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.

And here I thought that Lisa Desrocher's Personal Demons series was steamy at times - A Little Too Far blows it out of the water with a story that is a little bit risque and a lot bit hot. While the heartbroken college student is no stranger to most readers, Lisa Desrochers has put her own spin on the traditional tale when she adds in the story of the hot step-brother. As weird as it seems at first, it is so easy to see how good Lexie and Trent are together.

This book has the sexytimes down to the T. The scenes at the novel's beginning between Lexie and Trent pretty much just heat up the pages. Oy. I could really see Lexie with both guys in the book - Alessandro or Trent - they are both good for her in different ways.

Lisa Resrochers really makes Rome come alive - I felt like I was right there alongside Lexie in her year abroad. I also am really just jealous of the scholarship Lexie wins that pays for her year abroad - I totally want that, ha.

As another to join the ranks of the few new adult novels I have really loved, I cannot recommend A Little Too Far enough. I think Lisa Desrochers is a crazy talented writer who only gets better with each book she writes. With this in mind, I cannot wait for another release from Lisa Desrochers!
