Alexa riley always my safe place to go when I need more romance and it always amaze me and never failed me. Never ever failed me.... It's not a long story but it was enough for me to feel more romance 💙💙💙💙

And what i like most about this story is that the heroine is a gamer just like myself 😂😂😂

No unnecessary childish drama... And the story is well written, I LOVE ALEXA RILEY'S BOOK SO MUCH YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

I AM OBSESSED.




‼️‼️‼️SAFE ROMANTIC SWEET LOVE STORY.

‼️‼️‼️TRIGGER: Death and violence.

‼️‼️‼️NO CHEATING AND NO SEPARATION

‼️‼️‼️LOVE IN FIRST SIGHT.

“She looked like something out of a dream, and I never wanted to wake up.”

“I’ve been dodging his handsome ass since I laid eyes on him.”

And when the hero saw her for the first time, he really chase her down to her university 😏😏😏 Damn that's my favorite part! I love it when a hero do that like chase the heroine after meeting her for the first time😍 and this is not because the heroine told him to, the hero do it for himself cause that's how much he wanted her😍😍😍


‼️‼️‼️THE HERO IS OVER THE TOP POSSESSIVE PROTECTIVE BILLIONAIRE ALPHA MALE.

Idk if the hero is a manwhor3 or not but it looks like he is not and many times alexa riley's heroes is not a manwhor3 though...

‼️‼️‼️THE HERO WANTS THE HEROINE SOOOO BADLY....

‼️‼️‼️NO PAST PARTNER EVER MENTIONED OR EVER SHOWS UP.

‼️‼️‼️NO DRAMA WITH OW. ONLY WITH OM BUT NOT TOO ANNOYING AND NOT TOO MUCH...

‼️‼️‼️THE HEROINE IS A TALENTED BADASS SMART BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. She is adorable to and for the hero. And even though she's beautiful, she's doesn't even realize it. And even though growing up it was hard for her, she doesn't bring that to her relationship with the hero...

‼️‼️‼️THE HEROINE IS A VIRGIN.

‼️‼️‼️GREAT CHEMISTRY

‼️‼️‼️MANY JEALOUS SCENES FROM THE HERO and very little from the heroine...

“Overlord : Take your top off!

“What the fuck?” Rage like I’ve never felt flows through me, and suddenly I want to burn the Internet to the ground.”

“Then the chat goes crazy with all kinds of comments, some disgusting and some offering money to go private now. Who are all these fucking assholes?”

“And I wonder if she’s ever bought a guy here before. The thought makes me so fucking jealous I clench my fists around the snack bag a little tighter.”

“I see a guy sit down next to her. She looks surprised when he takes a seat, but then she smiles at him. Okay, so obviously this guy has to die, because all of her smiles belong to me. Does that sound crazy, even having that thought? Sure. Do I give a fuck? Absolutely not.”


‼️‼️‼️NO PUSHING AWAY

‼️‼️‼️VERY HOT SMUT SCENES 😍😍😍😍

‼️‼️‼️HAPPY ENDING.

Got married and have babies😍😍









👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽Thank you so much for reading my review❤️❤️ For you who loves my review and follow it, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I did not get paid or be told to do a review on a book. I’m here just to write review about a book so i can remember it. Its my honest opinion😚 I didn’t know at first people will find me and follow me and trust me to be honest, I was surprised myself to look at the notifications from people who reach out to me😆 So everything i write down here on a review is based on my personal opinion and based on my true writing. I DID NOT COPY SOMEONE’S REVIEW OR WRITING SKILL because at first when i was using this app for one year i didn’t know how to scroll down on a book and see the reviews from others😂😅🤣 I know, silly me but hey I finally learned my lesson 😛😛😛 Thats why when people assume i copy someone’s review i was like what? Because at first i didn’t know how to use this app properly and i didn’t know how to open someone’s review because for a year i never follow someone or add friends or someone😂😂😂🤣 (I’m laughing so hard) 🤪 AND I NEVER COPY SOMEONE’S REVIEW EVER. IF I WRITE SOMETHING WRONG OR DOESN’T MAKE SENSE PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND BE NICE OKAY. 👈🏽👈🏽👈🏽✋🏽✋🏽


I have a disclaimer down bellow if you have negative thoughts about my review😙😙😙



🌐🌐🌐➡️↘️⬇️➡️This is my own personal thoughts and opinion about the book so if thats not sit right with you or you feel I’m not being fair blablabla, please know that everybody in this world have their own different things that they like and don’t like. It may not be the same thing with you but thats okay because i am my own person and you cannot control me or tell me what to do. For example; i put ketchup (tomato sauce) on my fried chicken. You think that’s disgusting? For me its not and i’ve been eating it like that for many many years. You tell me to put another sauce and see if i like that better? I already did many many times in years but i still like the way i like it. It’s called differences between me and you and billions people in this world😊 be open minded😙 I respect people’s opinions about my opinions but in the end of the day if i say I don’t like it or i do like it, its up to me and its on me. And in the end of the day i always liked and show my respect to books and people’s opinions on books whenever that book is good or not good in my opinion 😊 Respect people’s opinions guys😙😙 I don’t want to write this down because its not really my thing to do it. To like address something like this when obviously i know the people who’s been reading my reviews many times and all the time, they are smart enough to understand and respect other people’s opinions no matter what their opinions on book or their point of view 😙😙 am i right? 💕 also there are people even though i already write “this book is different because i have my own taste of book” those people still comment my taste is this and that when HELLO… everybody have their own thoughts on books and what they want to read… why i read it then? I read it and give it a review because i have to read a book to give it a review… why not read the description book to understand before I’m going to read it? Hello just in case you haven’t notice, description books can be tricky because they write this amazing things about a book but turns out the story is so toxic. Maybe for me its toxic but not for you? YES HELLO THATS WHY US HUMAN BEING HAVE OUR DIFFERENCES, WHAT I LIKE IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU WILL LIKE IT AND EITHER WAY TOO. why i still write the review then if i just don’t like a book? Because I CAN and i want to, you cannot tell me what to do and not what to do🤪 if you still wants to be negative and be karens about my review on book after all of what i just write, i will never acknowledge you and simply ignore you because its not that hard🙏 I won’t respond to negativity comments🙏🏼🙏🏼 DON’T ASK ME AGAIN ABOUT WHY NOT RESPONDING TO YOUR NEGATIVE COMMENTS BECAUSE I ALREADY SAY IT HERE AND I WON’T BE EXPLAINING AGAIN BECAUSE WE’RE NOT CHILDREN SO ITS NOT HARD FOR YOU AN ADULT TO UNDERSTAND😌😌 YES MY REVIEW IS LONG BUT YOU READ IT ANYWAY AND ITS FINE ACTUALLY I CAN WRITE AS LONG AS I LIKE😎 YES MY GRAMMAR IS BAD SOMETIMES AND MAYBE ALL THE TIME BUT LUCKILY MANY PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT I’M SAYING🤪 ⬅️↖️↕️⬅️↩️⤴️

"Teasing the Best Man" is the story of Lexi and Asher.

She's the gamer girl in desperate need of money..
He the rich man smitten with her..
After bribing his way into her life, he slowly manages to unearth their daddy kink and win her heart! I would have rated this higher if they did not - also having that scene in an AR book totally shook me!

Safe
3.5/5

A little part of me can't help but cringe whenever books use super modern references or include gaming- I think I have ptsd from some other books that I've read. It's actually a problem and I genuinely can't help it 💀💀 so in that regard, I was a bit icked out.

But aside from that I really enjoyed the romance aspect of the book 🧍‍♀️.

I love 💕 Alexa Riley, whenever a new novella comes out she never disappoints.

I can always reread her novellas over and over again. And it’s always like it’s the first time.💋

***TRIGGER WARNING: Very brief moment of sexual harassment and threatened sexual violence by a college administrator. Heroine stops him with self-defense, and that's quickly followed by the Hero coming to take out the trash. 💅 ***

I hate to say it this way, but this was pretty damn good for an Alexa Riley book. Not all of their books are bad or disappointing, but there have been quite a few that felt very messy or ungrounded, if that makes sense. And I've been coming across more and more of those types by AR in the past year, so it's become a little surprising to come across a good one like this.

I really enjoyed the MCs and how they interacted, especially when the heroine didn't know who her secret admirer was. And their shared kink of payment for sexual acts was done SO well because it felt personal and very intimate. They went from small things like him asking her to wear a sweater while she was gaming on camera, to him going down on her, and so on. Personally, that's not my thing in a romance book, but it was very tastefully done and it fit with the plotline.

Why does it make me even harder when I give her money?

This book was dedicated to women in gaming and I'm one of them so I was excited for this novella.

So after reading it all that mattered was - if Asher could pay Lexi $500 for a phone number, a $100 for every question Lexi answered and another $500 for wearing a sweater, would anyone be willing to do the same? I promise to not change my number ever.

Lexi meets Asher at her best friend's wedding, he's the best man and she's the maid of honor. They are both immediately attracted to each other but, Lexi keeps her distance from Asher. I liked that Lexi was a gamer but I hated that every time she went online the men on there were just nasty with the stuff they said to her. Asher finds her online and starts messaging her as just another gamer. But he also finds her in real life and starts a relationship with her then. I hated hat she was calling him daddy, why? I'm not a fan of the daddy kink but Lexi and Asher loved it a lot. The story overall was OK, I did like some parts but a lot of it was a big no.

Pretty terrible for an older Alexa Riley one. Was more of a smutty connection between the two and almost no romance. Also didn’t appreciate H’s inner monologue of wondering if the reason why this particular woman ( the h) caught his attention was just because he needed to fuck her out of his system. The gets her number and details just to “fuck her out of his system”

Virgin x Former Manwhore (celibate a little while)
Daddy x lg kink
No OW
Fake OM drama with him pretending to be someone else
Almost Assault
No cheating/ sharing
HEA

1/5 The best friend’s story is much better. This one was just a fuckboy needing to capture his shiny new conquest.

Asher and Lexi were so flippin adorable.

Asher was naturally hilarious. From the girly username on accident to taking Lexi to COSTCO. I need an Asher in my life. They had a lot of fun together and it made the smutty scenes so much better.

I wish this is how I felt when reading, Teach Me, but the mmc in that was mean and cold a lot of the time, especially when it came to the, "bought it, now it's mine," play. Asher was always respectful and anytime he said anything remotely connected to the paying for sex kink they shared, it was never cold and he never said it in anger. Asher is a hot and very safe mmc.

I’m Calling You Daddy

Baby!!!! It’s always going to be the Daddy kink for me! Literally if there is a Daddy kink I’m almost already at 5 stars. Alexa Riley is always a hit for me but when they incorporate their tried and true formula of crazy insta love, super spicey dirty talking alphas and a Daddy kink, I’m all in! The only reason I took a star off is because I actually wanted this book to be just a little longer. I wanted more. But for what they gave me 4 smutty stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really wanted to rate this more because I loved that we finally had a heroine who didn’t refuse money but wasn’t gold digger either. i’m always so confused when female characters are struggling but refuse gifts from billionaires. Would’ve rated this four or even five stars if I wasn’t annoyed we got conflict in the last pages and it didn’t even bite in “the villain”s ass. I love insta love as much as anyone but I also need some more drama or at least to see justice/ karma.

I enjoyed reading this story. I suggest reading ‘Sealed With A Kiss’ before this book. The characters run across both stories. It was love at first sight for him but for her it was scared and overwhelmed at first sight. He goes out of his way, to find her and to spend time together, learning about each other. When she needed him, he was there for her, protecting her and caring for her, something that she never had before. That and being himself was what she fell for. Loved the epilogue!

It's all well and good but what's the point of making the FMC a virgin, if it adds literally nothing to the plot... What's the reason? To make the MMC appear even more shallow because we all know he wouldn't like her the same if she wasn't a twenty-something virgin?
As always, I enjoyed AR book. They're almost always worth money and time.
