Looking for an alpha male in your new adult romance read?
You just found one.
"I love alpha males.... Yes I know Alpha males are the in thing but they need to be done right and in this book Drake is perfect." -Aurora Rose Reynolds, New York Times & USA Today bestselling author of the Until Series
Alexa is just your average college junior, attending classes and piloting Mile High Club charter flights. Boys haven't been on her radar for a couple years after a disastrous breakup with her high school sweetheart. Her plans to focus on school hit a bit of a snag when she meets bad-boy Drake Bennett and he sets his sights on making her his own.
Drake transferred to Blythe College for the rugby team, not for a new assortment of college girls. He's sexy and cocky, and he attracts women like moths to a flame. When he meets Alexa, Drake knows he's met his match. She tries to resist him, but Drake isn't used to taking no for an answer.
This is the first book in the Blythe College series. Push the Envelope does not have a cliffhanger.

Drake & Alexa
Not sure this actually 'pushed the envelope' all that much for me but it was a good story! I think if you took out all the swears (which there weren't all that much) you could in fact market this one as Young Adult! It's set in a college scene and the participants seem pretty innocent for the most part, at least our main female lead. It's not dark or dank and up until 80% it didn't have much angst either. That being said, it's also not light-hearted either... my guess, it's somewhere in-between!
Alexa is one of those girls you just can't help but look at and listen to. Youthful, smart, beautiful, and above all spirited. She's got the best of both worlds or so it would seem. She has a great relationship with her Father, an outstanding best friend, an excellent job, and the hottest guy on campus following her around like a lost puppy... what more could a girl want! Now Drake on the other hand, hmmmm, well, I honestly thought he was a jerk, and I'm not sure I'm convinced otherwise! I guess it's just me, but I simply can't stand rich college punks that live on "Daddy's" money. Now don't misunderstand me, that his how he came across to me from the get go... but he's not actually like that. I'll let you see for yourselves.
Great supporting characters in Jackson and his awesome sister Aubrey. If I were honest, I'd have to say I was rooting for Jackson from cover to cover. That boy screamed Alpha in everyway. Here's hoping that he gets a book! Aubrey was perfect! Always there when Alexa needed her, no questions asked! I especially liked how she flitted from guy to guy without a care in the world. It was almost like she had the sexual mentality of a dude! Right on! Alexa's daddio was basically what every girl needs, the best Dad in the world. He let her do her own thing and nudged her to do others she though she couldn't.
All in all, the pacing was a tad bit slow in the beginning and almost lost my interest, but stick with it, it gets better! The dialogue was ok, but I felt the storyline needed just a bit more angst and turmoil! Push the Envelope is 256 (Kindle version) pages long and I'm pretty sure it could have been a little bit less from what I got out of it! It's still a good story though!
3.5 Stars
Life is normal as always for college junior Alexa. She’s doing well in all her classes and in her spare time, she’s piloting unique charter flights for couples looking to spice up their relationships. Alexa isn’t looking for a relationship, especially after an awful breakup with her ex-boyfriend years ago. But what she didn’t count on was meeting Drake Bennett.
Drake transferred to Alexa’s school to be apart of their rugby team. He’s handsome, charming, and he has all the women at Blythe College begging to get a piece of him. None of them appeal to him, until he lays eyes on Alexa and falls hard.
Problem is, she doesn’t want anything to do with him. It’s a good thing he doesn’t take no for an answer.
I really had a fun time reading this book. A lot of books I've read have too much drama in them and it was refreshing and interesting to read a book where I didn't have to read page after page of drama. Yes, the storyline and characters were a bit predictable, but I didn't mine that because I truly liked the characters and the plot. It was a fun, enjoyable read that I would gladly read over and over because it was that enjoyable. The characters were also fun to read about because I could relate to them, which I love when I read a book!
I highly, highly recommend this book to everyone!
My favorite quotes:
“Not gonna happen. My dad raised me to go after what I want, and I want you. Thought I’d made that clear last night.”
“Now gimme a kiss to make looking p***y-whipped worth it.”
“Baby, you’re not just mine for the day. You’re mind period. I’ve had a taste of you now. Not letting you get away.”
Fast paced read that has the ever elusive rainbow unicorn…the perfect alpha. If you like your books with a strong hero that is dominate, sexy, sweet and knows how to take care of his lady, this is the book.
Both Drake and Alexa were great characters. Unfortunately, I felt that these characters would have worked better in a story when they were older. Both of them are mature and Drake doesn’t talk like any kind of college student I’ve ever heard. It kind of threw me off because he was hot and had all the dirty, sexy, sweet talk down pat but it was in a college setting and it just didn’t fit. A motorcycle club, absolutely! I wouldn’t have minded that a bit. Alexa is a pilot who has started a new service in her father’s chartering business. She’s seems to have it all together with the exception of men. I liked the way she stood up for herself when the time demanded it.
Other woman drama – some but not from a woman the hero had a relationship with
POV - heroine's with the hero’s POV as the epilogue
Epilogue – disappointing because it pretty much restated the drama that had occurred at the end of the book and did not give the reader a look into this couple’s relationship further down the road.
Completely safe
**Did I miss something? Because I don’t understand how the title relates to the story.**
Overall, I am so glad I read this book – rainbow alpha, remember – and I would love to read more from this author.

It was exactly what I expected. Alexa is a level headed, easy going girl who is at college to study so that once she graduates she can spend her days flying with her dad's charter airline business. After an unsettling episode at the end of her one and only relationship, guys aren't even on her radar. Until she meets Drake.
Drake Bennett is a rugby playing god with no end of girls hanging off of him. After meeting Alexa he can't seem to decide between rude and glaring or flirting. When he realises that she's not what he thought, he is determined not to let her get away. But will he keep making the mistake of misunderstanding her?
I really enjoyed this sweet story. Drake is a pretty nice guy even if he is a bit demanding. He knows when to back off and let her take the lead and it made me like him even more. Alexa was down to earth and didn't put up with or make excuses for his rude behaviour. The touch of drama near the end was interesting and well written. But it was also resolved neatly but not too quickly (it bothers me when there are instant apologies and everything goes back to normal!).
I was expecting some more rugby to be included. I don't think it was even mentioned what position Drake played in! But it didn't detract from the story.
I would definitely read more from this author.

I think what I struggled with most is that everything happened so fast, there were several time jumps and I couldn't really feel a genuine relationship being built. Also I wasn't a big fan of the male lead, there was just something about his character that rubbed me up the wrong way, it may have been how over-bearing he was the first time they had a real conversation.
All-in-all I wouldn't completely discount reading future works by this author if the blurb sounds appealing but I also won't go out of my way to seek those works out.
