Award-winning author of the Independent Press Award for Distinguishing Favorite. Recipient of the National Indie Excellence Award for Erotica Romance.
My love for writing began several years ago after an early retirement from a demanding job that I loved and hated because it consumed so much of my time. Now, I can focus my time on what I love. Writing romance has been a lifelong dream and to actually say that I am a published author is beyond what I would have ever expected.
Even though some may say I have a little naughtiness in my books, I look at it as an added bonus for my readers. After all, what is a romance book without a little spice?
When I am not writing, I enjoy spending time with friends either at home or out on the town. Mostly, I enjoy a relaxing night at home where I can enjoy a glass of wine in the company of a good book.
Out of everything, she enjoys driving in her little convertible with the top down.
This is the second book in the series. The story is fast-paced and steamy with characters and an excellent story. I loved the intensity of this read and how the characters and the story really drew me in. A good read.
Beneath Submission is book 2 in the Unbreakable series. It can be read as a stand alone, but I definitely recommend reading Beneath Deception first or you will likely be confused in places. I would describe the series as erotic suspense at its best. The story follows the relationship of Xavier and Tessa as they strive to overcome many obstacles that life has thrown at them including threats of violence, blackmail, kidnapping and torture. You have two damaged souls who seem to be made whole when they are together. But Tessa has been lied to her entire life, so she values honesty above all else. When Xavier breaks her trust, can she forgive him? I should mention that this book contains graphic sexual language and situations including rape and torture in case that is outside of your comfort zone. I highly recommend this book if you enjoy a good steamy suspense thriller and second chance romance.
I have read several of A L. Longs books. With everyone that I read it is hotter and sexier than the one before. Bringing us to this wonderful, sexy, hot story. Beneath Submission does not disappoint. If you like suspense, deception and taking twist and turns and not knowing where you will end up - then this book is for you. Xavier London the only man that Tessa Sands gave her heart to. Coming together again does she give him a second chance? Of course we all follow our hearts for a chance for love. Just when things start going wonderfully Collin Gates comes into the picture. This is a must read - See what happens to Tessa when Collin comes into her life and will Xavier get to her in time? From the first word to the last I could not put this book down. As stated before - A. L. Long does it again.
I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book. I was hooked on this book by A. L. Long. I really enjoyed “Beneath Submission” it’s the 2nd book in the (An Unbreakable Series) and a great continuation from the first book. I found myself saying “just one more chapter” until I reached the end. This Story has lots going on that really held my interest and kept me glued till the end. I loved the Interesting, well written Storyline and the great, engaging characters. They had me hooked on their story from the first chapter. It’s an enjoyable, entertaining, intriguing, must Read Romance and I loved reading it.
In spite of the dark elements (abduction, sex for money, punishments), this was a surprisingly easy read. I thought the story flowed very well and the writing was well done and easy to read. It also drew me in immediately and pulled me along chapter after chapter. If you haven't read the first book, there will be some background elements that won't make sense at first, but I believe the reader can catch up.
Highly recommended.

This started out interesting and caught my attention. The more I read it seemed to jump around and for me there seemed to be a disconnect to the next subject. I couldn't catch the flow of the story and kept thinking there was something missing.

This book was sent to me, but I was unable to open it! I was really bummed because I have read the first book and it was amazing. I was really looking forward to reading this one as I'm sure it is amazing as well.

A history of being used and abused, Tess may have finally found her safe haven with Xavier. I haven't read the previous book so there are some holes I need to go back and fill. Overall, an intense page turner.

A truly memorable story with a tortured female lead. I found this hard to read at times with the treatment she received from Mr. Colin and Simon. I loved her relationship with Xavier. It was an eye opening account through the imagination of this author to what can happen to young women who find themselves without any control over their lives.
I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just could not get enough of it and once I started reading it I could not put it down. I recommend that you read it.

Continuing on from beneath deception, Tessa takes up the story. If you thought she had been through the mill in part 1’hang on to hat because she’s about to experience a living hell. I don’t want to give anything away but I will say some questions left open are answered in this book.
It was exciting to see what would happen to her all the time. It's like the saying goes if you are happy wait something will happen and it usually did for her until the very end

She thought she would always be with him but it ended and then he came back but she is sold to another. This one is really cruel and hard and she hopes he will come and get her. Will he? See if he will

Tessa and Xavier's story is frought with danger, destruction and twists i didn't see coming. I was so wrapped up in this book I could not put it down. It's an incredible duet.
This was another great book by A.L. Long. The chemistry in this story was booming. Hot and Sexy. Great storyline. Kept my attention and kept me wanting more.
