Escape with an Alpha discussion

Let's all get to know one another! Where are you from and what are some of your favourite reads?

Hi!
My name is Barbara, but while at the university they started calling me Curly( due to my hair)and I like it that way.
I am from Poland, Europe and in my early 30s. I have a husband and a daughter who is almost 2. My major was English Studies-given that it was here in Poland it consisted of nearly everything from syntax to literature.
Now I'm an English teacher myself in a school you would call Junior High. Never thought working with children would be "my thing" but as it turns out I love it! Maybe because I'm a bit ironic and don't let them "get" to me.
I can't remember my first romance but I do know that compared to those I've been reading lately it was mellow. I love millitary, bikers, cowboys, paranormal but like pretty much anything else. I read all the time, according to my husband too much even. :)
Can't wait to share some interesting books with you all!

Hello All!
My name is Lourin =) I am from Amarillo, Texas but currently am stationed in Oceanside, California until 2017. I have a husband who I married right out of high school when he joined the Marine Corps and we've been married going on 6 years now. We have a daughter who will be 2 next month and she has definitely kept us on our toes.
I'm almost done getting my degree in business management. After my husband gets out of the Marine Corps and we settle down I want to open a bakery. Reading and baking are pretty much my main hobbies =D
I've been reading for pretty much my entire life, from Little Women to Harry Potter and then went into romance and erotic romance. I'm not going to lie, Fifty Shades of Grey got me into reading more and more romance and erotic romance. After going through a miscarriage before we had our daughter I got depressed and my grandmother bought me my first e-reader and made me read FSOG. Yes you read that right my grandmother.
Now I've broaden my horizons to a variety of authors with a couple of my favorites being J.R. Ward, Laurann Dohner, Nina Levine (of course), and Kathi S. Barton.
I'm very excited about this kind of group! I love getting to talk with others about a variety of books and get new ones to read!

im wendy and im from England. I love a lot of different types of books, mainly romance of all sorts. I still follow a lot of authors that I first read in the mills and boon books, which were my first introduction to this type of story. I also like murder mystery and autobiographys. I love jigsaw puzzles and a few games on fb. I spend a lot of time following my fav authors on their websites and newsletters, also on fb just to keep up to date on what they are writing. I usually preorder as soon as links come up. my kindle is an extension of my hand it goes everywhere, I read even while waiting for a bus.my fav authors are nina (of course), cali macay, j daniels, j kenner,sylvia day,roxy Sloane, sloan harper and many more. its hard when book awards are up as many of the authors end up in the same catagories, I just have to try and spread the votes as I love them all and get hooked on each and every one as im reading them

Hey Ang!! <3 I didn't even realise Goodreads had been around that long! I love PNR too although I don't read much of it these days but I used to be all about it.

So I've been reading since I can remember. I remember my most favourite part of school holidays would be our trips to the library where I could hire like 10 books at once - I was in HEAVEN! Sweet Valley High is a series I can remember loving, and before that it was Trixie Belden. Then as I got older I progressed to Danielle Steele and then Jackie Collins. I had a few authors who were auto buys for me and who I would wait a whole YEAR to release a new book lol... Patricia Cornwell, Penny Vincenzi, Richard North Patterson to name a few. And then I discovered ebooks... and I was one of those snotty readers who refused to pay for an ebook (not even kidding! because if i was gonna spend money, I was gonna have a physical book to show for it). So I read a stack of free romance books and loved them - they were different to anything I'd ever read before. And then 50 Shades came out.... and I resisted for a long time but eventually got to the point where I HAD to see what all the fuss was about... I downloaded the sample and it ended on like chapter 8 I think it was...and that was right before he opened the door to the red room... OF COURSE I had to buy the damn book to see what was in that room! And I went from being a reader who refused to pay for an ebook to a reader who forked out $30 for my very first ebook (yes, I bought the entire trilogy straight up!). And well then I googled "books like 50 shades" and found Beautiful Disaster and Maryse's Book Blog and me and my bank balance never looked back ;)

I'm a 30 something (Ok, one month off forty lol) mum to a sixteen year old daughter (she's kind of the Mum some days ;) cause I never really grew up)... I was studying psychology when I decided to publish my first book - figured if the book bombed I could finish my degree. I live in Brisbane QLD, Australia but am looking at moving to the Gold Coast and making the most of the beautiful beach lifestyle QLD has to offer. I don't think I'll ever finish that psychology degree....

Hi Ladies!! I'm a mum 31 year old mother of 2 from sunny Brisbane in Queensland, Australia.

If I'm not working or spending time with my family - you'll find me with a book in my hands :)

My first love of books was for young adult romance - both contemporary and paranormal/fantasy but I've progressed to adult & erotic(a).

I adored 50 Shades of Grey and I credit that series to introducing me to indie authors of the erotic romance genre.

I'm a rainbows and butterflies and half glass full type of girl. I always try to look for the positives in every situation.

If you know of a messy ugly cry read that I may not have read... I need to know about it!

I'm so happy to be here ❤️❤️❤️

Hey Jodie & Bree,

If your looking for an ugly cry....

Cherie ❤️

Hi Cherie!

Hey everyone!
I'm Karen and I'm from Alabama. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for 27 years, and we have 3 children. I am a Pre-K teacher and I love it! I'm sort of addicted to reading. I mostly read contemporary romance novels. I don't really enjoy paranormal and historical romance novels. I, also, like children's books (It's the Pre-K teacher in me.). My Hubby gave me a Kindle for our anniversary a few years ago and I take it with me everywhere. I tell him all of the time that it is the best gift he has ever bought for me. He likes to joke and say it's the worst because I'm always reading and buying more books. I will pretty much read about anything; bikers, rock stars, athletes, tattoo artists, business owners, firefighters, teachers, students, etc. I will read YA,NA,adult,and erotica. As long as it is a good book, I will read it.

Hello everyone!!

My name is Brenda. I am a mother of 2.I live in New Hampshire. I love the beach and Reading!!
I started a blog for book reviews. I would love to have more friends on here and other bloggers and readers to read my blog. My favorite books are the Alpha Male MC club books and also the Paranomal shifter books!! Please add me to your friends list!

Hi all, I am Rebecca and from Lincolnshire, England. I have always read, firstly Thriller, crime, adventure type fiction, I love CLive Cussler John Grisham and Lee Child. Someone bought me PS I Love you, so I read it, and loved it and so I started to read romance, and progressed on to erotic romance. Now I never put my Kindle down. I am married and have no children. I have MS, I still work full time although it does get in the way of my reading. A kindle makes reading easier for me, although I love to visit a book shop, and do have a few favourite books on my bookshelf. I love music, cross stitch and also do my family tree.

Hey all! I am Christine, mom of 2 little boys from New Jersey. My favorite books to read are romance but I will read anything that holds my interest. My husband bought me my first Kindle Christmas of 2010 and it was love at first sight. It goes everywhere with me. Can't wait to share books with all of you.

Hi all! I am Stef from Austin TX. I always loved reading as a child but stopped reading for fun as a teen. Started back up about 4 years ago and am addicted. I work full time, have a kiddo on a competitive sports team and have been married for 16 years. So between work and driving all over the state of TX for games and practice, I try and find time to escape in to a book. Great to (virtually) meet all of y'all!

Hi I'm Janice from north west uk
love alpha male reads, run a group on goodreads and facebook, love talking books :-)

Hi everyone! My name is Rose & I am from Oregon in the US! I love HOT ALPHA MALES!!!!! And I love to read! I beta read for a number of authors & I also proofread for a few. I have a wide variety of favorite authors & genres. Lately I have been reading quite a bit of the dark romances but I try to mix it up with an MC or PNR or even a sexy contemporary romance.

I have been married for 37 years to my high school sweetheart & I have 3 grown kids, 10 grand kids & 1 great granddaughter. My husband is absolutely ecstatic that I am actually starting to make a little money doing something I love to do & has fully encouraged me in starting my proofreading business.

Great to meet everyone!!!

Hi everyone! I'm Shari and I am from Temecula, California, which is southern California. I have always loved reading and have read anything I could get my hands on. I didn't have anything else to read, so I picked up one of my mom's romance novels and have been hooked ever since. I am pretty eclectic in my reading but I read a lot of indie authors. Alpha males are a favorite. MC, tattoo, MMA and sports players are some of the many different kinds I love to read. A few months ago I finally gave in and read Fifty Shades and really enjoyed that series. I love Jamie Begley, River Savage, Suzanne Wright, Aurora Rose Reynolds, Mariana Zapata, Dahlia West, Lila Rose, and many more that I love but cannot even think of right now. Thank goodness for the kindle. I look forward to this and getting some new author recs.

Hi, my name is Soňa and I'm from Czech Republic, the country of beer. ;) So I guess it won't come as a surprise that I like wine... and beer. (Shut up!)
I'm not picky at all when it comes to books. I love almost everything. But shifters, bikers, half-breeds and gunslingers in westerns, Doms and other alpha males are my thing. :D

Hi Soña! I'm from Australia and love wine too :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE the same as you - shifters, bikers, halfbreeds and doms! I haven't tried a western, do you have a favourite to recommend?

It's so nice to meet you <3

Okay, my two favorite authors who tackled historical romance (and western) are Johanna Lindsey (my favorite: A Heart So Wild) and Ellen O'Connell (my favorite: Dancing on Coals). I think you could like them. The heroes are... *sigh* ;)

And of course... Hi, Jodie, it's nice to meet you too. :*

Thanks so much, Phoebess! I've downloaded some samples :)

Hope you'll like them, Jodie. ;)

Hi, I'm Rebecca, and I work in a Library geared towards Education Majors at UCF in Florida. I used to work for a public Library and have been doing it for 16 years almost 17. I got a job in a library because I was in there everyday checking out books and one of the ladies there said why don't you get a job and get paid to be here. Well needless to say that is exactly what I did. I have 2 children, and my husband who lol all claim that my face is always buried in a book, whether it is electronic or paper copy. I started reading romance books at 12 or 13 and have just kept going the Alpha men and their women are killing it for me, love love love them.

Hi Rebecca! I always imagined that working in a library would be the best job. Do you enjoy it?

What are some of your favourite alpha books?

Hi Gina! I LOVED Twilight and Fifty! They are the first two series that come to mind when I think about book recs. Possibly because they are the most well known, also :) What are some of your favourite books? Are you in the US?

It's nice to meet you ❤️

Did you guys all see that Fierce by Nina Levine is currently free on all platforms? It's one of my favourite books by Nina (I LOVE Scott & Harlow!) If you haven't met them, there's no better time!!!

Thank you! ❤

I love working in Libraries. Where I work now my main job is creating and maintaining displays and helping students find what they need, it is a wonderful job I have.

Well all of Nina Levine's books that is for sure, all of her men are alphas lol. Also London Casey, Amanda Heartley, Kit Rocha, has some really hot alphas as well, Jayne Ann Krentz has alphas in hers too, although not quite as alpha as Nina lets them be. Honestly there are so many books and authors I love it is hard to list them all I would be here all day
