➳Alexa Riley never changes for the bad... they only change for the good in a way that is just marvelously UNEXPECTED...






➳And this basically describes this short novel, that makes you turn heads left and right, up and down, making you question what is life...





➳No more needed to be said... ;)

IT'S LIVE

**ARC RECEIVED IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW **

I have to admit, I was curious about how they were going to make this work and still be safe and they did In true Alexa Riley fashion it was OTT, steamy and safe. I loved Shep's possessive caveman behavior.

- no cheating
- no ow/om drama whatsoever
- no pushing away
- no violence
- just ok epilogue - it was 2 years and 10 years later but didn't give us much in reference to their lives

2.5*


I do have a weakness for Alexa Riley books just not this one.

I know it’s all about the sex, the insta-love, OTT alpha male and I’m fine with that. I also know the story is just a means to an end and not to be taken seriously, so two virgins meeting at a sex club orgy is fine. Totally crazy but fine.

Yes the sex was hot, it’s always hot but apart from that this didn’t really work for me, I was struggling anyway and then he said.

“....I just filled this sweet little pussy up with my baby gravy...”

OMG NO please just no, not baby gravy.

I normally enjoy Alexa Riley’s work but this one just missed the mark for me. I guess the real issue for me is that lately all her books feel the same. Hopefully the next one will have more substance and character development…

Well, damn!! That was hot, quick, and dirty! If you're familiar with Alexa Riley, you know the drill. An OTT alpha male claims his woman in the sexiest way imaginable. Well this book ramps up the sex appeal a few notches.

Here's the breakdown: Two virgins walk into a sex club, at the insistence of their friends. Their eyes meet across the room and the attraction is immediate. They can't deny the pull.

What I loved: This was a super quick read. I really enjoyed both main characters, Ivy and Shep. They're sweet and wholesome....for a little while anyway. Shep in particular was spectacular. This would have easily been a 5 star rating had he not been a virgin. I struggled with the fact a virgin would be so self-assured and domineering in the bedroom. I might be wrong, but I didn't buy it. Other than that, this is Alexa Riley Gold!!

"4 Stars"

This was a NOT so "Unexpected" hot short story! Because AR wrote it, so most of the time is a guarantee that your ovaries are going to explode from the hotness that's happening in her books!

This sounded a hot ONE and it definitely was pretty steamy!!!

The cover is pretty hot as well!

The story's about Shepard and Ivy.

I'm not into this kind of story, going to a sex club and it's orgy night. I didn't even know how Alexa Riley will make it work for me but they did. It's safe, it's dirty and it's so hot. I loved that even if there's a lot going on around them, no one touched them or really tried to do anything. It's just all about them wanting each other and they can't get enough of each other.

It has epilogues but I want more.

Hot damn! What took me so long to read this one? This is 53 pages of pure sex and they even throw in a swoony hero. If you love the dirtier side of Alexa Riley, then pick this one up in case you haven't read it!!!!

OTT smut only Alexa Riley can provide!

Hahaha baby gravy.
Another good palate cleanser. If you’re looking for OTT smut, then this is it.
I hate to admit I’m actually starting to enjoy these.
Entertaining to say the very least.

Sexy short

When I'm in the mood for a sexy short story I know I can always find a good one for. Alexander Riley. This one is of two virgins going into a sex club. Insta-love and no cheating or OM/OW.

Sin duda esta es una de las historias que más he disfrutado de las autoras, tiene su toque de peligro, prohibido y romance. Algo que suelo disfrutar mucho.

X on the cover? Im expecting a lot of dirty goodies from here! Not big into double V card but I'll read anything by AR! GIMME!

"Unexpected Claim" is the story of Ivy and Shephard.
Basically, two virgins walk into a BDSM sex orgy, and zero walk out.
This was short, and suffered from virgin-pornstar phenomena- also since Im totally not a fan of virgin heroes, this wasnt my favorite tbh.
Sweet epilogues as expected. For me, the cover was way hotter than the book.
Safe
2/5

I liked this one don't get me wrong, but I'm noticing a disturbing pattern with the young virgin girls just turning 18 and a significantly older man. Sometimes the descriptions as well almost seem paedophilic and predatory. I get the allure with the naivety of a young woman and an alpha male, but something in the repetitive story telling is coming to the point of creepy if you start to notice the patterns like all the girls pretty much become home makers and baby breeders.

RANTS AND SPOILERS-ish AHEAD

Did I accidentally download a sampler with an epilogue? I'm pretty sure I got the whole book, but all I experienced by reading this seemed like a preview to an actual Alexa Riley book.

I admit the characters were cute and it was hot for like a few minutes and that was it. And, guess what? We get another overused epilogue wherein the girl was now pregnant/already gave birth and was pregnant again!

The best thing about this book besides the adorably innocent protagonists? The guy's not that talkative unlike every other AR book-boyfriend!

Overall, although this book didn't make me cringe, I was still disappointed by its lack of the real AR smut.

Look what I dove into tonight..



That was hot, sexy and satisfying. I won't lie when this possible story idea was brought up I was super nervous. If you know me I'm particularly picky about the books I'm interested in. I need a possessive hero. I want him to absolutely be almost cave man when it comes to others seeing, touching, even smelling his woman. I also don't want him even close to another woman. I want my heroine to only be interested in sex with him and vice versa. So an orgy?

Yea I was nervous and confused at how this could ever work. I'd want him to not want eyes on her at all.
While it didn't go exactly as I wanted it still settled my fears for the most part. I wished they left earlier but it was Hot and still so sexy and good.

Loved the epilogues too.

4,5 stars from me!!

I always enjoy reading AR stories... this one wasn't the exception. It was fast, sweet and very steamy.

Shephard and Ivy were very lovely characters and guess what???? There are both virgins in a sex club that made the story even sweeter and hotter! If you are a fan then you know what you gonna get... a possessive, caveman hero and an innocent yet sassy woman!!

What's more to ask?? In addition, it has two epilogs, so of course, I definitely recommend it and I can't wait to read their next amazing story!!

A new Yummy treat that should really get you in the mood...
This treat is a meeting of two virgins in a sex club. Each brought by their friends. Instant eyes locking and sexual attraction. Let the meeting of two hot horny people begin.
This is another great quick read of down and dirty sex with a HEA.

Wooooowwwwww, just f*cking wow. I kept trying to click the 5 star repeatedly....you know, to see if they added up...damn it, they didn’t....lmao. I floved this book so much....just absolutely delicious. I don’t even know what to say (I know, I know...that’s a first *winks*).

Ivy and Shephard, both get dragged by their friends to a sex club. They are both virgins (yeah, you read that right) and their friends are trying to “help” them get out there. Shephard sees her and doesn’t mess around with getting her. And of course she’s just as hot for him....all six five of him *licks lips*. Here’s his first words to her.....
“Eyes on me.” His low timber rolls across my skin and causes a warm chill to hit me right between my legs. “Only me. You don’t look at other men.”
“Holy shit,” I hear Reba gasp.
Big hands cup my face, drawing my eyes up to his.
“If you came here to play tonight, I’ll be the only one you play with,” the man says, staking his claim on me. “I’m Shephard. Now tell me your name.”
“Ivy,” I whisper, proud of myself for being able to remember it.
“Of course you are,” he says, brushing his thumb along my jaw. “And just like the vine, you’re going to cover me until there’s nothing left. Aren’t you?”
“Yes,” I answer, barely audible over the noise of the room." .....ddaayyuuummm, that so happened....hotter than hell. And in case you’re wondering...I so called double ass dibs on this one....I read him first. Love me some Shephard.

This is definitely one of the top 3 hottest Alexa Riley books...I could name my other two, but if you’re already a fan then you know which two. Oh, we get a new phrase in this book....baby gravy...lol, love it. We get 2 epilogues, which equals a great HEA. I just floved this book. Psst....I would recommend having a fan on or maybe reading this in the snow....you’re welcome😉. Oh, before I forget...I also really liked the Dedication🙂.
