ASHLYNIt was supposed to be a vacation. Five whole days on the beach with my best friend before we made the move from Seattle to New York. I never expected to meet a man who would make me change the way I saw love and sex. I’ve always believed you can have one without the other. So, when I hooked up with a one-night stand while on vacation, I never expected him to be standing in the middle of my … middle of my hotel room hours later. Proclaiming to be my best friend’s brother.
It took me two seconds to decide I wanted him for one night. It took me a day to understand that he was gonna want more.
I’ve always believed in love. But I’m selfish. I want more … But can he give it to me? Or when this gets hard, does he walk away?
RYDER
I’m married to my job. I’m twenty-nine and help run a fortune 500 company. I hadn’t seen my sister in four years, and I wanted to surprise her. What better way than on her vacation? What I ended up getting was a woman who knew exactly what she wanted. And for that one night, I was it. I knew that I wanted more. You don’t spend a night with someone like her and let her walk away that easily.
I’ve always had the means to buy anything I want. Too bad, she is priceless.

This story is about Ashlyn her and her friend Becca go on vacation thinking it just the 2 of them until Becca tells her Connor, Becca boyfriend comes along Ash doesn’t like him one bit.
When on Vacation Ash meets a man, and has a one night stand with him thinking she never seen him again. But what she doesn’t suspect is he is Becca’s brother.
Ash isn’t looking for love or a relationship she believes you can have just sex with no strings.
But it doesn’t happen like that she believes she isn’t good enough for Ryder.
I really loved Ryder he was cocky sexy hot alpha and what he wants he gets and he decides he isn’t letting go of Ashlyn.
These two together wow the sexual chemistry is off the charts. The sex scenes are very hot.
But can these two be together. They are from different worlds Ryder has money and loads of it.
I really like Ash she is funny sassy and does stand up for herself.
The secondary Characters are all great too.
I loved this book I cannot wait for the next book after that ending. I really hope other Characters get a book as well would love to read Becca’s story.
Love Ryder. He is a man of many talents. He isn’t afraid to tell you what he’s feeling. Ashlyn is a woman who isn’t sure what to do with her feelings. She has a hard time seeing what she really wants. She is afraid it won’t last. Hey make for one hot couple. Can’t wait to read the next book. A must read.
Loved it! Shantel never disappoints me with her books!!! Loved how tough Ashlynn was and how sweet Ryder was. Very good book and was well written. Can’t wait to see what comes next!
This book was Sooooo good. I cannot believe how it ended. I actually want to cry right now. So many people are hurting and I’m dying to know what happens. This book was so hot. I’m so jealous and wish I was Ashlyn. CAnnot wait for the next book
4.5 Stars
Holy hotness!!!!! This book was packed with sexy, lust filled, epic bedroom scenes (and public ones too). The spark between Ashlyn and Ryder was insane! Both were only looking for a good time but ended up falling so much harder than they’d ever allowed themselves. But can it last? When an old flame enters the picture, everything falls apart between these two and you’re left feeling like you were part of the breakup!
Dare I say maybe there was too much sex in this book? It was like every time Ashlyn and Ryder were in each other’s presence, it ended in banging! Became a little repetitive and expected, but it was always smoldering!
I loved the friendship between Ashlyn and Becca. You could just tell from their interactions that they were sisters by choice. I loved the strength that Ashlyn brought to the table and her free spirit. She was always so positive and sure of herself. It was impossible not to love her character.
Ryder was smart, successful, loyal, hard working, sexy and persistent. He knew what he wanted and he took it. And he wanted more Ashlyn. His feelings developed over the course of the book and I loved seeing his vulnerable side. Every drop of a pet name, every sweet kiss, just made me swoon that much harder.
The ending left me feeling depressed! I didn’t want to see these two fall apart over a misunderstanding. I hope the future books in the series continue A & R’s story!
I thought it was very slow to get started, but once it did I enjoyed Ryder and Ashlyn. I didn’t care for her hot/cold attitude in the beginning, and when she finally started to understand him I was ready to scream hallelujah! She has this thinking that falling in love is a tragedy. I wanted to cry for Ryder and Bradley. They are both in love with her, and it ends with a cliffhanger so… you have to keep reading.
Selfish..
A definition of relationship between Ryder and Ashleigh…no string attached… both souls are searching.. longing but noone wanting to admit it..
From one passionate night.. their relationship grow.. challenges… how can they open their heart when no one wants to say it first? The tap dance.. passionate love.. its beautiful..
Can this alpha Ryder surrender his heart? Only time could tell. 😉 i love it…
Ashlyn isn’t looking for love, but when she hooks up with a sexy stranger while on vacation, who she believes she will never see again, she gets more than she asks for when she finds out he is her best friend Becca’s older brother, who she has never met.
Ryder is cocky, sexy and all alpha! After hooking up with Ashlyn, he decides he isn’t going to let her go that easily!
I loved Ryder and Ashlyn! The sexual connection between them is scorching and the sex scenes were so hot!
I loved this book! After that ending, I cannot wait for the next book! I hope we get Becca and Jaycents story!
Omg!!!! I was def on my seat with this book! i loved the suspense and the ending and i cant wait for part two to come out.
This is my second book by Shantel and let me tell you shes got me hooked on her books! I literally couldn’t put this book down and flew through it in two days. The chemistry between Ryder and Ashlyn is HOTT! They literally cannot keep there hands off each other and the feelings they feel for each other are there even when they think they can deny them. When going into this book i didn’t read any reviews so I didn’t know that it ended on a cliffhanger or that i’d have to wait for the second book so when I got to the end I was left going OMG! but in a good way. Cannot wait for the second book to come out and finish up Ashlyn’s and Ryder’s story.
I love how shantel brings her characters to life. I enjoy reading these books, and fall in love with her characters so easily. I’m not a huge fan of cliff hangers but I look forward to seeing how Ryder and Ashlyn’s story ends
Selfish is book one in the Selfish story. You get Ryder and Ashlyn’s story and its sexy, sweet, and a bit dirty from the beginning. Like all of Shantel’s books, I was pulled in from the first few pages.
I enjoyed the dual POV, as well as the secondary characters. This book has a cliffhanger and will leave you wanting to know what happens.
The connection between Ryder and Ashlyn is undeniable from the first night. But Ashlyn has rules, she’s feisty, independent and knows what she wants. Love is not something she’s looking for. Ryder is confident, a bit arrogant, and downright sexy. It was just supposed to be one night… But what happens when your one-night stand ends up being your best friends brother…
Can these two make a relationship last together or will they always just be a one night stand?
Seriously seriously wth?? It’s a cliffy & ur going to want the next book now if u love Shantel Tessier’s books like I do!!
Great angsty story about Ryder & Ashlyn. The meeting as strangers then finding out after their wonderful hot night he is her best friend’s brother wow crazy. Then she moves with her bestie which just so happens to be near Ryder. Ashlyn doesn’t give her heart to anyone, she is more of a have fun one day eventually I’ll fine my Romeo. Ryder is a complete cocky sexy man whore who is just about having fun. Mix in the sexy hot chemistry between them & u get lots of sparks!!
Need Selfless asap!!!
First, I loved these two meeting up in Panama City Beach. I love PCB!! We had just returned home from vacation there when I read Selfish. I reeeeallly loved how the roles are reversed. Ashlyn is the independent one just looking for a good time. Ryder is the “sweet” one who wants a lot more than one night with Ashlyn. Throw in a best friend/booty call from back home and you have a cliffhanger that will leave you jonesing for the next book.
Selfish is an awesome best friends brother story. I devoured it from beginning to end. It was well written and just so good. I liked the characters Ashlyn and Ryder. They were amazing and so perfect for eachother. Shantel Tessier is one of my go to authors and she just keeps,getting better with each book she writes. I really enjoy her stories and Selfish is one of my favorite for 2016.
I give it a 4.5 ****
This story made me laugh, angry, turned on and then I wanted to scream because it ended. Ashlynn and Ryder were the same individual in this book. They both didn’t do serious but one night just wasn’t enough for either one of them. That one night sets them on a course of lust filled nights and dates. I didn’t understand Ashlynn at first she didn’t grow on me until the last chapter because she was a coward and in denial throughout the whole book. Ryder even though he never had a serious relationship he was willing to try for Ashlynn because he saw something and he loved her fire. I thought she would have loved to be with because I would have but somethings you lose when you keep pushing it away. I can’t wait to read the next installment in their story. They kept me interested and I love when the characters and plot come together so well. It definitely gave me an insight into the mind of a kind of woman I have never met someone who has too much pride and lets her stubbornness and social status dictate her life.
