I simply adore both Alex and madison,their lovemaking is a sensual delight and their steamy encounters are so friggin hot! The storyline is fabulous and keeps your attention as well. And Alex’s right hand man paco is so interesting as well,I need to know more about his story too! Can’t wait to read more from this series!! It ends more as a continuing story rather then a cliff hanger. Well done Lexxi Jame you have me truly hooked. Until next time luv’s
What a great story. It took me 2hours to finish the book because I want to know Alex’s secret but guess I have to wait for the next book to find out. Lovely characters, beautiful story of love
Access is as mysterious as it is intriguing.
Madison Tyler is supposedly an introvert who hates confrontation, but she can sniff out and seize an opportunity like a seasoned business woman. The contradiction makes her interesting and made me want to read more of her, explore her complicated and somewhat of a paradox personality.
Alex Drake is a man who is clearly haunted by his past, holding deep dark secrets that pulled me in from the first moment.
Their relationship is intriguing as their personality, on the one hand they balance one another perfectly, on the other they throw each other off balance constantly. And their chemistry is off the charts.
Lexxi James spun a tale of suspense between two people very skillfully, weaving in the intricate nature of people and relationships, and she left me craving more.
Very cleverly written, got me hooked fairly quickly and looking for the clues behind what was going on. But for once i have to admit I really don’t know what’s coming next, except for maybe an fairly educated guess that somehow Alex is linked to Madison’s brother. But as to how or why, I have no clue. I’m not sure that Madison should be quite to willing and happy to go along so quickly with Alex’s little “game” with her, however with the chemistry between these two being so sizzling hot, you do quickly accept that they both do not behave in what might be called a normal fashion. Roll on book two !!
Access is steamy, suspenseful and filled with lots of hot, sexy romance. I was sucked into the story of Alex and Madison from the very first page. Alex Drake seems to be someone from Madison’s past. He knows things about her that no-one should know. Things that her father and brother would know. Madison is mystified yet cautious to find out his secrets. Or how he knows so much about her and her life before working at DGI. Madison is clever and is unsure if she can completely let her guard down for this amazing man. That she is starting to fall for.
Lexxi James leaves you wanting to read the rest of the story. This book leaves you hanging in suspense. I’m ready to get sucked into the rest of the story with the next book Exposed.
Awesome first book. Alex is mysterious and intriguing.
Alex Drake captured my interest from the start. He is rich and powerful, confident and charming. He has women falling at his feet so to speak, but at times he is shaky and on the verge of what seems to be a panic attack. He sees Madison Taylor in his office building and thinks she might be the girl he has been searching for.
He has his second in command and all around go-to guy Paco, check into her. Apparently, she is not one of the many “Madison Taylor’s”Paco has researched while trying to find the one specific girl they were searching for. The attraction between Madison and Alex is instant and hot. He goes after her with a drive that he hasn’t ever had to in the past and he sees her as different from the one night stands he has had in the past.
The romance is fast paced and scorching. I loved it. Though he is keeping secrets and she knows it. We will find out more in book 2, but I am loving these characters and the dynamic between them. It doesn’t all make perfect sense how fast it is moving and some of the things she isn’t questioning, but hopefully all will be answered in book 2. I can’t wait.
Wow! I’m impressed! I was reading another book and got this book. Decided to have a look at the first few pages and couldn’t stop. Alex and Madison, boss and employee, mutual attraction aside have history but little does she know.
I really liked the easy-read writing and flow of this book, along with the descriptions that put the reader in the moment. I feel that Lexxi James certainly did her research or maybe it’s life experience, but she writes in a way that easily put me as the reader in the situation, and that’s a gift many authors don’t have. This book is dramatic, mysterious and steamy in all the right ways. Can’t wait to dive into Exposed!
This was an ARC and this is my honest review. Amazing book!
So loving this series so far Alex and Madison have such chemistry… I love that she isn’t impressed by the things he tries to give her. But what is Alex hiding? I just have to find out!!
Madison Taylor had whiskey coffee spilled on her way to an interview causing her to have remove her blouse. Luckily she had a camisole to wear under her blazer. After the interview went downhill she lost her temper and went off on interviewer. Which ended up being how she received the job.
Alex Drake telecommunications billionaire who had a major chink in this armor.. suffers pain attacks and an obsession with the name Taylor. Madison starts receiving gifts and messages from an anonymous person. Her investigation skills are getting her nowhere.
I really enjoyed this book it doesn’t have a drastic cliffhanger, but it is part of a continuing series. I love all the characters and the storyline is amazing. I’m looking forward to seeing if I’m following the clues correctly and I really want to have some Lamborghini fun!
I highly recommend this book and Lexxi James!
Madison was down on her luck. She has worked several minimum wage jobs and decided she needed a change. It wasn’t until she scored an interview with a high quality security firm. Several things go wrong but that still stop her from trying to land this job. Alex is the head CEO of this firm. He sees everything that goes on and once he spotted Madison, he knew she was perfect.
What a fantastic way to start this series. I was hooked from the very beginning. Madison is a spunky, sweet, caring character. Alex…sexy as sin, yet very mysterious. A good combo. Although, it’s a medium burn, it was steamy as hell. These characters have so much chemistry. I love it! This is my first story by Lexxi James. You have Suspense, Steam, Secrets, Obsession, I can’t wait to find out what happens next.
I got this book through an ARC, Advanced Reviewers Copy.
I thought this book was great as a first of the series with, Romance, Intrigue, Heart breaking and heart retaking with the storytelling was on point and terrific and her character built up with Alex and Madison, so on point,
A fun, sexy read by Lexxi James. This book did not disappoint. From the witty banter between Madison and Alex to the steamy love scenes, I could not put this book down. I look forward to reading the second book and seeing where this romance takes them.
I enjoyed Madison and Alex’s story and cannot wait to find out the rest in the next installment. This is not a long book but not super short, either. Once I started it was hard to put it down.
A past?? Alex Drake remembers the past very well and by pure chance she walked into his world hoping for a job. Madison didn’t win over the corporate HR queen, but the boss took control when he watched Madison’s fiery attitude sock it to Gina. Had Alex figured out at that moment that Madison was his past??? Instead of spilling the beans about a past with Madison he decides to “woo” her into a date. It’s apparent that Madison is very sexually attracted to Alex, because after ignoring several presents her anonymously left he finally convinced her to meet after delivering a Starbucks drink. Privately accessible office areas for his and hers pleasure, Alex and Madison begin their hot sexy romance. In just moments (seems like a whirlwind) Madison is finding herself living in the Drake penthouse, complete with items from her past. At first Madison demands to know what is going on, but with a big promise to on turning over the Drake empire in 30 days to Madison is she doesn’t get his honest truth she lets fate make her stay. What will happen in the 30 days??? You want to get my the second book to find out. This author has a way of pulling you in and then a cliff hanger makes you want more.
One of the best books I read this year. A new author to add to my TOP 10 authors.
Alex and Madison’s story is different, full of mystery yet full of confidence and security.
Alex is sexy rich CEO. He is feeling guilty of what happened years ago and has to live with it. Madison is like a breeze of fresh air in his life. She has strong work ethics, she is smart and fearless.
Their world collides when Madison goes to job interview in Alex’s company. He fell in love with Madison at first sight. They have connection she can’t explain. And Alex is keeping secret from her.
Book 1 ends in cliffhanger, so I can’t wait to read book 2.
I loved this book! It is a great start to this series! The storyline was packed with intrigue, suspense, romance, humor, and sexy scenes. The characters were awesome! I loved Madison and Alex, and their steamy chemistry!! I would definitely recommend this book and I will be reading the next book in the series.
This was my first book by this author and from the first page I was drawn into this story. I wasn’t sure how to take Alex at first. He seemed demanding and kinda arrogant but the more I kept reading he changed. Sure he had that arrogance in the bedroom and boy did he know what he was doing in there! Him and Madison have some serious chemistry which shows in and out of the bedroom. I gotta say I loved Madison. Sure she eavesdropped and found a sure thing but she didn’t bow down to anyone. She challenges everyone she meets. She isn’t afraid to stand up for herself and others. I love the spitfire she has and man would I loved to drive that Lambo! lol. Alex is hiding something big and I feel we’re gonna find what it is very soon. This was a great start to the series and I can’t wait to read more from these two!!
With an interesting mix of humour, intrigue, mystery, holy-hotness encounters and fabulous lead characters, Access is a good debut novel. Madison is a captivating leading lady and Alex the epitome of strong, determined alpha, with an interesting touch of sensitivity. Add in the danger, but fun, that surrounds Paco and you have a winner.
I look forward eagerly to the resolution of the mysteries!
i love Madison and Drake …love these two so much ..Drake a workolic and Madison get this job by overhearing a convsersation ..will they be able to make it make or not ..i cant wait to see how these to fair out in the next book . so hurry and get this book you wont regret
Access is the start of what I hope to be a long relationship of book reading with Lexxi James. This book has it all – steam, hot sex, hot billionaire (Alex), regular girl trying to make ends meet (Madison), intrigue, twists, turns, great supporting characters. In all seriousness, I was drawn in to this book from page 1 on. I could not put it down until I finished, and now I am anxiously awaiting reading Exposed, Book 2. Madison and Alex have chemistry that oozes off the page for you. I saw someone say there was no romance, there was just sex. I found it very romantic the thought and time that Alex took into getting the black lacy dress and shoes for her. I would fall over if someone did that for me, (not giving any more details away because you need to read it for yourself). I also love the dynamic of Paco and Alex, and I’m really looking forward to learning more about all of the characters in this 1st book. The 30 days just can’t go by fast enough for me to find out the answers that Madison is waiting on. I have my suspicions, but I may be totally off base.
