I’ve only read one other by this author but have always had it in the back of my mind to read more of her books so when I saw this come up for review I jumped on it and I am so freaking glad I did

- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2018Each time I read an Alessandra Torre novel, I am more and more impressed. Her stories are always thought provoking and intriguing. I know I have never read a story like the ones she writes.
She gives us unique storylines and characters who you want to hate but love anyway. Hidden Seams is no different. I was interested in this story once I read the blurb. Once I started reading the story I couldn’t put it down. I don’t want to say much about the storyline because as with all her books, you will want to experience and unravel all that is in this story for yourself.
This story will have your mind reeling and your emotions all over the place. I laughed at times, I cried in parts, I definitely blushed, but I also fell in love while reading this story. Ms. Torre is a fantastic writer and is someone every reader should experience.
Hidden Seams is Ms. Torre’s latest standalone novel. It is told in Dual POV and can be read and enjoyed without reading any of her other books. In this story you will follow the journey of Marco and Avery. This is a story about finding oneself. It is a story that is filled with lies, secrets and betrayals, but also humor, love and sexy times. I thought this story moved at the perfect pace and that the flow of the story was effortless. You can’t help but get sucked into this story and these characters lives. After all the secrets are revealed, will Marco and Avery be able to find the happiness they both deserve?? Read this story to find out.
I loved that we got to see some cameos from other characters in some of her other books. You don’t have to read those books first because they are in no way related to Hidden Seams, it was just nice seeing them again. I hope to see Marco and Avery again in the future :)
So if you are a fan of a unique storyline and a novel full of secrets then this is a book you should read. Also if you are already a fan of Alessandra’s writing, then you don’t want to miss out on this latest GEM!!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2018I thought I knew what to expect in Hidden Seams going in. But if I've learned anything about Alessandra Torre over the years, it's that she's a master manipulator where her readers are concerned. She's brilliant at creating a story that is both captivating and confusing. She pushes boundaries and stretches the limits of one's comfort more and more with each new story. She toys with her readers, luring them in one direction only to halt them in their tracks with twisted revelations, with shocking secrets, with hidden seams. So, true to form, this book quickly evolved into a story I never saw coming, one I couldn't predict, and one I couldn't put down.
I adore a good romance and I love a story that's drenched in sensuality and steamy eroticism. But I truly appreciate a storyline that makes me think, forces me outside the box, tests my limits. Marco Lent will make you question everything. He's as magnetic as he is perplexing. His wholly unorthodox lifestyle and the messy course of events that transpire once Avery McKenna sends it spiraling out of control make for one seriously unpredictable concept. My mind was boggled. These characters are so different, rarely relatable, often misunderstood... But, still, I loved them.
The banter between EVERY single character in this book is so sharp, so quick witted, so smart. I'm not sure if this book was intentionally funny but it really was. You can't help but giggle at the fiery barbs being thrown around, the underhanded digs and the sarcastic one offs. The characters in this book are so colorful, the story rife with well timed humor. But Hidden Seams is also incredibly intense. These are incredible personalities in an extraordinary situation; tensions are high, emotions are right on the edge and the sexual chemistry is brimming. This is both a book that you can curl up with and let it sweep you away and one you'll be turning the pages hungrily just to see where this can go, how this crazy dynamic will play out, what will become of this unbelievably twisted situation once the threads start coming loose.
Hidden Seams is a little out there, if I'm being honest. The whole vibe is much different than anything I'd expect from this author. It's silly at times, sexy always. It's a bit wild, certainly more far fetched, I think, than anything this author has written before. But it's FUN. And adorably romantic. And completely unpredictable. And super sexy. And it'll make you smile. It's light and sweet and moving in the most unexpected ways. It's all a bit crazy but in only the best ways. Hidden Seams is quirky and sexy and uniquely Alessandra Torre. I really adored it.

well written, excellent story, l loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marco and Avery
This was a quick fun read. I laughed out loud many times. I liked the twists and the final outcome. I liked the passion, the humor and the serious nature of the story! I love this author!
- BrinaReviewed in Germany on July 21, 2019
3.0 out of 5 stars I expected a slightly different story
After reading the first few chapters, I didn’t even know what to think except for “What the hell am I reading here?” In a typical Alessandra Torre style, she took the “boy-meets-girl” scenario to a whole different level. How does she come up with those stories? What a brilliant mind she has.
The storyline was interesting and so intriguing. I haven’t read a story quite like this before; I was so impressed. Marco and Avery were quite the characters. They couldn’t be any more different: their background story, their current lives, their occupation, their living arrangements etc. How would they even fit together?
The characters fit well into the story, even though I didn’t like them very much. Marco was odd and too posh and spoiled for my taste. I couldn’t really connect with him. I never knew where I stood with him. I had similar issues with Avery too.
Their relationship was very fast-paced and too fast for my liking; especially when I compare it to the slow-burn of Love in Lingerie.
Hidden Seams is a one of a kind story and even though I was missing something, it’s worth the read. Alessandra Torre’s mind is brilliant and I want everyone to experience her words and her stories because you won’t find them somewhere else in a book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adored this original, incredible ride...
I thought I knew what to expect when I one clicked “Hidden Seams”. The cover looks like your typical good, steamy romance that I enjoy. I adore a good romance and I love a story that's drenched in sensuality and steamy eroticism, so this was right up my alley...
However I should have known there would be nothing typical about this book because its Alessandra Torre after all! Her lateral mind is incredible and the way she weaves a story both captivates and pushes my boundaries.
Now, that being said, the writing is always excellent. She’s a talented writer, and she is the master of weaving a storyline to keep the reader guessing where she’ll take them next.
So, true to form, “Hidden Seams” was a utterly unique story that I never saw coming, stretched the limits of my comfort zone and one I couldn't put down until the final swipe.
I mean let’s just start with the premise of this book... a straight man, leading the life of a gay man, standing by his “partner” for 10 years, who is about to inherit a fashion empire upon his partner’s death. When out of the blue a potential heir comes into play and the entire house of cards looks like it could come crashing down...
‘Hidden Seams’ is a little out there, truth be told. It's a wild, far fetched, unpredictable ride while still being fun And uniquely romantic. It's a bit crazy but in the best ways. The characters were fantastic, the dialogue fast paced, witty and well timed and the intensity fierce. ‘Hidden Seams’ is quirky and sexy and uniquely Alessandra Torre. I really adored it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not my favorite
I love Alessandra Torre, I've read every single one of her novels but this one just missed the mark for me. I actually love the idea of the story but I feel like the relationship between Marco and Avery felt flat. I didn't feel the strong bond and love between the two that should have been there. I felt like throughout the book I was waiting for something to happen that just never seemed to arise. I'm giving this book 3 stars because of Alessandra and the talent she has as an author. I truly believe in her I just think this one was a miss
