Title: The Lost Slipper
Author: Alexa Riley
Release Date: January 4, 2016
Rating: ★★★★ 1/2 Stars (Rounded to 5* for Goodreads and Amazon)
Reviewer: Melyssa
If Alexa Riley wrote it, it’s a
guaranteed no brainer that I’m going to end up reading it and after reading the
second book in this series, I was definitely invested in what was coming for
Stone and Winnie.
This one, while having a lot of the same
elements of the last book; it involving an alpha and a virgin younger female
who only have eyes for one another, it also read a little different.
Where X in the last book was definitely
an alpha in every way imaginable, Stone came across a little softer at times.
He was still an alpha and still had moments where he proved his dominance as
such, but when it was a whole different ballgame when it came to Winnie. I
enjoyed the way he gave her time to come to terms with what was happening. I
may have swooned a little over just how slow he was willing to go with her even
though it wasn’t the natural alpha way of being.
I just played enjoyed seeing this softer
almost beta male version of him. The one that mixed well with the alpha side
giving the best of both worlds.
Winnie, I felt bad for her. For the
horrors she had to live through with her evil step sisters and mother and for
how she came to end up where she was. It broke my heart. I wanted her out of
there and I wanted those people dealt with. I didn’t exactly get the payoff I
was after in terms of those family members, but what I did get was her
realizing her importance and standing up for herself and honestly, that was
enough.
My only complaint about this story was
the level of pushing away/running Winnie did in the beginning. While to an extent
I did understand it, it still frustrated me. But that’s more me wanting the two
of them together instead of apart and less about the way it was written so it
didn’t change my feelings overall on this story.
Much like I’ve come to expect with an
Alexa Riley read, this one was steamy just as much as it was sweet and the
level of devotion her male characters always have will always keep me coming
back for more.
This was a fantastic addition to the series
and a great read. If you’re a fan of the author, if you like the older man
younger woman vibe, or you’re a fan of alpha males and the women they’re
hopelessly devoted to right from page one, you’ll enjoy this.
My thanks to the author and all others
involved in letting me read this before release.
I'm Alexa Riley! Mom, wife, and business
woman by day and smut writer by night. I specialize in the Dirty Date Night
reading. I wrote my first book, Owning Her Innocence, because well, I just
couldn't find any daddy books to my liking. So I sat down and just started
writing, bringing the fantasies I find myself often dancing to in the dark of
night to life, one page at a time.
Alexa Riley is my alter ego. I can't let the
other soccer moms know what I'm up to or the guys at work for that matter.
Little do they know that they've got nothing on my dirty talk.
I'm here to give you a quick fix of filthy
dirty smut. Got a few hours to kill? Then I'm what you're looking for.
