Title: His Virgin Bride
Author: Riley Rollins

Another absolutely Amazing book from Riley!


➦Leah Price is 25 years ago & still Virgin, but she also was an up & coming author, with dream of writing a novel. To make that dream a reality, she quit her job to write full time- her addiction to publishing her romance novel. She was lucky after so bad “No” to get sweet deal of 5 book series
Leah was going to meet her editor when a man accosted her on the street as she was going to the subway to go downtown. No one stop to help her but when all of a sudden she heard a man yelling at the man who had her arm in vice grip. Here walks in Luke Steele in all his 6’5 glory to save the day

➦ Luke Steele is 39 year ago billionaire CEO of a Diamond House Publishing, who feels lonely at the top.. Yeah Luke got wealth, power women falling at his feet, but none of that matters –especially after Luke meets a beautiful stranger on the street of Manhattan
There are many, many surprises twist in this story & as far as I am concerned it is a must read, it had it all & you won't believe the amazing outcome

➦Hope you enjoy this read & also always keep in mind this is just my opinion

His Virgin Bride takes you on a roller coaster ride, I love this part "No man has ever had me before. And I never planned on giving my virginity to Luke Steele, but I know he's going to take it." Oh my all the feels between Luke and Leah a page turner for sure.

Happy Reading

I received this book as an ARC for an honest review and Riley Rollins has become one of my favorite writers. This is such a cute, fasting book and the title explains it all. Billionaire Luke Steele falls for an honest, much younger, real girl by the name of Leah Price, who inspires to be a writer and Luke's fake/real Virgin Bride. The storyline is so sweet and made me believe in the two characters from different worlds were made from one another. I love reading how Luke and Leah romance developed and I recommend this book for anymore who enjoys a good love story with a side of erotica.

Review Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars.

This merge was beneficial!

I received an Advance Reader Copy for His Virgin Bride written by Riley Rollins and voluntarily reviewed this book. Leah Price just got her first big break - she has a deal with one of the largest known publishing companies for a series of five books total, so she quit her waitressing job to pursue her dream as a romance writer.

Luke Steele is the billionaire CEO of said publishing house, Diamond house, unbeknownst to her. Happenstance brings him to the exact location where Leah was being harassed by some random drunk guy on the street, and Luke chases him away. He was so stunned by meeting her, that he uncharacteristically leaves without obtaining any contact information. Soon thereafter, though, he spies her on the streets once again and wines and dines her in an exclusive restaurant. Because of their level of attraction to each other, he proposes a mutually beneficial arrangement for his impending business merger and the care of her ailing father.

The premise of the story was good, and the main characters had good chemistry together, but perhaps the development of their relationship could have been fleshed out a little more, the business merger final details also felt a bit too cut and dried, and the way the book ended felt just a tad unfinished/rushed for me. Overall, however, this was a good read!

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Luke Steel and Leah Price. In this book we find that Leah has just landed a publisher for not just 1 book but a 5 book series. So when she is out to meet her editor for the first round of reviews she is in good spirits. However that quickly changes when a man tries to accost her on the street. Luckily she gets her own knight in shinning armor in the form of Luke. He gives her his first name but she fails to give him hers. So there is a part of her that hopes to see him again. The other part knows she has to much on her plate now to add someone new to it. Can she have it all though or will this just be one more disappointment with a man?

Luke has women falling all over him. What he really wants is a woman to want him for him not for his money or what he can do for them. So when he helps Leah there is just something in him that tells him she is different. The problem is he doesn't know her name and doesn't know her number so he has no way to get back in contact with her. Luck however is on his side because later that afternoon as he is headed home he sees her. This time he is determined to not let her go. Can he impress a woman who doesn't want him for all the things he can give her? Or will he be destined to loss the most precious thing in his life even if he doesn't know it yet?

This is a great story about two people who come together for different reasons and find through being together they fill a part of the other that they didn't know was missing. There are some twists and turns in this story that I want to tell you all about but don't want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Voluntary read for an ARC copy

What’s not to love when you read about an insta-attraction/ love with a hot CEO billionaire and a curvy woman like Leah. She’s 25 and still a virgin, well that’s not a problem. Who can fault her for not wanting to give up something like that to just any guy? Glad she waited for the right guy and it never hurts to say that the right guy for her happens to be the Luke Steele.

It’s cute how he came to her rescue and fell head over heels for her. He has every right to be cautious when he meets women but not when it comes to Leah. This gal has a good head on her shoulders and knows her worth. She pays her own way and not a push over. Always enjoy reading about curvy woman that has their head in the game and just because you happen to fall for a guy with money doesn’t mean that you don’t; cover your own stuff.

Luke has his hands full with the company merger and starts to feel the stress of it all and being alone doesn’t help his mood either. He needs someone like Leah to ground him and show him that not every woman out there is with him because of his money.

Cute quick read, the only down fall for me was that the ending was a bit rushed for me.

Luke Steele & Leah Price

Leah just quit her job as a waitress to finally follow her dream of becoming an author. She's well on her way to everything she desires apart from the one person to finally give her V-card too.
Luke is the CEO of Diamond House Publishing and he's hoping to still be the CEO when his company merges with another big time publishing house! But he's missing something from being at the top. He's lonely but will not admit that to anyone.
He rescues Leah from some creepy dude on the street and from that moment on, they can't stop thinking about each other. The both of them have never felt this way about anyone.
Even though this is a novella, I didn't feel like I was missing anything at all from their relationship. I wanted more. Just because I'm greedy! I loved Luke's interactions with Leah. They real and honest and with some dirty sentences thrown in.  I like that their relationship didn't revolve around sex.  I liked the fiasco that was the gala. It made me chuckle too. 
It was unexpected to say the least at what happened to Luke but I love this ending a whole lot better. It wasn't predictable. I didn't see it coming at all.  Loved it!

I voluntarily reviewed this book in exchange for an advanced copy!

[Lorraine Brattin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved His Virgin Bride by Riley Rollins. It was about a young woman named Leah and how she met this remarkable man named Luke. It happened as Leah was running errands and was verbally abused by a man out on the street. This other gentleman saw and heard what was being said and came to Leah's rescue.

It turned out to be the CEO of the book label that Leah writes for yet she did not know him though and hadn't found out his name. Luke was mesmerized at this first meeting and was upset later that he would probably never see her again. Surprisingly Luke did see her again on the street a short time later so he had his driver pull over to give her a ride.


Luke is just enamored with Leah and he asks her out. When Leah learns that his is the billionaire CEO of her publishing company she gets nervous about dating him because he has made it clear that he wants her. She is a virgin with little experience in anything.

I loved reading all about Leah and her friend and her father. Then more about Luke and his job and what he had to do to try to keep his job. This story was so hard to put down. Looking forward to reading more by Riley Rollins in the near future. Best wishes.

His Virgin Bride is a fantastic 4.5 star book by Riley Rollins and in my honest opinion I think it's her best book to date.
I really enjoyed reading this book and read it in one sitting.
This book is well written and hooks you in from the start and it takes you on a fantastic ride.
This book also gives you all the feels as Luke Steele is one swoon worthy book boyfriend.
Leah Price has just landed her dream job and at 25 years old things are really starting to be looking up for her in her professional life.
Then a mysterious tall dark and handsome man saves her on the streets of Manhatten and her life suddenly changes in ways she couldn't have possibly imagined.
Their lives will never be the same again and it's going to be one interesting ride.
Go one click this book straight away and get caught up in the raw passion of Leah and Luke.

A great quick read about a billionaire, Luke, and the one woman who catches his eye, Leah. When he saves her from an aggressive man he in the streets he can't help but think of her all day, when he spots her while driving home he doesn't waste the opportunity and stops. Their romance and dating starts but when he needs her to be more than a girlfriend to keep his CEO position they strike up a deal. She isn't interested in his wealth & can't be bought....he is very interested in her & loves the fact that she isn't money hungry & trusts only her. But when his rival smears him & Leah at a dinner it may be too late for both of them.
A great quick insta love read that will keep you engaged and the ending a bit of a surprise but a GREAT surprise & perfect that will make you smile from ear to ear.

[Kathleen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great romance story between Luke - the billionaire who has everything but is still lonely and Leah the waitress who longs to be a writer.
When Leah gets a publishing deal she is thrilled and on her way to meet her editor when she is accosted by a man. Luke comes to her aid. While Luke tells her his name she does not tell him hers.
Luke can't get the woman he helped out of his mind. When he sees her again he vows to not loose her this time.
Leah does not care about Luke's wealth or status. Luke wants Leah. When he proposes a fake scenario to help him get his CEO position and possible Leah, she agrees.
This story follows the building of a relationship that starts as a fake but grows into something more. When someone "outs" them can they still make it?
Surprises are in this story, especially the ending.
I read this ARC for a voluntary review.

Note: I received an advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

Let me start by letting you know I never include in any reviews I do anything I feel could spoil your reading of the book. With that being said: I liked it.

While not a hugely long novel, the story does get you in quickly. I liked both the characters and found their connection to be real and not so far fetched that you would've found yourself sitting and questioning the book. Nothing is worse than reading a book so far from plausible you hate it. This book, while obviously not real, you still think it could happen...well maybe. haha

As I read, I kept going from start to finish, and from the beginning I liked it. You'll find that it's a great read you'll like and won't regret buying. You'll like it whether you like romance or if you've read Riley Rollins before - I don't think you would be dissapointed.

[Madeline Maureen · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was building okay until the end. It was out of nowhere. All was forgiven within a sentence. The guy up and disappeared on her for a few weeks if not longer. No convo needed for this girl. The guy left town with everyone thinking that the h was a whore for hire. Good job bro. And then we get like two chapters of sex. There was no gradual build up of their intimacy over the course of time. Just an attraction with some morning fondling that abruptly ends, and then he just walks out the room not to return...for WEEKS. So after all these weeks of no communication nothing the h is all "take my virginity". I don't know bout you but if I was holding on to my virginity the way the h was I wouldn't immediately jump into bed with the guy who ghosted me after my literal ass was on the front page of the paper.

[BoozyQueen · Rating 3 out of 5]

I happened to skim through a lot of parts of the novel. It was an ok read but for the most part I feel like this book was not outlined properly. H was an alpha (or the author intended him to be) but based on the personality there’s nothing that really made him stood out to be the CEO alpha male as the book suggested. The only thing that he good at was splurging but for most part I was confused by who he should be as a character. I think the author was filling in too much cliche in this book - OTT rich alpha male, helpless heroin who insisted she could fend for herself but really not doing much for her life, heroin sick and dying father, hero battling for his company and yada yada. From all of the cliches, the author only chose to highlight their romance and possibly overshadowed some other conflict that could be the point of interest for the book.

Leah is a no-nonsense 25-year-old writer, with the stress of the world on her shoulders and is not looking to take handouts. Getting her book deal has been amazing but time-consuming on top of her other responsibilities. Her roommate and friend is telling her to loosen and up and lose the grip on that v-card, she knows she has a point but Leah is not willing to get hurt again, and this book deal is too important. Well, that is until a hot smug man in suit saves her from a random drunk man on this sidewalk. Luke Steele is about to turn her world upside down, in return she is going to do the same to his.
This hot dirty talking Shorty was all fun, sweet with emotional aspect, frustrations, hotness an inst- all kind of read with the fantasy feel, that I enjoy reading.

[K. Smock · Rating 5 out of 5]

There is Leah, an aspiring romance writer who at 25 years of age is still a virgin. Then there is Luke, the CEO of a publishing firm, who helps her out when she is accosted by a drunk when walking down the street in NY. The meeting is electric and Luke can stop thinking about her. When they meet again by chance, Luke asks her out for a date and things get going from there. When his merger is about to fall apart and he needs to appear more stable, he asks her to be is "fake" fiancé. Will it really be fake? Can there spark ignite? You will need to read the book to find out. I really enjoyed this book and hope you do as well.

Hhmm

Unfortunately it seems as I'm the only one who wasn't into this book. which is a good thing! Lol. I almost felt like this book was written by two separate people then put together. The beginning wasn't bad. A little drawn out. Then the end was super rushed and had a different feel. At the beginning she was super shy and inexperienced and at the end it was all give it to me big boy I can't wait. Dirty talking son of a gun with a little dom/sub feel. Felt odd too me. The whole fake fiance thing didn't happen till almost the end and then everything happened so fast with really no explanation or details. Just didn't feel much connection with this one. I like that it had an epilogue and a happy ending.

[Meghann Alford · Rating 5 out of 5]

his latest book by Riley Rollins is a very sweet romance that's takes its time. Luke is a successful billionaire. Leah is a young woman just starting her new career. A chance meeting gets them started on a new romance. Soon things escalate past what they expected but it all ends very well. These two took their time in their romance but when they came together it was very passionate. Very great book! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

Oh what a beautiful, romantic story. 25 year old Leah Price loves to write, wants her own novel published and look after her dad who is ill. She is warm, caring, compassionate and down to earth. When she is accosted one day in town, she never dreams for one minute that anyone will help. Luke Steele decides to help a young girl getting harassed. Little does he realise that meeting Leah will have a big impact on his life. Two people, so different from one another in the lifestyle stakes, but Leah brings something to Luke's life he badly needs.....a loving, caring woman who wants him and not his money. Lots of plots in Luke's business life but once again , Leah is there with him all the way. A really beautiful story. Loved it all

I loved reading the amazing and awesome romance story written by the wonderfully talented Riley Rollins. I voluntarily reviewed a copy.
When Luke finds out he needs a wife to improve his CEO image, he can only think of one woman, the woman he rescued, started dating, and is unlike any of the women he usually dates. At first, Leah is shocked but then realizes that she doesn't want to stop seeing Luke and if this is a possibility of helping her father, this is the right choice. Leah wonders what will happen when the CEO is finally chosen for the publishing house merger.
Read the highly recommended, riveting story line and beautifully written, and a must read love story.

This was a cute and fun love story. Leah is not swayed by Luke’s wealth, and he finds that an irresistible change from the usual women he dates. When his career is threatened unless he gets engaged, he – and Leah – discover just what is really important in life. There are a few surprises in store, and the ending isn’t quite what you’d expect, though rest assured they do get their HEA. I liked reading about Luke and how he was looking for a woman with more character and integrity, and I liked Leah’s commitment to herself, even when she thought she’d lose Luke.

When twenty-five year old virgin Leah Price met the handsome stranger on the street, her whole day changed for the better when he finds her and asks her out on a date, until she discovers he’s her new boss, Luke Steele. After their date, and things seem to be heating up for the pair, she becomes wary of moving things along until Luke makes her a “proposal” she can’t refuse.. become his fake fiancé. What could possibly go wrong when a billionaire playboy wants a virgin like her to be his fake bride? Will they be able to pull off the deception? Or will everything change when real feelings get in the way?

Leah just got the offer of a lifetime. A three book deal to write her romance novels, only problem is that she doesn't have any real life experience. Luke is the CEO of the publishing company she just signed with, and is having trouble with the takeover that is being planned. They don't know each other, but that is all going to change with one look through the car windows. Things are going great with them until one fateful night that it all blows up in their faces. Luke leaves for his own benefit, but a little love makes him see the light. I loved how this book ended. The perfect ending in my opinion. I voluntarily read an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

Another absolutely fabulous book from Riley! Really enjoyed it, great storyline, great characters. Luke Steele is definitely one of my favourite :-)
Luke is CEO of his own publishing company, he is out getting some lunch when he comes across the lovely Leah, rescuing her from a not so nice person. They both have their secrets, but hit it off straight away. What will happen when these secrets come out?!? Have a read and find out. Really great book and highly recommended

I loved the latest from Riley Rollins! A 25 year old Leah is striking out to be an author, with a book in the works and a five book deal with Diamond House Publishing. On the way to a meeting with her editor she is rescued by Luke. Both can't forget about the other, but think that one moment is it until Luke runs into her again. Leah is so unlike anyone else Luke has met and when his livelihood is threatened she is the one person he wants and trusts to help him. I loved Leah and Luke.
