I’ve always been a huge fan of Alexa Riley and her hot, steamy, instant love short stories and the long ones too 😉 and again I wasn’t disappointed by reading her latest, “Pretty Girl”. This was an amazing story, at least for me because it portrayed how you can have it all; the fame, the money, the people around you that act as though they’re truly your friends but aren’t, and at the end, you’ll feel all alone and that’s how Mila felt. Sometimes, you can’t even count on your own family because they’re the first that take advantage of you.
This was definitely the case for the young supermodel, Mila, since she was discovered when she was only 5 years old. She’s always been in the spotlight after that and now that’s brought on some problems with crazed fans and a stalker but it also brought Jax, her bodyguard, who at first when they met, she didn’t exactly know he was her bodyguard but I can’t everything for you so go read this 🙂
Anyways, he’s her Jax, her bodyguard, her protector, the love of her life, her everything, her forever <3 And for Jax, she's everything light, sweet, beautiful and good in the world and he's willing to do anything to protect her from anything who dares to go after what's his and Mila is his future, the woman he sees having a home with, a family, a forever, so you know what that means... the ultimate caveman alpha male willing to kill to protect his mate and that's exactly the case here.
You know, it's funny how life works, sometimes bad things have to happen for good things to appear in your life afterwards... In this case, it's what happened here with Jax and Mila, fate brought these two soulmates together and gave them their happily ever after and all caused by a creepy stalker.
These two, especially Mila, must go through some things/obstacles to reach their happy ending, that's including finding out who the stalker is and when you guys read this and find out who it actually was, it will shock you but I can't spoil it for you peeps, but I can still give you a small hint on who that person was; he was in the same kind of industry as Mila...
I also loved Jax's character so much 🙂 He's my kind of OTT alpha male who would do anything and I mean anything for his woman, including putting his life before hers to save her from any harm and would even confront death for his Mila.
He was so gentle and caring and at the same time dominant, alpha male with HOT passion 😉
He was a big, tall, muscular teddy bear with his Mila, but only her. No one else got his soft side so don't get on his bad side, just saying 😉
When Jax saw that Mila was being neglected in her health like eating and sleeping, he took over and took care of her 🙂 Then he started taking care of her other needs too 😉 I also liked how he knew how Mila was a sweet, innocent and tender soul that needed protecting and was determined to be the one to protect and shield her from all the ugliness and evil in the world. He was her shield, her protector of her soul and I loved his devotion to her <3
I loved the epilogues too 🙂 Alexa Riley always writes awesome epilogues and she always gives us more than one to see into each stories' couples' future and see them live happily ever after and Jax & his Mila and the beautiful family they've created together did exactly that... live happily ever after <3 <3
I actually adore this story. It is very entertaining and enjoyable. The characters are interesting and enjoyable. I totally want to keep Jax as my new book boyfriend. He was protective and possessive and just wonderful. Jax was all-in immediately. Mila was sweet but possessive of Jax too. She was all-in as well. When they both figured out that they were both all-in there were fireworks! I loved their happy ever after and I recommend reading this book!
It’s Alexa Riley: do you really need me to say anything else at this point?
Didn’t think so.
It’s hot, filthy and sweet.
Get in there! Jax’s gonna take good care of you.
You’re welcome.
I feel this book had a bit more than some of their other books and I really liked it! Jax is sent in to be Mila’s new bodyguard. From the second they see one another it’s game over for both. Definitely want to read their story and see how it all plays out!
Yes! Pretty Girl is classic AR and I gobbled it up. What is it about bodyguard turned lover that just sucks me in every time?
Jax was just extra yummy. Full on protective mode. Bossy, loving, caring and full of jealousy. I couldn’t get enough of him. Their chemistry was off the charts. He growls, she smirks. It’s so over the top and cheesy and it’s everything we expect from AR.
If you like the bodyguard romance stories chalked full with AR musts like a virgin, an alpha, a whole lot of love, and a lot of sexy heat then Pretty Girl will be right up your ally.
