Everything was fine until that innocent little rich girl walked into my garage. Since the second I laid my eyes on her, all I've wanted to do is get my dirty hands on her pure body.

There's one minor obstacle standing in my way, but I've got a plan. All I've got to do is claim her, and she’ll be mine forever.

Warning: This book is over-the-top, insta-love. There's nothing but steamy scenes, babies trying to be made, and an obsessed bearded alpha hero claiming a virgin who will be his forever. If you want it hot and dirty, this is it!

*whispers* There's a sweet smutty surprise at the end!

I don’t mind insta-love reads, as long as they’re done in a believable way. Even though there was a warning in the blurb, it really was over-the-top! Girl walks into a garage, man fixes car and when she can’t pay immediately, he basically forces her into a sex act. I was like really? You are twenty one year old virgin, and even though he didn’t penetrate, he didn’t even think about suiting up, where is your brain?

Paine is an over-the-top alpha male… he was determined to make Penelope his at every encounter. He wanted to claim her in every way, even though she was supposed to be engaged to someone else. And he thought of her like cattle: “I can’t wait until I breed her.” Like seriously, who thinks that after just meeting a girl? I like the idea of meeting a guy, getting to know one another before starting a family. It doesn’t have to happen straight away, geez…

Penelope seemed like a shy girl, who was unsure of herself. I really wanted her to put on her big girl panties and stand up for herself. She let her father dictate her life and forced her into marrying someone. She let Paine take control of everything, without any fight. Even when she had to go home, he made her take his phone… why? Hers worked just fine! Some elements just seemed too twisted for me.

The extra story in the back was along the same lines too, insta-love, a little conflict, and wanting to breed the girl. Honestly, I would’ve enjoyed it more if the author took more time to build the world, develop the characters and create a more believable plot. If you are looking for an erotic read (because there are plenty of smut scenes), featuring over-the-top alpha males and very little character development, by all means, give this one a whirl. 

Here is a little snippet of Paine trying to convince Penelope that he wants her.

“Then trust that no matter what is happening, I’ll take care of it. I’ve got all the money you could ever need and a house to keep you in. There isn’t anything I won’t do to make you happy, and no lengths I won’t go to fix what’s hurting you. You’re mine, that’s the bottom line.”

I’m Alexa Riley! Mom, wife, and business woman by day and smut writer by night. I specialize in the Dirty Date Night reading. I wrote my first book, Owning Her Innocence, because well, I just couldn’t find any daddy books to my liking. So I sat down and just started writing, bringing the fantasies I find myself often dancing to in the dark of night to life, one page at a time.

Alexa Riley is my alter ego. I can’t let the other soccer moms know what I’m up to or the guys at work for that matter. Little do they know that they’ve got nothing on my dirty talk.

I’m here to give you a quick fix of filthy dirty smut. Got a few hours to kill? Then I’m what you’re looking for.
