I love books that completely captivates my imagination, pushes boundaries and doesn’t do the typical romance stuff. TIGHT by Alessandra Torre was one of those books for me. Simply, one word to describe this book is BRILLIANT. There are books that you love and then there are books that you love with a passion that leaves you reeling from a total book hangover and TIGHT was one of those books. This is unlike any story because Ms. Torre has managed to turn a short sexy novella from the BEND Anthology into a full length book that went from sexy romance to an erotic suspense and mind-blowing book. Boundaries are pushed, sex and steam are taken up a notch and lastly readers are taken on suspenseful ride filled with OMG and WTF just happened, That’s right, TIGHT is one of those rare books that kept you glued to your kindle because the story and writing are wickedly brilliant and flawless. It is a book filled with suspense, romance, steam, mystery, and raw characters. TIGHT encompasses a book that takes the meaning of love, strength, hope, devotion, and dedication to another level.


If you read the novella, STILL, we were introduced to Brett Jacobs and Riley Johnson who had a hot passionate night in the Bahamas. With that being said, I went into thinking okay TIGHT will pick off right where I last left off in STILL. Well, I was in for a surprise because TIGHT took on a whole new direction and I love Alessandra for it. (*Note: You don’t have to read STILL before TIGHT. *) Ms. Torre allowed her readers to delve deeper into the characters of Riley and Brett. These characters went from two strangers who had hooked up in the Bahamas to two emotional, raw and captivating characters. The chronicling of how Brett and Riley became a couple was beautiful and sexy. The storytelling was so gripping as you watch these two fall madly in love with each other but at the same time Ms. Torre and her brilliant mind inserts chapters that will shock you. These chapters will engage you and have you captivated as to what is to become of Riley and Brett. TIGHT is a book filled with many layers of mystery, suspense, dark topics, and romance. As layers slowly begins to get peeled, secrets, lies, and truths begins to get unraveled. Questions of who really is Brett Jacobs begins to linger? And when the truth is finally exposed, can Riley Johnson accept the truth that been held on so tight?



Alessandra Torre is one of those authors that I love because she simply leaves you hungry for more of her books. She gives her readers a book to experience. A book where it takes you down a raw, dark, sensual suspense filled ride that leaves you breathless and wanting more. With her spellbinding writing and storytelling, this book will leave you sinfully addicted and reeling from a book hangover. TIGHT is a beautiful, unique, erotic suspenseful and raw story that was so well written that you are totally bewitched with the story, writing and characters. Having characters that are so raw, vulnerable and open allows readers to empathize and FEEL every emotions. TIGHT is definitely a page-turner of a book because it will leave you wondering what secrets, lies, and truths are being held on tight. When these secrets are exposed, as a reader I was so hypnotized as to what was transpiring between Riley and Brett. A book that can pull you in, have you on the edge, and leave you happily satisfied is a book that must be read. What can I have say but go read TIGHT. This book was sexy, erotic, suspenseful, mind-blowing, and captivating!!! Another 5+ Star read!!!
