Fahrenheit by Alex Rosa is a story reminiscent of the movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, a movie I loved. While Fahrenheit might remind me of that particular movie, the book is much steamier.

Lauren in an editor at a popular women’s magazine and wants a promotion to journalist. In order to win her promotion she has to write a story of the hidden underworld of sex in Los Angeles. Out to ...more

***I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the author.***

I was a big fan of Alex Rosa's previous book, Tryst, so when I saw her release this book, I knew I'd have to get my hands on it.

This book did not disappoint. I already knew I was going to LOVE Nate and I totally did. I also LOVED Lauren's character...she was SO relateable (I feel like this is a trend for me in regards to Alex Rosa, she writes incredibly relateable characters!).

I loved the aspect of Fahrenheit. Probably o ...more

Received this book from the author for an honest review. Great characters, great storyline, well-written, steamy, with a little romance and a little humor. I love Batman/Nate's character and once coupled with Lauren the sparks flew. I found myself at times feeling bad for Garrett and I look forward to reading more about him later. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more. ...more

Lauren Michaels is a copy editor at Frenzy magazine but she wants to be a journalist. Her boss is content with Lauren’s work but has given her an assignment that Lauren hopes will lead to a full time writing position. The assignment she was given is to investigate sex clubs and the inner workings of the mysterious and sensual sex clubs in LA. Lauren is uncomfortable with this but accepts the challenge because she wants that job.

While Lauren is nervously exploring a sex shop, she is approached by Lauren Michaels is a copy editor at Frenzy magazine but she wants to be a journalist. Her boss is content with Lauren’s work but has given her an assignment that Lauren hopes will lead to a full time writing position. The assignment she was given is to investigate sex clubs and the inner workings of the mysterious and sensual sex clubs in LA. Lauren is uncomfortable with this but accepts the challenge because she wants that job.

While Lauren is nervously exploring a sex shop, she is approached by the gorgeous Nathan Sanders. He starts flirting with her and she tries to hide her embarrassment in being in unfamiliar territory. He offers to take her to the exclusive sex club that people secretly talk about…Fahrenheit. Feeling completely out of her element, Lauren decides to take Nathan up on his offer even though they just met.

Once they are inside Fahrenheit, Lauren is clearly overwhelmed and confesses that she is writing a story about Fahrenheit. Nathan confesses that he knew she was inexperienced but wanted to see what she would do. They decide to come up with a mutually beneficial arrangement: A no-strings-attached sexual relationship where Lauren agrees to let Nathan teach her a few things and he will help her with research. This arrangement seems rather simple…but is it really?

I think this story did a good job of showing how Lauren really pushed her own personal boundaries and grew as a character. Yes, this story centered on sex, but through those experiences, she learned more about herself, became more confident and learned that she needs to go after something if she really wants it.

The sex scenes were a bit tamer than I expected considering the setting of the story but I'm content with that. I would have loved to hear more of the story from Nathan’s view and hope that we get to see that in the future. This is the second book I've read by Alex Rosa and she did not disappoint. I find her writing style to be very entertaining, emotional, funny when it needs to be and real. Looking forward to Garrett’s story next! ...more

This book was so fun reading. I had a smile on my face a lot. It's a romance, with a erotic and naughty twist. Because how many romance novels starts in a sex shop?
Alex's writing is as good as ever in this book as well. Her dialog and thoughts of the main character is smart and hilarious.

Often in a romance it builds up with feelings and ends up in sex, but here it was the other way around. There is some pretty juicy sex scenes in this book, that will make you all hot and bothered. And that is ...more

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book! I was hooked from the very first chapter. I was so thrown by the Nate twist, I sure didn't see his profession coming at all.

Alex's writing style is great. I felt she developed both characters well. Their contrast was what kept me enthralled. Laren's naiveté played well against Nate's more experienced style of life.

I could not put this book down and I look forward to Alex's next book in this series! ...more
