Have you ever gone just a little too far?

Lexie Banks has.

Yep. She just had mind-blowing sex with her stepbrother. In her defense, she was on the rebound, and it’s more of a my-dad-happened-to-marry-a-woman-with-a-super-hot-son situation. But still, he’s been her best friend and confidant for the better part of the last few years … and is so off limits. It’s a good thing she’s leaving in two days for a year abroad in Rome.

But even thousands of miles away, Lexie can’t seem to escape trouble. Raised Catholic, she goes to confession in hopes of alleviating some of her guilt … and maybe not burning in hell. Instead, she stumbles out of the confessional and right into Alessandro Moretti, a young and very easy-on-the-eyes deacon … only eight months away from becoming a priest. Lexie and Alessandro grow closer, and when Alessandro’s signals start changing despite his vow of celibacy, she doesn’t know what to think. She’s torn between falling in love with the man she shouldn’t want and the man she can’t have. And she isn’t sure how she can live with herself either way.

A Little Too Far, Lisa Desrochers’ new adult debut, is by far one of the best new adult titles that I’ve read. I can’t recommend this one enough for new adult fans.

A Little Too Far is one of the steamiest books I’ve ever read. Seriously, you guys. There are some serious sexytimes in A Little Too Far. And they are so perfect! You would think that reading about a girl sleeping with her stepbrother would seem wrong but that was definitely not the case with Trent and Lexie. It’s easy to see how perfect they are for each other, even if there parents just happen to be married. They have serious chemistry but their relationship is just so comfortable. They are friends, above all else. That’s the perfect kind of relationship to have.

Trent isn’t the only romantic option for Lexie though. While studying abroad in Rome, she meets Alessandro Moretti, a soon-to-be priest who is just as off-limits as Trent. He’s smart, funny, kind, and did I mention that he’s a sexy Italian? I must have forgotten that part. He’s the perfect distraction for Lexie because she knows she can’t have him. This really is one book where I was torn between the two guys. Both Trent and Alessandro were good for Lexie in different ways and I loved that Lisa Desrochers didn’t make it an easy choice for Lexie or readers.

I mentioned briefly that Lexie goes to study abroad in Rome. That’s actually where most of the story takes place and let me tell you, Lisa Desrochers did a fabulous job making the setting really come alive. I can’t tell you how much I want to go to Rome now. The food, the people, the places, the art, everything just seems so wonderful. A setting can truly make or break a book and in this case, it definitely made it.

There was one thing that I didn’t totally love about A Little Too Far and that was some of the dialogue. There were some scenes that seemed a little too cheesy. I’ve noticed this in quite a few new adult novels but it seems like the dialogue is always a little too immature for the age group. Most of the time, things were fine with A Little Too Far but there were a couple times where I wanted to laugh at some of the things Trent or Alessandro said.

Overall, A Little Too Far is a great addition to the new adult genre and it gives me hope that this genre might get better for me. Definitely check this one out for a quick, steamy read.

What others are saying about A Little Too Far:

Kimberly Faye Reads’ review: “To say that Lisa Desrochers’ A Little Too Far left me satisfied would be a ginormous understatement.”

The Eater of Books’ review: “I loved the ending of this book. It’s imperfectly perfect, and it’s beautiful.”

About the author:
Lisa Desrochers lives in northern California with her husband, two very busy daughters, and Shini the tarantula. If you’d told her five years ago she’d write a book, she’d have laughed in your face. As it turns out, she’d owe you an apology. Writing has become an addiction for Lisa and A Little Too Far, courtesy of HarperCollins, is her first novel for adults. She is also the author of the young adult Personal Demons trilogy from Macmillan.
When she’s not writing, she’s reading, and she adores stories that take her to new places, and then take her by surprise. Connect with her online at www.lisadwrites.com, on her blog at lisadesrochers.blogspot.com, on Twitter at @LisaDez, and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/LisaDesrochersAuthor.

  1. I think we all go a little too far when it’s something worth going a little too far for. For instance, when I meant my husband I really wanted nothing to do with him. He wasn’t really my type but either way he kept being persistent. I wanted to make sure he was worth my time so I may have made him jump through some hoops. In the end I fell hard for his personality. He has one of the easiest personalities that I have ever known and I love him for that and for sticking with me after the crazy stuff I put him through when we first meant.

  2. Yes, I literally went a little too far! I went from Colorado to Russia to meet my online looooover (lol) when I was only 18! Well, luckily it worked out well and I didn’t end up murdered. We’ve been together for 10 years now as of August of this year! Woo! 🙂

    Some risks end up being worth it. 🙂

  3. No… I’m too “play it safe”… missed out on a lot of fun when i was younger! Thanks for sharing and congrats to Lisa on the new release!

  4. LOVE forbidden romances and there seem to be lots in this one! There are some stories where the sexytimes complement the characters and story, like in this one, and some where it’s all about sex. Glad to see this one had a wonderful plot that made it organic to the story 🙂

    Lovely review 🙂
