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

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.

Welcome to The Dollhouse

Reviewed in Australia on 27 February 2019

This book follows Victor and Ivy. It also give us our first glimpse into The Dollhouse and The Dolls.
I loved this book. It was intense and gritty and utterly amazing!

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.

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’M HERE TO OFFER YOU A JOB—TO BECOME A DRAYTON DOLL

Reviewed in the United States on 17 January 2018

Once again, Ms. Alta Hensley has penned a story that is spine-tingling, on-the-edge-of-your-seat, I can’t look, but I can’t look away page-turning tale. There is a unique cast of characters, some you will hate, some will have you hot and bothered, and some, you just aren’t sure about. The characters and situations are explicated detailed. The story is not for those who want wine and roses with a sweet storyline. The story is raw, edgy, dirty, painful, intense, explicit and erotic. If you don’t like a splash of shock, a dash of taboo, and a heavy dose of sex, then don’t take a sip of this TOP SHELF cocktail.

Ivy Adams calls herself a white trash girl from Mississippi. She had a miserable childhood, with a drunken and abusive father. When she got her chance, she moved away and had been working as a waitress at the Spiked Roses private gentlemen’s club. But a drug test will shatter that dream when she tests positive. Having nowhere to go, sending most of her money to her sister who is caring for their ailing father, she is at her wits end until Victor Drayton makes her an offer, to become one of the famous Drayton Dolls.

Victor Drayton is an artist. “One who pushed to boundaries of taboo, sexual deviance, and hidden desires. Twisted, wrong but delightfully right.” He is also one of the seven managing members of the Spiked Roses club, and they were men who didn’t hide the fact that they were rich, ruthless, dark, twisted, and had the power and resources to do whatever they chose.

The plot will have Ivy going to work for Victor and moving to the Dollhouse where she will undergo rigorous training and choreography of posing, dancing, and becoming a life-size doll. “If I have to be the token white trash broken doll someone bought on clearance at the discount story to travel to exotic places, so be it.” “It’s about the contrast. The are is about the light and dark, the good and the bad, the innocence and tainted.”

“Sex is beauty. Sex is art. You’ll be trained on how sex can also be twisted, dark, taboo. You’ll soon be taught there is no shame in desire, but there is shame in denial of pure and animalistic thoughts and actions. You’ll learn to not only expose your body freely but your soul when you are performing my art. You’ll be trained in how to make your body look stiff like a doll, controlled by a make-believe puppet master, delicate and dainty, but also extremely haunting and eerie.”

“Drayton’s Dolls don’t just ripple through the art society; it is a tidal wave.”

“It’s about structure, discipline, accepting a level of twisted reality, and releasing the woman so you can become the doll. When I tell you to do something, whether it is a command or a request, you are to do exactly as I say. I expect and almost robotic nature in response to everything.”

The story will take the reader into the Dollhouse, the training, the preparations for an art exhibit. The mindset of Ivy as she transforms into a Drayton Doll. It is also the beginning of a claiming and possession for Victor to know that Ivy isn’t just a doll, she is much more, and he isn’t willing to share. He becomes obsessed with her and not wanting to share her with others. Cancelling her appearance and leaving her behind along with an injured doll and two new dolls that aren’t ready to showcase.

“I had no intention of sharing my doll. She was my toy. And I’d never learned how to share well with others.”

The story will take on a sinister nature of life and death, and not everyone will survive. The story and sex scenes are explicit; the art shows are taboo and detailed. The story has some shock and awe events, and not all of it is good. The fourth story in the series, Devils & Rye will release March 27, 2018.

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.

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!
