LASSOING THE VIRGIN MAIL ORDER BRIDE by Alexa Riley

Header Lassoing

Cash was a very lonely cowboy. Even though content with his life on the ranch, he longs for something more, that he believes he’ll never have, so he resigns himself to satisfy the ranch’s need for a feminine hand and decides to order himself a mail-order bride.

After her mother’s recent death, Clare finds herself alone and completely broke. With nothing and no one else to resort to she decides to give her fate away as a mail-order bride, since that way she will at least have something that she loves, the life on a ranch.

Cash and Clare thought the mail-order bride arrangement was the fastest and easiest solution to their problems. What they had no idea was that it would mean so much more for both of them. It would mean ALL their dreams come true…

Teaser Lassoing 1

As per AR fashion, from the moment they meet the chemistry was off the charts. But Clare won’t just give in easily to some growls. She is feisty and sure of herself, and that only fuels Cash’s caveman/cowboy manners more to life. And boy, oh boy, was Cash one possessive OTT hero!!!

Teaser Lassoing 3

He really was jealous of everyone and everything, where Clare was concerned. And he made literally no excuses for that. And that made Clare even hotter for him (I’m with you on that one, sister!!!)! 

Teaser Lassoing 2

Talking about steam, be prepared with a new pair of panties, a cold shower or definitely NOT reading this one in public, because even considering how sweet and inexperienced they both are (you won’t even realize 😉 ), and the fact that Cash managed to wait for his wedding night to actually have their first time, damn does this man like going down on his woman…

Teaser Lassoing 4

Of course she isn’t the only one ending up wet after this little number…

And that’s exactly what’s wanted and expected from a Alexa Riley’s story.

With so many uncertain things in our real lives, it’s fantastic to know that Alexa Riley’s books aren’t one of them. We always know a safe and orgasm-inducing little story is waiting for us!!! And that, like the sweet drug that it is, the high isn’t even over and we already want MORE, so please give us our next fix!!!

Curvy by Alexa Riley

Header Review Curvy

Flynn is the very definition of a workaholic businessman, and it has been getting worse since his father’s death. His company is everything he is interested in, and he’s completely devoted to it. That is, until one day in a meeting while discussing new strategy for a failing lingerie brand, one particular binder falls and reveals someone that completely and utterly steals his attention…

I’ve never had a reaction like this to a woman. I’m too old to get a fucking hard-on from seeing a woman in a picture. She’s not even naked. Just the sight of her in her underwear has me nearly bursting in my slacks.

He is instantly more than attracted, and it’s so funny to see him struggle to keep his bearings. Not that he succeeds…LOL

“Her name?” I push, and she reaches for the binder. I pull it back, not wanting it taken from me. Almost like a toddler with his favorite toy.

I really loved this initial scene, where we see all these different sides and reactions from him. And we immediately acknowledge the perfect H that he is and it’s set to makes us swoon at every turn. 

She tries to hand me another binder, but I have no desire to look at pictures of other women. What would be the point? They’d all pale in comparison. I’ve just seen perfection and I know nothing could beat it.

To be able to approach and meet her, he arranges for a photoshoot where she is hired as one of model. She has no idea that this photoshoot will change her life forever…

Cali is a plus size model, that has been working in the industry for some years. She is strong, confident and very comfortable in her skin. Of course she also has some hang-ups and moments of doubt, but those are part of our human nature.

I’ve got the body of a “real woman.” I think every size is beautiful. Every woman is a real woman: tall, short, thin, and big. Beauty comes in different shapes. I’d just prefer it if the sexy stuff came in my size more often.

Flynn was one of the most OTT obsessed Hs I have ever read. Sometimes it’s funny how he really can’t see reason where Cali is concerned. 🙂

“He’s gay, sir.”

“He won’t be when he sees her.” I find it completely unbelievable that there would be a man on earth who wouldn’t want her. I’d only seen a picture of her and I was obsessed. Consumed.  (Flynn to his executive about the photographer)

If he was already obsessed with her through her photos, that takes a whole new dimension when he sees her in person.

She’s definitely mine, and I’m never letting this angel go.

And upon the first touch, there is no coming back for either of them…

As soon as I make contact, it’s there, and so is the heat. It’s an instant attraction. It’s as if my soul has finally found its other half. (Flynn’s inner thoughts)

I can we not sigh? Alexa Riley’s always offers us amazing heroes, and this one is not exception. No one creates a dominant, obsessed and loyal like her. AR totally rocks this genre, how can I not be a die hard fan of her work? 😉

I’ll give her anything she wants. All she needs to do is ask. I will devote my life to waiting hand and foot on her if that’s what she desires. She is mine to protect and to cherish, always.

This story has the perfect balance of sweet, funny and steamy hot. An amazing OTT Hero and a fantastic heroine, and most importantly, off the charts chemistry! On a side note, I would like to point out that it was refreshing that there were no snappy comments or mean girl talk amongst the models. They only speculated and wanted a piece of Flynn, but come on, let’s be honest, who doesn’t? LOL

And now, I anxiously wait for my next AR fix! 😉

“How do you know?” she asks, and I can see the pleading in her eyes. “Because I didn’t exist until the day I saw you.”
