Podia haber sido mejor. La trama tenia mucho juego pero al suceder todo tan rapido le quita lo interesante, ademas, al final tuve la impresion de que quedan asuntos sin resolver.
En conclusion, un relato breve y olvidable que solo sirve para pasar un rato distraida.
1.75 Estrellas!

"Say You’re Mine" is the story of Iris and Dutch.
A heroine living a forced life with a controlling family finds herself kidnapped, and whisked away by the hero. He never expects his job of retrieving the heroine would lead to him falling instantly in love, and that he would not be able to let go..
Big burly softie hero falling for the sweet innocent heroine- there's drama, smut, dirty talk, loads of sex and HEA. Yeah a few plots were rushed but oh well..
Safe
4/5

A good read. There were some continuity issues but they weren’t too bad. Nice little kidnapping story and I liked the twist at the end.

El plot tan over-the-top como es clásico en Alexa Riley pero el smut para una historia corta estuvo bien🔥

First things first; I love the cover of this book!
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 likeable and the storyline enjoyable. When Dutch is hired to find a missing child who would now be an adult, he doesn’t expect to want her. When Iris is kidnapped by a handsome stranger, her life is turned upside down.
The chemistry between Iris and Dutch is clear to see and I loved them together.
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.

Es una buena novela corta si buscas algo ligero, pero por lo mismo pasan muchas cosas muy rápido y sientes que no terminaron de resolver los conflictos o se molestaron en explicarlos mejor

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
.
En la historia conocemos a Iris, una chica que ha vivido engañada gran parte de su vida. Su madre la molesta constantemente, y cuando trata de emparejarla, el chico piensa en sobrepasarse con ella y es cuando aparece Dutch. La salva y a la vez no, porque él es un mercenario que ha sido contratado para secuestrarla.
.
En este viaje/secuestro descubriremos el pasado de Iris y quien es ella verdaderamente. Y al mismo tiempo caemos enamoradas de la posesividad del protagonista. Es un hombre rudo, grande y mandón que sucumbirá a los encantos de Iris. Y juntos nos darán escenas al estilo de Alexa Riley llenas de picante y amor, dulzura y posesión, que nos encanta y que hará vibrar a más de una.
.
Es una historia corta, entretenida que pueden leer en un par de horas. Como siempre, todo lo que sea de ellas, se los recomiendo.
PD. ¡Si les gustan las historias con la charla de daddy mmm definitivamente este tienen que leerlo!

pudo gustarme más pero:
1) mucho síndrome de estocolmo
2) el man se refirió a la vagina de la chica como “gatito”💀
3) en verdad detesto la mierda de «daddy», me incómoda demasiado 🤢

The plot is very interesting and I would LOVE for this to be a longer book, it could develop really well.
But it was well written and the couple belieavlable enough considering the length of the novella.

Ok, so firstly, I want to say thanks to Alexa Riley for the dedication (to another amazing author, Jisa) because I was able to read a few good books.
Secondly, I want to talk briefly about the fake mother. Can I just say that I wanted to literally shove bad food down her throat and make her wear ugly dresses!! 😤
If you read the book, you'll be on the same train as me (wink wink 😉).
Thirdly, I was actually sad for the real parents, but when I learned why they wanted Iris so desperately, I was beyond happy that Dutch "kidnapped" her.
Fourth point, DUTCH THE BIG BAD GUY WHO REALLY WAS A BIG SOFT TEDDY BEAR FOR HIS LITTLE THING 😭
His little kitten not only saved him in the process but also his heart by making him smile, cry, and fall in love, and have the family he thought he would ever want and need.
Fifth point, Dutch, who Iris at first had thought, was a villain of sorts who kidnapped her from her "family", ended up not only saving her and protecting her from both her horrible families (they all just wanted her for her fortune) but also loving her, giving her the warmth, attention, affection and everything she was missing in her life and ofcourse her happy ending and a family with her hero! 😭
Last point (I swear 😅), Dutch may have kidnapped her, and what they felt for each other might have stemmed from Stockholm syndrome, but in the end, it was and became WAY more than that, it was true love (idc what anyone else says). BECAUSE HE SAVED, and somehow along the way, became the unexpected hero (getting his true love) of his own story 😭 (as he should!).
P.S. idk why this story kinda reminded me of both Tangled (the anti-hero takes the damsel in distress away from her castle) and also Beauty and the Beast (like we all know who's the Beast & the Beast does take the Beauty as payment, I guess) .

Iris (Anna) was abducted as a four-year-old child and raised by her abductors. Dutch was hired fifteen years later by her birth parents to find her. When he did, he not only saved her from her captors/fake parents but also from being SA'd by another man that her fake mother was trying to marry her off to.
There was another attempt by her fake parents' security team to abduct her back, but Dutch managed to thwart them. However, that attempt made him realize there was more to the original kidnapping than her birth parents had told him, so he had someone else do a little more digging.
Come to find out, the real reason her birth parents wanted her back, as well as for the original kidnapping, was that everyone needed her alive in order to access her trust fund/inheritance that was left solely to her by her paternal grandmother.
While this was a short novella, it was full of angst and drama just like a full-length novel. It had all of the emotional rollercoaster twists and turns afforded to any other book, and it had its share of heartache.
The characters were a little bit on the underdeveloped side and they both lacked in the believability area. Iris/Anna was too trusting of just about everyone, and she was too easily swayed by them all. Dutch was too OTT in his machismo actions and was a little less swoon-worthy because of it.
I gave this a three-star rating because of all the grammatical errors and its cheesiness.

Iris grew up constricted by her mother who was a former model, and comforted by a distant kind of love shown by her businessman father. We see her coming of age and she is then being forced into marriage into one of the richest families in their social circle. But then, she’s kidnapped by a 6 ft 8 giant named Dutch who claims she’s been stolen at a young age and he is contracted to return her to her real parents.
The plot has holes in them- like why did the biological parents wait so long for them to find her? Was she that hard to look for, but easy for Dutch to figure out once he’s got his hands on the assignment? Why did Tomas, her fake father who kidnapped her, hid that he was in love with her all these years and never made a move? Never made her feel creepy? She’s a lost heiress but the only committee confirming her identity was a bank that needed her fingerprints? Lol
And Dutch. What a selfish man. But as usual AR’s style, you enjoy the short ride filled with smut and insta love between a huge man and a tiny woman whose ages are decades apart. 😩
Next!

Normally have nothing but love for AR, but this one hit wrong. Wasn’t insta-love, more like-oh, you’re rich? Cool, now you’re marrying me. Not the same thing. Again, still a huge AR fan. I won’t read this one again.
⭐️=barely finished it, not likely to read author again-don’t read.
⭐️⭐️=meh, wasn’t great, also didn’t hate it. Will afford author grace (maybe).
⭐️⭐️⭐️=I liked it, it entertained me, I’ll continue to support this author and would recommend their work.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️=loved it, everyone should read it, I’ll likely reread this book again. I can’t wait to inhale every book this author has gifted us with!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️=I have an obsession with this story, and reread it often. I have hero worship for this author and read all their stories.

Dutch is sent to Canada to retrieve Iris from the family who kidnapped her as child. Iris grew up very privileged with a mother who always wanted her to be perfect and a father who only intervened when things went too far. When Dutch gets on the property, he saves Iris from being assaulted then kidnaps her. On their trip back to Europe, Iris and Dutch get to know one another and she learns about her past and her family. But the most important thing that happens is her and Dutch falling for each other. They couldn't keep their hands to themselves. Iris falls in love with her kidnapper and Dutch finally finds the one thing in life he couldn't live without.
October 20, 2021
I really liked this over the top love story. It was entertaining and enjoyable even with the kidnapping. The characters were interesting and likable for the most part. The “parents” were totally lame and deserved what they got. Dutch “rescued ” Iris but he didn’t stop there. He proceeded to kidnap her much to her consternation. Once they were safely on their way Dutch explained why he kidnapped her. Iris (Anna) wasn’t sure that she believed Dutch but was willing to see what would happen. The plan changed after they received some additional information. I liked their happy ever after. I recommend reading this book.

The story had potential but it won't give the story at all.
Girl is super rich then got kidnapped as a child because she is an heiress.
The kidnapper parents raised her to get their hands on her money when she gets of age.
Real parents hired a killer to find her.
Killer kidnapped her again to bring her to real parents.
During their travel to real parents, they had sex and fell in love.
After the girl gets her hands on her money, killer and girl get married then went to Paris for honeymoon.
Girl and real parents never met in the book.
This writer is getting worse on her books.

Say You're Mine by Alexa Riley is a quick read.
Dutch has been hired to bring Iris back to her family from her captors. The issues are long but first it's that Iris didn't know she had been kidnapped as a child. The second is that Dutch is drawn to this girl and her beautiful eyes.
This is a quick read that gets so dirty. It's amazing!!
I love an Alexa Riley book because it's a one sitting, quick esape.

Iris se despertó una mañana pensando que sabía exactamente
cómo iba a ser su día. Pero ser secuestrada y sacada de
contrabando del país no formaba parte del plan.
Ahora ella y el musculoso mercenario están confinados en un tren con una cama solo lo suficientemente grande para uno.
Dutch fue contratado para hacer un trabajo, pero las cosas se
complicaron. Un comentario descarado le ha hecho caer de
rodillas, y ahora está dispuesto a hacerla suya.

Some daddy books I can enjoy if it’s not too ott. It’s not my thing but if the rest of the book is good then it doesn’t necessarily ruin the book completely. But this book wasn’t that good and the daddy stuff had a child like tilt to it that totally skeeves me out. I read the whole thing which is why I didn’t give it 1 star.
June 22, 2021
Iris is kidnapped by Dutch, but he claims that she’s already been kidnapped and he’s just returning her. What’s a young girl to do with an older, six foot eight hulk of handsomeness who likes to be in charge? Plenty.
June 23, 2021
Again, Alexa Riley delivers a perfectly acceptable novel. The characters are interesting but I would have loved a little more. The story was interesting but I wish there was more
Overall I just miss the old Alexa Riley
Not a bad read

The plot could have been planned out more because some things didn't really wrap up to me. As for the smut, it was steamy as hell! What you would expect from Alexa Riley with some daddy kink sprinkled in.
