This was just an okay read for me. I liked the heroine and her feistiness, the hero was an alpha male, but one I didn't love. They were great together and there were hot sex scenes. This book had a cliffhanger ending. The ending was not a good one. I am not sure if I am interested in reading the next book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I really enjoyed this book was a great read and i cannot wait for the second one.I just loved Alex and Jessica the chemistry between was off the charts a super read would recommend.

This was an okay read for me. I liked the stories as well as the characters. Jessica and Alex have great chemistry. Alex is all alpha male and Jessica is a bit wary of that, not to mention Alex has plenty of secrets. Could use a bit of editing but entertaining, I would like to give the next book a chance.

Was a good read and it's not something I would normally read but thought I would give it ago as you just don't know if a book is going to pull you in and your going to love it. Unfortunately this didn't make me love it but is worth ago and will try this author again. As sometimes it's how you feel with some books which makes them hit it miss. Will try this book again in the future. Ive left review on Amazon.uk

The story needed more development and seemed rushed Alex is very bossy and alpha which I love but nothing makes this story stand out from others in this genre

I found the story be quite interesting with a good set of characters. Good overall writing. Thanks!

Sigh...I had high hopes for Beneath Him. It has a possessive alpha determined to woo a feisty, independent woman, just my thing. But, the execution is sadly lacking, I'm afraid. Alex is the alpha in question. He's rich, hot, possessive, domineering and way too CONTROLLING! He meets Jessica when she literally runs into him in his offices, where she is the makeup artist on a shoot for the magazine he owns. He has one look (and feel) of her and he wants more, he wants all of her. "I'm demanding and relentless when I go after something I want." His head pulls back, and his eyes bore into mine, holding me captive. "I want you, Jessica. All of you and nothing less."

Well, he gets her, after driving her absolutely mad calling and texting her, but only her body, at first. She's been burned in the past by a controlling man, so she's not about to let her heart get broken by another rich guy who only sleeps with a woman, then discards her when he acquires another toy. So it's only sex, or at least that's the charade Alex agrees to before he drops the bombshell that he wants all of her. She can't help but to go along with it, because he's hot, and great in bed. But, at the end right before that ubiquitous cliffhanger, she gets her heart broken all over again. How could she have been stupid enough to give into this man?!

I really like Jessica, she's the sole reason I didn't rate this lower. She's smart, feisty and independent. Alex is pretty much just a caricature of the possessive, controlling alpha. There's nothing particularly interesting or outstanding about him. He's like every other guy in romances, but without the depth that makes an alpha truly special.

And then there's the fact that C. Shell's writing is choppy. I'd suggest she learn how to use apostrophes, because without them, the language in her writing is much too formal and stilted. It took me out of the book every other sentence and made reading Beneath Him uncomfortable. I am interested in learning what happens in the next book, but not sure if I'll remember to check back to see if it's ever published. Considering that Beneath Him was published last year and I don't see a sequel anywhere, I'd say the chances of the sequel any time soon are about 0.

A good tightening of everything in Beneath Him would have been really helpful. Fleshing out Alex a lot would go a long way toward making him palatable. And some language readjusting too, would help. If all these things are done in the sequel (if one is ever published), then perhaps it would be a story worth reading. As Beneath Him stands, though, it's not that great and not worth a second read.
