Allister Marshall is no stranger to saving the down on their luck staff at the club he runs. But the day he walks into a locked basement dungeon and his eyes rest on the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen, this white knight is nearly brought to his knees. He’s a man’s man, but he’s kept his v-card waiting for ‘the one’, and now that he’s found her nothing will ever come between them.
Leah Morgan grew up cloaked in riches. Only she and her sister were kept locked away until a turn of events thrusts Leah out into the world where she’s a lamb primed for lions to pounce. When Allister saves her from the clutches of those sworn to care for her, she finds herself swept away by this monster of a man who is obsessed with making sure the rest of her life is filled with happiness and a few million orgasms.
Can this brute of a virgin man manage to overcome sweet Leah’s distrust of nearly everyone? When Leah once again disappears, Allister comes to grips with just how far he will go to bring home what is his. Only, will the forces at work to tear Leah from her first glimpse of true happiness be more than Allister can overcome?
Authors Note: Have some virgin fun with Allister and Leah! They were crazy popular supporting characters in Where She Belongs by Dani Wyatt. The Forever Collection is all virgins, love-at-first-sight, indulgent fantasy. Each book a standalone. It’s fall hard, fall fast and get right to the sticky bits. If you want to lose yourself for a while with a happily ever after, no cheating and all wrapped up with an obsessed, alpha hero who will stop at nothing to make babies with his woman, then step inside, it’s steamy.
Since I was a little girl, I’ve made up stories. I would lay in my bed at night and before I knew what a trope was, I would make up these trope filled stories. Boy sees girl, boys falls for girl, boy saves girl….happily ever after. As I got older, the stories turned steamier and more intricate, but the basics never changed.
Now, my books are still full of romance but the naughty bits are naughtier, my hero’s are obsessed alpha types and my heroines are quirky, real women who come in all shapes and sizes.
So, sit back, banish the real world and get lost in some over the top romance with a heaping helping of hot. xoxoxo
3.5 stars. This is definitely an OTT insta-love tale. Allister rescues Leah and knows she was meant to be his. While I liked the characters and possessive goodness well enough, the story started out a little rough for me as someone who hadn't read book one. Yes, the setting and premise are described, but it almost felt like a continuation of a story instead of one on its own. After the initial impression, it starts to fall together nicely. I won't say that the strength is in its plot because I didn't find it all that exciting, but the extra sweet stuff is definitely a big win. Not to mention the quite enthusiastic performance of virgins lol All in all it was a short, entertaining treat that is not meant to be taken too seriously.
4 UNICORN STARS "You are my precious unicorn you know that? One of a kind and someone I thought didn’t exist. My magical, precious creature.”
“Please, stop thanking me. You deserve so much more than just someone to carry your bags, precious.”
This was an awesome second part to this series by Dani Wyatt. I enjoyed it almost as much as the first one. This is Leah story, May sister from Book one, and Allister, Decker best friend and business partner.
If you recall from the first book Allister saved Leah from the evil Victor and Simon. This book starts off from there. We have the wedding for Decker and May who are now of course expecting their first child as well. They have their HEA which was sweet!
These two characters are just as awesome!
Allister is obsessed with Leah and making her happy. He thinks: "I want all her smiles from now on. I want to teach her that her lips were intended to curve up, not down." "I want to take care of Leah’s body and soul, not just her material possessions. I want to make sure she eats right, sleeps well, smiles and laughs. That she’s tucked in at night and has sweet dreams. I want her..."
So I think it's safe to say he is completely consumed by her! And he would stop at nothing to make her his!
He was so sweet and funny. I laughed so hard when he was trying to convince her to come back to his house to keep her safe. He tells her "...Or there’s a spider in the bathroom and you need me to come with a flamethrower and kill the rat bastard. These are things I can do. A cell phone cannot. I’m better than a cell phone, you’ll have to trust me on that.”
But mostly this book was HOT and SWEET! Come on now, who can say differently after hearing this statement by the hero,
“That’s my girl. Let me in. I love you, my sweet unicorn. I love you more than you could know.”
And her thoughts about him
"The fact that he’s never been with a woman before makes me swoon. And to know that he wants me? Well, perfect book boyfriend. And he’s real."
This book was just so sweet it almost gave me a tooth ache!
However, I couldn't give it 5 stars because of conflict resolution! It wasn't all tied up neatly at the end! I'm kind of a vengeful botch when it comes to wrong doings from other characters. The fact that no one was arrested from the kidnapping or even sent to jail, JUST PISSED ME OFF!
Honestly, What's to stop them from doing it again!? She is still rich, right? Are you guys all nuts to leave it like this!? It is still considered a crime to kidnap another human being and try to extort money from them, isn't it? So, why leave this open!? Send the F*ckers to jail or are you waiting for something really bad to happen to your UNICORN!
THIS PART OF THE STORY JUST FAILED FOR ME! And Until that moment, I was all set to give it another 5 stars. Sadly, it was close but no cigar moment!
Still enjoyed it and I would recommend it but I'm not keeping this one. I REALLY HATE THE WAY IT ENDED!
Great news is that it's completely SAFE! Virgins both and no drama whatsoever.
***Thank you again my dear Carvanz for doing this buddy read with me. I'm really glad we read the first book before reading this one. Sometimes a good reread makes you appreciate the story so much more but other times it makes the second part pale in comparison. I think that in this case it was the latter. The first one was better for me personally.
Okay, so I don't really buy into the whole 30 something hero being a virgin. Leah, I could "sort of" understand given her history and being kept basically locked away for years but I just didn't believe it or feel it with Allister. However, that aside, Allister was a pretty good hero. He was sweet and caring and had that "mine" mentality I love. And who doesn't like a guy who comes in his pants while eating his girl out?
But once this hit the whole "suspense" part, it sort of went down hill for me. I mean seriously, Nah....doesn't work for me. And I'm sorry, May was just as immature as she was in the first book. I was glad to see Leah was a little better.
So, it was just "okay" in my book...oh well... ["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>
Sugary sweet, dual virgins and steamy sex scenes. Alistair and Leah's attraction is instant and unstoppable.
We first meet this couple in book 1 of this series. Alistair is Decker's best friend and Leah is May's sister. In that story, Alistair rescued Leah from the dungeon she was being held in and brought her to safety.
-sexy virgin hero -strong, scarred virgin heroine -no pushing away -no cheating or ow/om drama whatsoever -steamy sex scenes -cute epilogue 18 months out, my only complaint was it felt like it was cut short.
This is book 2 in this series and we get their story!!
I was bummed we didn't get them really interacting in the last book only mentioned he found her bound in the basement tied to her wheelchair.. i wish it was shown!! Cuz I'm a sucker for knights lol
But we start off with May and Decker getting married and enjoying their honeymoon and Allister abit glued to Leah when he's with her to drop her off back home.. and i have to day she was alittle bitchy at him for being a gentleman i get it she doesn't trust very easily. And she doesn't want sympathy since she has braces on her legs from the accident... she can sorta stand on her legs and walk with crutches.. but she ends up tired more.
But she apologizes for being rude and spends some time with him.. and loves every moment.. even with the annoying staff who always try to tell her what to do.. like seriously.. i didn't like those ppls..
I am a sucker that they are both virgins i dont care if he is 30 i can respect that.. just from what he said my hearttt!!!
“I wanted it to mean something when I lost my virginity. I’m not a ‘new girl every night’ kind of guy, I want one girl. One. And honestly, no one really held my interest until now. Until you. And then it all hit me at once.”
Now not all rainbows and cupcakes their is some drama and tiny bit "is he telling me the truth about his past" and its not about his sexual history (for real he a big virgin even if he knows how to work his tongue and fingers) its his past about drugs Leah hates Drugs.. with a passion...
No ow drama- slight om drama, no cheating, drama, secondary chara, sexy times, Virgins no manwhores
Recommend- yes Cover-⭐⭐⭐

This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Another super saccharine sweet love story between Allister and Leah. Starts out as insta love and ends with a sweet HEA and breeding. HEAVY breeding (muhahahaa) Then why 3ish stars? - I'm not huge into double v cards and virgin pornstar heroes - didn't like the lack of confidence in Leah - didn't enjoy her lack of trust in Allister That being said, still a beautifully written, heavily cum filled story. Yes it really it. And you're welcome for this gooey info. Safe 3.5/5
Merged review:
Rated and reviewed the other copy. Seriously why are there two of these on GR!
See if this is your thing. It definitely isn't mine...
Authors Note: The Forever Collection is all virgins, love-at-first-sight, indulgent fantasy. Each book a standalone. It’s fall hard, fall fast and get right to the sticky bits. If you want to lose yourself for a while with a happily ever after, no cheating and all wrapped up with an obsessed, alpha hero who will stop at nothing to make babies with his woman, then step inside, it’s steamy.
It just didn't pull me in. I felt disconnected with the characters, and for the most part, the plot seemed dragging, at least for me. Also, even though this is a standalone, I think there will be a gap if readers don't go through the first book. I guess both stories should be read in order. 🤷♀️
Anyway, this didn't work for me. But other readers might feel differently.
This is the second book in the Forever Collection by Dani Wyatt. This book is about May's (from Where She Belongs) older sister, Leah and Decker's best friend/business partner, Allister. When Leah was tied to a chair being held captive in her own basement the first person she saw when she was rescued was Allister Marshall. She's always protected her younger sister, May ever since their parents died but now May is married to Decker so she doesn't need her anymore. Allister has felt extremely protective of Leah ever since he found her helpless tied to a chair. He has waited all these years to give himself to a woman and he knows Leah will be his forever. Now he just has to convince her stubborn ass that they're meant for each other.
After reading Where She Belongs, When She's Mine was the next book .. This is the story or Leah (May's sister who we see in book 1) and Allistair (Deck's best friend, who we see in the first book as well) ... the little glimpses of Allistair in the first book were enough to drive my curiosity to pick this up and needless to say, I did :D The glimpses of Deck and May were good to :) Like the first book, this one was a quick, short, sweet and steamy read ... with a bit of drama that starts in the first book and ends in this one.
This is my first time reading a book by Dani and I absolutely loved it! The story of Allister and Leah is an insta-lust whirlwind love story that keeps you on your toes. Allister has all those amazing alpha male vibes that us woman love, and Leah is a strong woman who inspires us all. This book will give you all the feels so enjoy. I look forward to reading more by Dani soon.
The minute Allister saw Leah, bound and gagged in the dungeon of her own castle , he knew his waiting for The One has come to an end. All her life, Leah had been guarded and manipulated. She's broken and has scars from the past, so the only one she truly trusted was her sister, May , who helped saved her from people who were interested of her money. But when Allister came to her rescue, she couldn't believe someone as hot as him would literally sweep her off her feet and overwhelm her with a love that would last them a lifetime.
WHEN SHE'S MINE is the second standalone book in The Forever Collection series. This is Allister and Leah's story , whom we first learned about in Where She Belongs. I loved the sweet parts of this story and Allister was an absolute gentleman with a sexy streak of alpha. A wonderful read !
I have received and read an advanced copy of this book and this is a fair and honest review, voluntarily shared.
This book was so good! I loved Allister and loved how patient and caring he was with Leah.
This book is basically about Leah and how she is adjusting after what happened to her and her sister. And also about her trusting people and believing that she is worthy of being loved and being taken care of.
Allister was just the man to make her believe in herself and just the person to love her and take care of.
When Allister rescued Leah from that dungeon, I just knew there was a love story there! This is an over the top, both virgins, instalove that melted my kindle. Dani Wyatt knows just how to deliver Forever!
s h e l v e s : alpha disability (her legs) hero cries instalove men in suits ott possessive protective smitten boi take care of u virgins wife her up
k i n k s : breeding cervix / womb talk cums in his pants dirty talk dry humping no condom tss 💦
e n d e a r m e n t s : ♥︎ precious ♥︎ precious unicorn (i know, literal barf)
e n d i n g : HEA + babies on the way!
p l o t :
Ohhhhhkayyyyy. I gotta say. When it got hot it was HOT ok? That dry humping scene? DamMMnnnnN. 💦
But the story in general? The connection between Allister and Leah outside of sexy times? I just wasn’t feeling it. Add to that Wilson being an annoying little shit for the entire book and then suddenly redeemed at the end? This story was not my favorite. It kind of felt like when they make a sequel of a movie just bc they can and cuz the first one did so well, but the sequel just proves they should have left well enough alone. This had potential don’t get me wrong, but it just fell flat overall for me. Chemistry was lacking. Conflict felt forced. And for the love of god the word unicorn being thrown around during sex? As a pet name? Or just period, in general. 🤮🤮 No thanks. 3 stars.
h o t c l i p s:
Her mouth is hot and slippery as I flex and begin to take control.
The head of my cock, slick and squelchy, pops in and out of her lips as I fuck into her face.
♥︎
“Tell me again how much you loved the taste of my cum.”
He pushes my hand from my face, pinching my chin and squaring his eyes with mine. “Tell me. You loved it in your mouth, didn’t you? Slick and hot.”
The whole Victor, Wilson thing was so unnecessary. It added, what 20 pages to the story?
It detracted so much from the story that it ruined it and made me frustrated to the point that it colored everything, blahhh!
Allowing criminals to go free with a plea deal is not ulturistic, it's dangerous, stupid and unrealistic. But this is a story of grown men (older men) who are virgins so I guess realism gets thrown out the window.
I don't want to spoil it by writing more, but it was eehhh. I suppose people would read it for the spice but even that repetitive.
Allister Marshall tried to be patient in his desire for Leah Morgan but Leah has no clue that he is attracted to her. Leah has had a rough life with a car crash that left her injured and doesn't see how anyone would want her. Allister makes his move but has a secret of his own that he only wants to share with Leah, will she trust him enough to give a life together a chance.
This was good but I felt it was rushed in spots and there were some details left out a bit. Interesting idea, I liked Leah but she had such a chip on her shoulder initially it took awhile to warm to her.
Allister and Leah's story starts with a bang and the roller coaster doesn't seem to have an end in sight! These poor girls have had a rough life and no one deserves peace and love more than them. It's a good thing the men in their lives know this and do everything in their power to make that happen. This series is a must read so get to It! Mature eyes only due hot 🔥 loving!!!
Alpha, Alpha, Alpha, even when that man isn’t all that experienced, Allister delivers. He knows he can protect Leah and give her everything she has secretly desired.
Leah, she has lived in fear for a long time and sometimes that fear doesn’t go away once the situation does.
While the cover says when she’s mine, this storyline is where she belongs and is not the second book. Tried removing and re-downloading and it didn’t load.
Why do I keep doing this to myself? Why, why, why?
TSTL h. H was blowing so many loads all over the place I'm surprised he didn't die from dehydration. We're also once again reminded that May (Leah's sister from Where She Belongs) is TSTL with her being too tired of police investigations and you know-- justice-- so just go ahead and let criminals go.
A little suspense, a whole lotta sweet lovin and a low angst high hotness factor make Dani Wyatt’s newest release a go-to feel good read.
“I’ve got you, Leah. I’ll never let you fall.”
Sweet, shy, protective old sister Leah Morgan (h) has always been the protector, the nurturer. Scarred by a horrific car accident she’s also the one in leg braces, the damaged sister. Dreaming of a husband and children, Leah’s made peace with her place in life – left behind while her sister marries and moves on. Until a sexy brute’s hot stare leaves her yearning for more.
“No one will want me like this let alone a man like him. How could they?”
Sexy, bold, brute Allister Marshall (H) has loved Leah since he pulled her out of a madman’s clutches. He just isn’t sure how to approach her – to tell her he wants more with her – he just knows he has to be with her however he can. He’ll take it slow, at her pace, until he’s locked down her love. Then all bets are off.
“He’s other things besides just older.”
These two virgins (yep, count ‘em two, V-card²) light up the pages with their hot chemistry and sweet loving. Filled with dirty talking, smutty and sugary sweet goodness this quick read left me panting and smiling in loved up bliss. Watching Leah and Allister get their happily ever after melted my heart. I was patiently waiting for their story and Ms. Wyatt did not disappoint. In her trademark style, there was never any question that the man would get the girl, he’d dirty schmex her up a little (ok, a lot) and they’d live happily ever after.
“From the brooding, caring protector to the filthy-talking sex god.”

Alors que le premier tome de la série ne m’avait pas tant convaincue que cela avec certains défauts qui auraient pu être évités, j’attendais la suite avec impatience puisqu’elle est sur le couple qui m’intrigue depuis le début : Allister et Leah. Deux personnages importants jusqu’à présent mais qui avaient gardé leur part de mystère. Mais que cela ne tienne, When She’s Mine est là et on a enfin les réponses à toutes nos questions !
Allister, tout comme son meilleur ami, est clairement différent des autres hommes puisqu’il a décidé de rester vierge jusqu’au jour il trouvera l’élue. C’est digne d’un comble puisqu’il est le patron de boîtes de striptease, mais soit ! Du coup, lorsqu’il pose ses yeux sur Leah, il sait que l’attente est finie, qu’il est temps de rattraper le temps perdu et de profiter de ses dons naturels pour le sexe. Sans blaguer, (bien que tout ce que je vienne de dire est vrai) Allister est un homme complexe qui m’intrigue depuis le début. Il est très intense et loyal au point de se sacrifier pour ceux qu’il aime, pile poil ce qu’il faut pour la belle et douce Leah.
Leah est la soeur de May qui était présente dans l’accident de voiture qui a coûté la vie de leurs parents des années plus tôt. Résultat, ses jambes ont été brisées et elle ne peut pas marcher sans le matériel adéquate, quand elle n’est pas obligée d’être en siège roulant. Elle a énormément de complexe de ce point de vue et son attachement à sa petite sœur rend difficile toute relation avec un homme, mais cela est loin d’arrêter son sauveur, le très sexy Allister. Peu à peu elle va s’ouvrir à l’homme, se dévoiler être légère et une véritable chatte en chaleur lorsqu’il s’agit de son homme. Mais elle doit pouvoir surmonter son manque de confiance envers presque tout le monde, afin d’être enfin heureuse et épanouie.
Leur romance est donc assez étrange et compliquée à la fois. Ils cachent aux personnes qui leur sont le plus chers, le fait qu’ils sont ensemble. Allister n’a pas tout dit à Leah, ce qui la pousse à douter de lui alors qu’elle cherche à avoir confiance en lui. Et quand au niveau sexuel, c’est la découverte des deux côtés, une découverte qui a des conséquences assez intéressantes il faut l’avouer. Malgré tout, on sent bien qu’Allister est sérieux et que Leah fait de son mieux afin de vivre sa vie au grand jour. Et c’est là bien entendu que l’auteure nous sort des trucs un peu tordus dans l’intrigue (qu’on voit venir pour certains d’entre eux) et qui pimentent cette histoire d’amour qui serait toute simple sans cela.
Pour ce qui est de la rapidité et du caractère des personnages, c’est du Dani Wyatt à 100%, on reconnait sa patte. Pourtant j’ai apprécié le fait qu’elle ait pris en compte les remarques qui lui avaient été faite pour le premier tome de la série et du coup on se retrouve avec quelque chose d’une meilleure qualité et surtout plus logique. Du coup, j’ai apprécié cette lecture, mais je me demande bien ce qu’elle va nous pondre pour la suite… Je ne vois absolument pas sur qui elle va lancer son dévolu pour la suite, si suite il y a !
