Book One of the Size Matters series.

I got a footlong. And it tastes so good.

You wanna tame Aidan Stone, you're labouring in vain, darlin'.

There's no way any woman alive can get over my Greek God body, with my 8-pack abs, and bedroom eyes.

Abby Cleveland thinks she can change me.

Make me less of a playboy.
More responsible.
Take my hard-partying, womanizing ways --
and make me into a pillar of respectability.

Well, good luck to her.

Because it's ME -- that's going to change HER.

I'm going to open up a whole new world for her.
Make her see things she never dreamt possible.
Change the way she sees the world.

I'm going to do it by using my body.

I'll let you guess what part ...


**Come join Alexis Angel in this full-length standalone romance.
No cliffhanger but it's going to be a scorcher with scenes of MF, MFMM, and very mild FMF. HEA? You know it, babe.**

** ** ** ** ** **
The Size Matters series takes you on a fun-filled journey through the mind of Alexis Angel and the fictional Naughty Angel Publishing company.

About the author

Alexis Angel

80 books734 followers
Alexis Angel writes steamy contemporary romance about bad boys for the bad girl in all of us. She is still single at 30, in case anyone is interested to know, and still very much looking for love.

Her favorite things in the world are flowers, chocolate, lingerie, high heels, lipstick, perfume, and the credit card award miles that she gets from buying all that.

Prior to writing, Alexis used to be a financial analyst in New York City. She quickly decided that working for a faceless corporation run by men was not her dream job. So she began to write. And as she began to write, she began to use those credit card award miles to travel all over the world.

Alexis is still single, in case you forgot from above. She spends winters in California, fall and spring in New York City, and summers in Europe. You can join her mailing list at http://eepurl.com/csXC2P or email her at author.alexisangel@gmail.com

An okay book, it didn’t keep my attention. I don’t mind explicit sex in my books, but I don’t really read books for sex. My books have to have a really good story first and foremost, that’s what I want in my books, along with great characters. I received this book free, so I gave it a shot. Fell asleep reading it and had no interest in going back to find were I remembered from. So this wasn’t the book for me.

The characters talked at you and took turns, which was different. Plus I like when both parties are pleasing each other, not one the “female” trying to always please the male. Too way street, everyone likes to be pleased.

Alexis Angel delivers another one of her over the top sex romps with a HEA ending. Abby is a romance writer who is experiencing a less than favorable reaction to her latest book series. Aidan is a romance cover model who finds himself without any work after his latest antics were caught on live tv. Both of the struggling talents find themselves being put together for a joint writing project by their respective PAs. What happens next is a whole of sparks & hot steamy sex in between writing sessions. Though not everybody is happy about the new couples success & aims to make trouble for the pair. But Aidan has come to love Abby & will do everything in his power to protect her.

This book is meant for mature readers.

Ok no surprise with a title like that this is a hot one. Abby is a writer who needs a fresh new book and Ethan is a cover model looking for another shot. So they cowrite a book together, a romance- and get lots of real life inspiration. One of the things I love was references from other books. This was a steamy, sexy book with a HEA. I read it in about 3 hours. I received an arc of this.

This was a very entertaining book to me. I was smiling a lot during it because there was humor in It. The characters were good together, getting together to do a book together, amongst other things too. I think the author put a lot of herself in it also, made me feel like it was personal. I totes enjoyed it. I received this book for an honest review. Great book.

“Yeah, that stuff is fine, but it’s just a fantasy. Escapism. I guess that’s why I became a writer; sometimes I need to escape to a place of my own, one where men aren’t assholes and don’t cheat on the women they pretend to love.” -- Abby


This quote right here, is problem the single most truthful quote about why we read romance novels.

That being said I had fun reading the book and the extremely hot sex scenes but overall it fell short for me. I couldn't connect to the characters and the plot focused mostly on the sex, while not a bad thing in itself (those scenes were smoking hot), I kinda wanted more story development mixed in. And while I read to escape and fantasize I also want to see people overcome difficulties in a slightly realistic manner; at least in a contemporary setting.

This was a stupid book.

I couldn't even make it past chapter 1. It was about an arrogant man proud of his manhood. Not realistic

This is a fun book to read by Alexis Angel,,,,

Aidan Stone is a male model for all kindza book covers, along with his agent, CJ, who gets him all the work he needs,, he has the body that all the women swoon for and he has the equipment to please his women and apparently knows how to work with it,,, and he's not real picky on who he uses it on,,,,, as long as he has it by his rules, he's a happy camper,,, friends, no problem, sisters, no problem,,,he doesn't particularly care who he comes between,,,, he wants nothing more to do with them,,,,, his life, his rules, he's carefree and happy,,,,,,and now that his modeling is in question, because of all the women who are mostly authors, he has to find a new plan of action his agent tells him,,,,, 

Abby Cleveland is a 23 year old author who was having an ok start,,, she lives in NYC and went to NYU a year ago, graduated with a degree in English and a boyfriend, Grady O'Sullivan,,,, kept the boyfriend, didn't use the degree ,,, the boyfriend went to work for Bad Boy Publishing, got Abby a contract and she was doing ok, til Grady started yanking her books and double crossing her,,,, she broke up with him and now she and her agent, Cheryl Maddox have to get her name back on the list in Rainforest's top 10, and Cheryl knows just how to do it,,,,,, 

So CJ and Cheryl put Abby and Aidan together to write a book,,,, co-authoring isn't something either know too much about and Abby doesn't know what Aidan can educate her about,,, so, now what do you think is going to happen,,,, ???,,,, do you think Abby would take the bait if Aidan throws it out to her,,, ???,,,, what's going to happen if she runs into Grady again,,,???,,,, will Aidan stay around her long enough to co-author a book,,,, ???,,,, all these answers and more hot steamy action is yours,,,,,, all you need to do,,,, is one-click this book,,,, it's a fun read and it's a great author,,,, I would totally recommend this book to anyone,,,,,

Hit With A Meat 🔨Hammer

Loved this book! It's silly, funny, light hearted, and sexy dirty. It's ridiculous at times and over the top, but worth The read. The book is told from both POVs.
Aidan, the🔥 hot Alpha Stud🐺🍌🌋 in this book, is a romance book cover model always looking for more work and more women. His big Johnson🍌 is a full, thick 12 inches and he knows how to use it! He's got an eight pack too, and is incredibly handsome as well.
Aidan was publicly caught back stage at an awards dinner doing the 🔥Hot n naaasssty🍌🍌🌋 with the sister of his last girlfriend, another romance writer📝 and the Host of the romance writers awards ceremony. It pretty much poisoned💀 his career.
Abby💋👗, is a young, single, successful author📝 of erotic romances who has hit a writers block📝 period. It doesn't help when she walks in on her book📕 publisher boyfriend drilling another romance writer📝 in his office. Parts is Parts! Lots of laughs and innuendos abound in the book about the scene of his crime!
Abby's PA sets up a meeting between Aidan🐺🔥🍌🌋 and Abby💋📝, because Aidan wants to co-write📝 a book with her to get his flagging career back on track, and to get her over her writers📝 block.
Of course fireworks🍌🌋🔥 erupt when the two get together!
YEHAW! Ride em Bareback🍌, Cowgirl!🐎🐎🐎🐎

There are several other included stories here, another full length book is New York Daily Journal. This is about a cougar wife married to a driven politician who completely ignores her. Luckily he has a super hot stepson, 15 years her junior, but ripped and ripe with another 12 inches of swinging meat🍌🌋!
Impossible but true!

Aidan certainly knew how to get attention for himself. Ba@ging the sister of the award winner whilst she was making a speech was probably not his wisest move. Especially when they didn't keep the noise down and they heard her demand the curtain be opened! Yikes! Needless to say, he needed to clean up his image and fast. To do that his agent buddied up with the agent of Abby, a romance novelist who had just dumped her jerk of a publisher and cheating boyfriend, whose books weren't doing as well as they'd hoped. But she knew of his reputation and didn't want to get involved with his 12 inch intimately as it could ruin her reputation too. But the chemistry between them is undeniable and they embark on an affair that certainly helps her writing s he inspires her. His days as a model for books may be over or are they? What happens when her ex blackmails Aidan? Will Abby's writing improve? Are the feelings between these two very passionate people real and could they be for the long term or has he betrayed her? This book may make you blush as it is HOT. And when I say HOT, I mean REALLY HOT. This is a fun, very steamy, page turning steam,y read that will have you turning on your fans/ac to MAX COOL and looking for Alexis Angel's next story!

I went into this one with cautious optimism. The first few chapters? Fun enough — ridiculous in that “so bad it’s entertaining” kind of way. Unfortunately, that joy didn’t last long.
Alexis Angel clearly knows how to write steamy scenes, but when it comes to everything else… let’s just say the spark fades. The non-smut moments feel disjointed, like characters are reading lines from different scripts. I actually caught myself hoping for a sex scene — not for the spice, but because it meant the dialogue would temporarily make sense.
Aidan and Abby didn’t work for me as a couple. They felt hollow, constantly contradicting themselves, and somehow fell in love despite never having a meaningful conversation. Abby’s character especially suffered from inconsistency — she shifts from being a “bad girl” to someone needing “guidance” in the span of a few pages. And the timeline? I tried to follow it, I really did, but it gave up before I did.
And then, just when I thought we were heading for a dramatic conclusion — surprise pregnancy. My personal nemesis. It added nothing, explained nothing, and ended everything.

Alexis can write spice, sure, but storytelling requires more than that. If she slowed down and actually developed her characters, this might’ve been more than a guilty pleasure gone wrong.

Aiden is at this award gala for the romance reader. Meanwhile he has this women behind the curtain grinding on his 12 inches . Her name was Susan but he didn’t get her last name. In the meantime.
Alyssa Moore was being honored at this Gala. On stage she makes a statement about
how he life had changed especially because of Aiden Stone. He hears his name meanwhile Susan is making a racket behind the curtain. Alyssa walks over to see what was going on when she sees Aiden in a compromising position with her sister. Meanwhile because of the disaster at the award Aiden was getting a lot less work. He asked his agent and she told him people don’t want to work with him anymore because of the awards. Abby’s sales are down and her agent suggest that she meet with someone who might be able help her. Aiden and Abby get together for some collaboration they didn’t mind. Things start to really heat up and Abby is learning more about herself. Aiden takes Abby to Python a no hold bars type of place. Abby and Aiden are going strong but all of a sudden Aiden starts to pull away. Aiden has been offered a job he could not refuse. Twists, turns, and revenge.

This book was dirtier than I am used to. I liked that it was a little different with the mc being the narrator and talking to the reader. I also liked how the H/h got along. They were magic together.

One thing that really freaked me out was the fact that Aidan seemed to enjoy consuming his own fluids. I couldn't think of a safer way to put that. I like a little kink, but that was too much for me. Oh and when he asked her to drink his juices out of an overflowing glass, I didn't know how to feel. I was also disturbed by part of the scene when the couple went to club Python.

I was cool until the other men joined in and did not use condoms. The addition of the men didn't bother me, but there would be no way in hades that I would allow two strange men with hoods covering their faces to hit it raw and then come all over me. Then they licked it off also. Gross!

I did m, however enjoy the sex scenes between Aidan and Abby. They were smoking together. I was very happy to see the real Aidan instead of the arrogant man child he was in the beginning.

Straight Porn for men

I love naughty books because seem more like a book for a man. All of the sexy scenes seem to be about Abby pleasing Aidan with Aidan doing very little to please Addy. It was very over the top. Soooo Abby never had sex with a guy as well endowed as Aidan but she was about to take him the first time with. NO PROBLEM? I know this is fantasy but can it be a little believable.
Now the typos. The biggest one that I had a problem with is on chapter 24. It is Aidan speaking but the title of the chapter implies that it should be Abby. I am glad I am reading this for free through Kindle Unlimited. I would want my money back if I had paid for it.

There is no false advertising with this book... The title is 12 inches so you know what you're going to get and the book delivers. I liked the idea of the story, the theme of trying to get Abby to open up to sex and men again and I really liked the supporting characters in Cheryl and CJ. The book is written well and an interesting story that kept my attention, it relies heavily on profanity and sex but I expected that when I saw the title and the description. A decent read with ALOT of steamy sex. All in all a good read. :)

A wonderful silly, lighthearted, sexy and steamy romance story told from both POV'S. A trully entertaining hot dirty romance when Abby and Aiden are put together by respective PAs on a joint writing project. In co writing a great steamy romance the sparks are flying and get extra hot between the writing creating a success. Which brings on a whole new set of problems, that Aiden will do whatever needed to protect Abby. Awesome story.

Holy hotness, your kindle will burn and go up in flames. I think I just found my new naughty writer. it's the first I've read from her and will not be the last.

This one is filled to the brim with all the naughty things a good girl can only dream of but afraid to ask for. Aidan Stone, oh what a man he is and not doesn't have a care in the world about what others think of him, well not until he met Abby Cleveland. With her, she is the game changer of his life.

What a freaking story. I loved this book. I couldn't put it down once I started. I love how Alexis writes sex. It is hot and never ever boring. I loved this entire story. Abby is sweet and totally getting screwed over by her boyfriend, Grady. Asian is smoking hot and knows it. The beginning cracked me up. Who does that lol. No spoilers. I loved how the two of them were together. Aidsn brings out the dirty girl in Abby. This ending was perfect. Such a smoking hot story.

This is a "don't take serious" modern story of the romance writers world starring Abby the author and Aiden the cover model who is the 12 inch hunk and would be writer himself. Their getting together is the key to this storyline and how they flourish eroticly and creatively drives them to overtakes a nemesis and expand their partnership (aka baby).
A fun book that I'm recommending for your reading pleasure and enjoyment. I am volunteering to leave a review of this ARC book.

I've read a few of this author's books over the last few years. She is unapologetic in her writing of books that are over the top but immensely entertaining. I totally enjoyed reading this book with it hot sexy scenes and crazy plotline with a few shock worthy scenes. Some things turned me off as I could not imagine it happening in real life but then again...hmmm. Nope, still a turn off for me, but maybe not for someone else.

4.5-Stars for this fun, entertaining, & of course, smoking hot read! What else would you expect from Alexis Angel, but, a hot & sexy alpha male paired with a strong female lead, add in lots of smoking hot encounters with 12 Inches and you have one Kindle melting read!
If you love those fan yourself encounters with a sexy, bad boy alpha written in true Angel style then definitely recommend 12 Inches by Alexis Angel!

I love Alexis Angel books and this was no exception!! They are always so hot, steamy, and sexy. Again this was no exception!!!! The bad boy model everyone is afraid to use and the writer whose books no one wants to buy. But bring them together to collaborate on a book and the previously mentioned heat, steam,and sex shoot through the roof!!!!! Will need wine, vibe, and dry panties for this one!!!!!

Fabulous 5+*

Wow, this book was definitely not a disappointment. The sex alone is worth reading over and over again. If you don't have your own orgasm from this storyline, shame on you. The story itself is fun and interesting to read. I love the main characters especially the way they handle business with the girlfriend cheater. Recommend, definitely.

HOLY MOLY this book was um just so freaking dirty. But still a great erotica read. With a great female lead and one sexy bad boy. It was everything that i was looking for in. It doesn't really care about what is real or if things could happen but just gives you a great bad boy and a strong female lead who can and will bring that bad boy to his knees lol in more than one way.
