The first chapter had me hooked and wanting to keep reading more. As I continued reading I did not want to put the book down. All throughout the book it kept my interest and never got boring. The book was incredible to say the least. I would suggest this book to anyone. It was detailed and entertaining. Eight steps by Taylor Sullivan is a book that I would read over and over again.

Eight Steps by Taylor Sullivan is Book 1 in the Nerdy by Nature Series, and a friends to lovers romance. These are some of my favorite stories, the friends to lovers never grow old to me, because you get to watch the relationship blossom. These characters were like friends you were sad to leave, when the book was over. This is the first book I have read by this author and I really enjoyed the character development and the story line. I would definitely read more books by this author, and I give this book a solid 4 stars.

Eight Steps by Taylor Sullivan is not a difficult book to predict. You know how it’s going to end (that’s one reason why I picked it) but that doesn’t ruin the joy of the journey. It’s books like this that make me remember why the romance genre is much needed in my world. I love to sit back and escape my life for a little while and this book helped me accomplish that easily. I was swept away by the easy flow of the writing, the story line that made me smile more times than I ever could have imagined and the characters, Elliot and Fe who actually made me cry a little. Being somewhat of a nerd myself, I could relate to these two and I appreciated that. This book is perfect if you want to recharge for a bit, if you want to change genres for a while or are just looking for something to brighten up your day.

Eight Steps is a quirky, funny friends to lovers story which definitely deserves 5 stars in my opinion. This book had me hooked from the very beginning and I laughed so much when reading it. Best friends and room-mates Elliot Prescott and Fe Porto are both super nerdy and have a friendship that everyone would be jealous of. When Elliot confesses that he likes a woman at work who doesn’t notice him, Fe comes up with a plan to turn him into a hot alpha male in 4 weeks – An eight step plan. Reading the antics of Fe trying to turn, super sweet but super nerdy Elliot into an alpha male will have you in stitches. Not giving any spoilers but I will say that the dressing room scene when she tries to update his wardrobe is hilarious. The story flows really well and you will fall more and more in love with these two as the book progresses. There is also a great deal of angst as Elliot and Fe start to see each other in a different light as the plan unfolds. This just makes the story more enjoyable. Thoroughly enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it.

Give me the nerds and the best friends and I’ll be instantly hooked!
There was nothing about this book I didn’t like and I’m legit dying for more from Miss. Sullivan! I feel like Elliot is a Clark Kent. The nerd that no one looks at. He works out and is good looking but everyone oversees him. He has in mind the woman he wants to snag and she’ll be out of town for a month so he wants to be different when she gets back so he enlists his BFF and roommate Fe for help. She designs a program to help him out (an 8 step program) but it all goes to hell when one kiss happens and everything is up in the air.
This was the light hearted, funny, nerdy read I needed. This was the perfect weekend – escape – from – life – read everyone needs!

Eight Steps, by Taylor Sullivan, is a friends to lovers romance. This coming of age/contemporary romance is an engaging story featuring two roommates that are also best friends. The unexpected occurs in this story and their dynamic begins to change. Elliot and Fe are magnetic in their friendship and the story flows at a reasonable pace. I found Fe’s character charming and willing to go that extra step for her best friend to turn his life around. Elliot was cute, I found him to be endearing and just wanted to hug him! The characters were fun, the story line was fulfilling and you could feel the chemistry where it needed to be. Overall, this was a solid story that was great to read!

Eight Steps, A Friends To Lovers Romance, by Taylor Sullivan
5-stars
Eight Steps by Taylor Sullivan was a sweet romance where main characters Elliot and Fe form a plan to help Elliot become an Alpha Male and catch the eye of his gorgeous boss, Mary. They didn’t expect to fall for each other in the process and to discover so many different secrets in the process. I loved how nerdy the two were and how they also embraced learning new things to help Elliot become alpha. Elliot cleaned up well and the hot hunk underneath came out. At times I wanted to beat Fe with a stick for some of her decisions but it definitely made for a good story.

Eight Steps: A Friends to Lovers Romance by Taylor Sullivan. This is the first book I’ve read by Taylor Sullivan but it will not be my last.

Elliot is not so sure and all the while this is going on they share a couple of kisses along the way and can’t stop thinking about each other. Will Elliot finally realize that what he wants is right in front of his eyes and can he convince Fe that she really does want a relationship. Read Eight Steps to find out!

Eight Steps: A Friend to Lovers Romance By Taylor Sullivan
I enjoyed this friends to lovers read, I thought it was fun and had great characters. Elliot and Fe are roommates and best friends and Elliot is a nice guy and a bit nerdy. Fe has decided that they are going to make him an alpha male in eight steps, and it’s a lot of fun to read about all the banter these two have. I had to keep reading to find out if these two were ever going to admit their feelings for each other or is Elliot going to get the girl that he wants to notice him? This book was fun and entertaining I recommend this romantic story.

Eight Steps to Alpha is book 1 in the Nerdy by Nature series by Taylor Sullivan and a first for me by this author. Elliot wants to get a girl in his office to notice him so he goes to his best friend Fe for help. Fe takes on the task of changing Elliot from a nice nerdy guy into a hot alpha male. But will the plan backfire on them and spark something between Fe and Elliot?
This was hilarious sweet friends to loves book. I laugh from the beginning to the end of this book; Fe and Elliott were sweet and lovable. I can’t wait to see if there is going to be more books in this series. If you’re looking for a good romantic comedy, you need to pick up this book.

Eight Steps is a deliciously intense love story by Taylor Sullivan. A story that just left me breathless and desperate for more. As far as friends to lovers romances go, this was one of the best I have read. So riveting was these words, I read it in one go. These characters were so endearing, so charismatic, it was hard to put their story down.
Elliott and Fe were best friends. Dorky Elliott was thrust into Fe’s hands to give him a new look. The almost non existent flame of arousal, passion and realisation was slow moving, the tension was so palpable, it was felt long after the book ended. So intense, every muscle in my body was pulled taut, ready to snap at any moment. If you love slow intensity love stories, then this story is one you must read. NOW. A riveting, emotional tale of exquisite discovery and soul deep feelings of love. 5 stars.

Eight Steps by Taylor Sullivan a five-star read that will help you get your nerd on. This is the first novel in the Nerdy by Nature series and the next needs to be here. This should come with a warning, do not drink while reading as you are likely to spit it out, I laughed so hard I wore my drink. I got my copy after the re-edit and it was great, it showed us how bad editing can ruin a great book after reading some of the other earlier reviews. I knew I wanted to read this as I adored another book by this author, and I am glad I did as it was so much better. Elliot was great, he had a great charm about him and when you get to know him, he will clearly become a fave new book boyfriend.

A romantic comedy for the win! Eight Steps to Alpha is A Friends to Lovers Romance by Taylor Sullivan. This book was so cute I couldn’t put it down! Fe (the element for iron) is a science teacher’s assistant. Elliot is her roommate of 4 years and best friend of 5 years. There has never been any romantic chemistry between them. That is…until now. Elliot is enamored by a co-worker, Mary and want to get her to notice him. Fe devises a plan so that in 8 simple steps, Mary will be putty at his feet. What Fe didn’t plan is that during this process, Elliot and she would become closer than they ever have. With the push of their family and friends, things shift for these two and what ends up happening is magical. I will be a bit of spoiler and say that this is a happy ever after book. But, it’s the journey that makes this book so great! I loved this story and the way that this author writes is really awesome. The words flowed like they should, which caused me not to be able to put the book down. There were so many funny parts, frustrating parts and a few sexy scenes that were smoking hot. I loved the banter between the two main characters and then the interaction of the secondary characters made me fall in love with the book even more. This is a definite recommendation and I cannot wait to read more books from this author!

Eight Steps to Alpha was a fun 4 star read. This is a good friends to lovers romance.
Elli wants a certain someone to notice him, so he asks his best friend Fe to help him. He wants to be just like the men in the books Fe reads, an alpha. They have a month to get him ready, will they be successful? Can he get the girl he wants?
I’m tired of being the nice guy. I want to be that guy. The guy they have fantasies about. Just once. Elli
Fe creates a list of steps for Elli to complete. I had so many LOL moments as these two went through the steps. Something else starts to happen as well, they are starting to feel a connection that is drawing them even closer. Will they realize the connection before it’s too late?
Overall I really enjoyed this book. I really liked both Elli and Fe, the secondary characters were good also. Taylor Sullivan does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. Watching the friendship grow through the story was great, you felt like you were right there with them. I look forward to reading more from Taylor.

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.

“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!

Eight Steps was a fun and entertaining read that I really enjoyed. I have read a couple of books by this author now and I always find her writing really easy to read and my attention is always held from beginning to end. I thought that Elliot was a great character, a really nice person and I liked him even if he was a ‘nerd’! I really enjoyed watching as he tried to transform himself into an alpha all to catch the eye of a girl he likes! I wasn’t sure I was going to like Fe, I wondered if she was going to be pushy but I actually kind of liked her – there was some chemistry between the two and they had good banter between them. Maybe the story was a little predictable but I still found it very entertaining, funny, heart-warming and all round good read. I would definitely recommend Eight Steps as a great 4 star read!

It is certainly a novel you can chill out with, with a cheeky glass of wine i mean tea haha.

Eight Steps: A friends to lovers romance by Taylor Sullivan was a fun book to read. The easy going Elliot and the not as easy going Fe are best friends and roommates and everything was great until one night and them having too much to drink. I know I have had some nights that ended was too much drinking and too many regrets.
I loved the sweetness of Elliot and how much of a Southern gentleman he is, but what would you expect from a man from Texas. He takes such good care of Fe, my husband is good but not as good as Elliot is with his best friend.
Fe really wants to help him find happiness and is willing to do just about anything to help him find it including help him with someone else.
Very cute story and I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Eight Steps To Alpha by Taylor Sullivan is a fun new adult quirky romance. Elliot is a nerdy guy who is tired of not getting the girl. He teams up with his roommate Fe and they had a plan to make him more alpha and hopefully more appealing to a certain woman. Overall I enjoyed the story and found the characters to be likeable. This was my first book by this author but won’t be my last. I love her writing style. Would definitely recommend! 4 star rating.

Eight Steps is a excellent friends to Lovers romance read, that’s captivating and brilliant from the start. It’s fast paced and easy flowing and has you hooked. Taylor Sullivan is a new author for me, and boy has she given me even more reasons to read more of her books and what else is to come to this series. She has created a brilliant plot line that could really be a real and relatable thing, she has created lovable and relatable characters in Fe & Elliot, to where you would like to see more of their journey and connection after this book ends. I loved reading about their connection, whether as being friends or slowly figuring stuff out, I loved that this book at times was laugh out loud funny, not many books get you laughing like that but this had me doing so on some occasions.
I really enjoyed this book, and was so glad I got the chance to delve into this authors writing. I highly recommend this read and I can’t wait to see what else this author brings.

“Eight Steps” by Taylor Sullivan is a lovely book about two roommates, Elliott and Fe. They have been best friends and roommates for five years and one fateful night will change their friendship forever. I love this story because it felt like Elliott and Fe could be any set of friends that live together, where the relationship could turn into something more. I am a believer in being friends before dating someone and this book really reaffirmed my belief in that. Elliott and Fe know most of the gorey details that, in my opinion, made them more compatible. When you know someone as well as Elliott and Fe know each other, it is hard not to see them for more than friendship eventually. Elliott was a wonderful character to read about. I loved following his journey to discovering who he really wanted to be like and who he wanted to love. So, I give “Eight Steps” by Taylor Sullivan five stars!

This is a contemporary romance with friends becoming more to each other. I thought that this story had some sweet moments as well as humorous moments. Elliot and Fe had great chemistry! Although I do like the love at first sight stories, my favorite type of story is this kind of story when the love between the two characters grow during your time with them! This was a fun, sweet read that I enjoyed.

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.

Eight Steps: A Friends to Lovers Romance by Taylor Sullivan is a fun romance story. This book is what the doctor ordered, a fun forget about the real world and join in Elliot’s world. Ms. Sullivan did a wonderful job writing the characters for this story. For the first time, I felt like I had a little nerdy brother who needed some advice on how to get the attention of the opposite sex. This story made me laugh, cry, and smile throughout the story. Elliot is a nerdy guy who wonders why he cannot seem to get the eye of the opposite sex. He asks his friends for advice and tries to use what he has been shown to catch the eye of a special lady. Will Elliot get the eye of that special person or will his nerdy side keep him all alone?

Eight Steps: A friends to lovers romance by Taylor Sullivan is a fun read. The story is about Elliot and Fe who are roommates and friends. Elliot asks Fe to help him get the girl because he is the nice guy often overlooked. What will happen when they complete their experiment? I enjoyed the characters and the nerdiness of Elliot and Fe. The banter was fun and realistic. The two show that friendship is important between men and women. This was a cute story and made me laugh at times. I overall enjoyed this book and recommend it if you are looking for a light, fun read.

Eight Steps-A Friends to Lovers Romance by Taylor Sullivan. This is a cute friends to lovers Romance with Elliot and Fe who begin as best friends and room mates. Fe being the shy, nervous girl who loves to read decides to help nerdy, “nice guy”Elliot become the ultimate alpha male character to get the girl he thinks he wants. Can they pull this off? Better question can they pull It off without realizing they might feel things more than friendship for each other. The story was cute, with funny moments, it flowed well and kept you entertained. I liked the characters each had their own issues which made them seem more real.
