My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Eight Steps by Taylor Sullivan is my first book that I have read by Taylor Sullivan and I was not disappointed. Eight steps is a friendship that turns into a love story between two friends Elliot and Fe Porto. Elliot and Fe have been friends and roommates for years. Fe only has a few weeks to turn Elliot into this hot macho guy and has these eight steps for him to follow to make him this way. Along this journey they learn more about each other and fall in love. This book will keep you hooked and you will not be disappointed. Elliot is such an awesome guy we all hope to fall for and Fe is your girl next door, best friend. The characters in this book were relatable and really fun to read about. I would love to read more about this duo. I will definitely read more books by Taylor Sullivan. This book is a must to add to your TBR Pile 🙂

My first book by Taylor Sullivan couldn’t have had a better start! Eight Steps to Alpha is predictable in the way you would expect a friends to lovers story to be. However, the actual plot, turning a “nerd” into an “alpha” is something you don’t read about every day. I believe Elliot and most men have a little bit of nerd and a little bit of alpha already in them. Sullivan just had Fe show Elliot how he could be all that he was meant to be.

This story was easy and fun to read. I look forward to reading more from Sullivan.

5-stars

“All I’m afraid of right now, is that some other guy will get to be your John Wayne before I do.”

My Heart! Oh, My goodness my heart! I can’t get rid of this smile on my face! Eight Steps to Alpha is the first book in Taylor Sullivan’s Nerdy by Nature series and it’s one incredible start. This is not my first book by this author, but it certainly is my favorite. This is one of the best friends to lovers romance reads I’ve ever read, even though I knew what was going to happen I still felt so invested in their story and had me strongly rooting for them.

I honestly loved everything about this book, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for their next romance read, it’s one that should not be missed. I can’t wait to read more from this phenomenal author as soon as possible!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Eight Steps to Alpha by Taylor Sullivan had all the promise of a cute little rom-com, but it fell flat as it relied on sexist themes. I really wanted to enjoy this book that is a slow born, friends to lovers. But the premise of making the nice guy into a misogynistic meany to get a girl, seemed rather backwards. I liked Elliot before the transformation and his relationship to Fe. I thought he was a great guy and don’t know why he had such a ‘woe is me’ mentality, because he couldn’t get one girl. A woman that was his superior at work, and wants to work professionally with her colleagues. I think Sullivan had the best intention when writing this novel, to put a spin on the classic Cinderella trope, and focus on changing a guy into the fantasy of women; but it missed the mark for me. An alpha male isn’t my fantasy. Elliot before the change being nerdy, athletic, kind, and squeaky clean is my kind of jam. Guys that are rude to women, get into fights for no reason, aren’t the type of men anyone needs in this day and age. Personally I would have preferred a more 10 things I hate about you approach, where Elliot was changed from an alpha, to a well-rounded gentleman that makes grand gestures of love whilst singing ‘I love you baby’ by Frankie Valli. Granted in saying all this, I still enjoyed the simple cute moments between Elliot and Fe. Just watching their friendship grow was adorable to read, and really had me savoring those moments, before they were swept away. I gave Eight Steps to Alpha 3/5 stars.

While I loved the premise of this book, I couldnt help but feel something was missing from the whole story for me. I love friends to lovers books and that was a huge draw in for me, it just fell short, to me.
I loved the friendship between these two, they had a great relationship but it just, in some spots, felt forced to be together.
Overall it was a good story, and I did get some laughs in as well.
Would read another book by this author.

Eight Steps to Alpha (Nerdy by Natire #1)
By Taylor Sullivan
Rated 5 stars

A new favorite! This is such an enjoyable story. Elliott and Fe have been roomies for five years. They are both nerdy in their own way. Fe is a book worm. Elliott is a classic gamer. They work well together but Elliott has found a woman he is interested in. The problem is she doesn’t notice he is alive. Fe decided to help him and make him a man women can’t help but notice. These characters made me laugh more than once. Their antics and characterization were a delight to read. Fe is only trying to help but can she help him too much? When feelings get involved how much will things change?

Taylor Sullivan hit this book out of the park. I couldn’t stop reading so be prepared for a late night. I laughed and smirked generally had a good time with these two. If you enjoy romantic comedy with a little twist give this one a shot. Thoroughly enjoyable! I look forward to the next in the series!!

PS. Loved the cover! I can totally see Elliott in him!

Eight Steps to Alpha is the first book in the Nerdy by Nature series by Taylor Sullivan. This was a fun read, with lots of laughs along the way, as I followed this friends to lovers story.
Elliot Prescott is a nice guy, a real lovable nerd, who is tired of not getting female attention. He works out, has a great job, he’s nice, reliable, looks after himself, and well presented- so he just can’t figure out why he can never ‘get the girl’. Elliot has a certain woman he’d like to catch the attention of, and has a month while she’s out of town to try to become more of a ‘catch’. He enlists the help of his best friend and roommate, Fe Porto, who suggests that women these days love more of an Alpha male. So, Elliot decides that if that’s what women want, then that’s what he’ll become. Fe comes up with a list of 8 ‘steps’ that Elliot will have to take in order to become the Alpha Male of woman’s fantasies. What ensues is a funny, charming, touching, and highly entertaining romp as these two work their way through the steps.
But what happens when a kiss changes everything? Will these two finally see what’s been in front of them the whole time? Will Elliot get the girl of his dreams? All is revealed in this quirky, witty and original book.
Highly entertaining reading!

Thank you, Ms. Sullivan!

Eight Steps To Alpha: A Nerdy by Nature Novel by Taylor Sullivan is a fun and exciting story that you won’t be able to stop reading.
For me this was an “in-one-sitting” book. Once I had started I couldn’t put this book down. Fe and Elliot are are brilliant characters. They had me laughing my way through this book they were so entertaining.
The overall story was great as well. The book fight lighthearted and fun but still had good substance to it. This was a new author for me but I will be looking into more of her work ASAP!

Eight Steps to Alpha: A Nerdy by Nature Novel
By: Taylor Sullivan
5 out of 5 stars

The story Eight Steps to Alpha: A Nerdy by Nature Novel by Taylor Sullivan is a contemporary romance book. It grabbed my attention from the very beginning and I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had finished the last page. I loved reading about the characters of Elliot Prescott and Fe Porto. Elliot and Fe are roommates and best friends. Elliot is a man that falls under the label of the nice guy. He often wonders why he can’t be the one to get the girl. He is caring and kind. He wants to change how he is seen. He is sure his bestie Fe can help him with this. Fe is a woman who is not looking for a relationship at this time. She is content with her life the way it is. So why can’t she stop thinking of the surprise and out of the normal kiss that she shared with Elliot? Fe has a plan. Eight steps that will make Elliot an Alpha Male and the one to get the girl. While these two tell themselves that they are in the friend zone and that they don’t want to lose that friendship, they both can’t stop thinking about the other. There are emotions starting and I found that these two spend a large amount of their time trying to deny what is happening between them. One kiss turns into more and the attraction between them is undeniable. Will Fe and Elliot finally stop denying their attraction to each other? The reason and wanted result from this experiment are that Elliot gets the girl. Which girl will he end up with? Will there be a happy ending? Read this book to find out. I found myself smiling at the playful banter and horse play that accompany Elliot and Fe’s friendship. There are some humorous moments. Elliot and Fe are two characters that I grew to love with each chapter that I read. There are some heartwarming moments and ones when you I was thinking “Aww.” This is a wonderfully written story that I would highly recommend reading.

This is a fast paced New Adult story that I couldn’t put down until the end, I was pulled in from the beginning. The story was easy flowing and engaging. The characters are both lovable and relatable. They made me laugh and they are best friends. I enjoyed this story plot, Fe and Elliot have only a month to turn him into hot, sexy alpha like we read in books. Is it possible? Could fate have other plans for them? I highly recommend you read this book to find out!
