Imagine Prince Filipe running across the lawn naked in the middle of the night , while his mother-in-law watches through CCTV camera.








💙Dual-virgins.
💚No OW/OM drama.

⏺I can't believe he REALLY took her v-card and gave his BEFORE the wedding. It's all good tho , he is in it for the long haul.



🥺🥺The next book in the series will be EVEN BETTER! CANNOT WAIT!!!!

"Arranging My Bride" is the story of Amelia and Felipe.

The heroine is promised to the hero, something she wants to rebel against as she thinks he is a playboy. He, however has always loved her. When they meet at a masked ball, and passions ignite, will revealing their true identity bring conflict?

Sweet, sexy and enjoyable.

If she lets me in her room tonight and I eat her pussy, what else will she let me do? Could I sneak some more cum into her, so that she has no chance of running?

AR said they wrote royally approved arranged marriage but in all honesty it's more like prince and princess dirty talk with lots of breeding.

4.75 SMUTASTIC-scale Stars!

Amelia knows one day she will enter into an arranged marriage and has cast aside all notions of romance. Felipe knows he must marry out of duty but when he sets his sights on Amelia, she is the only woman a contract will be written up for.

So Felipe sets his plans in motion for Amelia to be his and only his. But Amelia thinks Felipe is a playboy and before their marriage, she decides to take one night of rebellion for herself. But Felipe is one step ahead of her.

Y’all, this was so smutty and exactly what I wanted to read. This was short with just the right amount of plot to round out the dirty. I can always count on Alexa Riley to give me quick and filthy.

“You didn’t say where you wanted to be kissed. So I picked for you.”
“Oh god,” she gasps as I pull her panties to the side and lick the seam of her pussy lips. 
“And I will make sure to kiss you thoroughly, little kitten.”

Amelia pertenece a una familia rica donde todavía se rigen por matrimonios concertados beneficiosos. Ahora Amelia parece haber llegado a ese momento, ya han encontrado a su marido y no cualquiera no, es el mismo príncipe Felipe quien ha sido considerado un escandaloso Playboy. Hace unos años la vieja Amelia podría haber estado saltando de alegría pero ahora... Lo único que quiere es huir.

Para la españolas o al menos a mí, eso de que el prota sea el príncipe Felipe... Me ha costado no reírme 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Es verdad que los libros de Alexa son falicitos de leer y muy cómodos pero también reconozco que ya no me emocionan ni me llenan como antes aún así siempre vienen bien cuando no te apetece leer nada más porque al final son lo que son historias rápidas, sin drama y con finales ultra felices.

I want a book for Cillian! Is it just me or ; Glenda?!? Felipe's sister and him has something going on even though there was no interaction 👀 or is it just my delulu mind working again :/

Moving on, This would be one of my go to reads if ever I need a breather. Not much of a drama, and some hot smut ( heck yeaah! ) I would rate the smut 7/10 though. :)

Dual Virgins, a short fun read. Completely safe with HEA.

Lordy, this author knows how to make a girl happy. I know not everyone loves an OTT instalove, but I'm a fucking feen for them. They bring be me so much happiness.

I'm currently working through Alexa Riley's backlog, and it is quite a hefty one. I have yet to find one that I don't love, so lets hope that continues!

I really need to dive into her collabs with Jessa Kane, because I know they are going to be everything!

If you read this, Enjoy My Friends….

Matrimonio concertado. Insta-love.

Amelia desde pequeño tuvo el sueño de casarse, pero cuando se hace realidad y le dicen con quién... ya no lo quiere tanto.

Felipe, un príncipe, desde que vio a Amelia, hace dos años, quedó completamente enamorado.

El primer acercamientos entre Amelia y Felipe es bastante surrealista... Amelia ni sabia quien era el hombre detrás de la máscara pero se "entrego" a él. Mientras que ese hombre detrás de la máscara sabía muy bien quién era ella, su prometida.

El libro de por si entretiene, pero de ahi... no pasa a más.

Amelia and Felipe were a fun pair as they admitted their feelings and let their happily ever after flow naturally. The possessives of Felipe and the snarkiness of Amelia put them head to head for the majority of the book until Felipe finally came clean. Short and sweet as always.

Es súper corto y tiene escenas bastante hot pero no me convenció del todo la historia, además quedé como wtf con el protagonista masculino en algunas ocaciones (wtf Felipe con el embarazo)

Oh frigging goodness I loved it! It feels like it's been a lifetime since I got a classic AR book from AR. Though the sheer cluelessness and absolute ridiculousness was unreal, it was still charming because fk reality.

But haaaaaah how I wish these ladies actually had written the whole post wedding story instead of pre. And also this book was basically His Princess rewritten but I didn't mind. This was a pretty nice read. Classic AR that I fell hard for in the first place.

Story & content
It could’ve been better. There was potential to the story, yet I feel like there were so many parts missing. It was too short, and it felt like it was just jumping to new scenes all the time, not really able to pick much story up if that makes sense.

⚠️There’s a huge consent problem with this book, and I can’t for the love of me understand how people not realize this.
I’ll give you some examples:

”I…” Her tongue darts out to wet her lips and I clench my jaw. “I want to be kissed.” 
“Is that all?” My finger slowly traces the cups of her dress. 
She nods, and I tilt my head to the side. “Just one kiss?” 
“Yes.” She raises her chin as I bend down, but just before our lips connect, I pause. 
“It would be my pleasure, kitten.” 
I can see the confusion in her eyes as I lower myself to the ground in front of her. 
“What are you doing?” she asks softly as I grab the hem of her dress and begin to bunch it up. 
“Giving you what you asked for.” I smile like the devil she’s just made a deal with. 
“But that’s not—” Her words are cut off when I push her dress up and then lean forward to smell her panty-covered pussy. 
I inhale deeply and fill my lungs with her sweet treat. “You didn’t say where you wanted to be kissed. So I picked for you.”
——————————————————————————————-
”Amelia: I’m engaged. 
Philipe: Engaged isn’t married. Let me have one more taste before you say I do. 
Amelia: This is wrong. 
Philipe: It didn’t feel wrong to me. It felt really fucking right. ”
——————————————————————————————-

”Me: Let me taste you, kitten. I’m so hard for it. Just one more time, I promise. ”
——————————————————————————————-

”I’ll sneak into her room and then tease her until she lets me put some cum in her. Even if she won’t let me fuck her fully, I’ll get it in there. Then maybe if she won’t let me have her pussy, I can try for her ass. ”
———————————————————————————————
There were more occasions where the consent wasn’t even a thing. He touching her without asking if it was okay, being overly obsessive and litteraly thinking of her like she’s a fucking object. He even thought that she was like a slut, even though she’s his future wife. It’s DISGUSTING. An any of you thinking any of this is okay, are litteraly disgusting as well. You need to understand that all of this, is wrong.
Many things are sexuall harrassment and some even border rape. Do better.

Characters & Variations
I thought it was interesting how it was princess and prince like this, and not in a fantasy version. It felt like new territory. Although I will say that there wasn’t much to pick up. I think it’s because the book was so short that it was hard to pick something valid up.

One thing I don’t understand is that the princess doesn’t have any guards? How in the hell is that logical?

(0,25)⭐️Descriptions & Qoutes:
Descriptions were okay, some odd words but what can you expect from basically a wattpad book.

Qoutes:
”I wonder how someone can be on their knees and still have all the power.”
”She seems calmer as she talks about what she loves and part of me wonders if she’ll ever speak of me like that. ”
”You’re far from an ice princess. In fact, in my experience anyone who is trying to hide how they feel typically feels deeper than all the rest.” ”

Did I enjoy it?
No

Would I read it again and recommend it?
Hell no, and what the fuck would I recommend? Possessivness? sexuall assault? Border rape? Disgusting behaviour?

0,25/5 disgusting men.

FYI: The Andora Royalty series (four books total) is best read in order. If read out of order, or by themselves, the reader will get the feeling of being dropped into the middle of a book and be lost.


Arranging My Bride, book 1 of the Andora Royalty series, was about Amelia Flores, the middle child of the three Flores siblings, and Prince Felipe Andora.
Among their peerage it was well-known that arranged marriages were the norm, but Amelia had only ever had a crush on one man. However, the older she got, the more the tabloids pointed to that particular man being more than a bit of a playboy, and that wasn't something she wanted in a husband. She had longed for a marriage like her parents and grandparents had. When she was told she would be marrying her crush, she wasn't happy. She had given up the idea of marrying him because she truly believed what she read about him. However, the sayings were true, that one shouldn't judge a book by its cover, and one should never believe everything one reads.
Felipe had been in love with Amelia for as long as he could remember, even though they had never been formally introduced. However, he remained faithful to her and, when the time was right, he had his father make arrangements for them to marry. Once he realized that Amelia believed the rumors about his reputation, he set out to convince her she was wrong about him
This was a really sweet novel where two people fell in love with the idea of love and eventually turned it into their reality. There was a touch of angst and a slight bit of drama with a hint of intrigue, but for the most part, it was just one spicy moment after another.
I gave it a five-star rating for the romance and spice. Others might not think it was worthy, but it met most of my criteria for a good story, so I stand by my rating.

Me gusto, me gusto, me gusto, me gustoo... sin duda Amelia y Felipe tenían una gran historia que contar y que merecía ser contada, cada momento que pasaban el uno con el otro te hacía suspirar.

Bueno, todo empieza cuando a Amelia, después de años de esperar para ser comprometida, le avisan que su prometido es el príncipe Felipe, el primer crush que ella tuvo. Pero esas emociones se desvanecieron, a causa de los chismes de los tabloides.

Todos creían que Felipe era un playboy, pero es después de una serie de sucesos, en donde aparece un hombre misterioso en la vida de Amelia y claro su prometido, que todo se empieza a aclarar.

Sin duda nuestro hombre misterioso es uno de mis novios literarios a partir de ahora. Bueno, creo que hablar más de está joya... sería spoiler.

¿Alguien noto que este era el libro que va leyendo Evie en el camino hacia la montaña de Connor en A flurry of love? ¿No? Fui la única que lo noto, okey.

Siempre me gusta como Alexa Ryle, logran sacarte al menos una sonrisa con sus libros, son geniales cómo escritoras de romance.

Aveces el clic es real y me encanta que este libro corto lo plasme, aparte de encontrar unas escenas picantes y buenas🔥 ese juego previo fue lo que me mantuvo al hilo para saber que deparaba de este par😍 el que Felipe haya construido su propio imperio dijo mucho del hombre increíble que es y que Amalia haya derretido su corazón por él fue el acto de amor más hermoso que vi, me encanto que acá hayan plasmado las 2 caras del matrimonio uno que es infeliz porque no se puso empeño y el que es dichoso donde abunda el amor porque se fue construyendo granito a granito😍 un libro corto increíble que hace más llevadero el bloqueo lector

Arranging My Bride is the story of Felipe and Amelia.

It’s always been you, double virgins, ice cold Prince to the world and an ice princess with him, a couple of misconceptions that he’s a playboy when he’s never even touched another woman cause trouble between them but he doesn’t stop eating her out claiming to be another person. She feels as if she’s cheating when she kisses another guy other than her intended not knowing that they’re both the same person. It’s both Felipe. Anyways he clears up any misconceptions and they both share their love for each other. HEA and kids. MAN CALLS HER KITTEN AND LOVE😭😭😭😭😭.

Solid 4/5
