Kingsley and Mina are newlyweds and everything in their life is perfect. Everything except one little thing.

Kingsley loves his wife so much that it drives him crazy. He’s too big, too strong, too obsessed with her. So much so that he has to hold back. He ties her down to keep himself in control and won’t allow himself to let go.

Mina loves her husband, but she knows he’s keeping part of him away from her. He’s broken his tightly held control only once and it was the best night of her life. Now she’s got a plan be the one on top, and there’s nothing he can do about it.

Warning: Find out what happens when an alpha unleashes a shot of pure, hot dominance. Spoiler alert...it’s filthy.

➳A possessive alpha-male trying to control himself? Yeah right... Kingsley doesn't know what became over him after having lost control with Mina...



➳A story filled with insta-love, possessive alpha-male... That's nothing new coming from Alexa Riley. But... this book did feel different in a way that makes you want to continue it's filthy, hardcore romance that attracts you to the writing of AR. Gaining control is something that Kingsley is good at, but his adored wife Mina, wants the opposite. She wants Kingsley to stop pushing himself back from loosing himself in her, and start taking hardcore actions that makes Mina crave it.

➳Getting his hands dirty is not something new for Kingsley, aka King. And his Queen, Mina wants everything that is him. Restraining himself is something that he has had to to do, but now he unleashes the power of being down-right filthy with her and expressing his inner, honest thoughts of her. Their love for each other is not one that is a surprise, but it brings a combination of tenderness and curiosity since the innocence of Mina, is one that vanishes the moment she finally has the true King comes out to play in a seductive way.



➳If you are not looking for anything insta-love then this is not the book for you. But if you have a filthy mind like mine, then you need to read this beauty. The fact that AR releases at least one novel every week now has me craving their writing every single day. Thank you to AR for acquiring an ARC for me as I will forever be grateful.

It's Live!

Hot freaking damn! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I made a post not long ago on Facebook about the things I was in the mood for...steamy, OTT possesive alpha, babies, sweet, great heroine, some humor, zero ow/om drama, no dead ex's, no old flames showing up ....easy peasy stuff right??

Well let me tell you, Alexa Riley hit that request out of the park with the story. This was yet another classic Alexa Riley story and I adored it.

- no cheating or ow/om drama whatsoever
-OTT possessive alpha
-lots of steam (read it on a flight and hoped the close quarters kept roaming eyes at bay)
-zero pushing away
-fantastic epilogue (1 month and ten years later) with babies

Nothing against the book!
It was slightly different and the idea of the story was cool.

But...
I want to fuck her until her legs don’t work and she needs to use my dick as a wheelchair.


HOW? HOW can it work?
I can't even imagine how the underlined line could be ever performed.

"I want to fuck her until her legs don’t work and she needs to use my dick as a wheelchair."

━━━━━━━━━━━ ♡ ━━━━━━━━━━━

meh, i wanted more. this felt very dramatic, which shouldn't be a surprise, but i just wanted some like freaky rough shit and all we got was doggy style and throat fuck idk.

and then the guy's obsession with the girl popping babies dried me up sorry.

there was also way too much internal monologue, i just wanted them to fuck. i don't mean this in a mean way but you can definitely tell that this was written by soccer moms 😔

what even is that quote btw?

as always, alexa riley never fails to disappoint. Taking Her Turn was a brief yet sweet romance story that took my breath away and had just the right amount of cheese in it coupled with alexa riley's signature feel-good smut.

i really loved seeing how mina came into herself in the book and how she shed her shyness and inhibitions to become a bold, daring lover. furthermore, alexa riley definitely knows how to write drool-worthy alpha male characters that you can't help but adore. this was just what i needed tonight and i really want to start a full-length novel by this author soon!

Are we finally getting married couple trope again? WOHOOO! #doitdirty

"Taking her Turn" is the story of Kingsley and Mina, and MEOW.
A married couple discovering their dirty side, this was kinky and sweet at the same time. I LOVE when couples do it right, and this cum filled ride was the nicest form of commitment porn. Adored it!
Loved the name Kingsley, and the OTT epilogues are always so good.
Safe
4.25/5

PS. Why does the guy on the cover have no beard? Kingsley is supposed to be a hairy beast!

I am sad to say that my love affair with Alexa Riley is OVER.

I was in a mood for a short smutty read and AR is my go to author but this was B O R I N G. I found nothing hot or sexy about it.

And this is stupid Chapter One "his beard is long and rough" - Chapter Six "his five o'clock shadow is already showing". Check editing SOMEONE.

3.5 'Uncontrollable King' Stars!

Always a good time for a quick smutty story! It's been a while since my last read by Alexa Riley and today I decided to check another one out. I do have to say I enjoyed these books more in the past than nowadays but still, it was a quick sexy fix between reads. I love stories with married couples and these duo of authors surely know how to write that smut!

I loved this one! So sweet and fun to read. AR surely know how to write OTT alpha males and sweet, hot stories. I can read their books everyday and I'll be so happy!

The story is about Kingsley and Mina.

They're newlyweds. He's always in control, afraid he'll hurt her so their sex has always been soft and sweet except for the one time he came home after he went out of town and lost his control.

Yes, she loves it but she doesn't like him to hold back. She wants him to lose control and stops treating her like she's so fragile.

I loved how much he loves her. He's so possessive and protective of her and he's so sweet!

It has beautiful epilogues.

Esta novela pese a no ser diferente a las otras que he leido de Alexa Riley, tiene un toque distinto por el hecho de que la historia comience despues de que la pareja protagonista este casada.

Honestamente, no es de las mejores de las autoras, pero se lee muy rapido ( en menos de 30 minutos ) y cumple su funcion, distraerte entre lecturas mas complejas o cuando no tienes demasiado tiempo para relajarte con un libro.

2.25 Estrellas!

Reto 2018: Un libro con menos de 100 páginas

Cortito, sexy y con escenas muy HOT que es lo mejor de todo el libro. Tiene la misma fórmula de Alexa Riley con la excepción que ellos ya están casados.

Especial para cuando no tienes nada que leer y no quieres perder el ritmo.

Ah...A typical Alexa Riley book.
The one where you can be brainless.
Husband and Wife have rarely been away from each other after they married.
Husband loves Wife too much that he ties her in bed while having sex so that he does not lose control. But Wife wants him to be Out of Control. She wants it hard and rough.
So one day she decides to turn the page and tie him instead.
Lol.

That's why I said be brainless.

De varias historias que he leído de Alexa Riley esta sin duda ha sido la más tierna y dulce, incluso podrías decir que algo diferente, en esta historia los protagonistas ya están casados, aunque cuentan su historia de amor, a mi parecer sucede en un instalove demasiado rápido. Una historia muy al estilo de Alexa Riley.

Güzeldi, güzel.
Bu arada, sevişmeleri çıkarın kalanı spoiler yahu bunların. Sjfkfgkg

Gene evli çift kurgusu ki bence bu kurguları daha güzel yazıyorlar. Sınırlarını zorlayan çiftlerden bir tane daha yazıvermişler.
King, iri bir adam olduğu için karısını incitmekten korkuyor ama Mina kendisini tutmasını istemiyor falan filan.
Gerisi boyna sevişme, düzüşme.

3* STARS!

Mini Review:
Finally a decent story! Also gorgeous cover as always. The story is quite rare because they're a married couple. Mina felt something missing with their sex life. She wants his dirty and raw sex but her husband is afraid to lose control. Kingsley just love his wife too much and settle for slow and 'vanilla' love making. After Mina finally let out the beast, Kingsley is totally OTT alpha male in every sense. Possessive af.

I loved how they have back story (before marriage) even it was an insta-love, but still appreciate it. Sometimes Kingsley could be hyperbole with how much he wants to Mina. Sadly, it ended up with they're having kids and not enough dirty sex! GAHHH. I'm so frustrated. But surprisingly, there's no baby/cum talk. Whew.

Kadın(lar (iki kişi yazıyor biliyorsunuz Alexa Riley iki yazar fkflfşv)) uzun yazınca kısa kes, kısa tutunca biraz daha yaz, dram yazınca too much drama, dram olmayınca çok boş diyoruz ben de şaşırdım n'apsınlar ckdlfld

Buna benzer bi kitapları daha var hatta adı da benzer hatırlamıyorum hangisiydi, bunda hiç bişi yok, blurbta okuduğunuzun kitapta seks ile süslenmiş hali, hot hot hot. Fena değil. Herifin içsel konuşması bu işte şöyle istiyorum böyle istiyorumları biraz daha fazla olsa daha güzel olurdu gibi.

Bi ara uykum gelsin diye okursunuz.

Los libros de Alexa Riley son siempre espectaculares de leer. Son cortitos, predecibles pero eso es bueno porque sabes que siempre acabarán bien. Este no ha sido diferente y como a mí me encantan los hombres posesivos y gruñones ha sido un placer leerlo. Me viene de maravilla para pasar entre libros extensos.

Newly wedded couple, Kingsley and Mina truly loves each other but Kingsley doesn't want to hurt his precious wife in anyway. Now Mina wants Kingsley to be rough in bed with her so the little things she does triggers her husband's inner caveman and boy does she loves it!

This made me smile !! What do you do when your perfect husband is just too sweet ? To perfect, too gentle and doesn’t take your hard !! You need to force his hand!!

So Mina pushes him over the edge !! Their love is sweet and super passionate and I just love it so much !!

The ending was sooo sweet !! King is the ultimate girl dad and I love it !! You need to read this story if you haven’t because it will literally make you swoon !! No worries, my quote is from the epilogue so it won’t ruin the story for you !!

She asked for a dress!” I shout, and Mina looks out through the shower glass at me.

“What?”

“She asked me to take her dress shopping,” I say and feel relief in my chest.

I didn’t realize I was so worried about it until she said the words, and now I’m relieved. I jump in the shower with Mina and pick her up and pin her to the tile wall.

“I told you so,” she says smiling at me.

“Don’t be so smug,” I say, and I thrust into her.

She moans as her legs tighten around me.

“After I’m done getting you off you’re going to tell me how to buy a dress.”

Her giggle turns into another moan as I remind her who the King is.
