A Little Too Far audiobook

4 Forbidden Stars!!!! Lexie Banks hasn’t had a lot of luck in love. Lexie catches her long term boyfriend cheating on her on their college break. She goes back to school, tries to forget about him. Then, at the end of summer, she runs into him. He wants her back. Lexie can’t deal with that, so she goes to the one person she can always count on. Her very best friend in the world. Her step brother Trent. While Trent is comforting Lexie... things escalate. As in, they have sex. Right before she is supposed to leave for Rome. It’s amazing, incredible, but is it wrong?The Stepbrother... “I’ve never wanted anything as much as I want you.” When Lexie gets to Rome, she doesn’t know what to think about what happened with Trent. Things are awkward between them. They want to be together, but they don’t know if it’s okay, how their parents would react. She decides to do what any good Catholic would do, confess her sins. Her priest recommends to get her mind off things, she helps their Priest in training (Alessandro Moretti) with a project. Lexie is an art history major so this project is perfect for her. She finds she can open up to Alessandro, almost like she could with Trent. He is a good listener. The more time she spends with Alessandro, the more she likes him, and she realizes how attracted she is to him...The Priest in Training... Alessandro is starting to rethink things. He has a vow of celibacy, but Lexie is the first girl who has ever tempted him. Lexie doesn’t know what to do. Trent still isn’t talking to her. As much as she’s tried not to be, she is still in love with him. But she could see herself loving Alessandro... Whats a girl to do?
 Lexie has an important decision to make. Either choice she makes, her life and anothers will change forever. “I came here today because when you finally realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” I was expecting this story to be a little more taboo/forbidden love than it was. It was a very enjoyable read. Sweet, sexy, funny, both guys were swoony! It was a fun, easy read. I found myself conflicted a lot of the book... I couldn’t decide which guy I wanted Lexie with for a while (they are both amazing and very likeable) but ultimately, I was happy with the way it ended. I'm so happy ... is getting a book I can’t wait to read it!

One Year Later...Not kidding. I first heard about this book back in August, and now over a year later, on November 18, 2014, I have FINALLY read this book. Thank you, Genie. You know, this was one of those books where you actually stop and think to yourself, "Can someone's life really be this screwed up?" Probably not as sexual-angsty like Lexi Banks' was--which was, in essence, people wanting to have sex with each, like everywhere you look. This whole book was everybody wanting to shag with everybody else EVEN THE SOON TO BE PRIEST. That's gotta tell you something. "Cut to the chase, Karen. Did you like the book or not!?"*narrows eyes* Fine. Yess, I enjoyed this book. Just like there were Wanting-To-Fucks thrown all over the place, there were also feels. Like so: And they all had to do with Alessandro, my poor baby. Anyway, so enough ranting. *clears throat* Note: this review will not be professional...hint, le profanity, mild spoilers...etcetera. You has been warned.The book starts off with Lexie Banks, who was very recently cheated on by her douchebag of an ex, who then has the nerve to want SHAG her at a Sizzler. So now, you mostly get where this is going...yes people. She's on the rebound. With her step brother, the hawt Trent. After he fucked her brains out, the awkward elephant in the room they're supposed to ignore, but fail miserably to, is dancing all over the place, and the friendship she had with Trent is basically ruined. Then she goes to Rome for some art study abroad thing, and from there things just kind of went in a straight line. Nothing interesting was going on, except Lexie making some British friend with sex problems of her own. And from here on, even though things started happening, it really didn't change the pace of the story. It was like stuck, but still expanding. One of those said expansions was Lexie confessing to a priest that she had mind blowing sex with her step brother, and in order to atone for her "sin," she is sent over to Reverend Moretti, who is supposed to make her do some sort of project. And said Reverend turns out to be...YES, ALESSANDRO And...then it begins.The lusting after a soon-to-be-priest. Other than my beloved Alessandro, the whole story just kind of revolved around Lexi not knowing what the hell she wanted, or what she wanted to do, or who she wanted to do it with. The only thing that saved this story from irritating me was the writing. Oh god, dat writing tho. Desrochers has a beautiful style of writing, very descriptive, and hilarious. Lexie, tho I wanted to throttle her sometimes, is a very down-to-earth character who realizes that the world doesn't revolve around her. She isn't a TOTAL mindless idiot, and knows that the choices she makes affects those around, and I really liked that about her. Even though I wanted to strangle her with her hair and toss her into a river for leading my poor baby on, at the end she had her epiphany, and made her ultimate decision.4.5 delicious stars for this baby. I enjoyed it, deeply, and definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a light, funny, hot and sexy read.Toodles, I'm off to read Alessandro's story.Fuck Trent. UPDATE 8/16/2013So I heard there was an excerpt online, and was able to read the first chapter. When I was done, I just sat there like: Now I really want this book. But I have to wait till whenever this book decides to get published. ~~~~~A Little Too Far....Sex with step-brother... And then wanting to have sex with a soon-to-be priest... ... This is certainly different. I think I will read this simply because its..well...fucking different. So I want this book. Like, now would be nice. And one more thing...

Wow, I am so happy to give the book 5 ★, it was an awesome read! ❥I didn't have high expectations for the book, because last time everybody loved the story I hated it. Though this story sounded good and I thought I will give it a try, and I am happy I did, because the book turned out to be really good. ❥I loved the story, it was really original and unexpected in a lot of ways. ~Two days before leaving to Rome Lexie sleeps with her step-brother/ best-friend. Being Catholic, she goes to church to confess her sins, which leads her to run into to-be priest Alessandro. Now she is torn in two...~ ❥It was 'kinda' love triangle, because Lexie was torn between two, however they weren't really competing with each other. It was more like Lexies struggle to figure out what she wants and if she can have it.❥I am usually frustrated when heroine can't choose or don't know how to choose and then jumps from one guy to another, it wasn't the case here. Firstly, it wasn't an easy or obvious choice, because she was ocean away from Trent who is her step-brother and Alessandro who was deacon. Therefore I didn't get annoyed with Lexie once. ❥I really liked Lexie, she was an awesome heroine. All the time going to church and confessing of using Lords name in vain (Ohh God!) and shouting in the church "Holy shit!" It was so funny! ❥I did laugh a lot, the whole relationships with to-be priest were so entertaining, (view spoiler)[like the scene in the erotic museum (hide spoiler)]. ❥However I also liked their serious heart-to-heart talks, and the sweet moments they shared. Damn, I feel like I have to find a hot priest for myself too, something between Alessandro and Soren ;D❥I am not really fan of art or neither I am really religious, though the themes in the book didn't bother me at all, and I actually found out a lot of new things I didn't know.❥AND the guys, ahhh I really love them both. Trent was just so sweet and sexy, and Alessandro was so wise and tempting. I liked that they both were forbidden in different way though. Step-brother and to-be priest, not exactly simple choice. I enjoyed the conflict she was having in her head.❥It was sexy! The mind-blowing sex with Trent and sweet romance with Alessandro. ❥In the end I was happy with her choice, but honestly I liked them both so much that I wouldn't have minded either way. Though I want HEA for all of them^^❥Lastly, I really enjoyed the book. It really felt like a breath of fresh air and I do recommend it to others who are looking for something original, different, not too serious and don't mind 'kinda' love triangles.

Really enjoyed this book. Taboo subject matter but handled deftly. Love the cover. The characters are relatable. Definitely recommend!

While reading "A Little Too Far," I had the privilege of being a part of an online "Reading/Discussion Group" with a bunch of spicy gals who share a passion for reading. After 10% in, we were all chatting away and a little over eager to see were Lexie's emotional journey would take us.This addictive storyline transported us into the heroine's world of Lexie Banks. A taboo tale where she battles her feelings between two leading men: her step-brother, Trent Sorenson and her confidant, the Reverend Alessandro Moretti. Our group felt an instant connection to these likeable characters! We weren't sure who to root for, but we knew that this was quite possibly the craziest love triangle out there. And the best part was: there were many monumental, touching moments that blew us away! We laughed, we yelled, we ranted, we raved...and we had so much fun reading this entertaining story of forbidden love. With a cherry on top, we got a HEA and a sneak peek at book 2! *Giddy & Clapping*A special thanks to the author, Lisa Desrochers, for writing this fabulous book that was deliciously angsty and 100% rave-worthy! My Rating: 5+++ Stars!P.S. A final shout out to the women of "The Sinners Group Read" who shared this crazy reading adventure with me! You gals gave me valuable insights and heightened my overall reading experience. Thank You!!!

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways”That is what popped immediately into my head when I sat down to write the review for A LITTLE TOO FAR by—until recently—Lisa Desrochers, an unknown author to me. What’s really funny about this one, is I participated in the first cover reveal and I wasn’t blown over by it. In fact, I’d seen the old cover on several other books. The second cover—this one—not so much either. If I’m going to be honest neither cover does this book justice. The book is simply that good.When I initially read the blurb, I thought, oh dear, sounds like a love triangle, which I’m not particularly fond of. And an almost priest? I’m Catholic so that’s bordering on sacrilegious, n’est ce pas? Anyway, I relegated this book to one I doubted I’d be picking up to read, despite the fact that I was hunting for another new adult romance to read. Okay, truth is I’m always on the hunt.Then Avon put the first couple chapters up as a sneak peek. I was curious and since I’d promoted it on the blog, decided to check it out. I read everything posted and wanted more—hell, I wanted the rest. Lucky for me the egalley came up and I snatched it up. I read it in one day. One day. The only thing I did get done that day was my word count and I managed to get my son off to school, back home, fed but barely got him into bed that night.I’m going to assume you read the blurb so I won’t rehash the plot, I’ll just get right down to why I loved this book so much without giving away any major spoilers.Lexie is a fantastic and completely believable heroine. She acts and reacts in ways I thought were typical and consistent with her circumstances and character. After she has sex with Trent—her stepbrother—she is racked with guilt, shame while at the same time wanting him like she’s never wanted anyone before. Even her cheating ex-boyfriend, Rick, who she dated for three years.Trent isn’t only just her stepbrother, but her best friend and confidante. She loves him and she loves him. I have to say, I was a bit torn up that she was going to leave him for nine months to go to Italy because Trent is beyond wonderful. He’s sexy, he’s hot. But he’s also torn about what happened between them but you can just tell how much she means to him. He’s an up-and-up good guy and the love scenes between them are scorching hot. Wow!So here’s where I thought the author would lose me, the almost-priest Alessandro. I was prepared to resent his presence in Lexie’s life. I didn’t. And you know why? Because he’s frickin’ wonderful and it’s easy to see why Lexie is attracted to him and what draws her to him. An aside: Now here’s a guy with some serious baggage. But much like the whole thing with Trent, Lexie finds herself mired in another relationship where the guy is or should be off limits to her. I wonder if she sees this pattern?And to further complicate things, Sam, her best friend from home starts dating Trent while Lexie is in Rome. Poor Lexie has to listen to her plot on how she’s going to get him and how hot he is. It drives her nut. Worse still is when she goes home for Christmas and sees the two together.If you’re like me, you decide—after meeting both Trent and Alessandro—who you want her to end up with. Well I got my wish and the ending was the cincher for me. Talk about turn-me-to-mush and make-me-swoon romantic. The hero pulls out all the stops and left me blubbering. And that love scene? Another swoon. Absolutely hot and fantastic.So as you can imagine, I absolutely canNOT wait to read the next book (it's about another couple so don't worry, we get an HEA) A LITTLE TOO MUCH, which is coming out in November. Lucky us. :)Reviewed by BeverleyOriginally posted on The Season www.TheSeasonForRomance.com
