New York Times and #1 ebook bestselling author Alexa Riley returns with Hold Tight, the next novella in the For You series
A hotshot consultant hired to streamline Osbourne Corp. meets his match in Pandora Justice—the more she plays hard to get, the more he wants her.
They say that like recognizes like, and the day I looked into her deep blues, I met my other half.
Pandora Justice took over as head of security at Osbourne Corp. after her father's retirement. Eighty-hour workweeks are normal; being brushed up against by hot consultants with ridiculous names is not. And she doesn't like it. Not even one bit.
It's amazing how easily she can lie to herself.
I had to have her. Plain and simple.
The first time Pandora sees Royce in the ring—all tattoos and sinew, covered in sweat—he looks at her like he's just won more than the fight. Like he won her.
I won't play games with her. I'll wait, and it will kill me, but I'll do it for her.
Royce's cocky grin with deep dimples makes Pandora melt. Once she wanted to smack that look off his face—now all she wants to do is kiss it. For the rest of her life.
The thought of spending the rest of my life with Pandora warms the place in my chest I didn't think was alive. I've put my claim on her—she's the one, and I'm done. It's that simple.
Hold Tight by Alexa Riley is exactly what you expect from Alexa Riley! Pandora takes after her parents and runs security for her cousin Henry’s company, the Osborne Corporation. Her sister Penelope is now happily married and popping out babies. But Pandora is married to her work. Until Royce.
Royce is a consultant for the Osborne Co. He knows Pandora is his one and only the moment he meets her. But, like her mom, she is a skittish kitten that Royce must tame first. He is totally up for the challenge!
The AR recipe in full force: virgin, claiming, instant love, fast marriage, babies. If it ain’t broke… 🙂

Hold Tight
LOL, don’t fix it? I tried reading one AR book and it just wasn’t for me but I keep reading your reviews for them and wanting to try another one. Which one do you recommend I try?
AR isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I really like some of the books. My favorite is Shielding Lily. I also really like the Fairytale Shifters (I love PNR).
I’ve just recently discovered AR and have read a couple by her, I could pick them apart for days and point out all the ludicrous OTT tropes but the fact is, you’re not reading them for a great literary experience. LOL They are pure trashy fun and when you’re in the mood for that they’re perfect. 🙂
