Alexa Series, Volume 1 by T.R Cupak is an intense, romantic read with twists that you don’t see coming, that I absolutely loved. With double the reading, featuring Alexa Crushed and Alexa Loved, this series will have you turning the pages as quickly as you can to get to the end but at the same wishing it would never end.
Alexa Crushed
Alexa Morgan had always been one of the boys growing up, even her best friend was a boy. She wasn’t interested in boys at all, not in that way, until she moved and she met her hot older neighbour.
Best friend, Devin Miller is great to hang out with, until days after her 16th birthday when he kisses her and confesses his love. That’s not what Alexa wants and tells him so. Devin leaves, heartbroken and she doesn’t hear from him.
Boy next door, Ethan Gage is four years older than her and a magnet for girls. She crushes on him for years. When she turns 18, he let’s her know that he wants her and always has, he just wanted to wait until she was old enough.
When an earthquake hits, Alexa’s life changes forever. Ethan is there for her and just as things start to heat up between them Devin comes back into her life. Both want to help her and comfort her.
After spending the night together, Ethan leaves town without saying a word, leaving Devin to pick up the pieces expecting nothing in return. Will Alexa see Devin as more than a friend? Will she ever hear from Ethan again?
I don’t want to say too much. But what I will say is, Alexa Crushed took me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. It’s filled with love, secrets and twists that you don’t see coming.
Alexa Loved
Alexa Loved follows on from where we left off in Alexa Crushed.
Ethan is back and this time he is prepared to fight for the girl who has his heart. He opens up to her and explains why he left all those months ago.
Alexa sees Ethan again and all the feelings she had months ago come flooding back. Can she love one man and have feelings for another?
Devin loves Alexa with everything that he is and knows that she loves him too. But when he sees Ethan with her and she keeps that from him, Devin wonders if Alexa is truly his.
There are POV’s from Ethan and Devin in this part so we get to see how they are feeling. We also get to know a little more about the other characters. We get to see that Sebastian has a softer side while he is looking out for Alexa.
I absolutely loved the Alexa Series. It’s not very often that a book has me pulled in so tight that I stay up till the early hours to get it finished. It pulled so many emotions from me and had me in tears at a few different points.
It’s safe to say that T.R Cupak is now one of my favourite authors and I look forward to reading more from this author.
This was a book I loved to hate. I loved it so much that I hated the way it ended. I will always remember this book with mixed feeling because it brought so many personal memories out that I didn’t want to face.
