~Synopsis ~
Alexia Keith, self-proclaimed nerd and potty-mouth, is a beautiful, scotch drinking, complicated mess. In other words, she has issues, and the last thing she needs is her boss, Jaxson Ryan, CEO of Ryan Acquisitions, messing with her issues. She finds him hard and even harder to resist, but she must, he’s off limits.
One of New York’s most eligible bachelors, Jaxson Ryan, is the poster boy for the tall, hot, conceited self-proclaimed manwhores. The only thing he wants is Ryan’s, Risk Manager, Alexia Keith.
What happens, when a man with a bedpost-notching waiting list, a man who thought he had it all, wants the only woman he can’t have?
The Layer Series is written for adults, by an adult (this is questionable). In contains adult language, and adults doing adult stuff like, hot sex and drinking scotch. It’s written for those who like to laugh and maybe shed a tear or two.

Hi. My name is Alexia, and this is my story. I’m not your typical girl--so this isn’t your typical…virginal girl goes to college, (or whatever) meets and falls for the hot, alpha, kinky, bazillionaire. Then after a lot of hot sex (one hundred thousand orgasms) they get married and live happily-ever-after, in a mansion with his and her playrooms.
Now don’t get your grannie panties in a twist. All’s not lost. There is a hot guy “lots of hot guys. And my guy—yeah, he’s hot. He takes my breath away. And the sex…Oh my! But the happily-ever-after part, well…
So, girlfriends (and guys) if you want to laugh out-loud—say ‘what the’ a lot, and maybe shed a tear or two. Then come along for the ride. Because, OMG what a ride it is!
The Girl
Alexia Keith has issues and the last thing see needs is the CEO of Ryan Acquisitions messing with her issues.
Her boss is hot. Okay he's real hot but he's off limits. She can look but she must never touch—never.
But like all things in her life it becomes complicated. She finds Mr. Ryan 'hard'…and even harder to resist.
The Guy
Jaxson Ryan thinks he has everything—looks, wealth, job,—the junk.
But that everything turns into a not so everything the minute he meets her—Alexia Keith.
His new risk manager takes his breath away, ties up his tongue and make his…
He wants her and is going to have her—no one has ever turned down this CEO—ever.
It will be a piece of cake—a walk in the park. Right?

Alexia and Jaxson's story continues in More Layers.
What will happen? Will they get their Happily-Ever-After?
Life is funny. I’m not referring to the "ha, ha, ha" kind of funny. I’m referring to the “who would have guessed?” or the “no freakin' way” kind of funny. No way would I have ever believed that I would get a second chance at love. And no friggin' way would I have ever guessed it would begin in Vegas. I mean, come on girlfriend!
Vegas is the place where you lose your mind, your inhibitions, and your next month’s rent. Vegas isn’t where you go to learn truths, rethink your choices, and reconnect.
But then again, this is me we are talking about. So welcome to Vegas or…as they say—Viva Las Vegas, baby.

Beneath Layers (Layers #3)

Series: Layers
Release Date: February 24, 2015
~ Synopsis ~
The third book in the Layers Series. The end to Jaxson's and Alexia's story.
Alexia Grant was so close to her happily-ever-after, all she had to do is reach out a grab it…
Jaxson Ryan was so close to having the woman, the life, he’s always wanted. But that was before…
Alexia—The broken part of me—is me. It’s my blood, my flesh, and my bones. It’s cancer in remission, not to be disturbed. If it is, it will metastasize, it will kill me.
Jaxson Ryan—We’d gone beyond, over the hurdle that had pushed us apart so many times before. I was close to touching that place she hides from everyone, even herself, but now…
Alexia Grant
I was that kind of girl. You know the one. I used my imagination to escape, not to create. I dreamt in black, lived in white. I wore days-of-the-week undies, changing them precisely at one minute past midnight. I read Exploring Microbiology and Fundamentals of Finance, for fun. Everyday things captivated me. Like adding, multiplying, and dividing, the polka dots on my tights.
But no one saw that girl, the real me. Never going pass the façade, under the layers. I wasn’t the princess; they’d made me out to be. Peas under my mattress—bring them on. Sure, I had the things, all the fluff, and stuff. None of it mattered, none of it real.
I craved the real—the truth. I searched, I waited, but it never came. Sad and angry came; leaving this life I called, bitch. She was a hard one; we didn’t get along, at first. But I played her games; we made progress, then peace. She laid out her rules; I accept her limitations and boundaries. We were good, I made a plan, had a direction. I was surviving, making my way, minding my own business. But she wasn’t satisfied—blowing it all to hell. She wanted more, the whole chimichanga. That interfering bitch!

*4 Stars*

Let me tell the immediate thing I loved about this book...Jax & Alexia already know each other. Seems strange that that would be the best thing but it was. There are books when I just want to skip to the good parts and leave out how they met.
Alexia is the risk manager for Jaxson Ryan's company and he has wanted her from the day he hired her. Alexia has made Jax off limits. She certainly doesn't deny his is hot as all hell. I mean truly, he is so very swoon worthy.
We embark on this journey of Jax & Alexia's "off limits" relationship until it's not. And when they finally admit their feelings it turns into one STEAMY story! Be prepared ladies.. it's HOT! Some of the scenes are SO hot even I was blushing (and that is unusual for me!)
I also found this series to have a lot of humor. Jules was constantly cracking me up and I loved the friendship that Jules & Alexia had. I also found there was never a dull moment with Jax & Alexia. They were always bickering but making it up in steamy ways.
The first book, Layers, leaves off in a pretty dramatic way and I had to get into book 2, More Layers, right away. It's 2 years after book 1 when Jules & Nick get married in Vegas. Alexia & Jax are reunited again but Alexia has a BIG secret. I have to say I wasn't AS big of fan of book 2 as I was book 1. I can't really put my finger on why but I just loved the original banter between Alexia & Jax in Layers more. Beneath Layers is the perfect ending for Alexia & Jax. Of course it had it's drama but I felt that Alexia & Jax story was truly complete at the end.
The great thing about this story is that it is unique. It's not often that you can find a series that can pull all the emotions. At times I was sad, shocked, mad, laughing my butt off.. I love that in a book and the Layers Series was able to do that. If you want something different, saucy, and romantic at the same time this series is for YOU. But be warned... this is a HOT HOT HOT series! Not safe for work!! ;)
