fun, edgy, intense... this book has everything to keep you glued to the pages until the end, desperately wanting more. Roxy Sloane is brilliant when it comes to erotic romance. She plays with your emotions in such a good way, gets you all hot and bothered, and keeps you hanging until the very last word.
This is the first book in a three part series so it does end in a cliffhanger. This is the beginning of Nikki and Xavier’s story. Nikki moved to Miami with a purpose and she plans to get answers, without distractions or obstacles. What she doesn't expect is Xavier and the way he makes her feel. He is a temptation that may just be too good to pass up. Get ready for one sinfully sexy ride.
I cannot wait for the next in this series!

I adore Roxy's writing.
I knew that this was going to be spicy, being set in Miami. There is just something about this city that puts a sense of heat into the story. Roxy has a way of setting the "scene".
You start with the mystery that is Nikki and her brother. You are immediately caught up wanting to know what happened. Then Xavier comes into the picture as this rich, debonair mystery man. He encapsulates Nikki, as well as the reader, from the get go. Watching Nikki stumble through the first few meetings with Xavier reminded me of myself so much, you couldn't help but want to shake her and be like "just make out with him already!!!!"
As you get drawn into the story more and more, the twists and turns start to build and you are just dying to know who this "El Jefe" is.
I cannot wait for part 2 to keep getting deeper and deeper into this mystery.

Once again, Roxy takes you on a ride to an amazing place, and brings a great couple (they don't know it yet) along for a great adventure. The alpha in this series is Xavier, self-made mogul and sex god! He's got some secrets, but so does our lady, Nicole. She moves to Miami for a change of scenery, and to try to find out how her brother died. The cops are saying one story, but Nicole doesn't believe it. Xavier could be a piece of this mysterious puzzle, and Nicole will do whatever it takes to get to the truth behind her brother's death. Xavier is immediately attracted to Nicole when they meet. They start seeing each other, and as feelings develop, trust issues surface from both Xavier and Nicole. Nicole finds out something about Xavier that could possibly ruin their fledgling relationship. Roxy leaves us with a cliffie, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Roxy has done it again! Nikki and Xavier are the perfect pair in this twisty, sexy, mystery of a sister trying to get to the bottom of her brothers death in Miami. The story begins with Nikki taking a job at a resort in Miami to try and get answers about her brother. Beginning a rendezvous with the sexy and rich resort guest Xavier was never in her plan, but she soon realizes she can have her fun and while still searching for answers.
In the beginning of the three part series we are left with a cliffhanger and more questions than we started the book with. I'm sure part two will not disappoint and I can't wait for more of Xavier! He has definitely been added to the best book boyfriend list of 2015! I can't wait to see where the future takes these two...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ STARS.
If you have read any of Ms Sloane's work you would know three things:
1. She sure knows how to write sexy men;
2. There is always an interesting plot; and
3. Cliffhangers and epic ones at that.
The Scene is no different! Set in Miami the heat between the H/h radiates off the pages. A short quick read ending on a cliffhanger. (Hurry up second instalment)
If you want sizzling chemistry an interesting story with a side of suspense THIS novella is your next TBR.
