My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Catch by Phoebe Alexander is book two of the Eastern Shore Swingers Series. This book can be read as a standalone. This book is really intended for readers 18+ due to subject content. I was pleasantly surprised to find out when I started reading that this book is pretty suspenseful. It definitely adds some layers to the book that really keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to find out what happens.

As with book one, this book invites you to join the characters at a very specific type of club and the book really does a great job detailing the club and it’s activities so you feel like you’re right there. Paisley is very self-assured. She draws people in with that trait. She manages to draw Calvin in and it’s truly the last thing she wants. Relationships aren’t for her and she stands pretty firm on that. Will Paisley be able to rely on someone other than herself when he past comes back when she least expects it? Will Calvin be able to protect Paisley and convince her of their future?

Paisley doesn’t avoid relationships for no good reason. She tries to stand her ground as a way to protect Calvin just as Calvin is protective of her. I really enjoyed the depth the characters had and the chemistry between them. Paisley felt so real. She was flawed but she was aware of it and knew it was something she needed to work on for herself. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next book.

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

The Catch by Phoebe Alexander is the second book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series and follows Paisley and Calvin’s relationship but will a blast from Paisley’s past be the downfall.

Paisley has moved from New York to be the Assistant Manager of “The Factory” in Ocean City but will her past stay there or will it follow her to this new start. Calvin is a 26 year old computer geek and is asked to create a website for “The Factory” but he is not prepared for the whirlwind that is Paisley Parker.

Paisley has had a not so great childhood, so she ran away to New York and ended up with a job as an Event Planner, she then interviewed for the job she now is in but her past has caught up with her but life has its own way of putting things in the way as she is looking for a person to set up the new website she runs into Calvin who is the total package and is handsome to boot.

Calvin falls for Paisley as soon as she walks into his office, the only thing is he has to try and convince her that he is the right person for her. After breaking through the will power he succeeds but something happens which has them afraid to go any further.

I loved the twist and turn of the story and the chemistry between the two main characters jumped off the page. I especially enjoyed the sassy nature of Paisley and felt that this character was so relate able that I fell in love with the character from the first couple of chapters. The story is well written and this is not the first book I have read by this author, Phoebe still keeps the stories fresh and real.

This book can be read as a stand alone but it would be good to read the other novels in this series to get to know there stories to. I can’t wait to read more books in this series.

Fisher of MenFisher of Men by Phoebe Alexander
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!

The Catch (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 2)
By Phoebe Alexander
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.

The Catch by Phoebe Alexander is the second installment of the Eastern Shore Swingers series. It is a romantic suspense about Paisley Parker and Calvin Mitchell. Paisley moved to Ocean City, Maryland recently and she manages The Factory, a local alternative lifestyle club. She needs to hire a web developer in order to make a website for the club when she meets Calvin, a tall, dark and handsome, computer geek. Calvin is instantly attracted and wants Paisley in any way possible. Paisley doesn’t do committed relationships, she prefers her frequent hookups. Paisley’s past comes back to haunt and she must turn to Calvin for help. Will Calvin be able to protect her? Will he be able to change Paisley’s view on relationships? I enjoyed the characters in this book. Both are very confident and comfortable with their beliefs and with the alternative lifestyle presented in the book. I recommend reading the first book in the series so you can become familiar with some of the characters that appear in this story. I look forward to reading more books from Phoebe Alexander.

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 CatchThe Catch by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Catch by Phoebe Alexander is the 2nd book in The Eastern Shore Swingers Series. It follows on from Fisher of Men but can be read as a stand-alone. Fisher of Men totally blew me away as it was nothing like anything I’d ever read before and The Catch is no different. Set around a swinger club you would expect a lot of sex in the book, but the sex scenes are totally of the charts HOT. My eyes have been totally opened by this series of books. There is so much more to the swinger lifestyle than I even knew possible.
This story centres around Assistant Manager of the club (The Factory) Paisley Parker and Calvin Mitchell who she hires to design a website for the club. Paisley is a larger than life character in many ways. She is a larger lady who is so comfortable in her own body. I have to say that I admire Paisley so much for her attitude towards her larger body. She’s very much ‘if you’ve got it, flaunt it’. Paisley has a troubled past and has moved away from home and changed her name to start her life afresh.
Calvin is very much the opposite to Paisley. Son of an African American father and white mother, Calvin had a fantastic childhood, brought up in a loving family. Calvin is very much a gentleman with impeccable manners and has no interest in being involved in the lifestyle.
When someone from Paisley’s past contacts her to blackmail her through the website that Calvin created, the 2 are forced together. Both are attracted to each other but whereas Calvin is looking for a monogamous relationship, Paisley doesn’t do relationships and is actively involved in the lifestyle and enjoys having several sexual partners with no strings attached.
This is an amazing story filled with drama and intrigue as they try to get to the bottom of who is blackmailing Paisley and threatening the club. The growing relationship between Paisley and Calvin is filled with so much angst. Although they are so different you can’t help but pray that they can resolve their differences and have a happily ever after.
I loved this book as much as the first book in the series and I’m now looking forward to diving into book 3, Siren Call.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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?

Siren Call (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 3)
By: Phoebe Alexander
5 out of 5 stars

The story Siren Call (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 3) by Phoebe Alexander is a wonderful romance book that I loved reading. It is one that hooks you in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to stop reading until I had finished the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Jessie Martinez and Sirena Home. Jessie is a police officer. She has a good heart and feels the need to protect others. That need now applies to Sirena Home. Sirena is a woman who is trying to escape her life. She has those at the club worried about her safety and Jessie agrees to try to watch out of her. When Jessie agrees to keep an eye on Sirena she had no idea that the woman would make her feel the way that she does. It is electric when they touch and the sparks fly. Sirena, however, has secrets that she is keeping. Will Jessie get Sirena to trust her with her secrets? Jessie at first thinks that Sirena is just a summer fling. She is finding that her emotions/feelings for Sirena are stronger than she realized. Will both Jessie and Sirena learn to trust each other with their hearts? Read this story to find out. This story is one that includes an alternative lifestyle and does so in a way that is tasteful and non-judgmental. I enjoyed reading about the other characters that are in the story. Many of them have been brought forward from the first two books in the series and I felt like I was keeping in touch with friends. The characters give you a feeling that they are all family and that you are home with them. This is a wonderfully written story that I would definitely recommend reading. The book does have adult language and situations and would be for an audience of those over the age of 18. There are some steamy scenes included both behind closed doors and in the club.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fisher of Men was my first book by Phoebe Alexander and it was worth of 3.5 stars out of 5. I have a like/dislike relationship with this book, it was the one subject of the book that drew me in but the other subject wasn’t something I normally read about and because of that I didn’t feel a connection with the female lead. The writing was well written but I have to admit some of Leah’s backstory I skipped over and I didn’t care for the scriptures at the beginning every chapter. I did like that Mrs. Alexander took a chance at showing two different people from totally different worlds coming together and building a relationship. You don’t see too many romance books take this big of a risk in its subject matters.

But this book isn’t going to stop me from reading the other books in this series. Like I said, one subject matter caught my eye and I would like to see where Mrs. Alexander takes the other stories within this club.

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.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW!! What can I say about Fisher Of Men by Phoebe Alexander? Fisher Of Men is the first book in The Eastern Shore Swingers Series and what an opener to the series it is. This book is on fire it’s that hot.
Fisher Of Men tells us the story of Chris ‘Cap’ Sheldon and Leah Miller. Chris and Leah couldn’t be any more different it they tried. 27 year old Leah had a very strict religious upbringing in Nebraska, being the daughter of a minister. She has very firm religious beliefs. She is now working as a manager in an upscale hotel ‘The Pearl’ in Ocean City. It is while working at a charity event in the hotel that she first meets Cap. Cap is a 42 year old, divorcee who runs a fishing business. Leah discovers that Cap and all those attending the charity event are swingers. As much as she’s attracted to Cap (who can’t love his amazing blue eyes and dimples?) swinging goes against everything that she believes in.
What follows is a beautifully written story of Leah’s sexual awakening. We can really see her struggles with her religious beliefs and by how turned on and exhilarated she feels by watching and participating in sexual encounters with several people at a time. It also shows us how 2 people with such different backgrounds and beliefs can overcome everything to find true love.
I must add that this book is definitely for a mature audience due to the sexually explicit content. I have to say that the sex scenes in this book were hotter than anything I’ve ever read.
This isn’t the first time I’ve read work by this author and I have to say that I’m becoming a huge fan. If this first book in the series is anything to go by then I can’t wait to read the rest of this series. I already have books 2 & 3 waiting on my kindle for me to dive into.

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 give Fisher of Men (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 1) by Phoebe Alexander, 5 stars.

Leah Miller was born and raised in a very religious family. Her parents raised her to finish school, get married, and have children, all while keeping in her faith. But she doesn’t feel like this is her. So she sets out to be her own woman. Then she ends up in Ocean City, Maryland and meets a man that I changes the way she sees things. He is very open with his sexuality. This is new to her, and exciting at the same time. But what about her faith? This is the opposite from everything she was ever taught? Is it okay be free and open or is it a sin?

This is the beginning of the Eastern Shore Swingers series, so this story has lots of sex and multiple people having sex. Although Leah is very religious, this is not a book about religion. Okay, now that the formalities are over, I will give you my opinion. I loved it!!! Yes, there are a lot of hot and steamy scenes, but that is not what makes this book. It’s the characters that really make it!! Leah and Chris are so much fun. Yes, they struggle, and they each have issues. But they are so real and know how to love and have fun too. The things that happen in this book will keep you reading until the very end. I thought this book was so enjoyable and entertaining, I cannot wait to read more in this 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.

Fisher of Men by Phoebe Alexander is the first installment of the Eastern Shore Swingers series. This book is contemporary romance and touches on the subject of swinging couples. This story is about Leah Miller and Chris Sheldon a.k.a. Cap. Leah grew up in a small town to religious parents and she decided to spread her wings by attending Cornell University and study Hospitality Management. She is currently an assistant manager at The Pearl in Ocean City. While working at the hotel, she meets Cap, who is attending a private party. Cap is a charter fishing captain in Ocean City and also is part of an alternative lifestyle. She is very intrigued and attracted to Cap but she is not sure about his lifestyle due to her upbringing and beliefs. Will Cap and Leah find common ground or will their difference in opinions stop them from being in a relationship? You would have to read this story to find out! I enjoyed reading Cap and Leah’s story and how their relationship evolves around Leah’s beliefs and how she can work around it to open up to Cap and his alternative lifestyle. Cap is a very persuasive Alpha male that knows his way into a woman’s heart and panties. I recommend this book and look forward to reading the next book in the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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?

Fisher of Men (The Eastern Shore Swingers #1) by Phoebe Alexander was a hot, steamy read that was fun as hell to read.

Not my first read by this author or in this series. They read as stand-a-lone, so no worries about reading them out of order, which, I have been doing. What can I say, I don’t like to conform.. ahaha. just kidding, or am I.. okay this book got me all in a weird mood, and frankly, I got all these good feels going on, and I’m going to unleash them on you.

I have to say, to finally read the first book, was nice, because a series has to start somewhere. It’s always a treat to read about the start and how things came to be, and when you meet the characters in other books, reading their origin story makes it all the more fun and juicy. This book really sets the stage for the rest of this series and reading about Leah, and how much she changed, was something else.

Man oh man, this book is, wow. I mean, you need to go into this series with a open mind, but this book. Wow. I’m kicking myself for not reading it sooner. Oh why am I all up in arms about this book.. well my friends, I’m not going to tell you cause there is just so much that needs to be experance for the first time, that telling you anything will ruin that delightful experience. I will say that you will love the easy writing style, the smooth transition and the hot, steamy smut that will cure your toes and have you reaching for a cold drink.

Overall this book/series is a must read. It will tear you out of your comfort zone, much like Leah, and have you wanting more. This book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval…. so common read it, you might just like it…

Happy Reading

Jessie wants to protect the club and Sirena–but most of all, her heart.
Sirena thinks her heart is beyond repair.
There’s a reason hearts are kept in cages…

Jessie Martinez knew she wanted to be a cop from the time she was a little girl. 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!

Book 1: Fisher of Men (Cap and Leah’s Story)

Book 2: The Catch (Calvin and Paisley’s Story)

Book 3: Siren Call (Jessie and Sirena’s Story)

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.

Fisher of Men (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 1)
By Phoebe Alexander
I was definitely intrigued by the synopsis of this book. I enjoyed reading about Leah Miller and Chris “Cap” Sheldon, their chemistry is off the charts. I really liked how the author portrayed the conflict Leah was struggling with between her religion and her sexuality. I thought both of the characters were really strong in their own ways along with some of the supporting characters in this story. I enjoyed learning more about the swingers lifestyle, to be honest I really had no idea what it was really about, I had only heard the term but without much detail. I think Phoebe did an excellent job with her detail and descriptions of the lifestyle and setting of this story. I found myself rooting for these two, hoping they can find a way to work through the issues and be together. You must read if you want to find out if they end up together. This is the first book in this series and I can’t wait to read the next. I highly recommend this book, keep in mind that this is an adult book.

Fisher Of Men
(Eastern Shore Swingers Series, book one)
Phoebe Alexander
5 out of 5 stars

Fisher of Men is the first book in the stand alone Eastern Shore Swingers Series by Phoebe Alexander. This is the second book I’ve read in this series but I’m not new to Ms. Alexander’s work, I’ve started sampling some of her other series! I haven’t met a Phoebe Alexander book I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed yet and Fisher Of Men is no exception.
I read the third book in the Eastern Shore Series first so seeing where it all began in this book was a real treat, I recognized some names- Rhonda, Casey and of course Leah and Cap. By the end of the book I was left craving more and ready to go on with the series.
When you read the about the author segment for Phoebe Alexander it mentions that she writes sex positive, body positive stories and if you’re not familiar with her work yet, this couldn’t be more accurate. Each story I’ve read has had a captivating erotic theme while bringing a great, strong storyline along with it. Each of the characters I’ve “met” so far are strong and stand their ground. Leah was able to discover her true self whether it was in her relationship, sexuality or her faith and I think it shows true talent to have such a balanced storyline where there is no lack of entertainment in any area. So many times you read a book where a woman may not stand her ground right away and once Leah’s mind was made, it was made. In the same respect, Leah is the type of character that can keep a level head and really see things from different perspectives admitting fault when necessary. I really respected her character and look forward to seeing how she grows more throughout the series. As far as the storyline goes, the serendipity tie in this book is what truly sealed the deal for me!
My very first experience with “the lifestyle” and Phoebe Alexander’s writing was in the Juniper Court series book, Project Paradise. While this book has nothing to do with how incredible Fisher Of Men is, it opened me to a new genre of books, led me to this series, and honestly created a new fan of this author.
