My rating: 4 of 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.

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.

EIGHT STEPS by TAYLOR SULLIVAN

Five Stars

Eight steps to help you find out who is right for you. I found it funny that they didn’t realize what was happening. Eli needs a confidence boost. The details from the author had me imagining a very hot guy. I love how Eli described Fe. The things we do to try and get what we think we need. The author made the story both humorous and serious. The author gave these two a great foundation to start and through some emotions in the mix to make them rethink their bond. I could understand why Fe acted out in anger. You know this person as your best friend and yet your thinking inappropriate things about them. Overall I liked this story and how the author played out every roll.

Eight Steps is a sweet story. There were times that I wanted to strangle both Elliot and Fe, but then that is part of life; we all make colossal relationship blunders at some point. Maybe I loved this story a bit more than most of the contemporary romance novels I’ve read because Elliot reminds me a lot of my husband, especially the whole glasses-to-contacts thing. That literally was the first thing that made me notice the man I eventually married.

I loved the way the characters were written overall, and the ease of the friendship that paved the way for romantic relationship potential. This book illustrates the need for clear communication when it comes to emotional involvement. It also illuminates the futility of mind games in relationships and trying to alter who a person is at a fundamental level.

Easy read. Entertaining. Delightfully humorous moments. And if you relate to characters empathetically, you’ll need some tissues toward the end.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As mentioned in the title – EIGHT STEPS: A FRIEND TO LOVERS ROMANCE, this is the story of a two besties/roomies who enter into an agreement to make the H into an alpha male to “get the girl of his dreams”. Elliot and Fe follow EIGHT STEPS to get him to be a man to be desired. This is a cute story that moves rather quickly as they only have four weeks to do this make-over. The good news is that Elliot was already halfway there because he is a “hot nerd” and not an “awkward nerd”. If there is a moral to this story it is DON’T IGNORE THE NERDS!!!! The geeky nerd you are scoffing at today is the hot dude you want tomorrow.

This is a cute and classic rom-com. The story flowed well and I feel it was written in a realistic (almost too realistic at times) style that was easy to read.

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: A friend to lovers romance by Taylor Sullivan

5 Stars

This is my second read by this author and in this case, the second time is the charm, I just finished my reread of this book. The first time I read it I had so much going on I could not give it the attention it deserved so had to give it another try. I had planned to give this book 4 stars after my first read through but after reading it again, laughing out loud more than once and sincerely enjoying the journey to an ending I had kind of figured out early on I had to give this book and this author 5 stars. Predictable early on yes, but predicting how they would get there..No and I so loved this story.

Elliot and Fe were a lot of fun and I loved their interaction and their friendship..I also totally enjoyed all of the other characters and how they were written in this story.

All in all I really and truthfully enjoyed reading this and I love the writing style, it makes for a really easy flowing read and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

I highly recommend this book and this author. I will be going back and looking at what else she has available and watching for whatever she has in store for the future.

Loved it!!

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!

Elliot Prescott has one question for his ultra nerdy roommate and best friend, Fe Porto.

Why can’t he get the girl?

And she has an answer for him. Or maybe eight.

With five years of best-friendhood under their belt, they’re about to embark on the project of a lifetime. To make Elliot alpha.

The only catch? They have just four weeks to turn the video game loving Elliot, into a cocky, sexy, tattoo clad beast Fe has read about in her romance novels.

Can they do it? Or will the flitter of love that’s been brewing under the surface finally get the kindling it’s been longing for?

It’s where they blossom, and grow, and eventually breath life on the pages of her stories. 

She resides in Los Angeles with the love of her life, her children, and three dogs. She becomes giddy with excitement every time she hears from a fan, and would love to hear from YOU!

I simply adored this book. I found the nerdy hunk to be adorable, extremely likeable, and charming. His best friend was relatable, quirky, and fun. Even though I found some of the plot to be predictable, it made it relatable and felt sincere. The dialogue was witty and the plot development was steady and enjoyable. I thought the author did a great job engaging the reader on fun romp. Loved it and cannot wait to read it again.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Eight Steps to Alpha (Nerdy by Nature #1) by​ Taylor Sullivan is an easy fun, sweet, sexy story that is entertaining from start to finish. It is a friends to lovers story that will have you laughing along the way at their banter and friendship. Taylor has written characters that are charming and funny, quirky and witty, lovable and sexy whilst a little nerdy on the side. It is a highly entertaining journey on the road to change, discovery and love.

Elliot is tired of being the average guy. A guy that a certain type of woman would not look twice at. And certainly not the woman he has his eye on. He wants to know what type of guys woman notice, so he enlists the help of his best friend and roomie to help him. But what if what he wants has been right in front of him all along?

Fe decides she knows just what her bestie and roommate needs to get his ideal woman but somewhere along the way the lines become blurred. Somewhere along the way a kiss means more than it should. But letting him go is the right thing, isn’t it?

It is heartwarming is a wonderfully written story that I highly recommend reading.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

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!

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.
