I didn’t set out to lie to her and I didn’t expect to meet her.;
But one day she shows up at my house, and guess what?
She wasn’t the only one being catfished for two years.
Because she’s not who she said she was either.

This book is JA Huss at her finest! What an epic adventure this was. Full of sexy romps and twisty action Alonzo doesn’t disappoint! I love getting glimpses of old characters while getting to know the Dumas family a little better. Alonzo and Tara had me swooning and laughing out loud at every turn! I need my own tatted up dirty talker! This was one of those books that I couldn’t put down but regretted reading so fast! I could spend countless hours in Key West with these characters! I highly recommend taking the plunge with Alonzo and Tara!
Long distance phone friends Tara and Lonnie spend two years playing cat(fish) and mouse, as the identity behind the identity weaves a very tangled web that’s bound to snag, in spectacular fashion. The small world gets smaller as three friends from Colorado road trip to Florida. Tara and Alonzo find their live, in person connection even more intense, and handholding on the beach is so romantic(!) Yes, there are a lot of issues to unpack, but this couple makes the pain worth the gain. Loved it!
Holy smokes the hotness level in this book was scorching!!! As soon as this book hit my tablet I was consumed by these characters, by this story and the banter. Alonso and Tara were nothing short of freaking incredible and their story was filled with lies, secrets, off the charts chemistry and so much sexiness!! I love that we get to revisit all the characters from the previous books and that they all entwine together. We are finally getting answers to the questions that have been running through our heads and I’m so ready for more of Dumas and Boston families!
Wow, I was not expecting Alonzo’s story to be THAT! I pretty much expected there to be alot of secrets and lies between him and Tara, because the blurb tells us that right off the bat and yes, there are lots of those. But then there’s SO MUCH MORE! Julie is the queen of the twists and turns and hitting the reader with things out of left field, and yeah, this story has all of that!
So Alonzo is quite the dirty talking, hot as fuck tatted up fisherman!! But he’s been catfishing Tara for the past two years of their relationship, because while he is totally enjoying the sexy phone fuck sessions, he doesn’t really know this girl, and she definitely can’t know the real Alonzo, and all the secrets he has.
Tara was awesome. I loved the role playing she did with “Lonnie” during their sessions. She presents to Alonzo as this sexy librarian, but she’s hiding pretty much her whole life from him. So what happens when Tara shows up at Alonzo’s house and all the secrets they’ve both been keeping get blown wide open? A wild and crazy story, that’s what happens!
We get to see the whole Dumas clan (minus Emma) and a couple of Boston brothers, and some cameos that made me squeal like a love stick teenager! I’ve been missing those guys!!
This book also opens things up for stories to come, and I can’t even contain my excitement! I am also still amazed at the turns this story took. I always marvel at how Julie comes up with these complex, intriguing stories that I can’t get enough of. And how so many of her various series end up converging on each other and get intertwined. The next book is going to introduce us to a whole bunch of new characters, but take readers back to one of my most favorite “world’s” of Julie’s. I am so ready!!
Alonzo
Alonzo is the next book in the Bossy Brothers series (although it’s a sidestep) as we fall into the world of the Dumas brothers and boy, is it a great place to be. This story is made even more incredible with the arrival of some faces we already know and love, who bring a whole new level of chaos to Key West.
We start with Alonzo Dumas, the adorably gorgeous, dirty as all hell, tatted up fisherman – SLASH – safe, charming, full on sex talking accountant, Lonnie….(there’s a lot going on here!) and Tara, the straight laced, pencil skirt wearing, horny librarian – SLASH- Phoebe the thrift store PI in hiding. (See! A lot going on!)
Lonnie and Tara have secrets. Big ones. One of them being that they are lying to each other about who they really are. Circumstances throw them together and suddenly they need to work out who they really are to each other and more importantly to themselves. Hard when there are literal dangers around every corner and boy does Alonzo love to do beautifully dangerous things!
These two incredibly well written characters are crazy and complex and for the whole book, I wasn’t even sure what they were going to do next. Suffice to say, I devoured every page.
This book was an absolute joy to read. It was funny, dark, layered, punchy, romantic, panty melting and more than anything, it made me smile! So hard.
I cannot wait to see what Tony’s story brings for him and for the rest of the Bossy/Dumas clans!
Phone sex has never been hotter… Underneath the sexy times though Tara and Alonzo are rethinking this long distance relationship. But just when they start to trust each other It all falls apart and when they meet nothing is as it seemed. So much happens in this story. A couple of Boston brothers show up. Tara’s best friend has secrets. We even get another clue as to what is going down with The Way, sort of. For those of us who have been reading JA Huss for a long while the tie-ins threaten to make my mind explode. For the new comers this is also a sweet sexy romance, with bite! Enjoy.
Gosh, I can’t even with this guy. Is Alonzo a super cocky guy? Oh heck yes he is. He’ll be the first one to tell you that he is a hot mofo and that he could pretty much have any woman he wants. However, there is a depth to him that I found absolutely surprising and wonderfully endearing. Tara is probably every guys dream. She is confident, sexy, smart and not afraid of grabbing what she wants. But I suppose sometimes that’s easy when you aren’t face to face. Who is catfishing who? What is each hiding from the other? Every paragraph JA Huss wrote leads us to another mystery revolving the Dumas family, the Boston family AND the Company (or the Way) as we know them. Some mysteries are solved, others are brought to the forefront. The way JA Huss writes these stories weaving past stories and characters so seamlessly is an absolutely amazing feat indeed and I look forward to so much more.
Alonzo and Tara have been in a dirty talking relationship for two years…but that isn’t the only thing that is dirty! They both haven’t been truthful with each other which all starts to come to a head. This is a beautifully woven masterpiece which is one of the things I love about this author. It’s a puzzle that she makes fit!
YES! I enjoyed everything in this story! Alonzo sure knows how to talk and things sure move quickly lol. I can definitely tell this is a branch off from the “J” bossy brothers series. I love the mystery behind Alonzo and Tara. This story added something extra for the Bossy Brothers series as a whole. Things are starting to be revealed. But there is ease of reading this one without the first 4 books. Ohhh, the ending, it was so sweet, but I also want more lol! I don’t even know who is my fave at this point bc these men love so hard. So exciting and I can’t wait!
I received this book at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
JA HUSS HAS DONE IT AGAIN.
Another 5 Star read that will have you glued too your kindle and loving Lonnie & Tara. I absolutely love Lonnie and Tara’s story and their secrets WOW. Lonnie and Tara had me hooked from page one and I absolutely love seeing Vann Vaughn and of course the Bossy Brothers. It’s no surprise that I’m a HUGE FAN of all JA’s work and of course I knew I would absolutely FLOVE this book. JA is an author that you are guaranteed a good mind f*ck, amazing characters and a story you will never forget. Truly an amazing read that everyone must truly one click.
I thought this book will leave “The Bossy Brothers” behind and focus on the Dumas clan. But I was in for a surprise!
Lonnie is such a sweet guy but filthy at the same time so of course he found a siren to match his appetite but kind heart. Contrary to his appearances he is actually the sweetest guy. But at the same time I loved how ballsy he got with Johnny when needed. And his annoyance and “don’t give a damn attitude” with Jesse was so funny. And oh boy, Jesse grows in my eye with every book even as a secondary character. He is just so unfazed by anything but so wise 🙂
Slowly but surely we are getting pieces of the bigger picture when it comes to the Dumas family. And I feel that there are more skeletons in the closet. Next is Tony’s story and I am wondering if some other feisty character from this book will make an appearance 😉
I just loved this book Alonzo and Tara are made for each other. Each has their secrets and live miles apart from one another but they have a connection and the phone sex is HOT. And when they meet WOW.
So many twists in this story and so many funny things. The coming together of so many families and the upcoming book will be epic.This book is so well written and links up to other wonderful books and fabulous characters in the other series that Julie has written and I am so looking forward to reading about them again in the next book. Things are really going to get better and I just cant wait x

Tara & Lonnie are my favorites so far!
I Love J.A. Huss’s Books! I Will Always Buy Them! 😀
Oh Wow…this book gives all the feels! Buckle up and get ready for this wild and fun ride! Alonzo Dumas is Jesse Boston’s brother in law. He runs Dumas Deep Sea Fishing but that’s not his only job. On the side, Alonzo might also be considered a catfisher as he started chatting with a Tara Tanner two years ago under a completely different profile. It’s okay though since they live far far away from each other so she won’t ever find out…right? Well, that is until she goes to Florida and she isn’t exactly who she said she was either!!! What will Alonzo do and how will he explain his deception? What about her real reasons for showing up? “We’re separated by two thousand miles and yet…we’re not. She’s here with me, and I’m there with her, and we’re together, even though we’re not.” This is a romantic comedy/suspense that can be read as a stand-alone however, there are intersecting characters from other books. Who doesn’t love a dirty-talking fisherman. I don’t think I smiled so much reading a book! Their banter together is so amusing and all the twists revealed left my jaw on the floor! This book had a little of everything from action, suspense, secrets to comedy and hot times. Are you ready for their new normal? Told in dual POV
