I’ll stop at nothing to own her.
I’m a collector of dolls.
All kinds of dolls.

So beautiful and sexy, they become my art.
So perfect and flawless, my art galleries are flooded by the wealthy to gaze upon my possessions with envy.
So fragile and delicate, I keep them tucked away for safety.
The dark and torrid tales of Drayton’s Dolls run rampant through the rich and famous, and all but a few are true.
Normally I share my dolls for others to play with or watch on display.

But not my special doll.
No, not her.
Ivy is the most precious doll of all.
She’s mine. All mine.

*Scoundrels & Scotch is a dark billionaire romance. If you don’t like a splash of shock, a dash of taboo, and a heavy dose of dirty, then don’t take a sip of this TOP SHELF cocktail

4.0 out of 5 stars Living Dolls
Reviewed in Australia on 16 January 2018
Another great book in the Top Shelf series. This time around we meet Victor Drayton and the famous Drayton Dolls. Being one of the owners of Spiked Roses is how Victor meets his newest Doll, Ivy.
After losing her job at Spiked Roses Ivy is given a lifeline by Victor, become his newest Doll, see the world as part of his live art installation and be set for life. How can a young woman down on her luck possibly refuse.
The Dollhouse is more than Ivy could ever have imagined, opening her eyes, body and heart to things she didn't know she wanted. And she's not the only one.
So jump into this well written tale told by Ivy & Victor of the ups and downs they and the famous Drayton Dolls face.
While I did enjoy this story it didn't grab me as much as the previous books but it won't stop me from finding out what Spiked Roses has to offer next.

4.0 out of 5 stars Completely original
Reviewed in Australia on 19 January 2018
This is the latest in the Spiked Roses series and they have all been completely standalone, so don't worry if you haven't read the previous. This story intrigued me. I was equally drawn to it and creeped out by it. In the end the story is outstanding and like nothing I've read before. I was surprised at how much I liked the characters and look forward to the next in the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars In love with this cover.
Reviewed in Australia on 16 January 2018
I was so excited to get my hands on this book! The blurb and that cover hooked me! I wanted it and couldn’t wait until it landed on my Kindle. I dove right into the story and read it in one sitting. The story was well written and intriguing.

The world that Victor Drayton created with his dolls was fascinating and I wanted to read more, wanted to know what happened. However, along the way something happened, to make me lose interest; the dark, twisted, taboo world suddenly didn’t work. I struggled to feel the connection between Ivy and Victor…actually with any of the characters. This story had so much potential for more but in the end it just left me feeling let down.

It was easy to follow and I didn’t feel like I was missing anything from not reading the previous stories. It was a good story but I just wanted more.

I may never look at another doll the same again. Seriously Alta did a fantastic job with Scoundrels & Scotch. If you haven't read the Top Shelf series yet you really need to. With Ivy, I kind of expected her to fight being a Doll a little. But I was pleasantly surprised that she took to the life style so quickly and easily. Victor is a true artist and he loves and protects his living Dolls that's for sure. What happens in the Dollhouse is sensual, a little twisty and oh so good. The connection between Ivy and Victor is one that slowly builds as she becomes a Doll. Watch out because once she becomes his Doll the sparks take off igniting the pages. I love that we still get a little bit of the Spiked Roses in this one. If you haven't read any of Alta's books yet you really need to especially if you love dark and twisty. I've loved all the books in the series to date and so can't wait for more to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Drayton's Dolls
Reviewed in the United States on 25 January 2018

I am absolutely loving this series! I love the level of darkness and the originality of each story. The characters are well developed and from the very first story I felt invested in their lives. I don't really want to say anything about the plot, but I do want to warn about a borderline sexual assault scene that could trigger some people.
In this story we get to learn more about Victor Drayton and his dolls. I must admit that I have been curious about him since he was introduced in book one. Victor, and her dolls, weren't quite what I thought they would be, but I really liked the way they were portrayed. Ivy Adams is the female in this one, and as much as I loved her, I wish there had been a little more detail about her family situation. It wasn't necessary for the plot, I'm just curious about it. This is a fun, action-packed, fast-paced story with a lot of steamy love scenes. The emotions, that Alta Hensley describes so beautifully, suck me in and reaching the last page sends me into a bookfunk. I am very impatiently waiting for the next one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Is it time for book four yet?
Reviewed in the United States on 15 January 2018

Okay, I have to say I was leery about this book. Why you ask? I really have no idea, seriously, it was just something in my brain that really made absolutely no sense. Especially, if you knew about all the books I've read, ha ha! Maybe I just saw that creepy doll from the movie in my brain, Annabelle, I think? But I knew this wasn't a horror story! So, I read the ARC and was hooked from page one and the author successfully dragged me (I actually ran) through the rest of the book, although I only kicked and screamed at the very, very beginning. After I got going, and couldn't stop (no surprise), I had a blast! So, I've bought the book to add to my collection and that, right there, says it all ;) Don't miss book three, it reads as a standalone but why not read the first two as well. You'll be sorry if you don't! Just sayin' Quit reading here, buy and read the book!
