Surprised that I liked the suspense elements

[Azet · Rating 4 out of 5]

"Stolen to Remember" is the first instalment in the steamy series about the Warsaw Brothers who have made a pact to only take their wives to their private secluded Island.In this one Kade Warsaw`s wife Collins suffers amnesia after a car-accident and Kade takes her to his Island to win her heart all over again. This was short,sweet,exciting and sexy!

I also loved his brothers encounters with their heroines,seems their women will lead them on a crazy chase.Really look forward to the next one!

"Stolen to Remember" is the story of Kade and Collins.

Sweet! The queens are back in their true form, with my favorite kidnapping smut.

This time around, we have amnesia, a smitten hero, a lost heroine, some sweet kisses, lots of fear, sibling love and rivalry and HEA.

Cannot wait to read about Vaughn and Xander and Berkley and Lula!

Safe

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 4.5 stars

So, so cute! A nice, simple, adorable read! Perfect for relaxing 😌

Collins was sweet and was ferociously loved by Kade! Their romance is one for the books!

I wish that we got more of a background, maybe a prologue or something. I also think the plot would have been even more interesting if he kidnapped her and pretended they were married even though they weren’t.

I am excited for the next books of the series, but I am not sure if they will too this one!

This was an atypical amnesia trope, at least for me. It kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what the hell was really going on. I also really liked Kade. I’ll no doubt be continuing this particular series because I want to find out about the other couples.

[Darlene I read WAY to many books · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty fast pace novella and some steam. A trope I really dont enjoy but we shall see.

Memory lose and a husband, this is what Collins is going though when she wakes up at a hospital. Not knowing who these 3 men are But deep inside her she knows one he seems familiar. As for Kade he has to keep his wife safe and make sure his borthers are safe and not driving him crazy as he tries to get his woman to remember them.

Few fights with his brother, his wife sister and their island has Collin finally remembering what happened. Now that she finally got her memory back they can move forward and enjoy their honeymoon and not worry about the bad guys... atleast for this book.

And we got a sneak peek of the next couple ;)

No ow/om drama, no cheating, secondary charas, tiny drama, sexy time, virgin gal and no manwhore

There is no substance to your stories any more Alexa Riley. It's just a copy paste of every other books you guys have already released. Used to be your biggest fan, but now it's not even worth reading the full story anymore. I literally can finish your story in less than 10 minutes just skimming through it because it's ALL.JUST. THE.SAME. So disappointed.

[Fiona Fog · Rating 5 out of 5]

A whirlwind romance ensues with our leads Kade and Collins meet. After falling into him, Kade knows she's it. The one he's been waiting for. Sure it's fast but that's not going to stop him from sliding a ring onto her finger and saying I do.

Collins was only rushing to a job interview, running late she stumbles into Kade and her forever. But just when you think it's going to happily ever after an accident robs Collins of her memories and him.

Kade will do whatever it takes to help her remember them.

Okay I know it's over the top, but that's what I crave when I dive into Alexa Riley. Over the top Alpha's. That treat their woman like treasure. No cheating, fun laugh out loud moments and happily ever after's that these two excel at.

[Mariella Castro amaro · Rating 3 out of 5]

Una historia sencilla y rápida de leer, sin muchas complicaciones. No profundiza en como se conocieron Cade y Collins, ni mucho menos como desarrollaron sentimientos tan rápido, pero estuvo entretenido.

[Crystal K · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars

See, it's sweet and all. But how did Kade not know that Collins had a sister? Like, WTH did they even talk about? The book is short, and we get hints of other brothers finding their future partners too. So, I won't be continuing the series because I know what to expect. This book is pretty vague when it comes to explaining the plot. If you want to read a simple smut with no drama, then go for it.

[Alba M. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Collins se despierta en una habitación de hospital sin recordar que la ha llevado allí. Para más inri, al parecer se ha casado y el hombre desaliñado y preocupado a su lado es su supuesto marido. Pero a pesar de que Kade parece un marido devoto no parece querer tocarla y las sospechas de Collins se vuelven cada vez peores...

Le temía a este libro pobre pensé que iba a ser un rollo 365 DNI, el cual ya por delante os digo NO ME GUSTA. Así que iba muuuuy reticente con esta historia. PERO NO, nada que ver. Esta historia fue muuuuuy dulce, maravillosa y cortita pero bonita ❤️. Kade fue un amor y un cliché como todos los hombres de Alexa pero no puedo vivir sin ellos... Amo estas historias y son geniales como ya sabéis para pasar el rato!

[eevee · Rating 3 out of 5]

Collins wakes up with no memories and a man claiming to be her husband. It’s strange that no one else seems to have known that they were married, but what can her husband Kade be hiding?

I thought this would be a bit darker with the kidnapping and amnesia, but it wasn’t. Kind of unclear why Kade didn’t tell his brothers about everything going on though, because it seems like there’s safety in numbers but I guess not.

Wouldn’t keep on my shelf and probably won’t reread, but I’d recommend it if you like sugary sweet romances.

[Jamie (TheRebelliousReader) · Rating 3 out of 5]

3 stars. Ehh, this one was kinda weird. I'm only giving it three stars because I liked the characters but the plot to this was so paper thin and nonsensical. I am interested in reading about Collins's sister though in the next book so I hope the plot will be better.

This is the 3rd Alexa Riley book that I've read that had amnesia. It didn't blow my mind, but it was pretty good. I'm excited to continue the series.

CUTE
A short sexy read with a little bit of mystery!
All the characters were likable ! The epilogue was so sweet ,the next book will be Vaughn's story the youngest brother, but who I am really excited about is Xander the middle brother 🙂 God ...that man is grumpy and intense I am dying to see how dr.Lula will bring him to his knees 🤗

—Sé que vas a pensar que estoy lleno de mierda pero estoy bastante seguro de que no me he fijado en otras mujeres desde que llegaste a mi vida.

Dijo eso y se conocieron hace dos semanas: la semana 1 se conocen, están juntos y se casan. La semana 2 está inconsciente la chica, medio viva medio muerta. Es casi obvio que no vas a mirar a otra en apenas dos semanas, cuando una la pasaste en el hospital esperando a que tu nueva esposa reviva.

Pareciera que con haberse leído un solo libro de la autora alcanza para conocer todo su catálogo (y eso que este apenas es el segundo que leo de ella). Es un instalove horrible, cada vez más rápido, donde están enamorados perdidamente a la semana y donde el hombre siempre está lleno de guita. Que además los protagonistas masculinos son una especie de Superman, ya que siempre están para solucionar todos los problemas de su pareja y amigues de ella.



A pesar de que es cortito se me hizo hiper tedioso y no puedo creer que esto vaya a ser trilogía y tenga que leer los restantes.
Solo espero que en los siguientes las escenas sexuales no sean nuevamente narradas por los hombres, porque usan unos adjetivos ULTRA PEDORROS para describir una maldita vulva.

Ughh.... this is not my cup of tea. Definitely not continuing with the series.

[A-reader · Rating 4 out of 5]

My reviews always contain spoilers, I write them so I can remember the story.

Collins wakes up in a hospital and doesn’t know who she is, she can’t even remember her own name. And, who is that hot handsome man? He says he is her husband, Kade. Since she feels safe and comfortable with him she believes him.
Kade is pretty mysterious about the accident that caused her amnesia. His two brothers, Xander and Vaughn didn’t know he was married and he is not forth coming with the details.
Of course he is very rich and owns a private island where he whisks the family and a neurologist off to. Collins is attracted to her hot husband but he tries to keep his distance from her. They do share a few kisses. She wonders why he is being weird but he tells her she needs to heal. She one morning remembers that she has a sister, Berkley, Kade asks Vaughn to find her.
Berkley shows up right as they are enjoy some sexy oral times. She too doesn’t know that Collins got married. Kade explains that their courtship was very whirlwind. That explains why he doesn’t even know basic stuff about her.
While going to see her Dr for a checkup Kade almost crashes their golf cart when a toucan flies at them. The near accident causes all of Collins memories to return, she says “it was all your fault”, then passes out.
The brothers getting into it when Kade won’t answer any of their questions. When Collins awakens they all get the full story from him.
Turns out he has agreed to work with a new company back in Chicago, the deal was too good to be true so he did some digging and found out the company was owned by the mob. He wanted no part in working with the mob. He turned all info over to the FBI. They asked him to play along while they built a case. Near the end of the case Kade met Collins and fell instantly in love. After three day they got married. Then the accident happened. I guess the mob found out that he set them up.
Everyone is all caught up so it’s time for Kade and Collins to consummate their marriage. Sweet and hot sexy times for them. Lots of I love yous and epilogue with them getting remarried so both can have their siblings present. Five years later with a daughter and her pregnant again this time with a son.

There was lots of tension between Xander and the neurologist, Lula. He’s the grumpy brother and does not want Lula on the island anymore. There is definitely an attraction with flirting between Vaughn and Berkley, their story is next.

[Kiley · Rating 2 out of 5]

Stolen to Remember, Book 1 of the Stolen series, was about Kade Warsaw and Collins Tramble.
Side Note: This book was not Alexa Riley's usual writing style. While it had a good deal of suspense and was high in angst and drama, it lacked her usual focus on the relationship.
The Novella started out with Collins waking up in the hospital after having been involved in an accident. Unfortunately, she couldn't even remember her name, let alone that she had recently married Kade. She also wasn't aware of the fact that the car wreck she and Kade had been in had, in fact, not been an accident. It had been a deliberate act in an attempt to take their lives.
Wanting to protect Collins, Kade pretty much abducted her by sneaking her out of the country and to his family's privately-owned island. While there, Collins slowly began to regain her memories...one of which was the fact she had a younger sister who was away at university in England. One of Kade's brothers was sent to escort her to the island, both for her safety and to be with her sister as she recovered from the accident.
The story had such potential to be an excellent, full-length romantic-suspense novel, but it fell short of even being enjoyable. There were many loose ends that didn't reach their destinations, and there were issues that weren't resolved. While it wasn't a cliffhanger, it certainly felt like one.
There were angles to the story that didn't quite meld together, and because of the unresolved issues, the characters ended up being flat and boring.
Alexa usually has more spicy scenes in her books, but this one didn't follow that familiar path. The same can be said for the characters. While they were enjoyable to read about, there were just too many details left out, even more than normal for this author. They were a touch immature, while at the same time, they were unrealistic. The whole premise of the story and characters just wasn't cohesive. Even the dual epilogue was...oh, I don't know, they just didn't make sense, I guess. If Alexa wanted to give a little intrigue or a touch of that push/pull a story has when there is a reason for jealousy, waiting until the final epilogue was NOT the way to go about it. That should have happened long before the end of the book. It was as if several chapters were inserted into the book out of order.
Because of all the inconsistencies, this book only got a two-star rating, and that was me being nice and not going lower. I hope the next two books fair better than this one.

Many years ago, brothers Kade, Xander and Vaughn bought an island promising to live on it when they got married. Out of the blue, Kade is in the hospital with his new wife who they knew nothing about. Collins wakes up in the hospital with no memory of who she is and Kade telling her that they're married. They all leave for the island with no real answers of the accident or how Kade and Collins met. Kade was very protective of his new wife and keeping the truth from everyone. I loved how close the brothers were and had each backs. Collins' memory came back little by little and there was no crazy big reveal which was appreciated. Collins' sister Berkley made it to the island and there was chemistry between her and Vaughn, as for Xander there was a love/hate thing going between him and Lula, the doctor on the island who was brought in the take care of Collins. It was a good story and I want to see what the dynamic will be with brothers' significant others.

[Rose · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this short story. It was entertaining and enjoyable once I stopped going back and forth trying to figure the story out before it got there. The characters were interesting and likable. There were plenty of feels with this story. I did a lot of flip-flopping with the story and the characters but it was a great story. Collins is very trusting and just seems to know Kade is hers even though she doesn't have any memories. Kade is very alpha and wants to fix everything even when he knows that he can't. He knows that Collins is his and just needs her to remember their love or to fall in love with him all over again. His brothers were the biggest sticking point that he had I think. They weren't sure what he was doing or what he was up to and so that contributed to the flip-flopping I was doing. Kade and Collins were wonderful together. Their happy ever after made me smile. I recommend reading this book.

3.5

Es bueno pero no para las 4 estrellas, ya que me duro como una hora, yo y los libros de 100 páginas somos enemigos y amantes ya que me gustan pero no se sienten, se pasan tan rápido que el sentimiento no perdura.

Y es medio raro, la sinopsis nos da a entender que es sobre un secuestro porque el protagonista está medio obsesionado de la protagonista pero no están así, por lo que tengan calma.

Reseña

Collins ha sufrido una pérdida de memoria y viaja a una isla junto a su marido, en esta isla ella de apoco irá recordando poco a poco partes de su vida, también gracias a una doctora esto será mucho más rápido, cuando llegue la hermana de Collins, gracias a la ayuda de Kade, esposo de Collins los recuerdos llegarán cada vez más rápido, hasta el momento en donde recordara que fue lo que la hizo quedar en ese estado, ademas de tomar las partes y encontrar el verdadero problema que hay detrás de todo.

First things first; I really like the cover of this book!
Stolen to remember is book one in the ‘’stolen’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters loveable and the storyline enjoyable. When Collins wakes up in a hospital with no memory she never expects where it leads. With a handsome man claiming to be her husband will she ever remember.
The chemistry between Collins and Kade is clear to see and I liked them together. I thought they were perfect for one another.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series. I need Vaughn’s story now!

Stolen to Remember is the story of Collins and Kade.

She loses her memory due to an accident that happened in the states and spends a week in the hospital then moving to the island with Kade, her supposed husband. She tries to remember things but she can’t and Kade is quiet and doesn’t give anything away. Man didn’t even know she had a sister due to them marrying 3 days after they met each other then getting into the accident. One day she remembers everything and finds out that the accident happened cause of Kades actions but it really wasn’t his fault that he was targeted by the mob. So yeah they have a happily ever after and a couple of kids and Kade is still his possessive and jealous self not letting her leave for more than 30 minutes. Yh I love her sister and I already read her book and I know that she loves to give Vaughn a hard time AHHHH.

Solid 4/5

What a way to spend your honeymoon! Kade and his two brothers are keeping vigil at his brides hospital bedside. The problem is that Kade’s bride doesn’t remember anything...not her name, not his name, not even that they’re in love. Great meet cute in an elevator where she literally falls for him. Kade whisks the family and his new bride off to their private island complete with neurological specialist. His plan is simple keep everyone safe and make her fall in love again. Heartwarming and funny how the extended family handles the new normal.

1 STAR

Ridiculous. I loved Alexa Riley's Everything For Her and I can't believe she's the same author who wrote this one. A meh story with no substance and no chemistry. The story was rushed, no build up whatsoever. All that mystery and the reason was just that? Meh ridiculous. It had potential but I felt the author was too lazy to polish it and just wrote whatever for the sake of getting another book out there. Totally lackluster, totally a disappointment. Don't bother wasting your time reading this.
