Alpha Mail By: Brenda Rothert


I never get to do these just for fun reviews anymore... So I'm gonna enjoy the crap out of writing this one haha.

I won this book in one of those amazon bouncy box giveaways, and I honestly don't remember who it was through, but thanks so much for this stellar book whoever you were. I had no clue what this was was about till you posted your giveaway, and OMG am I happy circumstances led me to it, because this book was so so good.



Sienna Mills knows her alpha males. 
They brood. 
They growl. 
They love the word ‘mine’.
After spending her early twenties in and out of relationships with alphas, Sienna used her knowledge to found Alpha Mail, a booming business that allows women to sign up for emails, letters and texts from their own brooding, red-blooded man.
Her star is on the rise and Sienna is attracting the interest of investors when a mysterious man starts messaging her about the true nature of an alpha. She’s got it all wrong, he says, and he’s willing to show her how a real man makes women respond.
The more Sienna hears from him, the more aggravated she becomes. Who does this anonymous, supposed alpha think he is, anyway? 
And yet…she can’t deny his messages are becoming the best part of her days. Commitment-phobic Sienna finds herself wanting more from her sensei of seduction. But is she willing to trust her heart to an alpha again?


This book was such a fun find for me. I honestly had never heard of it or the author before winning a random copy. But sometimes those are the best books. The least expected are the ones that surprise you the most sometimes. And other than just a short blurb about the book the person giving away a copy to said, I really didn't know much about it going into the story.

One of my most favorite types of books though, are text or email conversations between people, where one of them is secret or they don't know each other (Or think they don't know each other) that sort of thing. So you couldn't believe how happy I was when, lo and behold, the main characters are talking through email. Like jackpot for this book nerd haha ðŸ’°ðŸ’°ðŸ’°

But I loved the dynamic in this book. Here we have this secret advice giver, and this strong, independent, yet funny female lead. Her business is mighty unconventional, but booming and a bit amusing at times (Although with such strong personality types working for her, it's to be expected haha)
And then here comes this guy telling her shes utterly wrong about it all. And the way that whole part of the story went about was just so fun and cheeky. I really did enjoy their back and forth banter.

And let me just say. I KNEW IT!!!!


I totally knew who our mystery emailer was. (Don't worry I won't even drop hints.) But seriously. I.am.good!! hahaha 



But I loved the mystery in having a well... Mystery guy haha. It makes things so much more fun, and I'm just one of those that likes to always try to guess what's gonna be happening in a book. Even if I drive most of my book friends crazy when I do hehe.

And just the entire dynamic this book had going on. It was such an easy read. I seriously flew through it. And something I loved, was that I could read like that. But also not feel like anything was missing or that the book was just a quick finish. It wasn't that you didn't get details, or a good length to the book. It just flowed so seamlessly and easy, that it was easy to get lost in the pages and just keep going until it was finished.

Nothing was forced or made me stop and pause to ask "What?"

And I can seriously appreciate a book like that.

Plus,as I gushed about earlier. The characters were fantastic. I'm having such a hard time talking about them though, because I'm afraid that in gushing. I'll give away our mystery guy.

Lets just say he's a total doll. I adored how sure of himself, but yet sweet and even caring he seemed. He definitely has that alpha thing going on (Duh! that is what this book is about after all haha)
But he's not the cocky almost jerk like alpha either. He knows how to treat a woman properly, and show his adoration. And showing that alpha side while he does it? Oh yeah! And I totally appreciated that Brenda could give us a character like that. Because I don't know about ya'll... But I love a good alpha, I just sometimes get tired of that whole bossy your mine over the top almost domineering alpha.



In my world there are very distinct differences between those. And I loved we got a book that tried to showcase that.

I honestly want more from this world.
The story, the characters, the secondary characters (Who BTW are just as amazing as the leads)

Which let me just side note here.

Sienna's brother? Yeah, I adore the guy....And like, the next book (There better be a next book haha) better be about his fine butt. I WANT MORE OF HIM!!!


Also, Sienna's best friend and her little boy? OH-EMM-GEE!!!
All the feels. Like so many feels. This book wasn't just all fun romance. It had one of the most amazing yet sad sub plots going on. The reason Sienna works the way she does. It is the sweetest thing I have read in a while. And the amount of selfless love and care this book has will warm and slightly break your heart all at the same time.


But even with that said. Just know, this book was freaking amazing. And you totally have to go grab up a copy. It will sooooo be worth your time reading it.

I give ALPHA MAIL
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐5 STARS⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Also, because I love him, and were talking cute guys. Here's some more sexy Tyler Hoechlin for you haha

Book Blurb:

From the author of the On the Line and Fire on Ice hockey romance series comes a sultry novel featuring a brooding NHL player who’s hell on skates—and the no-nonsense woman who forces him to clean up his act. Miranda: Even though I’m broke, putting myself through college, and working two jobs, I’m trying to make the best of it. Meanwhile, Jake Birch, hockey’s hottest bad boy, lives in a luxury hotel in downtown Chicago—and still complains about every little thing in his penthouse. But after I tell him off, instead of getting me fired, Jake requests me as his personal housekeeper. Then he starts flirting with me. Only I’m not flirting back . . . at least, I’m trying not to. Did I mention that he’s hockey’s hottest bad boy? Jake: I’ve met the best woman at the worst possible time. Miranda is the fire to my ice—a sexy, charmingly candid spark who breaks down my walls and reminds me what it’s like to feel again. But I’m being forced to date my team owner’s daughter to keep my job, so I can’t be caught with Miranda. Still, we’re getting closer—until Miranda finds out about my “girlfriend.” And that’s not the only secret I’ve been keeping. But Miranda’s the one I want . . . even if she doesn’t believe me.

EXCERPT REVEAL

Tony doesn’t have much to say this morning. He dismisses the staff and I stifle a groan when I look down at my assignment sheet and see I’ve got the penthouses again. Crap. I still feel guilty about the shirt I ruined in one of the penthouses yesterday. I also don’t want to run into another naked woman. I roll my cart of cleaning supplies onto the service elevator and debate whether I should knock out Jake the stripper f*cker’s room first or put it off ’til last. Might as well get it out of the way. I knock on the door and announce myself more loudly than usual. “Housekeeping! Housekeeping coming in. Are there any naked people in here? Hello?” Nothing. I stood in the middle of the massive suite and look around. There’s a glass on the counter and a gray sweatshirt thrown over the back of a chair. “Hey.” The sound of a deep male voice makes me jump and screech. I actually screech, the cry caught in my throat before it escapes sounding more like a loud wail than a scream. A tall, well-built man is leaning backward out the bathroom door, just his head and shoulders showing. “What the hell?” I put a palm on my chest and will my heart to resume its normal pace. “This is my room,” the man answers. “Yeah, but . . . didn’t you hear me announcing myself?” He steps out of the bathroom wearing nothing but a white towel around his waist and I see that “well built” doesn’t even begin to describe him. His arms, chest and stomach are ripped. I didn’t even know it was possible to have so much definition on ab muscles. “You like the view?” he asks, giving me a cocky grin and glancing down at his bare stomach. “Uh . . .” I clear my throat and look up at his eyes, which are a bright gray-blue. “No, I just . . .” His smile slips away. “What?” Apparently it’s been too long since I saw a man in a nothing but a towel. I can’t even think straight right now. “No,” I repeat, clearing my throat. “No, you don’t like the view?” “It’s okay, I guess.” That’s a lie, but I’m pretty sure this guy’s self-esteem will survive. He hmm’s with amusement. “Want me to drop the towel so you can get a closer look?” “No. No, definitely . . . no.” I shake my head for emphasis. “Okay,” he says, arching his brows and giving me a look that makes me sure he thinks I’m crazy. “Yes, I heard you announce yourself, but I need to talk to you so I didn’t want you to leave.” Oh God. He knows I stole his shirt. I give him an expectant look, trying to decide if I should own up to it or deny it. Deny, deny, deny. I can’t afford to lose this job. “You guys f*cked up the stuff I requested,” he says, walking over to the suite’s kitchen area. I follow him, not noticing the outline of his very nice ass against the towel. Not noticing it at all. “I don’t want liters of Evian,” he says, gesturing at the bottles of water on the counter. “I want normal sized bottles. Sixteen ounces or whatever. And this”—he holds up a bottle of amber alcohol—“is not gonna work. I’m not a frat boy. I asked for Evan Williams 23 and I want Evan Williams 23. I drink a shot of 23 after every win. This is really important.” Not missing a beat, he moves on to the next thing. “I also need Irish Spring soap.” “Irish Spring?” He gives me an annoyed glare. “I’ve used that soap since high school. I hate that flowery shit you guys have in your bathrooms.” “And you want us to get these items for you?” “Right. I’ll pay for everything, plus your time. I’ve got a rigorous schedule and I don’t have time to run around shopping. My housekeeper usually takes care of this stuff.” Wow. I can see why this guy hooks up with random strippers. What woman would want to put up with him long term?
