After yet another huge cliffhanger this is the part where we get our answers plus some surprises, not everything or everybody was what we thought.
While I've enjoyed this series it's not been the 5 star read for me that it appears to have been for most people.
Before I continue on I have to apologise to Stella, like Gabe I was annoyed with her at the end of the previous book when I discovered she's been out shopping for baby clothes and even after the night they'd just shared she hadn't said a word to him....turns out she hasn't done the test yet. So sorry Stella.
It's been a bumpy ride for me with the two main characters although I warmed a lot to Gabe in the last book I still struggled with Stella especially with the TSTL mistake she makes in this one.
I love Ronnie and I was considering reading 'The Calendar Games' but I'm not a fan of short serial novellas even read all together like I've done with this one, I've had enough of Gabe and Stella, I'm going to skip 'The Alphabet Wedding' despite my love of weddings.
The story running through his book was interesting and I think my main problem was I wanted more of that, more of the intrigue and the players and less of Gabe and Stella and their alphabet games which wasn't the point of the book I know but comes back to the fact that these two just didn't work that well for me.
I'm not a fan of spoiler reviews but I couldn't leave this without one so if you haven't read this book stop now.

Amazing ending to a fantastic series. This book was not as focused on their little alphabet game and instead gave you much needed insight into each character including all friends and family members. Full of suspense and holy cow moments which created a real page turner that I could not put down. Awesome job wrapping up their story!

FIVE DAZZLING STARS
Reviewed by Sharon Thérèse Nuttall for Kindle Friends Forever.
The last chapter in book 3 had me sitting on the edge of the chair. Not only were Stella and Gabe left aghast when they discovered just how far Arnie, Gabe’s villainous father, was prepared to carry out what he had been warning them all along, but I was also left itching to find out how they were going to get out of what appeared to be an impossible situation.
Book 4 is without a doubt, a masterpiece! In the other books, the author had really concentrated on the some scorching sex scenes. Gabe was teaching Stella the ropes of the Alphabet Game he’d ingeniously invented and she was more than game to learn. Albeit the other novellas in this series were undoubtedly well-written, full of humour and have a solid plot, number four is little jewel and a splendid finale to their story.
The continuation of the plot thickens at a heart-palpitating rate and I couldn't turn the pages quick enough. Without letting on, I will say that Stella’s step-father isn't the man I thought he was at all, and if he’d done things in the past, there was a very good reason why. The author describes all her characters’ personalities to perfection and Gabe’s father will have you hating him even more than you did in the other books. This obsessive man is so vengeful, it’s sickening! I liked Ronnie, Stella’s best friend from the beginning of this story and now I love her to bits. There’s a scene in Stella’s flat that had me in fits of laughter! I could never imagine my best friend saying, “This establishment sucks big, hairy balls.” But since they’re as thick as thieves, all Ronnie’s ribbing is taken in good faith. Even though witty cracks abound, a spanner is thrown into the works with serious issues like blackmail, abuse and murder. Which I might add, have been intricately woven into the plot. Stella and Gabe have a huge misunderstanding too and boy oh boy, does she make him pay for it! I felt quite sorry for the poor man. However, when he comes to terms with the news Stella wanted to tell him her way and without any interference from an undesirable, he’s over the moon. Yes, Gabe! He’s considerate, gorgeous and adores Stella. Mind you, the feeling is mutual and it’s easy to connect with them.
These two absolutely lovely protagonists have less sex, aw! No worries though. Their explicitly described bedroom antics is a plus which will make you sooo appreciative! It certainly did me. I'm absolutely sure the author didn't want to distract the reader from the real nitty-gritty storyline and there wasn't a moment when I thought anything was lacking. And of course we mustn't forget the banter between them. In a nutshell, brilliant. I could carry on writing about the coffee shop where they meet up, their surrounding and trips back and forth between London and New York but I'm not going to. I’d really like you to read this series because it’s extremely entertaining.
A few words to Ms. Long. Thank you for writing such a fabulous ending. It was beyond my expectations. Bravo!

REVIEW: THE ALPHABET GAME S to XYZ is the fourth and final instalment in Andie M. Long’s serial novella erotic romance Alpha Series focusing on Stella Mulroney and Gabriel Gregory, and the need for revenge against the father figures in their lives.
The final instalment-Part 4 S to XYZ- follows Stella and Gabriel as they traverse the minefield that has become their life. As Gabriel’s father Arnie continues to destroy the lives of everyone he has touched, the truth about Stella’s step father’s role will finally be revealed. As one family hides the truth to protect the one’s that they love, another family will be destroyed by the evil that is Arnie Gregory. Arnie is a man determined to take what he wants, and what he wants –he cannot have.
The secondary characters, once again, add color, history and introspective into a man bent on destroying everyone in his life. The lack of background information about Gabe and Stella is still a little bit disconcerting but the series races to the finish as our couple’s future will change following several different paths. The writing style remains jumpy and slightly uneven but overall, The Alphabet Game is a storyline with an interesting and compelling premise.
THE ALPHABET GAME novella serial series is an erotic look at two families whose lives have been destroyed by one man whose need for one woman has set into motion years of heartache, betrayal, jealousy and lies. Stella and Gabriel will become the pawns in a decades old battle where Arnie Gregory would take down anyone who stood in his path to get what he wanted. From suicide to murder; rape and abuse The Alphabet Game is a story about a twisted mind who would stop at nothing-everyone was fair game including family, friends and children. The entire serial series and epilogue cover approximately two years in the life, where Stella’s need for revenge results in a new beginning and a happily ever after.

I can't believe I've reached Z which means the end of the story and series. This is been a highly entertaining story and one which has kept me on the each of my seat waiting in anticipation for the next instalment.
Right from the beginning I loved the game between Gabe and Stella but their story is not without drama and the twists and turns which occur as a result of Gabe's father, Arnie Gregory. Arnie has added the mystery and intrigue to this story as you try to understand what game he himself is playing with Gabe, Stella and their friends and family. At the end of each instalment you get a little more insight into what this man is capable of but it's not until the conclusion that you really see him for what he is, pure evil.
Gabe and Stella are trying trying to find a way to topple Arnie but as ever, he is one step ahead of them and is prepared to do anything to protect himself. Turning to others for help, Stella and Gabe put lives in danger and they have to decide how to end Arnie's control before anyone else is hurt or killed.
Stella and Gabe are also experiencing their own problems after Stella's announcement at the end of book 3 but will they be able to put their differences aside and be able to move on with their lives, hopefully, without Arnie watching their every move.
Andie has written a delightful series and it's one which has kept me thoroughly engrossed. The only problem I had was remembering how the last instalment ended and where I was up to in the lives of this complex group of characters but now that the complete series is available you won't have the same problem!

What can I say about this last book, WOW comes to mind, gutted it is the last book, screaming at Andie M Long to write another book, yes this is how I feel just now after reading not just this last book but this whole series.
While reading this book I was completely and utterly gobsmacked at the discovery Stella and Gabe were faced with, it was a completely OMG moment, Gabe’s father, well all I can say is that I am glad I do not have a father like that.
I loved the whole learning process by Stella of Gabe’s Alphabet Game was lovely to read; I was captivated by it all. The way Andie has written this book is simply brilliant and I can’t stress that enough.
The way this story unfolds and the suspense with it all has you constantly turning the pages wanting to keep reading until you have finished. I did find myself reading until the small hours of the morning with this book, I wanted, no needed to know what would happen next and to me that is what a good book should be like. My heart was in my throat at times the way this book was going and I found myself having that feeling of trying to slow my breathing down in parts it was so good. The plot of this story will keep you reading and wanting more.
The way Andie describes all the characters makes you feel as if you can picture them in your mind which is simply brilliant.
Gabe’s father I loathed but Ronnie, Stella’s best friend I loved to bits I didn’t at first, I felt she had an agenda but the more I read the more I liked her.
Gabe is what every woman wants, a man who is protective, dependable, loving, caring, gorgeous and so very protective of Stella and we cannot forget one major part, he is sexy as hell.
What I adored with this last book was that there was a brilliant story line and one that keeps you on edge but they author has not forgotten that these two are seriously HOT for each other and yes the sex scenes in this book as with the others are written so well. I never felt that while reading this book I was missing anything or that there was something lacking in the story’s which is a testament to how good this story it.
I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have.

JUST ANOTHER BOOK BITCH'S ALWAYS SPOILER FREE REVIEW
I received an ARC for an honest review
Questions are answered, the drama unfolds and SEXY IS HAD! The Conclusion of The Alphabet Game is everything I wanted it to be!
Stella's lessons are coming to an end, but I am so happy I was along for the ride. The chemistry between Stella & Gabe is perfect. Their love is believable and envyable (is that a word....it is now!) They are romantic, passionate and down right dirty when they want to be. If that doesn't say perfect couple I don't know what does!
I have truly enjoyed the twists & turns of this story, I never knew what was going to happen next! Stella has had to deal with some pretty crazy shit. Sex clubs, Sex tapes, and a sick and twisted man that has been out for blood. If you haven't guessed it by now there are two games being played. Gabe & Stella's alphabet game and a game of cat and mouse, where this whole time Mr. Gregory Sr. has been two steps ahead.The more that unfolds the more I want my favorite new couple to bring down this evil and disgusting man.
It's been a tough road for Stella and Gabe. But They finally get their HEA and I couldn't be happier. Everything unfolded so perfectly, questions you didn't even know you had will be answered.
It's been a fantastic series and I can't wait for more from Author Andie Long.

This is it folks, the end is near and boat is loaded and ready to sail.
We finally get the last instalment in Andie's novella series, Alphabet Games.....and she doesn't disappoint....
Firstly I want to thank Andie for kindly gifting me copies of ALL this series to read and review, AND I FINALLY got to meet her lovely self at the weekend at the Edinburgh #RARE14 author signing event.....Clare kindly introduced me....yeah I was the shy one....and my brain went blank as it does when I was starstruck...but she was sooooo lovely and kind :)
Anyway back to my review of this kick-ass ending....so If you've read the other novella's you'll remember how Andie left things....if you haven't here's the low-down.....
Gabe & Stella are still trying to bring down their fathers....but all isn't going well
Gabe finally gets relief after a brief encounter with his mother blows up a HUGE surprise in his face...to top it off Archie decided to pay them a visit, which results in Archie revealing a secret that Stella had been keeping from Gabe until she knew the truth, but Gabe is too shocked and leaves......is it for good? Who knows?
The story is jam packed with drama, angst, love and HOT HOT sex…....
I love that throughout this story there is still humour and they of course still complete the alphabet game, which I'll be honest, the idea of this is growing on me each and every day...hmmm I may have to find some sexual references for the alphabet for me ;)
There was death in this....some characters that deserved it the most, others not so much....
Can Gabe and Stella stop Arnie before too many people get hurt or die?
Can they work things out together?
What will happen between them, when the alphabet has finished?

Oh no how sad, its all over! Gutted. I have loved this series since the start.
I have loved how ballsy Stella has been and how much fun she is too. Not to mention witnessing their love grow into something so beautiful.
Gabe is also a great character, loyal, loving, fun too and very compassionate. The get on really well together.
So we start right where the 3rd installment left off, with Gabe running out on Stella, he couldn't believe what his dreadful father had said was the truth! Trust goes both ways! I was so pleased that Stella had Ronnie there for her. Oh Ronnie, what a hoot, especially the Chihuahua comment!
The thrilling conclusion kept me on the edge of the couch, now whilst the sexdy scenes were fwere they were still scorching hot. Their chemistry was electric!
I was so relieved when Gabe's father got what was coming to him, what a manipulative excuse for a man. So glad it was Stella's Mum who finally came through for her, I was in full cheerleaders outfit rooting for her.
They went through a myriad of emotions, not to mention us too! but so pleased that things worked out for the pair of them. It was a great story, and the suspense kept us hanging onto your every word.
Even though I won this copy of the final instalment, it by no means made my opinion any different, I was eagerly awaiting its release date.
Readers who read all 4 parts in one go will get a fantastic read, I hope they savour every page like I did.
This is a story of love, compassion, intrigue, espionage, excitement, sadness and heartache. You will be gripped from the start!

This is, the final installment of The Alphabet Game. The installment where the mystery I need solved gets answers. The final letters of the alphabet, what will they cover. What happens when the game is over?
Oh no, does it have to end? Well, yes. Yes, it does and this book did not disappoint. Andie has definitely grown as a writer in this series. She keeps her audience captivated. The twists and turns that this story takes are like a movie. All our main players are back.
Arnie and Mitch need to be taken down and it is not an easy job. By the middle of the book you know who the true devil of the two is and what a story that is.
The story line is so good that you can’t put the book down. Stella takes one of the biggest tests of her life in this book and she grows as an individual.
This book picks up exactly where book three left off and you will love the story that is Gabe and Stella. Gabe is just perfection in this installment. Heck I was ready to go run and find him myself.
He will win your heart and you will not want to let him go. In the midst of him and Stella working to bring down the paternal units the game continues.
You will not be disappointed. All the letters are covered and heck some of you may find it very educational and may learn some tips to surprise your significant other with. This series was worth the time spent reading it and I see Andie Long only getting better.
With this series she has given many couples help to spice up the bedroom. Hope everyone enjoys it just as much as I did. Suspenseful Romance that I give 5 STARS.

I have been eagerly waiting for this final installment of the series and it did not disappoint. My fingernails are going to take quite some time to grow back as the tension was intense. This is a sit on the edge of your seat read as the threads from parts 1-3 are weaved together and it rushes towards its thrilling conclusion. Gabe and Stella are still set on bringing down his father and her step-father but they quickly find out that not everything is as it seems, as they fight for their relationship and their lives. Gabe and Stella will leave you frustrated with their continued lack of trust in each other but equal parts in love with them.
There are plenty of surprises as the story progresses but one character will definitely shock you with the surprising amount of strength shown in the face of their enemy.
The hot alphabet game continues between Gabe and Stella and I loved trying to guess what would come next. However, as their relationship develops the game becomes less important to them.
This is one of the best series I have read this year. It is a perfect blend of two of my favourite genres: suspense and romance. Lots of action and unexpected twists. Hot scenes between Gabe and Stella with their game play but equal amounts sweetness between them. A must read!

This is the final part of the Alphabet Game and I'm quite sad about that. I have really enjoyed reading this 4 part series.
Gabe and Stella were both great characters. They were a complete match for each other. He had the alpha arrogance that's always needed in a leading man, and Stella had the sweetness of the leading lady. She wasn't a pushover though. She had her agenda and was determined to see her revenge out to the end, so in that respect, she was a little toughie.
I liked the fact that the author is a Brit and so the book was written in a very British way. I'm not sure if Americans would need to sit with a British dictionary to decipher some of the colloquials lol
I have nothing but praise for Andie on the way she has presented this series. Not only has she kept my interest for 4 books with her incredible storytelling, she has also produced a series that keeps you interested because you invest in the characters.
I notice she has now combined all 4 books into one book and I will definitely be buying the paperback of that. I cannot fault anything...great covers for all the parts, good editing, great character development and smooth story flow.
Well done Andie, you should be very proud of your work x x

Well here we have it. The last part of the series. Maybe we can hope for a follow up? Ok on with the review.. I loved the series and this had to be my favorite book maybe three was a close second. I just could not put it down, I had to know what Arnie was doing next and what Stella was getting into. It was one of those yup I am going to go do dishes after this chapter lets just say they are still in my sink lol. Ronnie never let down either her parts just got funnier and a shocking secret near the end on her well hell the whole near the end is shocking. Gabe well he is Gabe and protective in his own way, have to love him. Revenge is sweet, but who is the revenge really on? Want to know, do you think you know finish the series or if haven't bought the whole series buy it and find out. I recommend it. Also a huge thank you to Andie who held a contest and I was chosen to name one of the characters, who to me has a big role in the book. Thank you that name is dear to my heart.

I was so excited to get this final instalment into the alphabet game… I just had to dive right in to it and it did not disappoint…
I craved, no I needed the conclusion to Gabe and Stella’s story and it kept me hooked till the end…
The story is jam packed with drama, angst, love and HOT HOT sex… … …
I adored this whole series… Gabe and Stella both took up space in my heart as I routed for them… as the war with Arnie comes to a head leaving behind a trail of heartache and lost… …
Can Gabe and Stella stop Arnie before too many people are hurt???
Can they work things out together???
This final instalment will keep you in suspense to the very end… but my heart was left happy with the ending…
This four part series is well worth the read… it’s hot, sexy, angsty and drama filled… I cannot wait for more from this awesome author in the future.

Wow Andie has defiantly kept the best til last in part 4 of this amazing novella series.
It's the last part so no cliffhanger this time but it's action all the way, if it's not in the bedroom there's action else where.
We eventually find out why Arnie has done the things he has .
Truths are told and innocents die in the course of this book, but will Gabe and Stella be able to bring Arnie down before he takes them down and some unlikey people step up and help to end the evil man. There's some shocking events that leave your hearbrokien and some really lighthearted ones that make your heart melt, it's a great end to an awesome series and I'm sad to say goodbye to Gabe and Stella I've really enjoyed their journey through the alhpabet. I'm really looking forward to reading some more from this very talented author.

*****received an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review*****
At the end of part three I was desperate for the final part to this series of books. Part three ended on a cliffhanger, luckily the author is releasing the books a month apart so not too long to wait. So part three we had some shock discoveries and it looked like the evil Arnie was onto Gabe and Stella`s plan to bring him down. Well in part four we are in for another bumpy ride. The plot thickens and whilst the sex scenes are still hot, the action and twists and turns are what make the story. I was gripped and read the whole thing in one sitting.
Do Stella and Gabe get their revenge? Or does Arnie win? Either way it's Game Over as we make our way through S to Z of the Alphabet Game.

Final part of the series and it didn't disappoint!
Not only does the alphabet game conclude but all the Qs raised are answered too.
I won't give away what happens but will tell you I was shouting at the kindle on more than one occasion :)
This series is a like a little diamond hidden in the rough. I know most people will tend to stick to reading material by authors they have come to know and love but, I urge you to give this 'newbie' a try... the storyline in itself is engaging, action-packed and full of intrigue and suspense. Added to Gabe's Alphabet Game and the pages sizzle. It literally has everything a great book should!
Be proud Andie... You did a fantastic job! Can't wait for your next release.

I received an ARC of The Alphabet Game Part Four, in return for an honest review.
WOW!
It has been two days since I had finished this final instalment, and all I can say is, 'BOOK HANGOVER'.
Andie has once again done a phenomenal job of not only adding further depth into this final instalment, but also tying up loose ends.
I love Gabe and Stella, and it was nice to see more of Ronnie as she pulled her life together.
An amazing series that I am now in a funk after completing. But I assure you, it is a series that I will be rereading again very,very soon.
Congratulations Andie on an amazing ending to an amazing series. I will be watching this space for more Ronnie and Col.

The story continues where part three left off.
The alphabet game is coming to an end and I loved every minute of it. The storyline kept me gripped through the whole series always leaving me desperately wanting more.
Gabe and Stella carry on with their plan to get revenge against Gabe's father Arnie Gregory but Arnie is always one step ahead of them and will do anything to protect himself, even kill.
Gabe and Stella are still playing the Alphabet Game, making the sex scenes hot and steamy. I loved the things Gabe thought of doing to get Stella back after there argument in part three.
Would definitely recommend this series.

I am so sad to say goodbye to this amazing book. Andie really packed a punch on this last bit of the story. We learned so much more about each of the characters in the book. I can still say that Gabe makes an amazing book boyfriend he'd make any woman want to play the Alphabet Game. This book will keep you wanting more and I would love to see a spin off with Ronnie as the main character.I am so happy to have gotten the HEA.
I received this book from the author to read and review for an honest opinion.

Absolutely love the twists and turns in this book, the revelations, the plots and schemes. There's more than one character in this book that's not who you thought they were either. I found myself cheering out loud at one scene. Some of it was a bit too twee and sweet for me, the further into the alphabet we've gone the more mushy these two have got, but the hotter the letters have become as well.
Very clever plot that had me hooked from the first book, characters I loved most of the time and I just loved Gabe's Babe and Stella's Fella!

5 bright shinning STARS
What can I say about this book. I bloody loved it. Its the first one in the series I have given 5 Stars.
Really trying not to give any spoilers away so I am going to be careful with what I say.
Go Stella's mum Francesca. Please let there be a follow on with Col and Ronnie. Loved the ending about him.
Really did not see the series coming to an end like it did but oh it was perfect.

Strap in for a crazy, fun and exciting ride. There are so many answers to reveal which Andie Long definitely knows how to deliver. A stellar conclusion to The Alphabet Game that has all the fun banter between Stella and Gage along with the steamy sexiness that you would expect from the first 3 parts. I don't want to give away any of the secrets of how all the parts and pieces end up, just know you will be happy when all is said and done!

Was given this book for an honest review by author. Thank you so much for the opportunity.
This was a very good book. This book gives answers to all the questions and also finalizes the games that are played.
Love that there is no preable between the books. That is one book just follows the next, no real back stories being told to add filler. That being said you should start with book 1 or book a!!
Enjoy the twists and turns that unfold in this last part of the games!

I received a free copy of this novella in exchange for an honest review. I give this novella 4 stars. This final installment of a 4 part series was well written and wrapped up the plot quiet well. Many questions if not all were answered. A twist revealed in this novella that I did not see it coming and it definitely explained many things. All in all, I enjoyed this series. Thank you Ms. Long for the ARR and the opportunity to review the series.

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review. I'm so sad it has come to the last book in this series! Part 4 was full of action. Andie Long knows how to keep your attention never a dull moment in her books. I had to know what happened a wonderful page turner or Great Read if you haven't read her series go check it out you wont regret it. Her books are filled with sexy, action, suspense and I loved every book in this series. Cant wait to read more of her books!!!
July 1, 2014
Wow not what I expected in this short last series. Very suspenseful. Couldn't stop reading the story. Loved it. Gabe father was the devil. Amazing how he will stop anyone who will interfere his business. You finally understand Stella's parents. Very sexy. Another sexy cover. I just can't believe the alphabet has ended.
