Taking What's Mine

Alone at night in the middle of nowhere. The town sheriff pulls me over. I should be safe.

I'm not.

Nothing could have prepared me for what he had planned. And my darkest desires should have remained a secret. But it seems he knows everything about me.

I'm his now, and only I will do.

Taking What's Ours

You can't tease two alpha men like Hudson and Ridge and not expect consequences, not when you've become their every obsession.

They have a target...but their one obstacle has long legs, thick curves, and a mouth made for sin.

They do everything together, and Charlotte is no exception. She tempted them...and now they've come to collect. Together.

Can they take what they want and still stick to the plan? Five feet, seven inches of lush addiction says no.

Taking What's Hers

We've all been that girl.

Maybe you did a little social media stalking to check him out. Maybe you just drove by his house to see if he was home. Maybe you took it a step further and followed him once or twice.

We've all gone a little crazy over a guy before.

I went a little crazy. That's how Archer Ware ended up tied to the bed. I should probably feel bad about it, and maybe once I get what I want, I will. But right now he's mine, and that's all I care about.

This isn't the forced submission story you're used to. Valentina will stop at nothing to have the man she wants, and Archer can only take what she gives.

Warning: Obsession beyond control. These books contain situations involving forced submission and dubious consent. Nothing can stop them from having what they feel is theirs. These themes are triggers for some, but sweet candy for others. If you're willing to hold off judgment until the last page, the ending is worth it, I promise.

BONUS: Bundle includes never before seen epilogues for all three stories & chapter 1 of TAKING WHAT’S HIS!

Taking What's Mine


So freaking hot! I already know it's safe for me because if it ends differently, it surely will be a dnf for me.

The story is about Colton and Rose.

He's a sheriff and she's a school teacher.

The story is pure smut. I loved it! And it has a nice epilogue.


SAFETY:




Taking What's Ours


It's different than the first one but still a good one. It's funny that I know the stories are safe and yet, finding out the twists gave me relief.

It's about Hudson, Ridge and Charlotte.

Hudson and Ridge are inmates and she's the prison doctor and the warden's girlfriend.

It has an epilogue


SAFETY:




Taking What's Hers


I'm not really into h being the one to stalk the H or to make the first move but I made an exception for this one. I enjoyed the story and I loved how obsess they were to each other. It's crazy! And so far, this one is my favorite.

The story is about Archer and Valentina.

She's an intern at his company for six months now. She wants him and thought he didn't notice her. If she only knew how much he wants her too.

It has a cute epilogue.

Taking What’s Mine - 3*

This book features Sheriff Colton and his obsession Rose.
He’s planned for this, taken photos, read her diary and waited for the last day of school. He pulls her over and puts his plan into action.
It starts off dark but because this is an Alexa Riley book we know we’re also going to get the sweet.


Taking What’s Ours - 3*

I have to admit this book had me worried for a while I just couldn’t see where the sweet was going to come in and this author always gives us sweet.
It starts hard and dark and the rape scene felt like a rape whereas it hadn’t in the previous book.

Hudson and Ridge might be inmates but have planned and waited for six months and now it’s time to put their plan into action. They bribe the guards and get their one hour with the Doctor Charlotte.

This wasn’t my favourite book but I imagine I’ll enjoy it more on the re-read.


Taking What’s Hers - 3.5*

I’ll admit I nearly skipped this one. I like a dominant alpha male and the idea of a young female stalking and then capturing and restraining a man just didn’t sit well.

But then I remembered who’d written this book.

Valentina is young, innocent and bat shit crazy where Archer Ware is concerned. And it was a little uncomfortable at first when she’s in full on stalker mode until I discovered that Archer is just as crazy.

These two make the perfect pair and surprisingly this turned out to be my favourite book so far in this series.

I read each book individually but I bought the book bundle here. As it was cheaper and I enjoyed all of these.
I have an individual review of each book. So I don't think it's worth me repeating them all here.
Worth it for me.

A bundle of naughty, explicit desires signed by the always creative imagination of Alexa Riley. You can't miss it if you know her style. If you don't, have a taste and you won't regret it if your mind deviates towards the obsessive desire of possessive men who don't like barriers of any kind.

A dirty cop with desires that are not only unlawful but sinful, Colton is a sheriff with a dark intent. His little Rose is ready to be taken into a cabin with no help nor mercy. The best thing about this story is the utter devotion to dirty pleasure, but also the final twist that changes the tone of the events. And that epilogue is the right kind of lustful touch that's so typical of the author.

The best plot twist though comes at the end of Taking What's Ours , a tale about two prisoners who'd rather fall on top of their luscious prey than escape their sentence. It's a string of dirty, sexy love fest that includes a pretty smart mystery surrounding the why of the events. This double man-encounter for the heroine is one you won't be able to forget.

I read TAKING WHAT'S HERS a while ago and here is what I thought then:

Stalking a man was never sexier.

I'm fond of alpha males in control, but I must confess I've always fantasized about a strong, handsome man helplessly tied to a bed and at the mercy of a female's wanton desires. Alexa Riley has read my mind, apparently. Here is the fantasy come true.

The names in this novella are quite original: Valentina and Archer. Can I presume a dirty Cupid working its magic somewhere in between?

This author's wicked imagination never ceases to amaze me. She takes the craziest, naughty fantasy ever and turns it into an intoxicating potion of sweet romance and sex on fire. I couldn't believe the lengths to which Valentina goes to get the man of her wet dreams, but you can't grudge a woman for her hormones when they take the reins. And Archer is not exactly suffering when that happens ;-) Tied down by a beauty that loses her mind from him and her control over him?

I was frustrated to see the story end so soon, but I had a crackling good time while this crazy couple was getting her happy ending. If you're in the mood for loony, sexy, dripping hot romance, this treat will beat chocolate any time.

Another great collection of short stories from Alexa Riley. The first novella is Taking What's Mine. Warning this book may contain triggers for some people or completely turn you on. Depends upon your sexual fantasies. A completely different story than what I expected well done Alexa Riley I was very surprised by the ending. Hot alpha sheriff has been stalking a innocent school teacher. He's determined to make her his any way he can and plans the perfect trap to get her. Expect very explicit dark scenes so if these scenarios bother you please don't read. But if your intrigued then this short story is for you.
The Second Novella is Taking What's Ours. Alexa Riley managed to do it again. I need to buy stock in panty liners or new panties because she writes the hottest dirtiest short stories. Warning there are many triggers in the book but it's a Alexa Riley story so all is not as it seems. Just hang it there till the thrilling conclusion. Expect to be presently surprised and turned on while reading this short hot sexy novella. 1-click this book and stock up on batteries before reading. Can't wait to see what crazy hotness Alexa writes next
The final novella is Taking What's Her's. Wow this book was a whole new level of crazy but man Alexa Riley managed to make it hot. Alexa Riley does a great job of making taboo subjects super hot. In this installment of the Forced Submission Series the reader meets crazy stalker Valentina who will stop at nothing to get Archer her sexy hot rich boss. She's has been stalking and planning this night carefully for awhile. As with the other books in the forced submission series not all is as it seems. Alexa Riley guarantees no cheating and a HEA even with the taboo subject of forced submission. I've loved every short story that Alexa Riley has written and she doesn't disappoint with this new story. This story needs to include a warning of crazy funny and panty melting scenes ahead.

Mine: I kept telling myself "It's not what you think, it's not what it seems. Alexa Riley doesn't show rape, it isn't what you fear." What a kinky couple. Sheriffs don't blow my skirt up and neither does fighting foreplay. (Unless you're really mad, that is, then it is HAWT.)

Ours: Meh. The sex was hot as long as I kept telling myself AGAIN AND AGAIN: "It's not what you think, it's not what it seems. Alexa Riley doesn't show rape, it isn't what you fear." I dig menage when it's done right, and this was done right. I just could've done with the setting and irrational fear of actual rape.

Hers: Holy hell, what a shit storm! But I loved it! We seriously need more romance from two fucked up folks like these. It's just like Alexa Riley says: “It's not everyday you find the crazy that fits yours, so when you do, tie it to the bed and take it. That's the only sane thing to do.”

Spoiler alert, nothing is real!

Want a peek into the dark side of the taboo? Throwing away your control to someone else can be freeing but what if it's taken? Don't recommend this for people who have a problem with detailed extreme role play scenes. Read the title and understand what will happen before you read. For everyone else with similar desires, enjoy.

3.5 stars

This anthology contains the first 3 stories from the Forced Submission series. They are all CNC erotic quickies (about 50-70 pages each). So they are all about consensual role play scenes and the aftercare following those CNC scenes.

These first three stories are probably my least favorite from the whole series. They aren't bad, but this is when I was getting used to the format of the series.

They are written so that the reader is already knee deep in the CNC fantasy from the start of the story. So it feels like noncon at first, until near the end of the story we get the twist and the characters come out of the scene.

It's an interesting way to write them to really put you in the fantasy. But it was disorienting for the first few stories. After that I was able to like them more for what they are.

Overall I enjoyed them though and would recommend the series to those who like reading CNC stories.

Enjoyed them a lot!

For Taking What's Mine, at first I didn't want understand the ending and I had to read it twice to make sure I didn't miss anything. Colton was ruthless with Rose, but then knowing it was her fantasy made me speechless, I wasn't expecting this at all but I really enjoyed it.

Hudson and Ridge were also ruthless with Charlotte in Taking What's Ours, and again, the little twist towards the end made the story so much better!

As for Taking What's Hers, both characters were obsessed with each other and they were both stalking the other. What I found a bit disappointing was that Valentina was somehow described as being insane with her obsession with Archer, whereas Archer was just obsessed with Valentina and everything he did was hot somehow.

Will definitely read the second bundle!

Terrible DNF

If I could give zero stars I would. I read the first story and didn't finish it because it kept getting worse and worse. The "hero" uses his position to stalk and film her in her home without her consent. This filth was physical and psychological abuse and it was neither sexy or romantic. I keep expecting better from contemporary romance and then I read this rubbish. Also just because you give a disclaimer that this has dubious consent and scenes that may trigger people doesn't let you off the hook of writing a good and believable fantasy plot line. This is a "No" from me.

I came across this series on Amazon and it was no longer available so I found it on Eden books. I wanted to read it to see what it was about since it was no longer on Amazon to purchase. I almost quit during the first book. It was hard to remember this was fictional. I’m glad I finished it because the first two stories are about a particular fantasy playing out. It’s not for everyone. But Alexa did a good job writing the stories. The last book was just about two crazily, over obsessed people who were perfect for each other. I liked the role reversal in it. If this type of fantasy is your kink, go for it. They are short, heavily intimate reads.

Alexa Riley on Submission

So Alexa Riley stories always have a bit of crazy woven into them but this series and the following series takes the cake. They have the funniest and sexiest minds to write these types of stories. My favorite was Archer and Valentina in Taking What's Hers, I loved that both characters were absolutely insane, most of their antics made me laugh because they were just so crazy.

I didn’t care for the first story, until the twist happened. Then it was a duhh moment, that changed everything. The other 2 books after that, knowing there would be a twist, but not what or how, made them very exciting to read. My favorite is the third book! Loved that crazy over the top, making me laugh, obsessive, possessive female!

Very hot!!!

This series was explosively hot and sexy! I enjoyed the characters, and found it refreshing that each book was a solid story and not just some sex crazed hormonal couples. I would recommend this series.

Alexa Riley does it again. This book is very well written and the characters are very well developed this is one book that I know I could read over again. I found it very hard to put down. I look forward to reading more books by Alexa Riley.

Not much to say here... this was vintage AR, at her finest. Plenty dark and gritty, but with the HEA we’ve come to expect. Quick, hot read.

Warning: Elements of dub- and non-con, if that’s a trigger for you.

These are all short stories where the characters portray their fantasies. All of them involve some type of kidnapping or rape type situations. All characters are willing participants in said fantasy however you don't find out until the end of each story that they are fantasies.

This book was very filthy and hot. There are 3 short stories and each one is better than the next. I liked how in the end each story both parties were apart of the forced submission, which is why it made it that much filthy and hot.

TAKING WHATS HERS IS MY FAV!!!
Ojalá el libro haya sido más largo, me encanta leer que la protagonista está tan obsesionada y tome lo que quiera
Me encanta que ambos tengan el mismo nivel de obsesión y no les importe nada más que ellos mismos

So these books made me very uncomfortable reading them but when you get to the very end you realize that they are not what they seem. So that makes it better but still not really my cup of tea.
