the moment we met was a lie – Volume 1by Kari WiethopVolumes 1 & 2 follow Becky’s transition into a world where unorthodox is the norm and alter egos are a way of life. Though she’s brought onboard at the same time as ‘Babe’ and Jane, Becky’s journey is all her own. These three recruits are essentially the vehicle into the collective, a business that operates under the rules of a club. The Mercer Estate Tops all have their own motivations, methods and missions. In volume 3, Sam’s return from her two-year hiatus in Amsterdam shakes things up the core four: Black, Becky, Random and Sam herself. The reverberations extend from there, begetting a string of personal power plays on top of the team’s not-so-everyday work lives. Once Becky becomes official in volume 3, a chart of suite holders and their subordinates is included at the back of each book; a chart that becomes a chessboard, shifting players around as early as volume 4. Though Becky’s confidence grows in this book, Babe is the one who’s actually gaining traction. Volume 5 is when Becky forges her own path based on an earlier tip from Black, that in a game about power, knowledge is game. The purpose of her recurring nightmare is realized in a twist that propels everything in a new direction. As its name implies, The Alternative Series is not your typical romance saga, and the moment we met was a lie will ultimately tie the beginning to the end. $0.00 Previously $2.99 |

the moment we met was a lie – Volume 2by Kari WiethopThe colorful staff of a hedonistic club attends to the unconventional and sometimes humorous needs of their members while navigating their own friendships, rivalries and romances in this contemporary series. Caught up in Cade’s agenda with Jane, Black takes the sage advice he received. He briefly puts recruiting Becky on hold and gives her time to process what she’s getting into. She grows more certain and persistent with every day that passes, trying to glean what Black wants from her based on what she’s already experienced. In Oklahoma, Trip gravitates towards his newfound fling with Babe to put off dealing with his family obligations. When the time comes for him to return to California, he gets a surprising request from her. Random balances his concern for Trip with the impending return of Sam, who ran the collective with him before she left town nearly two years earlier. In a proactive move, he makes a generous offer to Black that intertwines himself with the employment of Becky. Volume 2 escorts Jane into Cade’s grand plan for her, exposes Random’s ulterior motive and brings an end to the lull between Becky and Black. It’s never too dark and never too light in this forward-moving series of desires, mind games, debauchery and the option to live an offbeat life: The Alternative. $0.00 Previously $2.99  Other Retailers |
