Stay Close is a novella that gives you what you expect from Alexa Riley: short, sappy, instant love! If you don't like that kind of thing, this isn't the book for you. But, if you are like me, you gobble up AR books and you will love this! Penelope is the daughter of Ryan and Paige from His Alone. She has a twin sister, Pandora, that she is very close to as well. She has grown up seeing the love between her parents and she can't wait to have that kind of affection. She is the kind, caring sister. She is soft and thoughtful where Pandora is a bit more like her mom! Penelope is 18 and finishing her last year of high school when her parents bring Ivan in to be her new guard. Its love at first sight! Ivan had a tough childhood and feels that he isn't deserving of Penelope. But, he loves her and goes all alpha! These two have a super fast courtship and their relationship moves at light speed. There is no hidden danger or threat in this story; the entire plot is around the development of the relationship between Penelope and Ivan. Short, sweet, and over the top have become the keystone of Alexa Riley and Stay Close is no different! It was neat to see the kids of characters I loved in the past, and am looking forward to Pandora and (hopefully) Henry's books as well!

New York Times and #1 eBook bestselling author Alexa Riley returns with Stay Close, the first novella in a brand-new series spinning off from the bestselling For Her books. A former Russian mafia soldier is hired to protect a friends young daughter, but he knows he'll do more than keep her safe hell make her his. Forever. If she were to simply whisper my name, I would be at her feet, begging to touch what I shouldn't, taste what doesn't belong to me, run my hands along the sweet innocence she taunts me with. Penelope Justice is eighteen, old enough to graduate high school but according to her parents not old enough to live without 24/7 security. Practice has made her an expert at ditching her bodyguards. One look at Ivan and she never wants to run again. I've been hired to protect her. I can't help but think that perhaps someone should have protected her from me. Ivan steals the breath right out of her lungs, something no boy has ever done. Then again, he's far from a boy. This man, this man who looks like he could kill someone with the flick of a wrist, is everything. He is her future. I can't let her go and I won't give her up. I've done bad things in my life, and I don't deserve her. But I can't do the honorable thing. I've never been noble, and I'm not starting now. This title is part of the Carina Press Romance Promise: all the romance you're looking for with an HEA/HFN. It's a promise! No library descriptions found. |

I was disappointed with this one.
I am not sure if it is because I expected it to be like the For Her series as it is a spin off of sorts being about Paige's daughter.
It is very insta-love, which is fine but I think as the previous series had a bit more 'meat' to it I was expecting a bit more plot.
It's more like a novella and the price didn't really reflect that. So sorry but not for me this time. ( )
