About Me:

I am a wife, mom of 3 teenagers, and I love to read. I do not limit myself to one genre, but do have some that I prefer. Depending on my mood I will choose a book from RomCom, Romance, Dark Romance, Suspense/Thriller, YA, NA, and SciFi/Fantasy. I would love to share the books I read with you so that you may enjoy them too!

It takes so much courage for an author to put their work out there for the public to read. Then to subject themselves to the opinions of those readers. You will not find disrespectful reviews on this page. Even if a book is not for me, it may be something someone else enjoys. I will not belittle or be nasty to any author, regardless of subject matter. No bashing of person or writing will be tolerated.

My goal by creating this blog is to help authors get their books noticed and to help introduce readers to authors they may not usually read.

Also, please note that any links contained on this website I DO NOT profit from. I do receive advanced reader copies of some of the books I review, but I promise to never let that sway my true feelings on the piece of work.

I am willing to help out as many authors/PAs/promotion companies as I can, but please know that my calendar doesn't always allow for a certain time frame. Please feel free to contact me and I can see if I am able to help. This is a one woman show ;) You can visit my Facebook Page (Like/Follow) at https://www.facebook.com/Reading-Escape-Reviews-279044492594921/ and my email is readingescapereviews@gmail.com

Thank you for stopping by! Oh, and be sure to get on the 2017 Goodreads Reading Challenge. I will be asking periodically for your actual and goal number!

The List by Alice Ward

(Free on KindleUnlimited 4/28/17)

Synopsis:

The List - a top secret database of New York’s hottest women. As one of four entrepreneur billionaires who devised it, I live by its rules.

The formula is simple. If any of us sleeps with a girl, we are obligated to add her name, address, and kinks to The List. When another one of us has an urge for a certain type of woman, we simply pull up the list, make a selection, and find our prey.

It sounds like fun, doesn’t it? Well, for years it has been.

But now something’s different.

Riley Carson is different. The soft brunette has woken a part of me I didn’t know existed, a part of me that could be dangerous.

I don’t do girlfriends, but for the first time in my life, I’ve met a woman I don’t want to put on The List. A woman I want to keep to myself.

I have new desires. New cravings. New problems, like betrayal, or even worse, exposure.

Our wealth and reputations are on the line. A scandal would ruin us all.

My Review: 


As the story begins we are introduced to Riley Carson and her roommate Ann-Marie.  They are looking to for a fun night out and have scored an invite to Enigma.  Enigma is a club that people only talk about, but have never actually been there themselves.  While at Enigma Riley meets the billionaire realtor Xavier Fields.  Xavier has a secret with the other 3 partners of Enigma, The List.  If anyone find out about The List it will be the undoing of them all.  Xavier never stays with one woman long enough for it to matter, until Riley.  Riley's trouble is that she is still mending a broken heart and falls in love way to easy.  Can Xavier abide by the stipulations of The List?  What happens when Riley finds out Xavier's secret?

Alice Ward does a wonderful job of putting us right into the middle of Xavier and Riley's world.  The story is very detailed and the romance scenes are hot.  My reason for four starts instead of five is that I was expecting a little something different with the story.  I was expecting more controversy with the list and it just didn't happen.  The writing was wonderful, I just needed a bit more twist to the plot.
