Far fetched, The story starts out with a girl who is a student focused on academics. She doesn't attend parties. Not at all. She agrees to waitress a party for her BFF and here is where this first goes off the rails. While at this party, she sees the guests going into a different room and so she goes to check it out..suddenly she is following a mysterious man who tells her to strip AND SHE DOES! Without question. For a stranger. Then she lets him bound her to a table and has sex with him in front of viewers. Nope. From there it went from bad to worse. This doesn't work as a fantasy, as a contemporary romance or as erotic fiction. It feels forced and as though it is trying to be all things.

This was billed as erotic bdsm suspense. I don't remember any suspense in what I read. The subtitle is Hidden Truth, and I'm not sure what was hidden, either. The story was too short for their to be anything which remained a surprise for long.

This is one of those college girl falls for her dom professor, with every single cliche in the genre. On top of that, it was poorly written, with egregious grammatical errors. And yes, for some people, those mistakes don't impact their enjoyment of a book. Grammar, poor or otherwise, can make or break a book for me. In this case, bad grammar was just another nail in the coffin.

I cannot recommend this book unless you want to use it as a template for writing college girl falls for her dom professor in every shape imaginable. In that case, go for it.

I enjoyed several aspects of this story. I the central premise of the story to be a solid one. I liked April and Vanessa as characters. I thought it moved along as a good pace as well. The author had a nice dialogue flow in the characters. It felt natural and not artificial. I didn't like some of the cliches in the story. I found Mr. Prescott to be unbelievable at times. I found his situation possible, but his handling of it weak for a dominant. Overall, while I did enjoy some elements, I found more holes than i would have liked. The development of the story and characters could have been stronger and thus I am not as impressed as I might have been. It failed to deliver what was promised.

Sirius: Hidden Truth—a standalone novel by A.L. Long—was an enthralling novel that will surely leave you breathless!

Sirius—Hidden Truth starts just like any typical novel where a smart, college girl named April needs scholarship—yes, it may start as a cliché but believe me, there’s more to it. So, as the story flows, a complication will arise, her rudely teacher will be replaced by a superb hot teacher named Mr. Prescott. Mr. Prescott is smart, sexy—he is exactly the man of every girl’s dream—or should I say the man every girl fantasizes about?

The story will slowly unravel more complication that will make you grit your teeth. I don’t want to give spoilers for the readers, but believe me, the story is so good and well written that you will not even know the book is already finished! There is also some action, family drama, and mystery in the latter part of the book, and it balanced the story well.

The story’s characters were pretty few so you won’t get confused. The writing style was perfectly understandable, no annoying extra scenes that are nonsense, and the details were described vividly—you will definitely feel everything April felt—her annoyance, her excitement, her confusion—everything! As in you’ll literally gasp when you find out the Hidden Truth.

The plot of the story was so good and was on point—and I think, in my opinion, there’s a part that we can all relate to it. Every one of us had their deepest, darkest secret, right? No, not the sexual approach, but some secret that we can’t just let out— it’s so hard to confide that secret to people unless you really trust and love that person deeply—wait, did I left you thinking about that secret? Uhuh. I know. Well, What are you waiting for? Grab a copy of the book so you won’t be the last to know about the Hidden Truth.

This was a Quick erotica / romance between April and Dominic/Sirius/Sir.
April goes to a mansion to help cover a catering job for her friend and through her curiosity ends up getting a little taste of a sex club. I struggled with the heroine who was a little too naive and accepting of events at times. If you want a quick read with a HEA between a university student and a professor and all details wrapped up neatly (and perhaps a little too quickly) then this is a story for you.

April agrees to help out her friend covering her catering job when a whole new world is introduced to her. Dominic sees April and wants her, he volunteers to teach an economics class that April happens to be in will he get is wish to have April? Fast-paced read with plenty of drama, the characters have amazing chemistry and the story held my interest throughout. A good read.

Very good romance. I liked the two main characters and there was a little bit of suspense.

Sirius by A.L. Long this is the story of April Barnes and Dominic Prescott. April was just helping out her friend Vanessa when she walked into a totally different environment then what she is used too. Dominic wants April from the start and moves to complete the goal of getting her.
This was a quick hot read that you can't put down. I hope to read more books by this author!

I hate giving negative reviews but for me the story was dissapointing. There were just too many times April acted unrealisticly and events in the story that just didn't make sense to me.
