Pure Alexa Riley gold!
I have said it before and I'll say it again, I could read these stories one right after another. Sweet and safe, with a heaping dose of sugar!
-zero cheating
-no pushing away
-awesome hero
-no violence of any nature
-safe- neither with others after meeting
-good epilogue but I needed much more into the future (which is why it was not 5 stars)

3.5 stars! Sweet, smutty and utterly swoon worthy...

”I want the whole package, Bailey. That’s what I’m after.”
This was easily a 5 star read from me. This was so damn sweet and I had a smile on my face the entire time I read this one! I not only adored the relationship between Bailey and Shawn but also how Shawn cared for her sister Hazel. He took care of them and considered them his family. If that doesn't make you swoon, then I don't know what will.
This was a sweet fairytale with a happily ever after that I highly recommend!

One of the all time SWEETEST little AR reads! <3

The Whole Package me parecio una lectura demasiado rosa y azucarada, es cierto que estas autoras no suelen escribir historias con partes dramaticas pero en este libro en concreto, el no tener ni siquiera un poco de drama le resto credibilidad a lo que narra, todo me resulto demasiado conveniente y precipitado.
1.5 Estrellas!

Cheesy and romantic. Hero is sweet and dreamy. Gotta love AR!

3 Sugary Sweet
Sugary Sweet, not too smutty, what happened to all the smut? The guy on the cover is NOT what I pictured as the CEO.
The storyline was different, she takes care of her sister who has special needs.
The Hero is a Virgin too!
The best part, it was short.
But not a fav of mine.

Holy sweetness overload!
Shawn has to be one of the sweetest hero's that I have read in a long, long time. But don't let that sweetness fool you. Hidden behind that sweetness is a possessive, protective alpha who will do anything for what he considers his.
Bailey was a sweetheart and I absolutely adored her little sister Hazel. I swooned with the way Shawn was towards Hazel.
Definitely worth..
4 big stars!

This was a super sweet quick read.
It had the Alexa insta-love but it was lacking the usual amount of smut.
It was a nice quick easy read. Bailey, Shawn and Hazel are fabulous characters especially Hazel she’s just precious.
I didn’t feel the cover was right for this book. The guy on the cover is not at all how I pictured Shawn.

Pure Alexa Riley...insta-everything
Bailey and Shawn were all kinds of sweet together. It wasn't as hot as some of her other books. Bailey's sister, Hazel, was nothing but light and goodness and smiles. Nice epilogue to finish it off.

I simply love anything that Alexa Riley writes, they are always entertaining from start to finish.
Bailey is awesome, she lives to look after her sister Hazel who has some special needs. Her mother has upped and disappeared leaving her with a house and car in desperate need of some serious repairs although her main priority right now is being able to afford the medication her sister needs. Working on the checkout of a grocery store she is hopeful of getting a promotion and decides to attend the shareholders meeting and convince the CEO to let her put Hazel on her insurance that way she can pay for the medication that Hazel needs. Only when she gets there the CEO is not some old balding man that she has pictured but a young handsome and nothing like she expected. She falls under Shawn’s spell from the minute she sees him, but could he really ever be interested in someone like her especially with all the baggage that she has got and how will Hazel feel about a new man in their lives?
Shawn Reed has taken the reins from his mother now that she has retired from Community Mart Grocery Stores, he’s been travelling the country getting to know his employees and checking the stores out. He is back in town and hoping to spend some time with mum but she’s on a holiday sailing the Bahamas. During the monthly shareholders meeting he notices Bailey arrive and pretty much from then on he is totally smitten. There is nothing that he won’t do to be in Bailey and Hazel’s life. He is determined to make them a family and nothing will stand in his way.
This book just made me smile all the way through Shawn is so cute and sweet and still perfectly possessive alpha male you have come to expect from an AR book and Bailey and Hazel are just sweethearts. Highly recommended to lighten up any day.

Bailey lleva años trabajando en el mismo supermercado para mantenerlas a ella y a su hermana. Ella estaría contenta si no fuese por su jefe Mason...
Pero ahora Bailey necesita meter a Hazel, su hermana, en su seguro médico o no podrá pagarle sus medicinas. Cuando acude a hablar con el dueño de los supermercados encuentra algo más... El amor.
Ay por favor si es que me los como a los dos, tanto a Bailey como a Shawn el protagonista. Él es tan dulce que me duelen los dientes pero es que Bailey se lo merece y Hazel también. Han pasado por tanta mierda por culpa de su madre...
Recomiendo mucho este libro si buscáis un hombre dulce que haría cualquier cosa porque la mujer que ama no tenga preocupaciones y sea feliz. Recordad que aquí todo va rápido pero siempre es bonito 😍

Sugar...
A one hundred percent Alexa Riley ridiculousness with so many cheesy greasy epilogues, a virgin hero, a virgin heroine and a cow named sugar.

The story is amazing. I am so happy to have read this one.
Bailey is struggling to work and care for her, special needs sister, Hazel. The home they have lived in is in need of repairs and her car is in need of repairs also. But she in hope of receiving a promotion at work. She has plans to go to the company's shareholder meeting, the CEO is also suppose to be there and hoping to talk to him.
Shawn Reed is CEO of Community Mart grocery stores. He has been traveling around to all the stores. The last store is in the town where he lives. It's also the store his mother started at. He became the CEO when his mother retired. He also planned to spend time with his mother, but she was taking a vacation, so he wouldn't be able to.
Shawn is listening to Belinda, the CFO, talking to the group when he notices that someone slips in, sit down behind another person. He is unable to see the person since she was blocked by the person in front of her. So he leans back his chair straining to see, when he is startled by Belinda, causing him to tip his chair more and falling backward. At the end of the meeting Shawn goes looking for the woman that caught his eye and once he finds her, he introduces himself and she tells him her name. He asks her what she was there for and she tells him she wanted to talk to him but the meeting took to long and she had to get home. Shawn gives her his card and tells her to call him when she has time to meet with him.
The story is sweet, adorable, making it a laugh out loud, fun read.

"The Whole Package" is the story of Bailey and Shawn.
A typical AR dystopic ideal universe novella where two strangers meet, have instant attraction and fall madly in love, find out there is double cherry and pop it with enough sweetness to counteract a sugarcane and molasses mix only to find the perfect happiest of happily ever after.
At this point, I read these to kill time, and in hope for an angsty, passionate, taboo-ish read. Alas.
Safe
1.75/5

Such a sweet, sweet read. Bailey is such a sweetheart, like bring her home to mom keep kind of sweet, she’s trying to take care of her adorable special needs little sister after their mother ran out on them. Shawn is the CEO of a grocery store chain and is honestly just a great guy. They were just so damn sweet together and the way Shawn was with her and her little sister was everything. It made my heart happy to read. Honestly all Alexa Riley books make my heart happy, which is why I always read them❤️.
This was an insta-love, sweet and safe read with two sweet as hell virgins. An alpha that takes care of his own and his girl, who is just a flat out great person. A little om and ow drama cray cray, but the main characters handle it well. Lots and lots of sexy times with a shit ton of baby batter. Epilogues and an hea. Psst....pretty sure I used the word sweet way to many times in this review, but damn it *stomps foot*, they were just so damn sweet 😉😍.

My heart is a big ball of mush. This was the sweetest story ever. I mean could Shawn get any more perfect? To know where the idea of this story came from makes it that much more sweeter. I'm gushing over this book. Love the bond between sister, I'm very close to mine. I love that he not only loved Bailey, but he truly love her sister too. She wasn't just a responsibility, he made her apart of everything. So in love with this one, I know I say that every time. But this one has that based on a true story thing going with it, or at least the idea from a true story, that makes me fall harder for the characters. Can't wait to read what's next.
September 16, 2018
Adorable!! Not as smutty as many other AR books (kind of a nice change) but still a delightful story if you love heroes who swoop in and make lives better and heroines who are doing everything they can to take care of those they love!

Like a cow Sugar this read was sweet and adorable. It was cute and heartwarming, showing the world of rainbows and unicorns. And sweet boys. Virgins.
But I did like it.
Even if it was too perfect.
Even if I never seen a men like this one.
Even if this was just so so sweet that at one stage I might have vomitted a bit in my mouth. But I swallowed it back cause sometimes we just need reads like this one. Especially after a rollercoaster of a read I had with my book before this one.
Happy end is just my kind of story. And this happy end?? Was damn fucking great! 🙊

This was a short but very heartwarming book and I cried several times. Shawn Reed is the CEO of Community Mart, a chain of grocery stores. His mother Martha started out as a cashier when she was sixteen and pregnant and worked her way up to become the company’s first female CEO. Bailey works as a cashier at Community Mart and she cares for her younger sister, Hazel who has special needs. Bailey and Hazel’s mom took off a few months ago and must have lost her job because Hazel no longer has medical insurance and her meds are expensive. Community Mart is having their quarterly stock meeting and all the employees have stock in the company so Bailey plans to attend the meeting and try to talk to the CEO about adding Hazel to her insurance. She doesn’t want the authorities to know her mom left because she is afraid they’ll take Hazel away from her and she refuses to be separated from her sister. When Shawn meets Bailey he is instantly attracted to her and feels very protective of her. She tells him her problem and why she can’t go to the authorities and Shawn promises to help her. Bailey is used to doing everything herself and not relying on others but Shawn quickly proves to her that she’s no longer alone. This book was so damn sweet and Bailey was an amazing, selfless woman who cared more about her little sister than herself. Shawn was protective, and so fucking sweet with Hazel which made me love him even more.

I haven't read an AR book in a while. I forgot how sweet and hot and sexy the Heros are. And this one was no different
Shawn was just freaking dreamy. What wasn't there to love about this story. Sweet, insta-love, hot alpha male and a heroine that your heart will just break. What always gets me is when there is a heroine that goes out of her way to take care of her family. And this be will just have you crying your eyes out. Shawn made me fall in love with him from the start and this story will have you hooked from beginning to end.
Definitely a story that will make you fall I love with alpha hero's
