Sam's Book Basket: BLOG TOUR: Sex Love Repeat – Alessandra Torre + Review, giveaway & author interview!

Released: December 1st, 2013

I love two men. I screw two men. I am in a relationship with them both, and they are both aware there is another. That is all they need to know, that is all I let them know. They don’t need to know a name; they don’t need to know anything, but that they are not alone in my heart.

They have accepted the situation. Stewart, because his life is too busy for the sort of obligations that are required in a relationship. Paul, because he loves me too much to tell me no. And because my sexual appetite is such that one man has trouble keeping up.

So we exist, two parallel relationships, each running their own course, with no need for intersection or conflict. It works for us, for them, and for me. I don’t expect it to be a long-term situation. I know there is an expiration date on the easy perfection of our lives.

I should have paid more attention, should have looked around and noticed the woman who watched it all. She sat in the background and waited, tried to figure me out. Saw my two relationships, the love between us, and the moment that it all fell apart.
She hates me.

I don’t even know she exists.

She loves them. I love them.

And they love me.

EVERYTHING else hangs in the balance.

"But often, it is the forbidden that is the hottest, and the depraved that is the most arousing."

Alessandra Torre keeps on getting better and better. I love her books unconditionally because they're unique, forbidden and super shmexy. But this one? Holy shit. Fucking blew me away! I loved it. Every single bit of it. The characters were wonderfully captivating. The plot was absolutely lovely. I fell in love with the little bits over and over again. Fantastic work!

FUCKKK. This book was so fucking good I couldn't put it down. At all.

Madison's character was excellent. I loved her refreshing personality and how she doesn't really give a shit what people think of her. She loves sex. That's it.

I hate society's notion that there is something wrong with sex. Something wrong with a woman who loves sex.

Absolutely. I mean, I'm not a sex addict or anything but this is the right quote for slut-shaming. There is no problem in loving sex. If you can be addicted to caffeine or get high on shopping, why can't you love sex? What makes it any different?

I understand that you hate me. That you curse me for my greed. But if I am okay with it, and they are okay with it, how is it anyone else's right to judge?

The fact that she didn't lie to both men and that she loved them both equally made me admire her more. She didn't hide one guy from the other. She is honest to the two amazing men in her life.

Then there was also her past. I was so happy that she admitted her mistakes.

I am grateful that I got kicked in the ass. That I had a taste of reality before I traveled too far and that persona became permanent.

And then the guys. Stewart reminded me of Christian Grey. Intense, passionate, thoughtful. But just less romantic.

I have to admit, I was more biased towards Paul the whole time. I definitely felt that Paul loved Madison more. He was so considerate of her. He thought of her in everything he did and he lives with her for God's sake. He'd rather have half of her heart rather than not have her altogether.

Not to mention, the whole time I was imagining Paul Walker as him. Loves the sea? Check. Super hot? Check. EXTRA SWEET? Double check. May he rest in peace. I still cry whenever I see articles on him. Lord know I love that man to death.

But, ugh, the story itself was just so wonderful. I loved every single bit of it.

Phew, and I'd be lying if I told you guys I didn't enjoy the super hot sex they have. With Stewart, fast, hard and intense. With Paul, sweet, although sometimes rough, but always loving.

Remarkable job again, Alessandra Torre!

Just because I love him:

Such a cutie.

Today, I have Alessandra Torre here on my blog for an exclusive interview! Read it below.

I want to start by asking you, what inspired you to write this book?

I've always wondered how it would work to carry on two relationships at one time. I've never been a fan of menage or love triangle books, but this book has, in my opinion, a different feel. It is more like two parallel paths that the heroine is straddling at one time.

What was the hardest part in the process of writing this?

The hardest part was not knowing how it would end. I was so torn on this ending, and had to set it aside for a few weeks at one point. But then, words started flowing and I couldn't get them to stop.

Which character do you relate to the most? Why?

I would love to be more like Madison – she is the main character, and she is a California girl, carefree, surfs, is laid back, and sexually free. But I am probably more like Dana. Dana is flawed, and that is much easier to relate to for me!

Do you have any tips for other writers out there?

My number one tip is to read, read, read. Read every genre out there, and understand and appreciate why you like one book over others. Write down your pet peeves. Reading is the ultimate research to writing. And then, sit down and let it flow. Don't worry if you are writing one scene that contradicts another. Just pour everything you have onto the paper. Rewriting will fix all of that. THEN, actually rewrite. Take your time and do 5, 6, 7 rewrite sweeps.Don't rush the product, and don't pub it until you have exhausted every bit of your soul.
