Strictly Addicting!!! Yes, that’s what comes into my mind when I think of Ella Fox’s newest release, Strictly Temporary. I practically devoured this book in one sitting and loved it. This was the first book that I have read from the talented Ella Fox and it surely won’t be my last. As I was reading Strictly Temporary, I was instantly hooked with all the characters and yes I had to one-click Ms. Fox’s Hart Box Set Series because I needed more books to read from Ella Fox.

Strictly Temporary was an emotional, heartbreaking, sexy, and swoon-worthy book. From the prologue to the last page, Ms. Fox will have you consumed with a storyline that was beautifully delivered and written. Ella has an ability to allow readers to feel. To feel the emotional pain, hurt, vulnerability, anger, and love. I was truly mesmerized and invested in getting to know the characters since all her characters felt so real.
Arden Winger was the Small Towne girl, who wanted to escape her small town of small-minded people. Judged and picked on, all Arden wanted to do was to be left alone. She was in her own bubble where she was temporarily content but that bubble was to burst when a popular boy from her hometown tried to pursue her. Letting her guard down, she let him into her heart and little did she know, it was just a game and bet for him and his friends. Soon Arden found herself naked, humiliated and taunted. Her virginity taken and made a fool. Trust was stolen. A heart was shattered.

Exton Xavier Alexander is the sexy alpha male of Hollywood. Limelight, fame, rumors and women constantly surrounds Exton. He is believed to be a playboy and whose rise of notoriety is this sex tape that’s been circulating in the public. But like all things Hollywood, things can be a facade and rumors tend to be exaggerated. For Exton, he was never against love till it was staring straight at him. Arden was it for Exton from the moment he laid his eyes on her. And once, he finally convinced Arden to let him in, he made sure to never let her go and this thing thats going on between them isn’t going to be temporary but forever. Can Arden finally let Exton see her vulnerability and open her heart again to trust? Or will her past come shattering down and destroying any chance of happiness? Can this city boy rescue this small town girl?

Strictly Temporary is hands down a must read!!!! This book will have you craving and wanting more of Exton Alexander. Ella Fox, you have made me a fan and I’m slapping my forehead in not reading your books any sooner. Well that won’t be a problem any more, because Ms. Fox, I am now one-clicking any book that you write. If you want swoon-worthy and panty-melting, alpha hero, then I highly suggest you meet Exton Alexander. He will make your heart go pitter-pat when he constantly tells his girl thats she’s the one. His love and devotion to Arden will touch your heart and have you saying AWWW!! You gotta love a man who knows what he wants and I know what I want. Simply, I want more Exton Alexander. So Ms. Ella Fox, please hurry and release book 2 soon because I am dying to know what’s going to happen next with Exton and Arden.
