Yes, this book is exactly what the blurb/warning says it is...and knowing exactly what it was, it was perfect. It lived up to everything that was promised. There wasn't any angst, there wasn't any extreme drama...it was nice and light and hot and steamy and OMG steamy.

So for that, the story is a 5 star read for me.

I'm not typically an insta-love fan. It takes a special author to be able to pull it off so it's not cheesy, but this worked for me. Paine is definitely an alpha male! He saw what he wanted and he went after it. It didn't matter that she was taken, he went and claimed her for himself.

I can't wait to read more by Alexa Riley!

I received an ARC for an honest review.

4.5 stars! And by the end of this review, I'm definitely going to 'ruin' the surprise of what is at the end of this book!

Okay, so first off, this is definitely as hot all the other Alexa Riley books. I loved it, it's full of dirty talk, stalking - although I like to call it old fashioned romance when you want it - and a man on a mission to get his girl.

Yes, they just met, and yes, they're in love. So I guess people who hate insta-love will hate this, but given I knew upon setting eyes on my man that I wanted to be with him and have his babies, I can dig this.

There's a bit of drama going on in the background involving her family and her father wanting to marry her off - which I thought was super gay because really, her brother's a cop, and that's not legal and her grandma clearly has money so why not take her and leave? But you know, there has to be drama somewhere.

As for the extra? It's exactly what I wanted! Law & Joey in a shorter novella length that also gives a little more info behind the story but is just an extra bit of smut where everyone wants to 'breed'.

Holy moly smut Batman! This was a quick and totally smuttiness everywhere book. This is my first book by the author but I think I'll check out her other books while I'm all in a smutty mood. Yes, it is way over the top but it's hot and there's some great dirty talking going on so there is that. Yeah, I had a minute or two for all of that. Whew!

Grade: B+

You actually get two stories. The first one is about Paine and Penelope, which was ok. I wasn't feeling that one too much, got a bit bored. I prefer the second story, which was about Law and Josephine. Their story was a bit more believable. Overall they were good enough to read but left me unsatisfied. Both stories was lacking that oomph, that finesse.

Too fast

I liked the first book as unrealistic as it was but this one felt too fast paced for me. It definitely lived up to the warning.

“Answer me, Duchess. You taking anything to keep me from breeding you?”



Ummmm I'm not sure I can get on board with this 'I'm gonna breed you' thing. I'm not altogether surprised about that to be honest but I got this free an age ago and after reading Curvy I thought this was worth a try. I like dirty talk as much as the next girl but a guy telling you he is going to 'breed' you isn't sexy. No ifs, buts or ands about it.

3.5 stars
Her books are just so damn addicting...

4.0/5 stars
