"Blackmailing the Virgin" Review

 I compare finally getting my hands on the new Alexa Riley book to coming downstairs on Christmas morning. The waiting is the hardest part. Lucky for us, her releases come early a lot of the time. Which is pretty much the only example of a time when I don't mind something coming early. Like usual when her books come out I stop whatever I'm doing in order to fall back into her alpha-sex crazed web. "Blackmailing the Virgin" was of course no exception. The second book in the An Alexa Riley Promise series, following April's release of "Mr. and Mrs". And in true Ms. Riley fashion, no cheating and always a happy ending. 

This story follows a young musician named Felicity who falls insta-hard for Calder Cox, who just happens to be her fathers business partner. Mr. Cox is everything we could want in an Alpha man: obsessed, dominant and did I mention sexy as sin? The thing I like most about Alexa's books is the insta-love that the main characters share. They are committed to each other and share a deep connection, even if admitting it takes a little longer. The NO CHEATING rule is a big one for me. In a lot of the other books I read the alpha man professes undying love for the heroine, but ends up sleeping with another woman. I think to myself, how can that be if he LOVES her? In this story and her others we don't have to worry about all of that. 

I also love how this series is a throw back to the romance novels of yesteryear. Complete with the cheesy over-the-top tropes that one would come to expect in your momma's romance novels. I feel a sense of nostalgia when reading this series that I only ever remember from when I was younger and wanted to know what my momma found so interesting in all of the books she was always reading. This second installment in the series hits the nail on the head for me. I loved it from start to finish and my only complaint would be that it was over before I knew it. I do love a good blackmail story! 

Never fear though ladies, and maybe some gentleman, I have it on good authority that Alexa has another release this month. "Finding Snow" comes out on May 25th, 2016. Pack your winter gear cause we're heading back to Gray Ridge to find us a bear! Get up to speed now by reading the first three books.
