ALEXANDRA NORTH...


... is an Indie author of romance and erotic romance. She lives in the rambling lush hills of Yorkshire, UK with her swoon-worthy husband, two children and two guinea pigs Barry & Boris. She admits quite openly to being 'a hopeless romantic with a dirty mind' and when not writing, works as a Graphic Designer & Illustrator, something she's done for the past 20 years.

Other 'broom up the bottom' jobs include; mum's taxi, cooking and cleaning, cake baking, family therapist and complaints letter writer, for all and sundry - she's the one who won't take no for an answer! In between everyday life's tasks, she tries to lose herself with her secret lover 'monsieur kindle'- sssh... don't tell Mr. North.

Writing was always a hobby and took a back seat to University, work, parenthood and unfortunately later, chronic long-term illness. One day she woke and thought 'life's too short - I'm going to finish that blummin book!' 

She now devotes her time to writing love stories full of humour and naughtiness. When she isn't manically typing away or trying to be the model wife and mum, Alexandra can be found shoe shopping (shoes are her weakness), cosying up with back-to-back TV series and enjoying her very own Sebastian Silver.

 My Thoughts: 

The One Awakened had me turning pages and sitting on the edge of my seat in anticipation. I knew from the beginning that this would be a scorcher! ;-)

I can not focus on my words as I am still reeling from the ending. Yes, it is a bit of a cliff hanger. :-( Now I am contemplating begging Alexandra North to let me know what happens next. She must have the next book written right??? I need more! I feel like a drug addict (what I assume it must be like) that needs their next fix!

Oh boy, this book had friendship, heat, sex, seduction, a cute little man named Fin :-), jealousy, angst, love, drama, did I mention the fantastic action of the horizontal variety?, secrets, lies, agendas, and a group of close friends, all combined together equaling pure awesomeness.

The two main characters Sebastian and Lucia meet while they are at college. Most of the story takes place ten years later. Lucia and Sebastian had an instant connection when they met but... Sebastian didn't act on it and his friend Niall swooped in instead. Years and one child later, Niall's interest diminishes, until Lucia is ready to start dating again. It seems that he is not the only one upset by the news of her dating. :-) Sebastian gets pretty jealous when he hears even though he is the one to blame for his lost years with her. 

I liked Lucia and I loved Fin. He was adorable. Sebastian was very hot but sometimes I didn't care for him. Then other times he was sweet and I melted right along with Lucia.

If you like your books really hot and like the friends become lovers storyline, You want to read this one SOON!

I received an ecopy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. This book could easily be used as a fire starter. It will ignite you in no time flat. It was really hot and engaging. I really can't wait to read more from this author.
