Illicit

I’m a legacy in the Zeta Theta Beta and my Mom wants me to join them to follow in her footsteps.
Luckily Bryce and Parker understand that I might have to do things I don’t necessarily want to during party games and dares. I’ve seen all the college movies but the reality surpasses any fiction.
When a new president takes Reid’s fraternity presidency with underhanded methods, rivalries make sparks fly between the men in my life and their frat brothers.
College is the time to be experimental and to find yourself.
Meet my Zeta sisters, pledge with me and overcome all the obstacles that make my freshman year an interesting and not always smooth journey.
Especially when I have to juggle my classes, my family, the pledging and my relationships.
**This book is part of a trilogy and ends in a cliffhanger. This is a why choose story where the heroine won’t have to choose between her different love interests and has sexual scenes, swearing and mild violence. Suitable only for readers aged 18+

What can I say about Illicit but the cover lives up to what is inside, one heck of a hot read. Melissa does a great job of grabbing the readers attention and not letting go. I literally could not stop reading.
Kayla and the guys are settling in at college. Kayla is wanting to be in the same sorority because her mom was in it. But if you think things will go easy for Kayla, yeah think again. I am excited to see the characters opening up and getting to know them better. I am also glad that Kayla is becoming more independent, although just having your boyfriends as your main friends is not a bad thing. There is a progression for our characters and I cannot wait to see what happens in book three, especially with the ending.
Overall this series is a great read for any Rh fan, and Melissa is doing a great job of keeping the readers coming back for more. I would highly recommend this series.

Oh. My. GAWD!
That’s all I can say... okay I have a lot more to say but it’s all just a bunch of jumbled up thoughts bouncing around in my brain with the loudest thought being “WHAT JUST HAPPENED!? WHY DID MELISSA DO THIS!? SHE IS A MONSTER!”. So once again, oh my god. I cannot even begin to describe how mind-blowing Illicit was! I didn’t want it to end, but also couldn’t slow down! I had to know what would happen next!
Honestly if I could only use one word to describe it I’d have to go with exceptional. The storyline is fresh and different then any other contemporary RH or stepbrother romance out there. The boys are hotter than hellfire. Kaya is an incredible FMC that I’m hoping will add another hottie to her harem. *hint hint* Simply put, Illicit was just absolute perfection. Don’t say I didn’t warn you once you get to the cliffhanger that makes you want to scream and shout and contemplate murder tho!

Wow! Wow! Wow! That cliffhanger is a doozy! But, it’s so worth it! This book is outstanding, I absolutely loved it. Kaya and the guys are amazing characters and I love them. And I love and love to hate, the new characters. The storyline is just plain brilliant! There are a ton of things happening in this second book of the series and you do not want to miss a single one of them. I would definitely highly recommend this book and series and I cannot wait for book 3!

I love this book!! I love these characters! Ok, that being said, this series is so good. I love our girl getting a little independence away at college and I love the guys there with her. Their connections are getting stronger and it’s just an addicting read. Can’t wait for the next one.
August 11, 2020

I am constantly surprised how much I am loving this kinda genre. This is not usually my thing but dang if Melissa Adams doesn’t make it hot! Throw in some college parties and some Cruel Intentions style drama and you got a steamy and awesome read! That cliffhanger will leave you screaming No! Just when I thought I couldn’t love Kaya’s boys more they continue to surprise me.
August 12, 2020
This book was absolutely amazing. I can’t believe what happened. I can’t stand that horrid girl and all the issues she’s caused especially the ending. I can’t wait for book 3 .

Wow!!! That ending...
Absolutely loved this book!! I loved how Kaya’s relationships developed with her guys & I really liked the Cruel Intentions vibe I got from Oliver & Valeria.

Wow, I forgot how much I was anticipating this book!! The first book came rushing back to my mind, and this one topped that. I love these characters and the forbidden relationships they have. This book has them all going to college, showing the hectic life of college and joining fraternity/sorority. We also meet some new characters, not sure how I feel about the new guy trying to worm his way into the scene. I like that the other 4 already have a close relationship, and usually don't like when a new face comes to the scene. I feel like it cheapens the other relationships when the girl can fall for another guy outside the harem. I definitely can't wait to see what happens in the next book!!
August 20, 2020
Another amazing book from Melissa Adams. I've read all of her books and she becomes a better author with each one. I loved watching Kaya's relationships with her guys develop. I can't wait to see what happens next.

It's like reverse harem meets cruel intentions.

OH MY GOD! Where do I start?
This book is just amazing, I enjoyed it so much that I couldn´t stop reading, I was actually reading while I was at work too.
I don´t normally read trilogies cause I like to find a HEA at the end of each book but I´m really enjoyed this one, I just want to know more about the life of all the characters.
I like how Melissa doesn´t writes the book in just Kaya´s perspective but she writes it in everyones perspective and I mean EVERYONE, even the bad guys, which is pretty good cause it helps you understand a lot of things and it gives you more context and information.
I have to admit that after this book I´m not a huge fan of Kaya anymore, I love all the guys but Kaya just makes some things and has some thoughts that made me so mad at her.
I don´t know how Melissa does it but I was feeling every emotion that the main characters had in the book, if they were mad or happy, I was mad or happy, I normally just roll my eyes at some books when the character gets mad or if I feel a moment is too sweet but I only rolled my eyes a few times whyle reading this book and it was because of the bad guys actions or because of Kaya but I really liked the rollercoster of emotions that this book made me feel.
I can´t wait for the final book, the ending that this one had makes me so mad and I can´t stop thinking about it, I just want to know how this trilogy is going to end cause there´s a lot of things that need some explanation and I´m dying to know.

Wowsers!
The second book in this trilogy definitely left me wanting more. The relationship develops between Kayla and each of her love interests are developing and the heat is turned up.
I keep saying this about this author - your best book to date. I have to repeat myself for each new book. This one is awesome and leaves you panting for more! I hope it won't be too long before the final book is out and all the suspense is released.

I seriously didn't see that coming at all. That cliffhanger is shocking but I can't wait to see what happens next. I love this book and the characters in it. Kaya is an amazing character, she is sweet, hard working and she is very loving. This book pulls you even deeper in to the series, you get to know the characters alittle more. I definitely recommend it to everyone.
August 21, 2020
Another amazing read. Book one left us wondering what would happen with our FMC and her guys with college coming up, and book two didn't disappoint in that regard. However, it did end with another major cliffhanger leaving us wondering what is coming up next. I loved the growth of the characters, the drama, the fun, and frankly, I cannot wait for book three.

I did this to myself
That book was just wow. It was better than the first one as the story continues to unfold and the everything you want starts to fall into place. Now I did this to myself because I realized the third and final books was not out yet. That cliffhanger was just mean! The blurb for the next book is also mean. I am so ready for this next book. Dive in it is worth the hangover!

I was dying to read Illicit after reading the first book and Melissa Adams did not disappoint. This RH story captured my attention from the very first page. This book is full of angst, so many emotions that run high and low and some steamy moments that makes you want to take a cold shower!! I loved it from the first page and then she blew me away with that cliffhanger! I am going to try and patiently wait for book 3... But I need to know what's to come next. One of Melissa Adams best! This is a must read.

repetitive and whiny
August 15, 2020
Omg that ending tho!!! I need book 3...I have been looking forward to this book since I finished the first one so I was so excited to get back into this story with these characters and this book did not disappoint every time I read one of Melissa's books they always give me all the feels and emotions. I absolutely cannot wait until book 3 comes out I don't know how I'm supposed to wait lol
August 13, 2020
Holy steamy hotness!
This book is epic! If you loved the first book with this one there’s more steamy goodness then the last book and I loved how she’s getting bolder with what she wants from her guys. Let’s just say this book is so good it put me in a book cliffhanger. I want to rate this book a 10 but you know they only give you 5 stars lol.

Book two is even better!! Loving this series!
Melissa Adams is such an awesome writer! I love reading her books.she hits all the feels. Her character development is off the charts and the world building makes me feel like I am people watching! (Which I have a horrible habit of doing, but I love it.) I can't wait to see how she wraps this all up in book three!

I really enjoyed book 2. The heat gets cranked up a few notches and Oliver’s involvement and influence is unexpected and refreshing. Villain turned knight in shining armour? Valeria does a beautiful job of building her villain status finishing off with a bang. Looking forward to the final instalment. Bring it on!
