Doc: a Club Alias novel Kindle Edition
I’m not your average therapist. As the founder of Imperium Security—the cover for my mercenary team—I’ve dedicated my entire life to helping heal those who’ve had their power unwillingly taken from them and avenging the ones who didn’t survive.
A decade after creating the perfect team, I’ve now watched as every one of my brothers-in-arms has met and married their perfect match, the special women who were meant for them—because not just any woman is cut out to be the wife of a mercenary. And it was through one of these matches I finally met The One, the woman of my dreams, the one I’ve sworn to help heal and protect above all others.
Astrid Quill, Makeup Artist
It was only supposed to be for the weekend, but then all hell broke loose, and I went from just staying with Doc so my sister could have a worry-free romantic getaway with her honey, to living with him for an entire year.
Oh, boo-hoo, poor me, trapped in this amazing, state-of-the-art mansion with a dog who loves the hell out of me. And not trapped because Neil won’t let me go. Heavens, no. Neil is dreamy and a real-life hero, and he tries everything to help me step foot back into the world. It’s a self-imposed prison, because nothing good ever came of me being out in the wild.
I made a promise nearly a decade ago that I’d never let myself fall in love again. Love brought pain, both emotional and physical, and the last time I was in love, I barely escaped with my life. But I’m finding it harder to resist this magnetism between us, especially when he makes it perfectly clear he wants me and only me.
No, Doc isn’t your average therapist.
So is he the one man who can not only save me from my past, but also heal my heart?

About the author

Click the Follow button above to receive notifications when KD releases a new book!
USA Today Bestselling Author KD Robichaux wanted to be a romance novelist since the first time she picked up her mom's Sandra Brown books at the ripe old age of twelve. She went to college to become a writer, but then married her very own alpha and had babies. Putting her dream job on hold to raise her family as a stay-at-home mom who read entirely too much, she created a blog where she could keep her family and friends up-to-date on all the hottest reads. From there, by word of mouth, her blog took off and she began using her hard-earned degree as a full-time editor. When her kids started school, and with the encouragement from her many author friends, she finally sat down and started working on her first series, The Blogger Diaries, her own real-life romance. She’s now published more than twenty stories in many different genres of romance.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI was so excited for this book, the anticipation almost killed me! I thought there was no way that the story was going to be able to live up to the the hype and the build up, but the author blew this story totally out of the water! It is full of emotions, and support, and love and beauty! It's an amazing story, focusing on healing, and moving on after horrific events. But there is also enough danger, intrigue and mystery to keep even the toughest critic glued to the story!
Astrid is a damaged woman. She has had a hard life, dangerous and violent. She is just beginning to find out who she is again, and who she wants to be. But with a strong support system, and a man that just won't let her quit, she is getting stronger every day, moving a little further down a healing path that leads to a future that is bright with promises.
Doc is my favorite character of the series, just because he seems so mysterious! He has his own tragic past, one he holds close to his heart, one that has shaped him into the man he is today. But he also has a future, one that he has to be careful with, but one that promises to be amazing!
I can't say enough how amazing Doc & Astrid's story was. The entire series has been wonderful, but I really think this one was my favorite, because it shows how healing this lifestyle can be, in the right circumstances, and how even horrific circumstances can't change who you are inside. I loved how supportive Doc was, and how brave Astrid was. It was definitely a beautiful story, one that is brimming with hope for the future. Definitely worth the wait!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseFirst, this book may contain triggers for some. So, please, take warning!
If you like 50 Shades of Grey, Bared To You (Crossfire Series) and other BDSM/Romance this is for you.
After dark events of family and friends bring them together, Astrid Quill- Makeup Artist, ends up roommates with therapist- Dr. Neil Walker, M.D., M.F.T., Ph. D. and founder of Imperium Security, as he promises to heal and protect her. My heart ached, as these two broken souls struggle between denial of love and falling in love to heal and protect one another. Then, just when you think they found a way to make it work, danger rears its ugly head. And, they have no choice, but, to trust each other. No spoilers here, but, you’re gonna want to read what happens.
The characters are beautifully written and drag you into their world! Alternating between both main characters perspective, you get a clear path into their thoughts and emotions. Also, the author delightfully brings in a bit of her own personality through style and slang. Hot sex, romance, great comic relief, strong fear and angst make this, one wild roller coaster. It’s got it all! You’ll find yourself both cursing and cheering, throughout. (I fully confess to crying and laughing out loud.) And, I binged this one, like there was no tomorrow!
As the fourth book in the Club Alias series, you can read it as a stand alone. But, it’s the icing on the cake to revisit the old friends from prior books. So, if you haven’t read the others, and like this one, I absolutely suggest you pick them up, too.
This one gets 5 out of 5 flames from me!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseWowza, is Doc the best or what? The care and patience this man has is next level. He cares for other people and he wants to help them heal, but most of all, he wants to help Astrid, the love of his life. A heartwarming book ❤️!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseSo I've read every book by Kayla, I started with the blogger diaries and was hooked. I've loved her club alias books because who doesn't love a strong sexy alpha dom?? I always had the feeling from the first moment i read about Doc that i just loved him and couldn't wait to hear his story. I was one of the readers that was like gimme loll but I didn't realize just how much i was going to fall in love with him.
Doc and his goddess are just perfect, after everything Astrid went through and all her traumas he was the perfect one for her. His quiet unbreakable strength and love are exactly what she needed. Going through being a victim of abuse and rape takes so much from you and finding someone who will help you fight your way back to who you are is an incredible feeling. I related to Astrid so much being a survivor that i don't believe Kayla could have written her better. I love how strong she got and how she made her come back fighting without losing that sweetness she has.
I absolutely fell in love with these people and this Is my favorite book by her, I wish I was friends with them!! I think the way she had them go about exploring and healing together was absolutely perfect and realistic. Thank you Kayla for really showing how you can survive, thrive and love again after some really horrific things because you can. It takes work, patience and some hard honesty with forgiveness towards one self but you did it babe! Amazing job, just thank you.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI swear I fall in love with every guy in this series, but THIS one really grabbed me. I couldn’t put it down. She writes the main characters so that you can relate to them. You hope that you can meet them in real life. This book is part of a series that I know I’ll be reading multiple times.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is my first KD Robichaux novel and I’m in love! The characters, the story line, the swoony goodness!! It’s all perfection!
Sweet Doc, who not only is a renowned therapist, but also a dreamy, alpha Dom. He’s been helping bring feisty, adorkable Astrid back to life after escaping trauma she suffered at the hands of her vicious ex. Finally Astrid begins to come out of her shell and Doc is able to show her just how he feels about her. But the drama and action doesn’t end there...
Everyone should have their own Doc! He’s one dreamy book boyfriend! And you can’t help but love Astrid! She refuses to stay down and fights to get her life back with the help of Doc and her family. I love these two and can’t wait to read the books for the rest of the Club Alias gang. EXCELLENT READ!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is BD$M done right. The story of how, when combined with the right therapy, it can be a pathway to healing.
The writing of this story was marvelous. Ms Robichaux writes trauma in such a devastatingly understated way that it hits you twice as hard when you realise what is actually happening. The intimacy was just top notch - as you would expect when one character is a $ex therapist/part-owner of a BD$M club. The characters were wonderful to read. Everything felt appropriate - there were no caricatures.
This book is part of a series that I am clearly reading in the wrong order. I started with book 6 and now I’ve read book 4. The two five-star reviews should tell you it can be quite easily read as a standalone - but if you’re anything like me, you’ll want to go back and read where it all starts.
Which is exactly what I’m about to do now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love heals
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI have been excited to read this final chapter in the alias series since I finished Knight and I was not disappointed.
New to BDSM as a genre I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and the beautiful blending of action and emotion. She gives us such a blend of what a man should be, tough and protective and yet careful of his woman and her emotions.
You will thoroughly enjoy DOC and Astrid’s story and how they heal each other while falling in love.
If you haven’t read the series it won’t matter, but really, do yourself a favour and read them anyway
