She is, quite simply, the most perfect woman I’ve ever had the pleasure to never meet.
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.

4.5 Stars
Tara Tanner has a dirty little secret, and his name is Lonnie Derringer. She and the dirty talking accountant have been involved for the better part of two years… but have never met in person. But while phone sex with Lonnie is better than any of the real men she has ever been with, when Lonnie starts acting weird, Tara starts to wonder just how well she really knows her fantasy man…
Alonzo Dumas is definitely NOT a boring accountant. And even though he has been essentially catfishing Tara for the entire span of their relationship, he has still been more truthful with her than anyone else in his entire life… and he just might want a future with the woman of his dreams… who knows next to nothing about him…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alonzo was a no-holds-barred phone sex masterpiece that will leave you completely satisfied… and yet desperate for more. Tara and Alonzo have an ultra sexy and steaming hot relationship, despite having never met in person. But when the façade of their identities starts to crumble, will the connection they share suffer as a consequence of their not-so-honest beginning…
Tara is living a whole new life since she saw something she shouldn’t have, and eventually ended up in the the witness protection program. Life in Fort Collins (woot! FOCO shout out!!!) may be quiet and a little boring, but her sex life is thriving. Until the lie that Tara didn’t know she was living is exposed, and she decides to confront the man who has been lying to her for the past two years…
Alonzo is a hunky fisherman who knows his way around phone sex… and false relationships. When he and Tara first started talking, he only planned on keeping his subterfuge going for a short while, but the more time he spends with Tara, the harder it is for him to move on. And when he finally comes clean, Tara surprises him by showing up when he least expects her… and as a result, she just might possibly bring his entire extracurricular activities screeching to a halt…
Phew, this was one incredibly sexy book! Tara and Alonzo’s phone sex relationship turns into even-hotter-in-real-life encounters that can only take a back seat to the truth of just what the Dumas men are up to… and who they are involved with.
I couldn’t get enough of the unconventional relationship between Tara and Alonzo! They were both incredibly interesting characters who were both harboring secrets and as a result, not really living their lives to their fullest. And just when their scorching hot relationship seems that it will dominate the storyline, the plot thickens, and Alonzo’s life in Key West will take everyone for a wild and complicated ride…
Alonzo is a part of the Bossy Brothers series, but can be read as a complete standalone.
I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.

I just recently “discovered” this author and I have to say I feel like I’ve been missing something wonderful. This is my first Bossy Brothers story and will not be my last. Alonzo and Tara we’re beyond awesome together. The entire story flowed so well and the dialogue was so fun. Alonzo is one dirty talker!! The story was everything I needed/wanted. Oh and the chemistry?! I think I have second degree burns, LOL. Fantastic story.
I have to admit, I hadn’t read any of the other previous Bossy Brother’s books before diving into this one. I was attracted by the blurb and just wanted to see where the story was going to go.
Well, to say I was surprised by the turns it took, is putting it mildly.
Alonzo Dumas is a hot, tatted fisherman pretending to be someone he isn’t, he’s in a two-year relationship with a girl he’s never met IRL. He knows what she looks like, how she sounds. He knows her likes and dislikes. He knows how to pleasure her, yet he’s never laid a single finger on her body. That’s all about to change.
Tori liked her sexts, and facetime chats with Lonnie Derringer, the nerdy accountant she met online. They hit it off instantly, and now two years later things are about to get complicated.
Alonzo thinks Tori is a librarian, and she is… kind of. But there’s more to her than that, she has another life he has no knowledge of, not until it comes banging on Tori’s front door.
Tori needs to escape and with the help of some friends, she does just that.
That’s just the start of a twisty, turny, crazy, zany story that brought characters back into my reading life and left me gasping for more.
Alonzo and Tori are a great couple, their attraction and chemistry was scorching over the phone. Face to face? Volcanic. This was a superb story from start to finish, and now I need to go back to the start of the Bossy Brothers series. Gotta love binge reads!!!
J.A. Huss has done it again with another hit. I highly recommend reading all the Bossy books in the series so you know the characters you are reading about, AND because the other books are as awesome as well!!
Alonzo, a tattooed fisherman from the Keys, hooks up with Tara, a sexy librarian from Colorado on line and have been sending, saying and doing very naughty things on line and over their phones for the last two years. But Tara is not Tara, she is Phoebe in the witness protection program, and Alonzo has been telling Tara that he is Lonnie and is an accountant.
When the two of them meet they are pissed off that they had lied to each other, but the REAL life sex is off the charts compared to what has been going on between them on the phone!
This book is funny as hell, page turning, and HOT HOT HOT!!!!
Huss is genius! In Bossy Brother’s Alonzo, we meet dirty talking Alonzo, aka Lonnie, who is having a long distance virtual relationship with sexy librarian, Tara. But, as is typical in Huss storylines, things are never as they seem and there are always twists and turns the reader doesn’t see coming.
In this installment of the Bossy Brothers, we are getting to know the Dumas clan, who are connected to the Boston Brothers through Jesse’s marriage to Emma Dumas, Alonzo’s sister.
Huss’s genius as a storyteller lies in not only her ability to keep her reader entertained and guessing, but in the way she weaves and intertwines seemingly disparate stories and characters. I won’t say more because…spoilers…but know that whether you are a new fan or a long time follower, Huss delivers a terrific book with Alonzo. Enjoy!
This Bossy book is the story of Alonzo. Alonzo is one of Emma’s brothers who happens to run a fishing charter business. Or is it a charter fishing business? Hmmmmm… Well, it doesn’t really matter. Lol. Anyway, Alonzo runs one of the Dumas family businesses and does something secretive on the side with his dad and brother, Tony. Because of this side business he doesn’t do much dating. He creates an alter ego, Lonnie, and has a long distance phone relationship with a woman named Tara. Tara is a cute, sexy librarian living in Colorado. Well, that’s what she tells Lonnie. Tara has some secrets of her own. Alonzo and Tara eventually meet and their chemistry is as hot as ever! They’re both hiding secrets and they’re suspicious of one another, but they are definitely in love. This was a sexy and suspenseful love story that kept me laughing. Jesse, from book one, is in this book quite a bit and he always make me laugh. This whole Bossy series has been pretty funny, suspenseful, and sexy. I definitely recommend it to everyone who enjoys those types of stories. Can’t wait for the next “Bossy” book.
I have to say that this book was my favorite so far. Bossy Bride, not my favorite, but it is the book who introduced Alonzo to the Bossy series and I understand the importance of it, I was a little apprehensive to start this one. But thank God I took the chance because Alonzo is surely my man.
This bossy tattooed man stole my heart within the first pages and kept my attention till the last page. Dumas and Boston brothers are sure an epic read, one full on action, humor and many many mysterious and Company schemes that was one to aspect I felt in love with JA Huss books
Beautifully Dangerous and Sexy Catch
Wow! JA Huss has really outdone herself this time. Alonzo and Tara’s story has all the suspense of other Huss stories but with even more chemistry, twist, and turns. I’ve been reading Julie’s books for years now and this one has set off a new spark in me for her writing. I had a delay in getting started reading Bossy Alonzo but once I got started I couldn’t stop. Each page has a new twist or turn that will keep you reading to find out more. A must read that will have you falling in love with the Dumas Family and wanting to join their team.
I’ve enjoyed reading all the stories in the Bossy Brothers series, and Alonzo’s story can be read as a standalone if you haven’t already read the first 4 featuring the Boston Brothers, but it would probably be more enlightening if you read Bossy Johnny beforehand.
In this story, we have our Hero, Alonzo Dumas, Jesse Boston’s brother-in-law and his sexting, long distance heroine, Tara Tanner. Like so many in our current generation, these two have been carrying on a virtual sexual relationship through phone calls and FaceTime. The corresponding dialogue is sexy and hot as they act out fantasies over the phone. Absolutely loved how Alonzo and Tara figured out how to merge their virtual and actual lives together!
The author takes us on her expected twists and turns as the story unfolds into a totally unexpected direction! Loved the story so much, and really appreciated the “cheat sheet” provided at the end so we could see how her series interconnect during various timelines. Confused? Don’t be as JA Huss is a masterful story teller that will seamlessly draw you in!
I absolutely loved this book. It surprised me a little. I wasn’t expecting Alonzo to be that guy. LOL!! You have to read to know what I mean. This book is sexy with lots of angst and lots of laugh out loud moments. I can’t get enough of all the twist and turns Huss is adding into these books and intertwining them with other series she has written in the past. I don’t know how she keeps it all straight without screwing up details. I’m looking forward to reading more of this series.
This is one of my favorite books by JA Huss. I own almost all of them as an ebook and/or audiobook and this book really shows Huss’s talent.
I’m on a high after finishing this book. I just want to dive into the next book. I love this world Huss has created. I’m in awe of how she keeps this storyline going…building more and more…tying all these characters/series together… YET each series can stand alone! You are not lost by starting here. How she does this is beyond me. It shows that an incredible author with immense talent is behind the storylines.
Alonzo, I loved him. He is so fun, thoughtful, romantic, but protective. He and Tara became best friends, even with their secrets, and he lived for her. Tara, I wanna be her. I LOVED her quick wit, dirty talking, role playing, sassy, loveable self. Their phone sex and role playing were amazing sex scenes. My heart just dropped for Alonzo at one point. She and Alonzo were a perfect match. We got to see past characters as well as new. Can’t wait to get those stories next.
I loved this book! I have to say that Alonzo and Tara’s story is my favorite this far in the Bossy series. In true Huss fashion, she leaves room for more stories to come. You have to love her for that.
As being an older person, I know a little about catfishing, but not a lot. I got an education in Alonzo LOL.
Alonzo is a fisherman and a Dumas, brother of Emma. I thought we would see a lot more of the Dumas family than we did. I am not disappointed as I am looking forward to more stories about the Dumas clan.
Tara lives in Fort Collins, Colorado. She is a hot librarian in every sense of a being a hot librarian. Pencil skirts, tight shirts, glasses, and a tight bun. Tara is dating Lonnie who lives in Florida. For 2 years she has been dating Lonnie. In a strange twist of events, Tara ends up fleeing to Florida. Imagine her surprise when she sees Alonzo and realizes that is her Lonnie.
My review is lame, but the book is awesome. You will swoon, laugh and have aha moments. If you are a fan of Huss you won’t be disappointed in Alonzo.
If you thought the Boston Brothers were hot wait till you meet Alonzo Dumas!! This is one hot fisherman and Tara, the librarian he is having phone sex with is just his match!! These two characters are sexy, funny and hot!! Loved how they banter at each other and try to one up with the phone sex!
I thought this book was amazing! Alonzo and Tara’s story was one I could not put down. From their steamy chemistry, to the drama in their lives leading to the perfect ending, you will love it like I did. Add in the extra family and friends and all they added to the story made it so entertaining I never could have predicted how it would end but it was perfect!
I’ve loved all of the Bossy Brother stories so far, and this one is NO exception!!! Holy hotness! The character building in this story was hot and tantalizing. Alonzo, the strong cocky brute of a fisherman, and Tara, the compassionate, stubborn sexy woman catfishing each other is a match made in heaven. These two with their antics had me laughing one minute and needing a cold shower the next. I couldn’t put the book down, it was an awesome read and I expected nothing less not only from JA Huss but this series just gets its hooks in you once you dive into it.
Alonzo finally gave me some answers! And I truly loved those answers – even if, of course since this is a Huss book, there are more questions too! – because there are some connections that are finally being made.
I thought Alonzo and Tara were a pretty unlikely couple, but at the same time, their romance was both cute and hot, too.
I was SO excite to get my hands on Alonzo, I FREAKING LOVED IT!!!
J.A Huss is truly brilliant with the way she write her stories, she makes you “think” you know what is going to happen THEN…. She throws another plot twist and BAM you’re even more hooked that before.
I don’t even know how to explain my reading experience of Alonzo, except to say that it is TRULY an experience reading. Throughout the entire story I was on the edge of my seat as more of the suspense unraveled, only to have more added on. This book ties in with other story lines and I LOVED getting to see and catch up with past characters.
My favorite part about reading J.A Huss’ work is that there’s a HUGE story within all the separate stories and you get sucked into all of the intrigue and espionage, I can’t get enough of it and I am glad that we have more to look forward to in the future!!
“Doesn’t it seem like everyone’s got a secret, but it’s not the same secret?”
Holy. Hell. Was this book good?! Opening up to that first page pulled me in straight away and I couldn’t put it down. I was excited to go on Alonzo and Tara’s journey from the beginning with them and see all the naughty and sexy times they had. It was such a fun book full of laughs and a rollercoaster of emotions.
I absolutely love these characters and how each have their own secret to them. They all come alive on the page and it’s hard not to fall right into their story and love them.
Alonzo and Tara were just perfect for each other. I loved their interactions and the hotness between the two right from the start. Their humour and dirty talk were perfectly written it felt like I was right there with them. I also really enjoyed their soft and sweet sides, especially Alonzo’s.
Although I had some ideas about what the Dumas family was up to, I loved finding out what they were actually doing and with the help of the Boston family and others, I loved how it all turned out in the end (though of course I still need more!).
Even before this book finished, I knew I needed more of these brothers and I can’t wait for Tony’s book next.
Alonzo and Tara were more than i could have dreamed. JA Huss is a definite one-click author for me and never let’s me down. When I pick up one of her books I KNOW I’m in for a ride. And this story tangles so many together that I’m on the edge of my seat in excitement waiting to see how it all unfolds. Alonzo, and I’m sure the rest of the Dumas family, was more than he lets on. Tara is a woman who is not afraid to say/ do what she wants and she has no problem being who she wants to be. I for one am waiting with baited breath to see what happens next.
OMG ALONZO!!!!!! I am totally in love with this guy.
After Bossy Bride, this is probably my favorite book of the series. I also love how it crossed over to the Rook and Ronin series & the Misters series.
Alonzo is Emma’s older brother who owns the boat shop in the Florida keys. Tara is a psuedo librarian who lives in Ft. Collins, CO and has a penchant for pencil skirts. They met on a chat site but Alonzo has been playing the part of “Lonnie” who was an accountant. What you don’t know is that Tara is also not exactly who she says she is. When Tara finds out that Lonnie has been “catfishing” her, she goes to key west to confront him.
There the story just gets better since her best friend also has history with one of the Dumas brothers….I absolutely can’t wait to find out what happens there!!!! This book was super hot and sexy, with action, drama and everything else!!
The only question that I don’t think was ever answered was WHY Alonzo started catfishing… it kinda started to sound like it was going to be explained but never was. So that is something I hope gets answered at some point in this series.
As I’ve already stated, this is probably my 2nd favorite of the Bossy Bros series so I definitely give it !!!
I recieved an ARC for my honest review.
