Stroke

by Allie Juliette Mousseau

Two sexy, powerful brothers want me. One is a perfect gentleman. The other is rude, arrogant, and hates me. Or does he?

MIA
Landing an interview with Stroke Magazine is a dream come true. That is until Trak Cohen, the co-owner of Stroke, boots me from the interview before it begins. He is an egotistical playboy, and I dodged a bullet. Then the I receive a call from his brother, Trent, and I can't turn down the position he is offering.


If only his drop-dead gorgeous brother would stop distracting me.


I will not become another notch in his belt.



TRAK
Being the co-owner of a popular magazine comes with its own set of perks, including an endless supply of beautiful women at my beck and call. Except for Mia, who was hired by my brother behind my back. I don't like her attitude or the way I can't get rid of her. Worse yet, all of that makes her more intriguing. We can't stand each other, but we're stuck with the situation for now.


I've almost convinced myself that I care nothing about her, but when Trent goes after Mia, I want nothing more than to steal her heart for myself.

I will win in the end.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

This is a full length novel and each chapter is written by a different author. Twenty for of them in fact. They include: Allie Juliette Mousseau, Mary Ting, Hilary Storm, Stacy Kestwick, Brooke Page, Jennifer Miller, Sydney Lane, M Mabie, Quinn Knightly, Kathy Coopmans, A.E. Woodard, Shantel Tessier, Alexandrea Weis, Stacey Lewis, Cora Brent, Amy Marie, Angela Corbett, C.A. Harms, S Moore, Clarissa Wild, Jacob Chance, Marley Valentine, Winter Travers, and Maria Vickers. I loved that this book was different from anything else written. I loved that we got a chapter from some of my favorite authors and some from authors I just experienced for the first time. I loved the story of Mia, Trak and Trent. If you are worried about the story not flowing because it is written by so many different author's, don't even let that be a worry. It flowed so well and was such a great read you need to get it now and dive in. I loved every single second and was actually sad when the book ended.

Unique and fun. This is a different type of book written by 24 authors. The flow and the storyline are great and it was fun to combine the different styles of each author. Must read!!

[Ana Rita · Rating 5 out of 5]

What to think of a book written by not one, but 24 authors?
Crazy right? And the best thing is that buying this book supports Animal Society... Amazing.
When I read the blurb, I was super curious because I couldn't think how this would work.
I couldn't start it fast enough.
Stroke is the book that I'm talking about and explores the lives of Mia and Trak.
Mia applied for her dream job. Working at Stoke Magazine and she got herself an interview. But when she enters the office for her so-called interview all hell breaks loose. The co-owner sends her away.
One phone call changed all that and she's hired by the other owner.
Now how can she keep up with Trak...
Trak and his brother are the owners of Stroke Magazine. He's arrogant and a womanizer that can have all the women he wants.
When his brother hires Mia behind his back he couldn't believe it. He doesn't like her attitude but finds her intriguing...
Let me just say that when I got the news about this book, I was a bit uncertain about it.
How could all these authors make this story perfect? How could they make it work?
Nervous doesn't even cover it and it was all for nothing...
This book was amazing.
Amazing plot, very well written, super engaging, and hot as hell.
These authors worked perfectly with each other and you didn't even notice that it was written by so many people.
Each chapter was even more addictive than the latest and I could read it fast enough.
These characters started bumpily but soon it evolved into something more.
The chemistry they shared is amazing and you can feel all things related.
There were parts of the book that I wanted to slap someone silly... Jeez. Why be so stubborn and hot-headed?
God...
And the hit stuff... Oh lord, the hot stuff.
This book was amazing and I want more. I want to know more about the secondary characters.
They need their stories to be told.
Great book guys. Loved it.

Mia and Trak

This is a great collaboration of amazing Authors.
Mia is going for interview at Stroke a men magazine she really excited for the chance to work there as an assistant photographer she is very talented. But her first meeting with the sexy talented Trak doesn’t go well.
She later gets hired anyway from his brother Trent who is just as sexy and half owner of the company.
Trak os working at his fathers company and is a playboy. He is rude to Mia because of his attraction to her and her wearing his ex perfume . He doesn’t get along with his brother Tent and just wants to keep his father dream alive .
The two have amazing chemistry and keep getting pulse to each other each other writes a chapter and it flows very nicely you wouldn’t know it was written by different ppl. The story is very well written.There is some twist and drama but has a HEA.

[Basak · Rating 4 out of 5]

Stroke was a really entertaining read that helped me get out of my head and put me in a good mood. The fact that each chapter was written by a different author gave the story an invigorating flow. It was an enemies to lovers trope between a billionaire OTT alpha-hole and a sweet and affectionate young woman with a kind heart. The sensuality level was thankfully quite high and intimate moments were panty melting. This book is definitely a good choice for whoever needs a pick-me-up and the HEA will surely satisfy your inner romantic.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

[Jenn Allen · Rating 3 out of 5]

So, I really wanted to love this. The idea of multiple authors each writing a chapter was new and interesting to me. Sadly, it just didn't completely translate. I never felt a deep connection with the characters as I felt each chapter portrayed the character just a bit different than before. More alpha now than before, slight details added or missing that were or weren't there before. The pull between Trak and Mia was there, but there was a lot of up and down with it. Trak's attitude was a distraction, the back and forth between he and his brother... made them both seem bad. It just didn't click with me.

I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

[World Of Books 65 · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a brilliant unique idea to get some of the top romance authors to write just one chapter each in this brilliant swoon-worthy melt your heart feel-good story. I was slightly nervous at first wondering if this type of collaboration would work, but I was really surprised at how this enemies to lovers story played out with a wonderful gentle Mia and our over the top but hunky alpha Trak. Be prepared to be taken on a hot wonderful romantic journey by 24 great authors!

A great idea that I hope more authors take up!

[Mari (Mystics & Metaphysics Book Blog) · Rating 5 out of 5]

So this was different than I've read before but I love it. It's one story written by all these authors so we get their stamp on the whole thing. Each chapter kept me riveted because I never knew what was going to happen since each new chapter is written by a different author. The chemistry and back and forth between the characters was amazing and the not knowing who was going to win had me on the edge of my seat. Amazing!

[Amazeballs Book Addicts · Rating 4 out of 5]

Stroke in a good read. It's a unique story. It's not an anthology; it's a calibration of 24 authors writing one story. When I realized it was not an anthology, I was worried if I would like it because I hadn't read a lot of these authors before. It flows great, and if each chapter didn't say which author it was by, I wouldn't even know there was a change in the author. I loved Mia and Trak. They have great chemistry even though they try to fight the chemistry they have.

[Lynne Garlick · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG!!

Wow! What a fantastic read! Over twenty authors have come together to put this anthology out. And what an anthology!! An anthology with a twist that I absolutely love!! Seamless!! Bloody seamless!!
And it hooked me from the get-go!!
I love it!! Meeting new authors, reading favourite authors and donating to a worthy cause!!
Gone click it now!!

[Cathy Andrews · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great idea!

What an original and unique way to write a story! I loved it! One story, 24 chapters and 24 authors. Each chapter flowed beautifully into the next and it read as if it was done by one author. Most of these authors are new to me, so it opened up a world of new books for me to check out.

[lowkeyreader · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very unique story from the start as the chapters are written by different authors. However, the story flowed very smoothly and was pretty well-written. It didn't seem like it was written by different authors at all. The story itself is pretty entertaining and hooked me throughout.

[Net · Rating 5 out of 5]

incredible collaboration

These 24 authors did an amazing job of making the story flow. I absolutely loved when Trak stood his ground and well no spoilers. I recommend this as a must read!

[evieo17 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow. This is the first time I’ve read a book that was written this way. It was different but in a good way. The anticipation of what the next chapter will revel kept me glued to my kindle.

[Dena Akbar · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is a really good book and it is really interesting.

[Ashley Cestra · Rating 2 out of 5]

I have never read a story like this, where each author takes a different chapter in the same world with the same characters and the same plot and I’ll never read one like this again.
I’ll even tell you why- it is VERY obvious some authors didn’t take the time to read the previous chapters. The two main characters personalities are different and vary from chapter to chapter. Don’t even get me started on the plot holes…. A project like this needs time. And whether it was rushed or sat for a year, it wasn’t combed through in the content editing stage like it was supposed to.

The author list is big with some excellent names! If I dissect the book into chapters, I definitely have some favorites and can see who took the time to participate in this book.

[Dawn Foster · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stroke is a different kind of book from other Enemies to Lovers, Billionaire Office Romance stories. This one every chapter is written by a different author. I felt they did a wonderful job, making the story flow, and kept me engaged in Mia's story from the very beginning.

Stroke is incredible enemies to lovers romance. But this book has twist were each chapters is written by different authors and they did amazing job tell us Mia and Trak story. Their chemistry is remarkable from the beginning. But through all the ups and downs they will get their HEA.
