Back River Quiver

Rate this book
Morgan is just looking to have a fun spring break until her workaholic mom brings along her new boyfriend. But when she ditches the two of them she ends up lost in a swamp, ankle-deep in mud, and facing down a gator the size of Godzilla.

Rixen has been praying for God to send him his angel, his rightful mate who will live with him in the swamp and bear his children. When he finds the strawberry-blonde beauty before him in danger, he doesn’t hesitate to save her. Then claim his reward.

Warning: Okay, so, um, this is amazing terrible. This is so over the top, it’s on top of over the top. This book is on the level of ridiculous that surpasses all our stunts before this. You know what happens when we team up with Jessa Kane…but this is hands down the best/worst we’ve ever done. And we’re so proud we could wrestle a gator. Spoiler: There’s a lot of animal wrestling ahead. Grab your overalls and bug spray, we’re going in the bayou.

This got a little weird in the end but apparently daddy issues, Stockholm syndrome, and sexy swamp men are things that I fuck with 🤷🏼‍♀️ this was hilarious and I thoroughly enjoyed it lmao

(btw this deals with “breeding” which is not something I’ve ever read about before and I kinda hated it but I also kinda loved it??????? Who am I)

Having just finished a long series I found I needed something light and meaningless as a break before I moving on. In cases like this I usually check out Alexa Riley and that’s when I came across this.

Now I’m not expecting a serious read I mean even the blurb describes it as amazing terrible. This is so over the top, it’s on top of over the top. This book is on the level of ridiculous that surpasses all our stunts before this.

Sounds perfect and seriously who can resist that cover?

We don’t know how old Rixen is but we know he’s waited decades for his mate. He’s prayed every night for his gift. In the meantime he’s created a beautiful home for her, he’s read book after book on pleasing a woman and yes he’s a virgin.
Let’s be honest who wouldn’t want a tall muscled guy who worships the ground you walk on.

Morgan is lost and facing a huge alligator when she’s saved by an even bigger man. It turns out this man thinks she’s his gift.

I enjoyed this book it was the smutty light break I needed but..

My problem and I know I’m being picky you don’t have to tell me but.

Hours seemed to pass as the moisture left him, rolling down the insides of their thighs like cake batter, making a puddle on the bedclothes and spreading, spreading.

Cake batter?

Really?

Why?

I know this isn’t a serious read and there’s only so many words left to be used I suppose but I hated “baby gravy” and I hate “cake batter” as well.
Can we keep away from the food analogies in the future please.

”Did you mean it when you said…you want me to…”
“Come on my face?” Rixen rasped. “It will be my greatest honor, Morgan. I’m going to lap it up like a fucking hound.”
🐊

aint this dude sweet?

Taking advantage of her open-mouthed surprise, Rixen scooped her up into his arms, turned on a booted heal and started back toward his home.
“Do not worry. I won’t let anything happen to you.”
“You’re what’s happening, bro.” She squirmed in his arms, but he held her still. “Oh my God. This is real. I’m being kidnapped.” A sob fell from her mouth, assaulting Rixen’s ears. “On the one hand, I don’t have to constantly worry about being kidnapped anymore. It’s done. It happened, you know? This is one immersive way to face a fear.”
Rixen frowned, something sharp eating into his chest. “I do not like that you’ve been scared all this time. I was right here, Morgan, waiting to protect you.”
“What if I don’t want to be protected?”
“You said you were afraid.”
“Yes, but I was protecting myself. And also yes, I did just say that while being carried by a giant through the Everglades to a second location.” She leaned back in his arms, seeming to scan the trees. “Is it too much to hope for that CCTV is picking this up?”
“I’m not familiar.”


reminded me of ‘sacrificed to the beast’ but i liked that one more

”You know, my car is up on the road. It’s a back road, but still. Someone is eventually going to come looking. This is going to look much better to a jury if I’m not found chained in your basement.”
He stopped walking. “Why would I chain you up?”
Morgan wet her lips and he almost exploded in his pants from the sight. “Okay, so…you’re what? A zip ties kind of guy?”


another caveman story
another virgin couple

”Rixen has pleased you. Say it out loud.”
“Rixen has pleased me,” Morgan replied, watching him from beneath eyelids at half-mast. “Like a boss.”
“Your virgin pussy has been sated by your mate. Say it now.”
Still shaking violently, the words were pushed past stiff lips. “My virgin pussy has been sated by my mate,” she wheezed.


and the cutest daddy kink

”Do you miss having a daddy, Morgan?”
Her eyes shot wide, fingers restless at the tops of his thighs. “I-I don’t know…”
Yes. “Someone to care for you. Someone to tuck you in and stroke your hair.”
One breath. Two. She nodded.
Rixen dropped down on top of Morgan, careful to keep most of his weight poised on an elbow. Their mouths met and breathed as one. “Your daddy didn’t give you cock.”
“No,” she whispered.
His erection bobbed at her entrance, begging to be let in, spewing stickiness onto her slit as if to lubricate his path. “Would you like one who does?”


at least he asked

my problem w most of jk books is the heroes (heroines too) are horny all the time. so no romance. which i guess was expected but im just saying. short novellas or not we dont need sex on every page. make 1 or 2 thats really good but slip in more domestic scenes / sweet gestures that arent sexual too. now THATS fun to me

so i think this is my sign to stop w the jk binge

hands down the funniest smut i've ever read

it's not very often that you read smut where the characters and the author are aware of the ridiculousness of the situations presented in the book. this was so excellent because of that self awareness. i was ROLLING fucking laughing the entire time.

morgan gets lost in a swamp and is rescued by a big hulking shrek who wants to "breed" her. morgan realizes how ridiculous this is.

example: "morgan was relating to a man who'd made an alligator his bitch." and that's not even the best of her inner dialogue.

fuck. if you want to read some smut just for the fun of it, you HAVE to read this one. 10/10 hilarious. would read again.

This collaboration of authors is known for their OTT storylines, so noone should be surprised. The story was wildly OTT and unbelievable and full of smutty lovin'. No cheating, and neither are with others after meeting.

Morgan had spent years being a pawn between her parents since their divorce, never feeling truly wanted for who she was. When she and her mom plan a vacation to Florida, Morgan is excited at spending time with her. However, when they arrive Morgan is shocked to not only meet her mom's secret boyfriend but also in learning the work trips were a lie. Saddened and acting out impulsively, Morgan needs to get away, but that action leads to her being lost and stranded...and staring at an alligator intent on making her it's next meal.

Rixen has spent his life living amongst the swamp and almost as long waiting for his angel, his gift, to appear. Though his younger brothers both found theirs, Rixen seems to frighten women, leaving him lonely. This has led him to doubt himself, bringing about vulnerabilities his jerky brothers exploit.

When he comes across Morgan and literally saves her life, he knows instantly she's the gift he's been waiting for, and focuses everything he is on getting her to see they're meant to be. Unfortunately, it takes Morgan time to accept this new reality and adjust to it. But that doesn't stop her from not so subtly defending Rixen when witness to his brothers evil ways.

As Rixen and Morgan begin falling for one another, one last obstacle is thrown in their path and Rixen, terrified at the thought of losing her, reacts badly and is aware of it the whole time.

Can he convince Morgan if his sincere regret? Will she understand why he did what he did and forgive him? What will happen to Morgan's plans for the future? Will she still go after them or seek what she really wants? Is a HEA possible?

One-click now and follow along as two people meet and experience love, and all that entails, for the first time with each other.

ALEXA RILEY AND JESSA KANE ARE GREAT AT WEAVING COMICAL YET INSTA-LOVE/LUST STORIES!!!!!

I loved the connection between Rixen and Morgan in the bayou in "Back River Quiver." This was not your stereotypical couple. On reading the blurb, I assumed that the hero was going to be similar to an ignorant backwoods fellow with vocabulary were mainly grunts maybe or say a Jethro Bodine in the classic TV show, 'The Beverly Hillbillies!' Not! Rixen was alpha, possessive, protective; well read with modernized home already prepared for 'his gift' - Morgan. When he protected her from the alligator, the only thing I could visualize then was Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan doing everything but his memorable jungle call.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwHWb...

And sarcastic but caring, Morgan, well she protected Rixen when his bullying younger brothers tried to downplay him, embarrass him in front of her and that right there was too special!

“I don’t know what I’m beginning to feel. Scared…but alive,” she murmured. “I just know that every second that passes, the more this feels like home. The more you feel like home.” - Morgan

Read it... it's sweet, it's cute but oh so smexy too!

No me agrado nada esta lectura, y eso no es solo porque la trama fuera irreal, absurda y estupida, sino tambien debido al aire tan machista y retrogrado que tiene la novela, realmente hubieron ciertas escenas que me resultaron muuuuy desagradables.

De los peores libros que he leido en mi vida, no se lo recomiendo ni a mi peor enemigo.

Ha Ha - don't know why I chose this book yesterday. Two stars because I like the gator wrestling but the rest of the story was kind of off. Also I know it is a thing of the author but this whole "call me daddy" thing so not my scene...

AR+ JK + Backwater smut...GIMME ALL THE MUDDY KINKY BATTER!

All of the semen in his body was meant to be released inside his gift.

Oh hell yeah.

"Back River Quiver" is the OTT lusty, cum leaking tale between Morgan and Rixen.

What happens when a 6'7 hairy giant recluse who wants a cum receptle and horny angel finds her right in his swamp?

Well he wooes *cough* kidnaps *cough* her with his penile leaking talk, gentleman courtsey and strange innocence, until she gives in.

All was going smooth until..

“Your daddy didn’t give you cock.”

Yup, insert DD/LG play..

I liked the sassy heroine, and how she protected him from shitty siblings- and this had a super cray cray hero too. Filled with leaky faucets and loaaaaads of daddy talk+ baby batter+ breeding kink, there was mild angst and a literal cougar fight which filled the heroine with "insatiable lust" (followed by animalistic mating).

If you dont mind OTT ridic plots with a sweet romance+ a couple so horny they copulate in the open+ multiple epilogues (which are fab), this is for you.

Would have been a 5 star if not for the ever jizzing virgin hero (my pet peeve ), the gator killings, as well as the DD/LG.

Safe

2* STARS!!

Mini review:
I almost.. almosttt say NO for this book. But the crocodile on the cover intrigued me. What's the worst that could happen? Apparently some weirddd stuff going on with the characters. Stars from abduction, daddy kink and uber hot swamp man.

I don't know what's year this man has live. He has a book; some kind a pleasure guide for woman. Both are virgins. It is very comical and laughable. Can't believe myself the duet authors make this. Oopsie! :))

Rixen siempre ha sido diferente. Cuando sus hermanos encontraron buenas esposas y una vida feliz, él volvió con las manos vacías. Pero creyó que Dios lo estaba poniendo a prueba, que un día le mandaría un ángel que lo querría y desearía pasar el resto de su vida con él. Y lo encontró, solo que no era un ángel... Aunque al final terminó siendolo.
Morgan solo quería escapar de su madre y terminó siendo perseguida por un caimán que casi se come su pierna. Después un hombre tan grande como una montaña la salva y dice que ella es su ángel. No, no lo es... O si?

Mira de verdad, no suelo emocionarme con estos libros cortos pero este, oh chico, este me hizo soltar un par de lagrimillas. Rixen me dió mucha pena. Tan cruel todo el mundo con él, cuando él es tan dulce, adorable y...y...y... Y haría lo que fuese por hacer feliz a su compañera. De verdad que escuchar lo mal que lo trataba todo el mundo me hizo llorar un poquito. Y después, cuando iba a sacrificar su propia felicidad por la de Morgan. Ay Dios mío! Que me muero de amor ❤️
Me ha encantado este libro, y por cierto la protagonista femenina no es de la del estilo de Alexa, tiene carácter así que la habrá hecho Jessa jajajaja. Aún así al final acaba siendo como las de siempre. Dios me ha gustado mucho mucho mi pobrecito Rixen ❤️

The original man. Built to fight off dinosaurs and fend for his kin.

I'm dying. This book was so much OTT fun.

Rixen (6' 7" of meaty man muscle, virgin) has been preparing his whole life for the gift he's been praying to God for. Stomping through his bayou one night, he comes across Morgan (virgin, city girl), who is about to become the prey of a hungry gator!! Of course, he wrestles the gator with his bare hands and saves the day!! DUH!! Morgan isn't quite convinced that she's the gift Rixen has been waiting for. But he does make a really good argument for himself, especially with all the licking he wants to do!!! Bless Rixen's gigantic heart!!! What's not to love about this hulking man who worships the ground Morgan walks on!?!?! I'll tell ya, it didn't take long for him to convince me and I wasn't even the one he was licking!

The sex is hot, she calls him daddy, and did I mention the sex is hot? It's also funny as hell. I laughed so much in this one. This is definitely a new favorite!
"Oh my God. This is real. I'm being kidnapped. On the one hand, I don't have to constantly worry about being kidnapped anymore. It's done. It happened, you know? This is one immersive way to face fear."

Where do I begin???

I don't know whether I want to cry or laugh- this book was just honestly hilarious. I no joke was rolling- this book had me in tears. The whole 'plot' just left me DEAD .

This book was just genuinely concerning and so bad, but in the best way possible. Jessa Kane and Alexa Riley are truly a questionable duo.

I am SO happy I read this. Don't come into this book expecting miracles, it was just so stupid and ridiculous- but I loved it so much.

This is a smutty quick read book. It is about 18 year old Morgan who finds herself stranded in swampland in Florida and much older Rixen who rescues Morgan from an alligator and subsequently kidnaps her because he believes she is his gift sent to him from god. And there begins our smut complete with instalove, D/lg, breeding, exhibitionism, etc.

I liked Rixen quite a bit. He was a good guy albeit a bit misguided with his approach. He told Morgan he wouldn't rape her or have sex with her until she begged for it. He was eager to please and would do anything to meet the needs of his "gift". Rixen also had some low self esteem due to his treatment by his brothers and other females that he met and that really had me feeling bad for him and wanting to give him a big hug. Morgan was fine. I liked her enough. Her character didn't feel developed enough for me to really get attached. I didn't dislike her though. I liked how she stood up to Rixen's brothers when they were being jerks to him.

The whole, "breed me, daddy" thing is not my kink so that was kind of just Meh and I rolled my eyes a couple times but just because that isn't my kink doesn't mean it isn't lots of other people's. Even with that, I still found the story to be quite entertaining and amusing. Overall, I give Back River Quiver 3.5 stars.

Just a heads up, this kindle book ends at 80%.

It was ok I guess. A little creepy. Not because of the "Daddy" term, but because of how it was executed in this story. Some things the Hero said, well, not my thing.
And I didn't care for the "voyeurism", the first one was childish and the second one was WTF. Nope.
Then there was the issue of him breeding her, all the time. They have so many children, that the short story didn't have enough space to give a little description of them all. They just keep pooping out of her, and of course, childbirth and rising children is a cakewalk.
Last but not least: The age difference was creepy too. It was cute how he stayed a virgin and all, but he waited for her dozens of years. So he's at least 20 years older than her, if not more. And she's just 18. Hmm, yeah. Creepy and a bit desperate if I may say.
And I didn't get his "beast", found it a bit childish and immature. Because it so didn't rang true.

So 2 generous points from me.

I expected the OTT possessive alpha and the slightly clueless virgin smexy times. What I did not expect was for this one to make me laugh out loud. And not just because Rixen fights and kills both and alligator AND a cougar with his bare hands. But also because of Morgan's inner dialogue and commentary. Seriously I laughed out loud. It's funny enough that I'm even going to put the effort in to add some of my favorite scenes, so enjoy:

She fit against him perfectly, her feet dangling on one side, her head on a swivel as she took in the passing scenery.
"Do not worry. I won't let anything happen to you."
"You're what's happening, bro," she squirmed in his arms, but he held her still. "Oh my God. This is real. I'm being kidnapped." A sob fell from her mouth, assaulting Rixen's ears. "On the one hand, I don't have to constantly worry about being kidnapped anymore. It's done. It happened, you know? This is one immersive way to face a fear."

~

"Do most kidnappers want their victims to come on their face?"
"Was that rhetorical?" Morgan rasped, before shaking herself. "S-so this is totally a sex thing? B-because…" A shudder racked her. "I think that's what I'm most afraid of, man. You're like the biggest Viking who ever Viking'd." She shook harder. "And I've never…I've never done this. Or anything like it. Oh my God."
"Virgin," he rasped, his balls tightening all the more. Possession burned through his blood. "You've never had a man."
"What tipped you off?"

~

And had Rixen seemed a little…embarrassed when he'd admitted to being a virgin?
Just like that, Morgan was relating to a man who'd made an alligator his bitch.
Oh God, how long did it take to for Stockholm syndrome to set in? Was she setting a record here for feeling sympathy for her captor? No. No, be strong, girl. Don't look at the prideful set of his chin and wonder if maybe, just maybe, this man really wanted nothing more than to cherish her with his tongue and some squirrel stew.

~

Swear to God, she'd meant to escape last night. Her last thought upon falling asleep was, as soon as he falls asleep, I'm blowing this surprisingly tasteful joint. And then she'd snuggled closer into the warm, protective embrace of Rixen, the alligator-wrestling man beast and dropped into the most complete unconscious state of her life. A meteor could have torn off the ceiling of the one-bedroom house and she would have yawned into her new, favorite chest hair pillow and gone back to sleepy town.
Well wasn't that just terrifying?

Oh my lord... this book. 😂😂 There was a warning at the beginning that it was super over the top and ridiculous. It was definitely that but also entertaining as fuck. I was dying.

Morgan is 18 and gets lost in the Florida swamps and finds herself trying to outrun a gator... but a huge 6 foot 7 beast of a man wrestles the gator and saves her. Rixen claims her as his gift..
“You’re the angel I asked for.”One hand dropped to the lap of his overalls, where he massaged a ridge of swelling flesh. “Come with me now so I can give thanks.”


Oh lordt. 😂😂

So he kidnaps her back to his cabin in the bayou that’s so ridiculously amazing that it rivals a five star resort. Morgan is spouting all kinds of random shit on the way there that’s making me laugh. The way she described Rixen’s appearance...

Granted, he wasn’t attractive in the classical sense. He was filthy and his hair hadn’t been brushed since the Obama administration. But he was built like a freaking skyscraper. If he wanted to get laid, there had to be some swamp girls who’d be down to hit that, right?


Eventually she gives into the lust she feels for him and then the Daddy talk comes in. Hoooo boy.

“Do you miss having a daddy, Morgan?
Your daddy didn’t give you cock.
Would you like one who does?”
“Is this how you want Daddy to tuck you in at night?”


I’m just cracking up at this whole entire book. I’m dead. 😂😂

As a plotline goes it’s pretty ridiculous but on an entertainment scale it is pretty fucking great. I mean - you have 2 police officers find Rixen rutting on Morgan in the middle of the swamp and they just stop and stare and wait for them to finish. And in the epilogue they decide to go into the little town nearby and Morgan decides to put her hands down Rixen’s overalls and grab his cock right in front of the motorcycle dudes they run into, then they proceed to start fucking around the corner. Oh and after 8 years of living in the swamp, Morgan comes full circle and finds herself face to face with another alligator- but this time she’s prepared and can jump right up on its back and slit its throat no problem. Yup.

I mean seriously - read this. I guarantee you’ll laugh at least once.

3.75⭐️
