Fisher of Men (Eastern Shore Swingers) Book 1 by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Robin Rankin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fisher of Men by Phoebe Alexander is the first book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series. I have had this book in my TBR list and on my Kindle for quite a while. Finally got a chance to sit down to read it. My old regret is I hadn’t read it sooner.

The story between Leah and Cap was a lot hotter and more detailed than I was expecting and I don’t think I would have enjoyed the book as much if she had written any other way.

Leah has quite a good head on her shoulders for someone as young as she is. Definitely an older soul in a young body. And Cap sounds like a silver fox. He’s older and wiser than Leah, especially with his experience in the Swinging world.

I have read a lot of different sub groups in the Romance world, but I do believe this was my first foray into the swinging world. This book is not for one who gets uncomfortable during intimate or explicit scenes but I felt that the book was so well written that you can look past it.

Siren Call (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 3) – Review by Karyn Taylor

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Siren Call is the 3rd book in the Eastern Shore Swingers Series by Phoebe Alexander. It follows on from Fisher of Men and The Catch. Although it follows on from the first 2 books it can be read as a stand-alone. I would suggest that you do read the first 2, not because it will help with your understanding of this book, but purely because they are fantastic books. If you are going to read them all then I’d recommend reading them in order as the story will flow much better that way. As with the first 2 books this is a very erotic read. It is also the first time that I have read a F/F book. I was unsure how I’d enjoy this. I will say that I did enjoy this book but not quite as much as the first 2. Not saying that this is not a good book, it’s a great book.
Our main heroine Jessie is a cop with a heart of gold. Everything she does is aimed at making life better for others. The owners of the swing club she is a member of have asked her to look out for another member, Sirena, as they are worried about her. In trying to get close to Sirena and to find out her story, Jessie becomes more and more attracted to Sirena. She soon realises that there is a lot more to Sirena’s story than she would ever have imagined.
There is so much more drama an intrigue in this book which keeps you gripped to find out just what Sirena’s story is. I have to admit that I really didn’t like Sirena through most of the book but I adored Jessie. She was an amazing character.
I’ve loved this series so far and I’m now looking forward to reading the next instalment to see what the author has in store for all these characters.

The Catch (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 2) by Phoebe Alexander is the second book in her Eastern Shore Series.Although this can be read as a standalone I do recommend reading the first book in this series as well. I was hooked from the beginning and had a hard time putting it down once I started reading. I’ve read several other books by this Author and this is on the top of my favorites list. This is the story of Paisley and Calvin. Paisley works at the club,it a secret club for those who live a certain lifestyle. She’s new to the area and her job.Shes very smart yet independent and people seem to be drawn to her and her confidence and also the way she looks.She doesn’t do relationships but she does do hook-ups,or friends with benefits..What will happen when she meets a man who wants a relationship with her? Calvin is a smart and kind man and owns his own business. He’s very clear about his feelings for Paisley, he’s drawn to her. He wants the whole package,her body,heart,and her soul as well. What happens when her past comes back to haunt her? Will she turn to Calvin for help and comfort? Can he convince her to have a relationship with him? This book has some pretty hot and steamy scenes .Some parts had me sitting on the edge trying to figure out what happens next. I highly recommend this book. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This author never ceases to amaze. This second book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series is just a sizzling as the first. This book can be read as a standalone, however, I do highly recommend you read Book One at some point, because it is fantastic in its own right.
Paisley is a strong independent woman who don’t need to man, or at least she doesn’t need a relationship. The physical aspect of the man, she can get jiggy with, the emotional side of it, she can deal without. She is a flawed character and I loved that Ms Alexander wrote a character that has curves for days. Paisley is not the typical flat tummy, long legged runner who you would normally see in the Ocean City landscape around Maryland and when she is hired as a manager at a hotel, her first priority is to hire someone to design the hotel’s website.

Enter Calvin…the not so geeky..but I am a tall drink of water..Calvin. He challenges everything she knows. He pushes her boundaries and her comfort levels. When the steam starts to rise between them, the sheets start to smoke. When a blast from Paisley’s past come barreling back and threatens her, Calvin risks his own well-being to protect her and she starts to believe that he just maybe the very thing that she has been waiting for.

This book is super hot. 18+ audience for super mature theme and some steamy between the sheets scenes. Smooth easy read with passages and paragraphs flow from one thought to the next. As a reader you do not feel rushed through the story and the story line progresses at a pace that is both relevant and applicable to the story.

The CatchThe Catch
By: Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Catch (The Eastern Shore Swingers #2) by Phoebe Alexander was a fun, light heart read that had me hooked from start to finish.

Not my first read by this author or in this series. Just so you know, these book read as standalones, so no worries about reading out of order, like, I have been doing..haha.. Anyways, like the other books in this series, its full of fun, sassy witty humor, some kick in the feels drama and of course, hot sexy smut, it’s like she got her inspiration from the Fantastic selection of smut straight from m-porn.xxx.

In this book we follow Paisley, and her journey to self acceptance, learning it’s okay to love and be loved and dealing with a past she rather forget. I have to tell you that, I really like Paisley as the lead MC. She’s a mature woman that has some immature tendencies. Strong, smart and not seeing the great storm that she is, we get to witness her ups, downs, and of course, putting a, to her, a shameful past to rest. Calvin was the perfect match for her. Age is but a number, (over 18 that is), I get her worrying about the age difference, but sometimes, it isn’t the age that’s the problem, and Calvin was out to prove that to Paisley. I loved them, and they got all the good feels going, and then there was the… smut.. fan please!

Overall this book was a great read and, like the other is this series, the writing was smooth, transitions were clean and, the story flowed in a easy cohesive way. I highly recommend you get your hands on not only on this book, but this, fan-freaking-tastic series.

Happy Reading

Yet another journey into the lives of the swingers! I have to say that I wasn’t disappointed. I quite admire the way that the author deals with her subject matter. The characters are very relateable. I find her writing style to be very refreshing.

The chemistry between Paisley and Calvin is very unique. I could feel the turmoil Paisley felt as she battled her doubts if she was good enough for him or not. I quite like how I could relate to some of the emotions and feelings that she had even though my experiences have been different. The author has really brought an alternative lifestyle to life in her books and in a manner that even though it isn’t your lifestyle choice you can still enjoy reading about the characters that portray it. I will definitely read more by this author in the future.

The Catch (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 2)
Phoebe Alexander
5 out of 5 stars

One thing I’ve come to really appreciate in this series is Phoebe Alexander’s use of applicable quotes at the beginning of each of her chapters. I’ve always been a fan of a good quote and the effort put into this aspect of the series hasn’t been lost on me.
I mentioned in a previous review that I had read the third book of this series first, they read really well as stand alone stories. Once again it was cool to see the familiar faces I knew in book 3 and more of their background, Casey, Leah, Cap.
Paisley’s character is my favorite thus far, her story has a little bit of everything sex, danger, her character is fun and charismatic despite her colorful, mysterious past.
I was roped in from beginning to end and I felt that Calvin and Paisley really worked well together. Honestly, such a well rounded story with a sexy, strong, confident leading lady, I would certainly recommend!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Catch started off as a stimulating, romantic book two in the Eastern Shore Swingers series but eventually morphed a bit into a suspenseful mystery. There is someone targeting one of the members, Paisley, and making threats, and it escalates! Paisley may be sensually adventurous, but she’s pretty alone. She definitely thinks her bosses and Calvin can’t really want to be close to her for who she really is. What I like about Calvin is that he’s open-minded but won’t compromise on what he feels he deserves in a relationship. We also get to see how Leah, Cap, and Casey are doing. I enjoyed this, this series is really unlike others I’ve read.

The Catch (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 2) by Phoebe Alexander is a story that is as enticing as it is sexy. I have not read on thing from Phoebe that I have not liked and this one makes you fall in love with our protagonist and relate to her on a personal level. Right from the start you are drawn in and Phoebe has done a great job in keeping the chills and drama, suspense and thrills flowing and emotions high. We find ourselves reading about a woman who is happy in her own skin and wears it well but deep down there is more going on but will she be able to face the truth and move on? ​There are hot and steamy scenes that will curl your toes and romance and laughter. It was also nice to check in on old friends, Leah, Cap and Casey from the first book. All of this makes for a good follow on and enjoyable read.

I give The Catch (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 2) by Phoebe Alexander, 5 stars.

Paisley is now the manager of a lifestyle club in Ocean City, Maryland. She is new here, but she feels like she was meant for this job. She doesn’t really have too many friends, but the owners and other employees are very nice. They seem to trust her. When they assign her to have a website made for the club, this will change everything.

Calvin is the owner of a website development company who agrees to create site for Paisley. It isn’t really his lifestyle, but it is something new a different from what he normally does. Plus it means that he will see this beautiful woman more. But he knows Paisely is hiding behind her strong facade. What is it she’s hiding? And will he be able to make her see just how interested he really is?

This series is absolutely wonderful! The second book in the series, your favorite characters return, along with new ones you will never forget. As is usual with this author’s books, she mixes love, sex, humor and suspense into an intoxicating story that will leave you wanting more. This book fits right into the series and I highly recommend reading book one because it is also so good, but this book can be read as a standalone.

Once you read this, you will want too see more of Paisley and Calvin as much as I do. If you like steamy, fun books and have an open mind of the swinging lifestyle, this book (and series) is for you!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fisher Of Men by Phoebe Alexander is book 1 of the Eastern Shore Swingers Series and where it all begins. Leah Miller was the Guest Experience Strategist at The Pearl. She pretty much ran the show. One night she had to fill in for as a bartender for a party in a private room that was booked. Life as she knew it changed on that day when she met Captain Chris Sheldon also know as Cap to all his friends. Leah only spoke with him for a little bit but, couldn’t seem to get him off her mind. She wasn’t exactly sure what kind of party she was bartending for. All she knew was the party was booked under Casey’s Group.

Leah and Cap end up seeing a lot of each other since Casey’s Group ended up booking a few parties at the Pearl. Also, Leah and Cap both had dogs they liked to walk on the beach. One day while Leah was there she ran into Cap. He was quite persistent. She finally agreed to go on a date with him. She was the furthest thing from a swinger though. Her dad was part of the church and Leah was expected to go to church every week and hopefully meet a nice young man. Not a swinger who had children only a few years younger then her.

This book had a lot of back and forth. Leah was falling for Cap but, she couldn’t picture herself going to swinger parties. She ended up going to party on New Year’s Eve where things had changed.

Can a sweet innocent vanilla woman actually
be able to win the heart of man who is a bit older and much more experienced?

I thought this book was well written. I didn’t really care much for the character of Leah. I understand she was in a position she never thought she would be in but, she flipped back and forth so much. Cannot wait to read the next book!

The Catch is the second book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series. It can be read as a standalone. It does reference characters from the first book, so if you want to know more about them I recommend going back and reading the first book as well.

The Catch has a different feel than the first book (which is also good). This story is filled with suspense and a bit of mystery. It also has a different feel in the way the relationship plays out. I enjoyed the development of Paisley’s character and the contrast between the way she shaped herself as an adult and what she dealt with as a child. I also loved that this book is body positive!

I loved reading Paisley and Calvin’s story. I have loved reading this series so far, and this book didn’t disappoint it is just as good as he others, but definitely has its own twist. These books can be read as standalone but I suggest reading the others because they are all really good reads! I also enjoyed that some of the characters from the other stories show up in this one. This book is hot and steamy of course but it also had an element of suspense. I love how Paisley is such an independent, strong, and relatable woman. This is a must read to find out if Calvin can convince Paisley that a relationship can be a good thing. I highly recommend this wonderful story you won’t want to put down once you start reading.

5+++ Stars

First, What can I say about this author that I haven’t already said or that hasn’t already been said about her to stress just how much I appreciate her and absolutely love reading her words? She is amazing, awesome, brilliant, and every other positive descriptive word there is and one of the reasons for this is…this series deals with a lifestyle and lifestyles that I truly have no interest in knowing more about, I have no problem with any of them it’s just not for me and some of the subjects that Phoebe writes about normally do not keep my interest and I find my mind wandering instead of focussing on the reading..So with that said, in answer to what can I say about this author it is simple…She’s a flipping genius because I open these book full of these stories and i’m lost in her world till the very last word is read. How she does this I have no clue but my appreciation for her goes way way beyond words..

So now on to this story…I loved and completely understood and could relate with Paisley in this book to a point. I wish in my past I could have had half her strength and just a touch of her self esteem…She is awesome and has become one of my favorite leading ladies. Then there’s Calvin, sigh…… Again…another reason I loved this and most of this authors books is because you could actually see yourself being friends with the characters she writes because they are so so real, with real emotions and real struggles and I love this.

I loved the mystery and suspense in this story and some scenes were off the charts holy moly give me a bucket of ice water stat moments and I loved seeing Leah and Cap and check in on their continuing story…

I have so completely read these books out of order and that’s something I just have to work on but it in no way got in the way of each individual book…I love them all but I think down deep this one might just be my favorite of this series so far.

Thank you once again Miss Alexander 🙂

The Catch is technically the second book in the Fisher of Men series from Phoebe Alexander. It could be read as a standalone without confusion, but I promise that you won’t want to miss the first one! The books are fabulous. In fact, I may be a bit partial in the consideration that Phoebe is a one-click for me. I don’t ever question, I just buy when it comes to her novels, but she has never ever let me down, and this was no exception to the rule.

As with most of Alexander’s works there is a strong tie to body positivity among her lead female character, Paisley. Something we all could use a little more of in our lives. I loved Paisley, and learned a thing or two from her myself. I too am a curvy and vivacious woman, and I too have my own demons. I appreciated how Paisley handled hers and could relate to her on a very personal level.

Paisley has been on the run from her past for a long time now. Her current situation finds her helping out at “The Factory”, a local swingers club in a small Maryland town. Yes, I said swingers club, so if some spicy romance scenes are not your thing heads up, but really it is done with the utmost class and absolute realistic approach. Something rarely found in fiction related to alternative lifestyles

It is at this club that she meets Calvin. Where Paisley finds a comfort and release in the lifestyle Calvin does not. It is not something he disapproves of, he just doesn’t want to live the lifestyle. This is all well and good and leads to a good friendship between the two instead. At least until the twist you don’t see coming is thrown in their path. What will happen when these two are thrust together to protect Paisley from her past?

Fisher of Men, Eastern Shore Swingers Book One, is written by Phoebe Alexander, this isn’t the first time I read a book by the author and will state this start to this series was an amazing read. The story follows Leah, who works at a hotel, The Pearl, and was brought up by her Christian parents whom they wanted her to follow them with speaking the word of Christian faith. Once given a scholarship and the need to see more of the world she took a leap and decided to study at Cornell and take the job at the Pearl. Leah meets Cap, Chris at an event at the hotel, and soon they begin dating. Her faith is torn when she learns that the party he attended was a swinger’s party, and it’s a lifestyle that Cap leads. She learns that behind the lovely Ocean city lies a swinger’s secret club, her world, her heart, and her faith is tested.

I could NOT put this book down, the ups and down truly held me into this book. I could close my eyes and see Leah and Cap, I could close my eyes and feel the emotions, and I could feel like I was right there in Ocean City. The attention too much emotions and details was spot on. I really felt like I was a part of Caps and Leah’s little world. I truly enjoyed this book and highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a good erotic romance.

What a great book to start off this series!
Leah is introduced to a whole new lifestyle in Ocean City, Maryland, by a man she couldn’t help but falling in love with. Cap’s job as a charter fishing captain causes Leah concerns and he starts to question his career.
As her eyes are opened wide by Cap and The Factory, how does the war within battle between her faith and what she finds to enjoy?

I really loved this book, you could just feel the emotions with every page. This author never disappoints!

Fisher of Men is Book 1 in The Eastern Shore Swingers Series From author Phoebe Alexander. This was a brilliant steamy read that had you captivated totally compelled to read until the very end. This is a totally unique romance read.

Even with these books being part of a series, they can all be read and enjoyed as stand-alone. This is my first type Swingers themed read, and the synopsis was really intriguing, so I took the chance and I’m so glad I took it. I was learning about the lifestyle along with the main character Leah Miller. There are great details within this read, that make it even more captivating and intriguing.
I loved Leah & Chris ‘Cap’ Sheldon from the start, they have chemistry from the get-go that continues to grow throughout the read, but can Leah stop the struggle she has with herself between her religion and sexuality and follow her heart with Cap and her desires? I loved reading Cap and Leah’s story I loved watching them evolve and Leah experiencing and learning new things all the while having a strong, alpha male taking her along on the journey.

Along with the main characters we have some brilliant secondary characters that really stand out and help make this story progress further, and I can’t wait to read some of their stories.

This is a brilliant start to what I think will be an incredible series, with brilliant characters, steamy passionate relationships and epic storylines. I can’t wait to read the next.

4 stars!!!!

I have to say that as this is a slightly different romance genre than I am used to I was well impressed
by the authors creative way of bringing it to the reader. I admit it isn’t a lifestyle choice I would make
but I came into this book with a very opened mind and wasn’t disappointed.

The whole chemistry between Cap and Leah is definitely unique. I like how the author did get a bit
of drama written in. The whole religious conflict Leah feels I can so relate to with all be it a
slightly different situation but nonetheless it brought it home for me. I like how the author addressed
this with Mary. This book brings an alternative lifestyle to light and the author has a very refreshing
and unique way of dealing with the subject. I would probably read more of this series in the future
even though it is something I would never consider but I can always get lost is the books.

Fisher of Men by Phoebe Alexander a five-star read that will swing you round. This is the first book in the Eastern shore swingers series, and what a series, I did this one backwards and read the other books first then came back to the beginning, so I knew what to expect, hot, heavy and full of steam. What would you do if the man you fell in love with was the opposite of everything you have been led to believe, this one will have you wondering what choice would you make, would you have a hot a life if you did? Leah overall is a great character, but she did lack something, but where she meets Cap and them together, that is just pure magic, the chemistry is off the charts hot. This series starts with a bang and just gets better. I think this series may just be my favourite by this author, and this is a very strong story in the series.

I have to be honest- it took me a minute in the beginning to warm up to Leah and Cap. Leah just seemed a little stand offish and prim, and Cap kind of a player who thinks he knows better than her. I’m glad I stuck with them, though. They kind of grew on me by the end. For a very steamy start to a series, and a unique kind of romance, it was a slow build. There was a lot of self-reflection, and some serious drama near the end. This was one of those books that slowly turned into something I couldn’t put down, and now I really look forward to the next!

Fisher of Men was a great 5 star read and book one in the Eastern Shore Swingers series.

We have Leah who is an innocent in many ways, she is working as a Customer service person at a hotel. When she meets Cap at a party that she is working she is shocked to hear exactly what kind of party it is. Although, the lifestyle is a litte intriguing to her.

Leah ends up in a relationship with Cap. You go girl! We get some steamy scenes from them. I really enjoyed reading their story and there were some interesting twists that caused some issues for them. Will Leah be able to accept the lifestyle?

Leah was a little different, coming from a small town she was experiencing a lot of new things, and she was very hard working. Cap is of course in the lifestyle but when he saw Leah something about her drew him in. If he finds “the one” he would be willing to give up the lifestyle, will that be Leah? Can they have a HEA?

The secondary characters added a great element to the story. Phoebe has once again pulled me right in with her writing. I really like the quotes at the beginning of each chapter, they are great. The ending was great, I was a little nervous at first, I wasn’t sure exactly what was going to happen. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in the series, I need to see where things are going with these two.

Please Note: This is NOT a work of Christian Fiction. Readers 18+ please, as there are graphic depictions of people getting it on!

Fisher of Men by Phoebe Alexander is not a sweet clean romance church going people. As of matter of fact, there is more to the title which is Eastern Shore Swingers Book 1. So for me it was a little shocking what I was reading but I did like the book. Phoebe Alexander put a lot of time and details in this story. The female character, Leah has been raised in a Christian home. The lifestyle of Cap is interesting as she has never been in a relationship with a “swinger) before. Leah is a strong female character and she is trying to be a “good little Christian girl” but she really wants to try the other lifestyle that Cap will take her into. Will Leah go with Cap or will she keep him at arm’s length as his roles and beliefs are different than his?

With a strong sense of justice and an unwavering desire to help those around her, she never felt more fulfilled than she did in uniform. When the Sheldons asked her to keep an eye on one of their swing club members, she was more than happy to oblige. But she found it impossible to keep an eye on Sirena without her heart wanting in on the action…not to mention other parts of her body.

Sirena Horne used the local swing club, The Factory, as an escape. She knew Jessie meant well, but there was no way she was opening herself to any more heartache than she already carried. She’d have to be pretty desperate to reveal her secrets, but damn, Jessie did have a way about her. Sirena wasn’t sure how much longer she could keep her walls from tumbling down.

This is Book 3 of The Eastern Shore Swingers Series. All books are standalones. Readers 18+ due to graphic language and adult situations.

There’s a secret club in Ocean City, Maryland, where swingers from all over the mid-Atlantic converge every weekend to frolic and play in its many themed rooms. Welcome to the Factory, where in the midst of all the fun, there’s always a romance blossoming, sometimes where you least expect it. You know what they say: everything’s hotter at the beach!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fisher of Men is the first book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series. It can be read as a standalone.

The first few chapters of the book seemed like they were taking forever to get through. The pace seemed slow and drawn out. BUT, when things start progressing with Leah and Cap, the story picked up and had me hooked. I had a marathon reading session and finished the book in a day.

One of the things that kept me interested is probably the fact that I can relate to the internal struggle, both regarding faith and the emotional aspect, that Leah goes through as she begins to unravel the structure she has been taught is the truth and proper way of living. It is emotionally strenuous to find out things about yourself that go against what you’ve been taught is proper. Add to that the input of outside sources and you’ve got a recipe for drama and heartache. Rewriting your belief system is not for the faint of heart. And not everyone has the strength to do it. Does Leah have what it takes to go after what she truly wants? Ride this emotional roller coaster with her and find out!

Even though I had a rocky start with this book, it turned out to be a spectacular read. I am glad that I gave it a chance and stuck with it.

I have been reading this series out of order and I’m so glad to finally get to Leah and Cap’s story. First of all, I read a “warning” somewhere that said “This is NOT a Christian Romance” – I appreciate whoever wrote that because in the first few pages, that’s exactly what I thought I was going to be reading. (I had not read the warning before hand) There is a very strong religious “tone” in this story that, at times, had me scratching my head about where it was trying to lead me.

This is a story of conflicts. Where do one’s beliefs come from and how much influence does the religion of our childhood gel with the religion of our adulthood. An interesting premise. As we follow the story from beginning to end, we see the MC allow herself to be pulled in different directions depending on who she is talking to. “I hate feeling like I am a bad Christian or a hypocrite, you know?”.

I have a hard time with the characters. Initially I didn’t like Leah very much. There was just something about her that rubbed me the wrong way. She was a lovely people pleaser who always put others needs before her own. She has an immaturity about her that belies her age. For someone who is so “worldly” in the ways a business runs she sure was innocent about the world. “…swingers? It seemed like a mythical construct to her like Santa Claus or Bigfoot, instead of the real thing. hahahaha Cap is a strong, domineering man that I felt was a little too strong handed and almost whiny.

While this was not my favorite book of the series, I appreciate the tale the author weaves. Perhaps if I had read this story ANY other time than October of 2018, I would have had a completely different reaction to it. Which is why I’ve rated it the way I did. The author does a fantastic job of telling a story that has meaning, depth and weight to it while setting up the rest of the series. Nice job!!

Fisher of Men (Eastern Shore Swingers #1) by Phoebe Alexander. This is the first book of this type I’ve read. I enjoyed it even though it was out of my comfort zone. It’s the story of Leah Miller a good Christian girl brought up in a very religious home. She has worked really hard and become the Assistant General Manager of The Pearl one of Ocean City’s nicest Hotels. During a party at The Pearl Leah meets Chris “Cap” Sheldon a Charter Fishing Captain and sparks instantly fly. Cap is very free sexually and Leah is not. Can the two come together, can Leah become more adventurous or can Cap settle down for Leah. Leah’s faith is so strong can she reconcile with this lifestyle or will Cap give it up because he’s fallen for Leah. This was a very sweet, sexy story.

Fisher of Men (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 1) by Phoebe Alexander
5 out of 5 stars

I do not give out a lot of 5 stars. A book must really touch my soul, be incredibly well written, and/or have an a major impact on me to get 5 stars from me. This book has more than earned the 5 stars. Fisher of Men is an erotic romance novel, it’s erotic in the sense and there are some very raunchy parts in it but it’s not as graphic as a blue movie from www.fulltube.xxx. This first in this series and it came crashing through the front door. Leah Miller, daughter of a Preacher Man (Praise Be to Aretha) was raised in a very conservative, Christian household. I would almost call it claustrophobic with its rules and regulations. But instead of following in the parent chosen life, she branched out into Hotel Management and took a job on the East Coast with a hotel called, The Pearl, where she figured she would learn about how the rest of the world live. There she meets and falls for a man aptly named Cap, or Capt Chris Sheldon, who, after attending one of the famous parties hosted by The Pearl, she learns…is a swinger.

This plot, while extreme, has some very relatable characters. Leah and Chris are both very loveable and extreme fun. Chris is super hot. I pictured a Chris Hemsworth look alike in my head, but I also can admit to a small obsession with the Aussie. Ms Alexander has done an incredible job keeping the reader engaged, yet not rushing the story. Her book is both complex, yet delicate in its simplicity that it is a love story. This book is highly recommended for readers of romance, erotic stories and just fans of Phoebe Alexander.
