I look forward to our quickie lunch dates and the way he whispers in my ear every night from two-thousand miles away. the way he whispers in my ear every night from two-thousand miles away.
He’s the best boyfriend I never had.

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.

It’s long-distance fling filled with dirty-talking, sexy selfies, and safely-hidden secrets… until it isn’t.
Until the day they meet and realize… Love in the Land of fake Far, Far Away can’t ever compare to the real thing.

Oh holy hottness. From the first page of this book the chemistry between the two main characters Alonzo Dumas and Tara Tanner explodes and you’re hooked, the need to unwrap them and learn all the things about them is strong. You won’t put this book down once you open it.
Their relationship is built on a rocky foundation but you root for them the whole way through, at every twist and turn.
I also loved the supporting characters in this book as I’m sure you will too.
Happy reading this is definitely a must have.
Wow, what a terrific story, I’m just loving all of the Bossy Brother stories! I’m a stickler for reading books in a series (standalone or connected) in order but then I’m the person who likes everything to be in order, until it’s not! You can absolutely start here with Bossy Brothers Alonzo and then go back and read the other Bossy Brothers. I promise you’ll fall in love with Tara and Alonzo, I sure did! And if you are new to JA Huss, let me be the first to welcome you! It’s a wild ride, these characters will stay with you long after the last page has been read and you’ll hold the stories close to your heart. Neither Tara or Alonzo are what or who they seem on the surface and it’s a fun, sexy, mysterious journey of discovery. JA Huss continues to delight with her multilayered characters and twisty plots, Bossy Brothers Alonzo is a must read! Now the countdown begins as I anxiously await the audiobook (trust me, listening to JA Huss audiobooks is just as addicting as reading them!)
Alonzo is my favorite in the Bossy Brother’s series!!! You’ll need a fan to cool yourself while reading. Alonzo and Tara are a power couple and their journey isn’t easy. But the fishermen will catch his siren. I love Julie’s brilliant mind. She knows how to hook a reader and keep them wanting more. I can’t wait to read Tony’s story and see more of the Bossy & Dumas family. #canbereadasastandalone #Alonzoismine #SaveBaby #catfishing #SirenandFishermen
Bossy Brothers: Alonzo is the fifth book in the Bossy Brothers series by JA Huss. If you read Jesse’s book you know that Alonzo is Emma’s brother. We also know that something “fishy” is going on with the Dumas family and it isn’t their charter fishing business.
Tara Tanner and Lonnie Derringer (a.k.a. Alonzo Dumas) are having a long-distance relationship—a phone sex relationship between two people who never met in person. Like many online relationships, the personal information they share is fuzzy. It is hard to distinguish between the truth and the lies. This couple wants to believe the picture they have of one another but it is too perfect to be true.
When Tara’s past knocks at her Colorado door, she decides to head down to Key West with a couple friends to confront Lonnie. She trusts him. Alonzo is her guy. He can’t be a member of a family that hurt her friend and ruined her life. In a quest for the truth, the trio decide it is time for a showdown.
The chapters switch between Tara and Alonzo’s point of view. It is funny even in their heads there are times that the reader isn’t sure what is real and what is not. The two main characters have interesting pasts, and hold onto beliefs that they don’t deserve a happy-ever-after life. The more their true character unfolds, the more I like them.
I have to admit I didn’t fall right into the excitement of the story. (Although there are plenty of hot scenes right out of the gate.) As I read the first couple chapters, I couldn’t figure out where Julie was taking this story. Then it was an Emeril Lagasse moment and BAM! The Shrike world collides with the Boston world. (I LOVE when Julie blends her worlds.) As soon as Tara walks into Sick Boyz I’m hooked. Then there is an escape to Florida with secrets revealed about the Dumas clan. In the middle of the hoopla is the Boston Brothers. It is hard to tell the bad guys from the good guys. My stomach was in knots for a few chapters. I was afraid that everything I thought I knew about this group was a lie. What fun!
Even though Alonzo is in previous books in this series, Bossy Brothers: Alonzo works as a standalone. Alonzo is a fun story with several tense moments thrown in for good measure and an unexpected ending. I recommend adding this book to your collection as soon as possible. Now I sit and wait to see what JA Huss has next for us.
4.5 Stars
Holy Smokes These Two are Smoking HOT! This is book 5 is the Bossy Brothers. It can be read as a stand alone B U T I would want it all, but that’s just me. This is so far to me the only one that could be read out of order though but makes so much more sense in order and things are becoming clearer and if you haven’t read the other books well you might not get all that!!
Great character build up from the start, Catfishing huh, well that is only the first little bread crumb the rest well its…told in the best JA Huss way, edge of your seat the entire way!! Jeeze this woman can tell a story full of secrets, lies and hot freaking sex. Alonzo def has a lot he is hiding as does Tara. They don’t even know just how dang close they truly are in likeness other than they both believe the stories that go on for 2 years while they have hot phone sex…then BAM!!
Yep well in these Bossy Boys way it happens quick and its either gonna sink or make it. its one or the other with all these and truly at the end of each book we get a little deeper into it all. We get into the Dumas side this time and its does not disappoint one little bit or is it a big bit? Ha ha well you going have to read this one yourself to get any of that good stuff, just know if you have lived in #hussjourneyville well this one fits right into that same kind of mindfuckery town!!
Absolutely Loved Alonso and Tara they are both strong characters that do not disappoint, go ahead and jump on in to the Bossy’s, they are all awesome…and Alonzo well he does not disappoint at all, I kind of wondered exactly what kind of character would follow Johnny’s character and well as I said its most def told in the best of JA Huss style!! Ya gotta get into these Bossy Guys and Girls because they are all strong characters who never disappoint!! Jump on the Bossy Train Today!!!
Well we finally get to meet Alonzo. He sure knows how to heat up the pages and make a gal gush. Alonzo seeks out a long distance ‘relationship’ with figure hugging, pencil skirt wearing Tara Tanner. The sextapades that they converse with are combustibly hot and Alonzo has meet his match in the dirty talk.
Lies and secrets are in abundance but the chemistry between Alonzo and Tara sizzle. Belinda and Vann bring another element into the story and I’m hoping that we get to see more of them. So many tidbits adds to this story that I can’t wait to see what the future holds for them men of the Dumas family.
I love the Dumas family and want to live on Dumas Street so I can join in the fun!
I am amazed at how Julie keeps building the suspense as this series continues, divulging more info, more secrets, more characters and yet completes this story in the series with no cliffhangers (I hate cliffhangers).
I have been thoroughly enjoying this series and definitely recommend this book.
Alonzo and Tara’s story is so full of passion, banter and feels and everything I love in a book. ALonzo is the perfect rough alpha – the kind that makes me swoon. Put these two characters and you have an intense and incredible story that I could not put down.
Although book 5 in the Bossy Brothers series, this can be read and enjoyed as a stand alone. Alonzo is a fisherman. One with secrets. So he has been dating Tara the librarian for 2 years, but they’ve never met. It’s all been phone dates. And that’s where the story starts, with some very hot phone dates. But then things change, Tara makes a two thousand mile road trip, and….
This book has lots of hotness, right from the start. It’s entertaining, fast paced, funny, serious, and with a JA Huss twist. Secrets are revealed, and information is learnt about the shady business the Dumas family is involved in. A fabulous story, I was unable to put down!
This new addition to the serie is fantastic!!!
Has everything you could want, is fun, hot and full of mystery and twist and turns.
Alonzo is adorable and so sexy. Tara is a great heroine.
I really liked the star of their relationship, and how they were really knowing one and other.
I was happy to see some of the other characters that I love and the introduction to new ones.
I really enjoy this books, they make discontent from the world and just relax.
OMG, I freaking love the uniqueness, and originality author JA Huss shows on each one of her mind-blowing stories, and this book is just that!
Alonzo (Bossy Brothers, #5) can be read as standalone. This story is fun, sexy, and hilarious right from the begining. Alonzo and Tara’s connection is fiery hot, their banter sexy, fun and flirty. The hiding secrets, lies and revelations will bring with them twists that’ll take you on a roller coaster ride that’ll keep you turning the pages until you have reach the end. From literally the first page I was hooked and gripped.
The story is beautifully well-written, and masterfully crafted; with excellent plot, character development, and believability that will let you feel as if you’re part of the story. In other words, the author as usual, has created satisfying and believable character that will steal your heart.
I highly recommend that you check out this fabulous story.
I received and ARC from the author for my honest opinion, however as I always do with “must reads” for me, I did purchase my own copy.
Bossy Brothers Alonzo by JA Huss
This book started off hot, hot, hot. A no holds bar type of phone sex relationship that lasted 2 years between our 2 main characters, Lonnie (aka Alonzo) and Tara. It brought us back to a town that has played a big part in past JA Huss books that past readers will love. But don’t worry. Alonzo is a complete standalone with all new characters with a few Bossy brothers making an appearance in this spinoff focused on the Dumas family in the Keys.
Tara and Lonnie are fun and sexy and are a pure joy to read. Their interaction, although 2000 miles apart is full of tangible sexiness. I couldn’t help but be captivated with each conversation they had. It was sexy, funny and silly all mixed together.
“This is us. We are playful. We are fun. We are spontaneous, and flirty, and silly, to be quite honest.”
You can tell that their attraction is so much more than what either of them intended 2 years ago. But they are both keeping secrets from one another. So what happens when danger comes knocking on their door?
It wouldn’t be a JA Huss book without twists and turns and she delivered. Once we leave Colorado, we get to see the Dumas family with some Bossy brothers in action in Key West. These men like to live in the gray area. Things aren’t always black and white. What is everyone going to discover and what will this mean for Tara and Alonzo? Will their relationship grow and prosper or will their secrets in the end, keep them apart?
I enjoyed this book and all the characters we were introduced to. It makes me excited for what’s to come in this world. A few phrases were repeated a few too many times for my liking, but it didn’t take away from the story being told. It was sexy, fun and even a little legend was thrown in to help push the story forward. I think people will enjoy the hotness mixed with humor and twists. We, as readers, are in for a ride that will not slow down with these Dumas brothers. Are you ready?? 4+ entertaining stars
It’s stories like this that keep me reading Huss books. Heat, humor, heat and mystery are just parts of the worlds you get totally swept up in.
Alonzo and Tara are 2 people with huge secrets. But that’s okay because they never plan to meet in real life. Well you know what they say about plans…
We’ve entered a whole new world with these brothers and I’m ready to go along for the ride.
Alonzo is one complicated sexy man. Tara is one strong compassionate woman. They both have secrets. There connection is amazing. They fit together perfectly. This book sucked me in from the start. I could not wait to see what would happen next. Loved all the twists and turns in this story.
Bossy Brothers: Alonzo by JA Huss had me hooked from the start. Tara and Alonzo’s story was an enemies to lovers romance full of steamy chemistry, lies and secrets. They have been “dating” for a while now and their phone sex will leave you breathless. Yet they are not being truthful with each other. When they finally meet and realize there is so much more between them, things take another surprising turn!
I loved Tara and Alonzo so much. They were great characters that had a lot of chemistry and I just loved all their back and forth. We get to go on a wild and crazy ride with them full of surprises and twists! I am so excited on what’s to come!

Happy reading!
JA Huss is at it again. First, let me start by saying this is a complete standalone! With that being said, as a die hard JA Huss fan … Man did it feel good to be back in Fort Collins. I loved everything about being back including Tara and her personality. And Alonzo just makes me swoon. I dig everything about his lying ass. The banter and feelings between the makes the book beyond enjoyable and the plot made it a page Turner for sure.
This story was full of mind boggling twists and turns although I kind of predicted Alonzo’s deep dark secret. JA Huss put so many nuggets of information of what the future holds for upcoming story’s that I cannot wait to see where she takes us next.. all the possibilities!
Bossy Alonzo is fantastic! It’s an entertaining, fun, and sexy as hell read! It’s filled with mystery and suspense, secrets, lies, and intrigue aplenty. Who knew long distance sex could be so hot! I love Alonzo and Tara, their chemistry positively sizzles!
Alonzo can be read as a standalone or as part of the Bossy Brothers series.
Bossy Brother Alonzo is an epic ride for full of kinky fun, truths, lies and twists that only Julie Huss can bring.This story brings new characters intertwined with some old places and familiar faces. What you believe to be true is anything but.
Tara and Lonnie have been online dating for quite sometime. Their phone escapades are panty melting and erotic. Their banter is hilarious and sexy but they both long for something more. When Lonnie tries to share some truth, things go off the rails spectacularly. This sexy romp turns into mystery and thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat and burning through the pages.
A true JA Huss gem!
When you are looking for the very best and I mean THE very best in sexy intrigue, look no further than J.A. Huss! I swear the woman has my heart racing from all things passionate as this story starts and then it just beats faster as our couple is caught up in a puzzle that is all kinds of incredible. Alonzo Dumas and Tara Tanner have this chemistry even from two thousand miles away as they engage in some of the sexiest phone sex I’ve ever read. Even as they continue to lie to one another about who they truly are in ‘real life’, you can sense the genuine in what they have felt for the other these past two years.
Then once they are finally face to face, watch out! The sparks fly right along with mysteries coming to light as the Dumas family’s secrets take a turn that I never saw coming. I was convinced right along with Tara just what Alonzo and his family was up to and imagine my surprise as the truth finally is found out and my head continued to spin as it tries to keep up with what Huss has masterfully created. Not to mention the Bossy brothers’s involvement, their own secrecy a bit mind-boggling as well.
Holy moly, what a ride. A page-turner that is beyond well-written and proves once more just how creative Huss continues to be. The way she weaves in prior books and series in her trademark understated way is brilliant.
I had a blast with this book and I can’t recommend it highly enough. You’ll fall hard for Alonzo, Tara and the rest of this crew, whose stories are just getting started.
Really well done, I happily give Alonzo (Bossy Brothers #5) a huge 5 stars!
I loved Alonzo and Tara’s story. Actually, I’ve loved each of the standalone novels in author J.A. Huss’ Bossy Brothers series, but I definitely love Alonzo’s story most.
From the first page to the last, this book is serious fun. Sexy banter, lovable characters, secrets, lies and many twists and reveals made Alonzo a page-turner. The story starts as a sexy, electronic version of pen pals looking for more and turns into a bit of an adventure/thriller. I just couldn’t put it down!
Alonzo might look like a brawler covered in ink, but his tats have meaning. I adored his story of his family legend. Tara, Belinda and Vann Vaughn are fun additions to the mix, and they create an opportunity to bring many characters together in this latest Bossy Brothers novel.
