Loyalty & Lies
Celebrating an anniversary at Spicetopia is a dream come true...
Until it turns into a nightmare.
Calvin and Paisley Mitchell are celebrating three years of wedded bliss and a baby on the way! Now that Calvin has expressed interest in threesomes, foursomes, and moresomes, Paisley can't wait to party at this exclusive resort for adults in the Bahamas--especially before their little one arrives.
Paisley is surprised but thrilled when Calvin takes to the theme park like a fish to water. Then something begins to seem terribly wrong. She wonders if it's just her hormones wreaking havoc, or if she's caught her husband in a treacherous lie.
But their marriage is strong enough to withstand anything. Isn't it?
Note: Loyalty & Lies is a crossover between the Eastern Shore Swingers Series and the Spicetopia Series. Calvin and Paisley first appear in Book #2 of the Eastern Shore Swingers Series, The Catch. You do not need to read The Catch to enjoy this book.
Loyalty & Lies is Book 6 in the Spicetopia series. Though these sweet and spicy books each function as standalones, here is the preferred reading order:
Sugar & Spice (Cy & Jolie’s story)
Virtue & Vice (Moon & Katja’s story)
Fire & Ice (Neve & Enya’s story)
Naughty & Nice (Micah & Natalie’s story)
Dares & Dice (Tyler & Makenna's story)
Loyalty & Lies (Calvin & Paisley's story)

I have read a few books from this author and she alway blows my mind. This is the sixth book to the very addictive Spicetopia series. You can read this book as a stand alone but there are some previous characters in this story as well. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. It only took me a few hours to devour this addictive story. I can’t wait to see what she will write next.
Calvin and Paisley Mitchell are celebrating their third year anniversary and also a baby on the way. Calvin surprises Paisley with a surprise getaway to Spicetopia. He knows that this trip is for Paisley and what she wants. Calvin wants to make her happy at all costs but will this help or threaten their marriage? This is an awesome crossover you must read.

Loyalty & Lies (Spicetopia Book 6) by Phoebe Alexander was a great addition to this series. This is a really good series and I really love reading about spicetopia. In book 6 we learn about Calvin and Paisley. I really liked Paisley I thought she was spunky and fun and enjoyed reading about her. I must admit I liked having a little mystery involved it kept me wanting more. I hope I can read more about Calvin and Paisley I would like to see where they go in life. They went through so much in spicetopia and survived it together. Thank you Phoebe Alexander for another amazing read and I look forward to reading more of your books.

Loyalty and Lies by Phoebe Alexander an adventure of a five-star read. This is number six in the Spicetopia series you don’t need to have read the others first as each novel focuses on a different couple at the adult resort. I met Calvin and Paisley previously as I have read and adored The Catch, but I wouldn’t have missed anything if I hadn’t, for me it was like catching up with old friends, finding the gossip and spice that is their life. It was so nice watching them together, growing together as their family grows.

Loyalty & Lies is the sixth book in the Spicetopia series by Phoebe Alexander. This is a superb contemporary romance series that takes place at “Spicetopia”, the exclusive, adults only themed resort located in the Bahamas. If you have read the previous books, then you will know that ‘spice’ is the operative word when it comes to describing the activities on the island. But, you do not need to read the rest of the series to enjoy this book- only, I really recommend that you do, as they help set the tone and mood for the series as a whole -as well as being fantastic in their own right. But be prepared to develop a Phoebe Alexander addiction- as one book will definitely ignite your desire for more.
I loved catching up with Calvin and Paisley again- they are a favourite couple of mine. Initially I didn’t realise ‘who’ the MC’s in this story would be because I didn’t read the blurb as Phoebe Alexander is on my ‘must read’ author list and her books are always an automatic ‘one-click, no questions asked’. So, I was thrilled to begin and realise that this book is a bit of a cross-over from the Eastern Shore Swingers series. I met Calvin and Paisley in “The Catch” (Eastern Shore Swingers Book #2), and they have been one of my favourites of that series, and of Phoebe Alexander’s characters, ever since.
Calvin and Paisley arrive a Spicetopia for some spicy fun, and belated honeymoon, before the arrival of their baby. They are ready to inject a little more ‘heat’ into their relationship, with some kinky adult encounters with some new ‘friends’. Things seem to be going fantastically well, but soon Paisley is left reeling- but is it just pregnancy hormones causing strife, or is there something hinky going on? Of course, I should have expected that Phoebe Alexander would keep me on tenterhooks by throwing in some unexpected drama, angst, and emotion- which had me hoping that things would work out.
Another feather in the cap for Phoebe Alexander!
Happy Reading!
Thank you, Phoebe Alexander!

Yet another installment in the Spiectopia series, based around a naughty theme part that is just for adults. While I’ll admit the stories in this series are not what I would usually enjoy reading, anyone that loves a good raunchy novel to sink their teeth into will adore this and the other books in the series.
Though the stories do tend to follow on from each other, they can be read as stand-alones, and this installment is about yet another married couple, looking to spice up their love life, by taking a daring vacation to a theme park that encourages you to test your boundaries and drop your knickers. Calvin, sweet and apparently innocent Calvin, decides that he is going to let his hair down and dip a toe in the raunchy world for the lady in his life Paisley. She is expecting, and before the baby arrives, Paisley wants Calvin to experience some shenanigans that she likes, far from the safe vanilla-ness that he is so accustomed to. They of course go, but obviously problems arise, when sweet and innocent Calvin, takes to the sauciness like French fries and seems far too easily at home with things that he claims he has never done before. Paisley, bless her, can’t be sure if it’s the hormones, but she is certain that he is hiding something from her.
Like all of Alexander’s books, this will get you hot under the collar. Though not my thing, Alexander always writes amazingly and brings to life some diamond characters that are so easy to relate to. Prepare yourself for more spice and sexiness than any one person can handle, this book may just burn your eyebrows off. You have been warned.

Paisley and Calvin are relaxing at there get away for their Anniversary but is it all rosy in their relationship or is something going on that neither will admit too.
Paisley and Calvin are celebrating their third wedding anniversary and before the baby arrives they are happy to dabble within the lifestyle, as Calvin is getting more comfortable wanting to experience more but when something does not feel right to Paisley she has doubts of is it the hormones or is something going on with her husband.
I am so glad that there is a crossover from Eastern Shore swingers as I loved this series and to be fair anything by Phoebe Alexander. I loved to see the insight into their relationship three years on and with Calvin so open to the lifestyle it is a real twist for Paisley who has always been so open to be the one who was insecure.
As always the story is well written and brilliantly written, as always I feel like I am within the story walking through the emotions of the characters as well as thinking I can be the friend with a shoulder to cry one ( I know its a book) but I have a great imagination. With the twists in the story it will have you delving into the book and devouring the pages to see the conclusion of the story.
You can read this book as a Stand alone but why would you not discover these two brilliant series, I would recommend reading the Eastern Shores first and then dive into the world of Spicetopia. I can't wait to read the next instalment, thank you Ms Alexander for another brilliant read.

I give Loyalty & Lies (Spicetopia Book 6) by Phoebe Alexander, 5 stars.
If you have been following the Eastern Shore Swingers series by this author, you will recognize Calvin and Paisley. The story of how they first met is very good and I highly recommend it, but this book can easily be read without it. It is a story that works great as a standalone, and takes place after they have been married a few years.
This is the first time I remember the author revisiting the same couple from a previous book. I wasn't sure how I would like it, but I did appreciate that it was yet again a different angle from one we have seen before. I don't know why I worried, this author continuously amazes my by her precise and imaginative writing. As usual, I was pulled in from the very beginning and it just kept getting better and better. Being set in an adult amusement park, there is of course plenty of heat in his book but it is so, so much more. There are angles going on the the characters are not aware of. There is suspense and tension, both in the story and in their relationship.
Overall, this is a wonderful modern romance book with lots of heat but also a story that takes you for a roller coaster ride. I could not put it down and highly recommend it. As previously stated, it can be read by itself, but I also recommend the rest of this series as well as the Eastern Shore Singers series.

This is another enjoyable novel in Phoebe Alexander’s ‘Spicetopia’ series, “where variety is the spice of life”. Spicetopia is a theme park for adults where all your fantasies can be fulfilled. With plenty of spice and steamy scenes this is definitely meant for readers 18+. ‘Loyalty & Lies’ can be read as a standalone story but I think the reader would get more enjoyment by reading the previous books in the series as the couples do crossover, and the backstory to ‘Spicetopia’ is given in the earlier books. This storyline focuses on Calvin and Paisley Mitchell who not only have a baby on the way but are also celebrating their three year wedding anniversary. Calvin was a bit more reluctant to stay at the exclusive resort in the Bahamas, meant for adults only, than Paisley but once he’s there he enjoys himself. Paisley goes from being surprised but thrilled when Calvin gets into the spirit of ‘Spicetopia’ to worrying that something is very wrong and wondering if her husband may have been lying to her the whole time. Paisley and Calvin are both great characters and their chemistry really comes across in the story and leads to some steamy encounters. The storyline has plenty of plot twists that it kept me hooked from start to finish. A great mix of romance, drama and spice this was an engaging story and I look forward to further books based at ‘Spicetopia’.

Loyalty & Lies (Spicetopia Book 6) by Phoebe Alexander
Loyalty &Lies is the sixth nook in the Spicetopia Series by Phoebe Alexander. I freaking loved this Romance book that has hot and steamy scenes that you will need a cool down. I’ve read several other books by this author and I’m sad because I don’t want it to be done yet. Although these can be read as standalones I do however recommend reading this series in order to get the full experience of Spicetopia through the different characters plus they kinda crossover. We first met Calvin and Paisley in The Eastern Shore Swingers Series so I was excited when I seen we was getting more of their story. These two are celebrating wedding anniversary and the upcoming arrival of a baby. Calvin wanted to take Paisley away somewhere special since they didn’t get a honeymoon. Then the story gets really interesting and I couldn’t put it down. Paisley thinks she might have caught Calvin in a Lie. Was it a lie or something else entirely? Find out what happens next in this book. I highly recommend reading. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

5out of 5 stars
Loyalty & Lies written by Phoebe Alexander is my first read and definitely not my last her work just gets better with each book. The characters are amazingly written with little quirks that make them real. The description and scenery she described made me feel like I was there.
We meet Calvin and Paisley Mitchell they are celebrating three years of wedded bliss and a baby on the way! Calvin is a little Vanilla while Paisley is little spicey when it comes to sex. So, when Calvin expressed interest in spicing up their sex life, she was excited.
Calvin booked an anniversary trip for Paisley to the Bahamas what she didn’t know was they were going to Spicetopia a dream come true Paisley can’t wait to party before their bundle of joy comes.
But something happens to make their dream trip turn into a nightmare. What could have happened to this couple? Is their marriage strong enough to handle? Will they make it back home?
You will need to read this story to find out but, I do recommend you reading all the books in this series….

Excellent! Loyalty & Lies is the 6th book in the Spicetopia series and it really amazes me that there is still so much more that can be made with these books, so many more stories to tell. Calvin and Paisley are so sweet together. I love that Calvin is so obsessed and in love with his wife, even when the 2 beautiful women, or the evil nasties as I like to think of them, are all over him, in the back of his mind he doesn’t want to do anything without his wife’s consent, and without her being there really. I was sad to learn of Beau’s roll in everything, it seemed like him and Paisley really got along and that he was a genuinely nice guy. I was sad for Paisley, being pregnant, on a beautiful island in a fun resort and amusement park and having no body to share it with, at one point I thought she was going to throw in the towel and go home, but she can’t bring herself to leave because she knows something is really wrong. The outcome was sweet and I really enjoyed this adventure, I also loved seeing the previous characters coming around. Bring on the next one!

This is the 6th book in the Spicetopia series and these books just keep getting better and better. Even though they are a series they can be read as a standalone as they each focus on a different couple.
This story focuses on Calvin and Paisley. Paisley has always had an adventurous side when it comes to finding pleasure whereas her husband Calvin has more vanilla tastes. Determined to have an open mind and to celebrate their anniversary Calvin books them on a trip to the best adult only theme park Spicetopia. Paisley is so excited about this experience and wants to make the most of it before their baby arrives. Calvin wants to be open minded enough that Paisley can 100% enjoy herself.
However something is wrong. It could just be the pregnancy hormones but in Paisley's eyes Calvin is taking to this a bit to easily.
Is Calvin hiding secrets from her? Is there lies in her marriage she doesn't know about? Even though they are madly and completely in love is their relationship strong enough to stand the temptations and experiences Spicetopia throws their way.

This series is quite the roller coaster ride. Each book is hot but the author turned up the heat in this story. It will definitely leave you panting for more. After reading some scenes, all I could think was “wow, she did it again”. These books are extremely, sexually naughty but they do have a storyline as well, it’s not only sex. This book introduces two new characters, Calvin and Paisley, who happens to be a crossover from her Eastern Shores Swingers series. They are looking for some last bit of excitement before their baby arrives but their adventure turns dangerously wrong. Can their love survive the lies and deception?
I thought it was very cool that she mixed characters from her other novels in this one. It makes it seem as if they all live in the same world. We also get to see some returning characters which is always fun. I love the characters in these books and the stories are so much fun to read. Well done Ms. Alexander!

Back to Spicetopia! I forget how much I love visiting there till I pick up another book, then add in one of my favorite couples from The Eastern Shore Swingers series and all was right in my world for the duration of this book!
This whole series is so much fun, each one could actually be read as a standalone but I just think you need the whole of the Spicetopia series to appreciate it! This one might just be my favorite, it could have to do with the characters I've already come to love but I loved the approach to this story. I love the emotions I was feeling throughout. I loved loved loved being on the edge of my seat at times wondering what would happen next. I was a mess at times, angry, scared, happy, sad.. Yes this author hit it all in this one!
Another one sitting read because I could not put it down. If you have not read any of this author's books, you really must..You won't regret it I promise, and I'm sure she will become another addition to your one click list as quickly as she did mine!

Loyalty & Lies is the 6th book in the Spicetopia series by Phoebe Alexander. I have read them all and enjoy them. They are really unique, and while the story has overlapping characters, you could pick up any book and read out of order and still enjoy it. These characters apparently cross over from another series, Eastern Shore Swingers, which I have not read. But all of Alexander's books I've read are great, so I may venture into that series next. This book was full of drama and suspense. I liked that I didn't really figure out what was going on until towards the end. I don't want to say too much as there was a lot of secrets and mystery. But it was a great book and kept me hooked, I didn't want to put it down. Definitely for the more mature audience, as the entire series takes place at a adult theme park full of sexual experiences. Not for the faint of heart, but at the same time, it wasn't so graphic that I was turned away. It was well written and like always, the characters are great.

5 stars
I was SO excited to see this book had been released. I have adored the Spicetopia series and I loved Ms Alexanders Easter shore Swingers Series so to see a crossover of characters absolutely made my day! This book was an amazing read, I loved everything about it. I think it may be my favourite from this series so far. I loved reading about Calvin and Paisley again; I loved them both as much as I did the first time I read their story. Paisley has such a great personality and added in her pregnancy hormones she was even better to read about. I loved the twists and turns the author took the story, definitely had me on the edge of my seat more than once especially seeing's how much I love these two!
I would recommend reading this series in order although they can be read as standalones. I can’t wait for more from Ms Alexander as always! She is definitely one of my favourite authors.

I have adored the Spicetopia series and I loved Ms Alexanders Easter shore Swingers Series so to see a crossover of characters absolutely made my day! This book was an amazing read, I loved everything about it. I think it may be my favourite from this series so far. I loved reading about Calvin and Paisley again; I loved them both as much as I did the first time I read their story. Paisley has such a great personality and added in her pregnancy hormones she was even better to read about. I loved the twists and turns the author took the story, definitely had me on the edge of my seat more than once especially seeing's how much I love these two!
I would recommend reading this series in order although they can be read as standalones. I can’t wait for more from Ms Alexander as always! She is definitely one of my favourite authors.

Loyalty and Lies is the sixth book in the Spicetopia series by Pheobe Alexander.
Despite being part of a series, this book does work well as a standalone, although to enhance your enjoyment of this even more I would recommend starting at the beginning. Not only is this a great series, but reading the previous stories will make this book even more enjoyable.
This book follows Paisley and Calvin (fans of this author will be pleased to see a crossover between series here). They are happily married, expecting a baby, and about to celebrate their third wedding anniversary. Where better to celebrate their big occasion than at Spicetopia? But cracks begin to surface when Paisley grows uncomfortable with how much Calvin enjoys it.
If you have read anything by this author before then this book will not disappoint. The characters are sweet, and of course, we have spice! I can’t wait to read more.

"Loyalty & Lies" is the sixth book in Phoebe Alexander's Spicetopia series. This installment revolves around the themes of trust, betrayal, and uncovering hidden truths. The plot introduces a touch of mystery, which adds an intriguing layer to the steamy romance that fans of the series have come to expect.
I found this book to be a step up from the previous one, mainly because the storyline felt more believable. The added mystery element kept me engaged and there was definitely more steam compared to "Dares & Dice." However, while it was an improvement, it still fell short of the magic the series had in its earlier books.
I appreciated the development of the characters and the intricate dynamics of their relationships, but overall, it felt like the series is starting to lose its spark. I'm invested enough to see it through to the end, but I'm definitely ready for the final book. After the first couple of books, the series has been on a bit of a decline for me.

Loyalty & Lies (Spicetopia Book 6) by Phoebe Alexander
4 Stars!!!!
What another wonderful adventure into the world of Spicetopia. This is the sixth book from this author that I have read and I was not let down. I really like how the author is able to bring just enough drama into the story and keep the story flowing. I also like that the author is able to bring the characters to life.
I like how this is a cross over book and that the story is readable without having read the original although I have done. Calvin and Paisley really have explosive chemistry. I could relate to Paisley when she started to worry and have doubts over what her husband had told her. I was hooked and couldn't put the book down till I finished. I definitely will read more from this author in future and this series.

Ooh La La
Phoebe Alexander is one of my favorite romance authors. From my first book and all the books after, I settle down and prepare to read until I am finished with the book. Spicetopia book series has been amazing and this book has to be my favorite so far. This book grabbed me with the characters. This is Calvin’s and Paisley’s story. We met them in a prior book and nothing made me so happy as them getting their own book. Calvin and Paisley have been married for a couple years and now they are expecting a baby. There is a bad situation that presents itself between Calvin and Paisley. Will they be able to work through this situation or will it bring it to a halt? Everyone needs to remember the truth will set you free. I highly recommend this book and all of Phoebe Alexander’s books.

Loyalty & Lies by Phoebe Alexander is the sixth book in the Spicetopia series. This can be read as a standalone story and enjoyed completely. Calvin and Paisley Mitchell have decided for their anniversary to go to Spicetopia to add some spice to their marriage before the new baby arrives. But does this bring in more questions than answers for the couple? This series has always been spicy but this addition truly brings the heat. This is a crossover to another of the author's series but I do not feel as if I have missed vital information in order to enjoy this book. As always she brings something new to the table and I enjoy how she develops the ongoing series and introduces us to another layer and element to the overall story. This is not for young eyes but enjoyed by adults. I look forward to where Ms. Alexander takes me next in her books and will wait for her next book.

Loyalty & Lies (Spicetopia Book 6) by Phoebe Alexander
Not my first read by Alexander, but damn if it doesn't get any better. Loyalty & Lies is a sexy book and I can't wait to read more. Alexander knows how to draw readers in and leave them wanting more.
Paisley is finally getting a dream come true. Getting to go on their honeymoon is a fantastic thing. But getting to go to an adult theme park is awesome. The quote I chose for Paisley is: “I thought you said this was too cheesy to ride.”
Calvin is treating his beautiful pregnant wife to a trip of their lifetime. He wants to do whatever makes her happy since she is amazing. She is giving him the greatest gift of all. A child. The quote I chose for Calvin is: “Good, that means our baby is growing.”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

This is book 6 in the series. I absolutely love how the author pulled characters from a different series and put them in this series. Never would’ve expected that.
Calvin and Paisley Mitchell are going to Spicetopia for their anniversary. It was a surprise trip Calvin planned but there’s no place in the world that Paisley would enjoy more. Things do not go exactly as planned. Everything isn’t always as it seems. Calvin and Paisley’s trust in eachother will be tested on this short trip. Will they be able to overcome everything that happens or will jealousy win like planned by others.
Always love when this author comes out with new books and I absolutely loved this one and the author nailed it!!! Great Characters, great storyline. Loved it all! From beginning to end, I was obsessed to see what was going to happen next. Grab your copy today!

Happy Anniversary......or is it all that it appears
Loyalty & Lies is the sixth book in the Spicetopia series and is the story of Calvin and Phoebe. If you have read the Eastern Shore Swingers series then you may remember both of these characters from there. But if you haven't then don't worry as this book can be read as a stand-alone also. Calvin and Phoebe take a long delayed honeymoon and go to Spicetopia, an adult themed playground of hedonistic pleasures. But maybe not everything as it appears between these two as they enjoy some playtime at the resort.
This is a very sexy adult story about a couple who are on the threshold of a major change while continue to explore their relationship and sexual appetites within the confines of their marriage. A great read.
I received a copy of this book and am leaving my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

Of course, I love the Spicetopia books, and have been steadily reading every single one. They are always so fun with a little bit of s€xy thrown in, and I Love it! Loyalty & Lies was no different, and even better, it also includes some of the cast from the Eastern Shore Swingers (ESS) series! Perfect!
Any of the stories from this series can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading the whole series (and the ESS series too!) because they are totally worth it.
This particular book brings in Paisley and Calvin from ESS for a romantic and s€xy babymoon vacation, but not everything goes as smoothly as they hoped. Excellent choice! I love having both their perspectives as they go on this journey, both believing in their partner but worried nonetheless.
Highly recommend this book and series, as well as Phoebe Alexander in general.

Loyalty and Lies (Spicetopia #6) by Phoebe Alexander is so hot and magical with a side of danger to keep it interesting. This is the book I had to make myself put down just so I could go to bed and have something to finish later. I admit I was late in finding this author’s work and I’m now trying to read everything I can get my hands on! Calvin and Paisley are the perfect couple taking a late honeymoon and a last trip of 2 before the baby comes. They encounter some sexy times but also a little danger is attracted to them. You get a little bite of past couples in the series, just enough to say Hello! Also you’ll recognize this couple if you’ve read The Eastern Shore Swingers books. I can’t recommend enough!

Loyalty & Lies (Spicetopia Book 6) by Phoebe Alexander - Review by Gail Guerrero
Four stars
When it comes to writing what most deem controversial Phoebe Alexander excels at it. I enjoyed this story a lot. Calvin and Paisley her celebrating marriage and a baby. What better way to than an adult only resort! I really liked Paisley’s personality. She was so happy and spunky through most of the book. I loved that she could be who she truly was with her husband. That she was comfortable with their openness. But is it too smooth? Is Calvin taking to the life too well? I would definitely be questioning my man if he was just okay to it and took too it fast without some type of reserve. I overall enjoyed this story and wish the couple many happy years and more babies.

Loyalty and Lies by Phoebe Alexander is the sixth book in the Spicetopia series. This series just honestly keeps on getting better and better, with each new book becoming my favourite. I loved the intrigue to Calvin and Paisley’s story - I wanted to find out the truth just as mush as she did. I also enjoyed the fact that we actually met this couple in and earlier book. It made it that much easier to connect with them.
Phoebe Alexander always seems to know how to write a story that will completely capture your attention. There is a bit of everything that you could possibly want in each and every book. They are always so well written and this book is no exception. I would highly recommend this series.

Loyalty & Lies (Spicetopia Book 6)
By Phoebe Alexander
Another great book in a great series. I loved that I recognized Calvin and Paisley from another series by this author. This story had me on the edge of my seat throughout most of the book. These two are going on the honeymoon they never got to have. It's their last big hoorah before the baby is born. Calvin wants to make it special for Paisley by taking her to Spicetopia (adult theme park) where they can let loose. Their loyalty and trust gets tested in this book. I loved this book and if you haven't read the other books in this series you absolutely need to because they are just as engaging as this one. I can't say enough good things about this author's writing and this series. I highly recommend this book.
