What Readers Say

We Never Said Goodbye

“We Never Said Goodbye is wonderfuly crafted and an absolute easy read. The plot is intense and emersive. Fiona is grief stricken and confused about who she is, mixing that with the confusion of her feelings for a past relationship with Simon makes for great tension and a slow burn romance. This is one of my favorite new indie authors to look out for!!”

I will forever recommend this book to anyone looking for a love story. You fall in love with the main characters as much as they fall in love with each other.

Where Life Takes Us

I heard Alexandra read an excerpt from this book and said I have to read it and did. This is hands down one of my favorite reads this year. They had a rocky start cause he was having a bad day but they got past it. I loved the banter. The FMC and MMC both have trauma that they have to over come but they do it together. He supports her and proves himself when she is sure he will bail and she supports him by encouraging him to close doors. This is a story of showing that you are willing to go the distance for the one you love and never back down. Not to mention the spice is just right. I recommend this book to anyone who needs their faith restored in relationships. Seriously read this book. You won't regret it. I read it in one sitting. Gavin still lives in my brain rent free.

I had so much fun reading this spectacular romance! When you’re not expecting to find that special someone they show up! Gavin and Ava’s love story is one that doesn’t happen too frequently. They met by happenstance, spent quality time together, really got to know one another, and before you know it fell in love. Both had previous long term relationships that were rough, and traumatic not ending well for either. I love the way the author built 2 strong characters that respected each other had a trustworthy relationship and strong chemistry together. The spice was great and worked into the story beautifully. This was such a well written romance that enveloped you into their story, it was a fun read. If you’re looking for a pallet cleanser, fun, quick romance this is where you start.

I DEVOURED this book !! This book was amazing from page one ! It was exactly what I needed something interesting but still on the lighter side. It was filled with flirtatious playful banter that had me giggling & kicking my feet, the humor (I love a good book that makes you literally LOL) , the spice was delicious & plot was absolutely intriguing, I loved that both the MMC & the FMC as individuals, had uniquely complicated past histories with relationships. Reading how they overcame certain things made me tear up!! Everything about this book was balanced so nicely and well written !! I could not put this book down !! I would have finished it in one day if it weren’t for things needing to be done! I related in a personal level to many things in this book & it made it that much more enjoyable!! I would definitely read this book again !! Btw this book definitely helped pull me out of my reading slump!!!!

Love Beyond The Game

“I was honored enough to receive an ARC of Love Beyond the Game, so first and foremost, thank you Alexandra Shaw!!
This story follows Nicole, a gymnast and Jeremy, a baseball player. They are in college and meet due to being in physical therapy for injuries. Jeremy is ALL in, immediately!! Nic was a little more hesitant, but couldn't fight her feelings. This story is HOT, emotional and sweet. I really enjoyed following along as they learned to navigate life, their sports and one another. (And that bedroom)!! 🥵 4 stars for the story and 2.5 on the 🌶 scale. Definitely recommend!!”

I highly recommend this book! The author is an amazing writer, and I can't wait to read more of her books. Once you read this book, you will be dying for book 2 like I am! You don't have to know about sports to read this, she explains what you need to know. This story was amazing. I had all of the feels reading it. I don't want to put spoilers here, but this book has something for almost everyone. Please read this book!! You will not regret it!

— Amazon

Love Beyond the Game is a slow burn college sports romance. Each main character plays a different sport and meet while undergoing physical therapy. The depth in which the author goes into explaining each sport, injury and related recovery is outstanding. The character development is amazing. The love story progresses at a slow pace, but not too slow as to make one uninterested. There is enough spice so that you’re not left lacking. There are plot twists and turns to keep you on your toes. I loved this book and can’t wait for book two!!!

The Exodus of Ayala

“I really, really enjoyed this story! I'll preface the rest of the review by saying I don't normally read romance novels, so for one to draw me in is more than a minor accomplishment. But I was hooked from the very beginning and never wanted to quit reading.

I love that this story takes place in Basra, Iraq shortly after World War II. That's a setting and time period that I've never seen another author touch before, and for the reason it's even more interesting and fresh. The dangers facing the characters are very real, as you might imagine, and for that reason there's tension from the very first page. Ayala and the Abraham family are Jews living in Basra. The Jewish nation of Israel has just been formed, and it's caused a streak of turmoil and violence against Jews throughout the Middle East.

Ayala and her family meet Brody, a Scottish soldier stationed in Basra, who agrees to protect her and her brother. Feelings quickly develop between Ayala and Brody, even though he is several years older and from a different continent. But in the middle of such a turbulent time, they aren't able to act on how they feel before they're ripped apart. The Abrahams and many other Jewish families are forced to flee Iraq.

The Exodus of Ayala was great because of the characters more than anything else. I found myself immediately caring about what happened to them, and that worry and edginess helped me fly through this story and then wish there was more when I reached the end. I had a great time reading The Exodus of Ayala and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity. I'm looking for more books like it and loved how direct it was while still being full of passion, excitement, and romance. Cheers!”

“This book is a page-turner that is exquisitely written.
Ayala befriends a British soldier who assists her family in escaping persecution. They share their sorrow and hope for a new beginning despite the dangers of their journey.
The narrative highlights Ayala's resilience and the value of interpersonal relationships during trying times. The story, which offers a poignant look at the experience of being a refugee, is told in astonishing and evocative prose and emphasizes themes of resilience and hope. Highly Recommend.”

“Well done to the author! The Exodus of Ayala is an excellent, well written read. I was gripped and enthralled from the beginning, and read the book quite quickly. Two lovers caught up in a very difficult situation. I felt for Ayala in her transition to a new country, but the book touches on so many more subjects. Dialogue and narrative excellent throughout. Recommended!”
