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.
Wow Becca has a lot of things to deal with. Jaycent is trying to be all things for her. Becca’s mother is a real piece of work. It is hard to believe what her mother was willing do to get what she wanted. So glad Becca found out and was able to move forward with help from her dad and Jaycent. Loved this story and the love they have for each other.
What an amazing once in a life time love story. Ryder is one hard headed man. Ashlyn is one strong willed woman. They make for one fiery fierce couple. They have an all consuming connection. Could not wait to see where this story would go. This book had all the feels. A must read .
Love this series 🙂 The chemistry with these couples is amazing and I loved the drama in it. Shantel is an amazing author and always leaves me wanting more!!
Selfish is a 3 book series. This series is one of my top picks. Ashlyn and Ryder met on a beach during vacation and had a hot n crazy one night stand that ended up being so much more. There was a lot of drama going on between them Vicky tried to get between them, Bradley even caused some issues. Will they be able to get back on track? Even though it’s only been a few weeks of them being together, can the love they have for eachother overcome everything thrown at them? Then there is also Becca and Jayden with their history and what they are up to now. This was such a great series and I know this will be one I will read more then once!
I love Ashlyn and Ryder, their story is so good I am glad we have another book by them. They are amazing characters.
This book is full of LOL parts and some sad parts at times, So much emotion while reading.
I was shouting at my kindle at times they were winding me up so much, I wanted to jump in the book at one point and bang their heads together. But these two are so good together, I love the chemistry they have it is off the charts.
This book is so good and I fell in love with Ryder even more. Ryder and Ashlyns story will take you on a rollercoaster of a ride and will have you on the edge of your seat wondering how it will all end. I loved the writing, I started this book and I did not move until I finished the last page.
This couple will be with me for a long while they are one of my favourite couples
I have laughed and had a few tears reading this one Shantel makes you feel what the characters feel like you are right there with them rooting for them.
I cannot wait to see what Shantel brings us next.
Selfish: 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 loved this story from the perspective of Becca and Jaycent! The overlapping of the story line from book 1 helped provide an entirely different point of view for many of the dramatic scenes.
The relationship between these two characters was incredible. The forbidden aspect of it due to a large age gap, brother’s best friend, already in a relationship… all of those things made this crashing of hearts that much more exhilarating! Everything was stacked against them, yet somehow they found a way not once but three times!
My heart broke for Becca and what her mother put her through. What her boyfriend of multiple years put her through. There is only so much that one woman can take and B not only faced it head on, she rose up and came out on the other side a stronger woman than ever. I was so proud of her character in this book. She finally stood up for herself and took what she wanted. Jaycent!
This couple made me swoon like you wouldn’t believe. I was rooting for their love from the beginning! I loved the outcome the author gave these two and can’t wait to see more of them in book 3.

I wanted to scream at every single character in this book on numerous occasions! There was so much betrayal, lying, manipulation, back stabbing drama! It just kept going and going. But above all that there was undeniable love and friendship and trust. It seemed like Ashlyn and Ryder had to hit rock bottom before they could both see how they clearly felt for one another and admit it not only to themselves but to each other.
This read had so many twists and turns and sudden impacts! My head was spinning from one chapter to the next!
Parts of this book seemed a little abrupt or short for how dramatic the scene or exchange was. But overall this read was addiction and I couldn’t put it down! I was so invested in all 4 of the main characters and their successes and failures. I absolutely loved the twist at the end and how it shaped the last few chapters of the book. The ending was nothing short of amazing and brought a huge smile to my face. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome for Ashlyn, Ryder, Becca and Jaycent.
Selfish
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.
Myself
I loved Becca and Jaycent! They were in love for years before they got their chance. I really love the change in her father too. I think he was really thinking of what he has missed all this time with his kids too. Her mother is just plain awful. I hope Connor never shows back up. I can’t wait to see where Ryder ends up with his best friend and sister.
Selfless
Finally Ryder and Ashlyn’s HEA! I loved her spirit. Ashlyn finally decided to fight for herself. This book was funny, but finally tied up loose ends. I was wondering about the checks Jackie found, and to finally realize that Timothy was gonna get his HEA too? I loved that. I also loved the scene with Ryder trying to get her from her date, and making up Nibbles. I truly enjoyed these stories!
This series is amazing! Ashlyn and Ryder are both headstrong but lovingly loyal to the ones they care for making them a great couple to read about. Becca and Jaycent are the sweetest couple to read about they just need to get their timing right. Go grab this boxset, you won’t be disappointed two couples two great stories!
I loved this series! The drama, the angst, The love and connection both couples- Ashlyn and Ryder and Becca and Jaycent had was amazing! This is a must read! You will not be disappointed
Loved this boxset the couples are awesome!
I absolutely loved reading this series of 3 books!! Between Ryder and Ashlyn’s story and Becca and Jaycent’s! I was absolutely hooked!!! This was one of my favorite series to read and I definitely recommend it!! The chemistry between the couples is HOTTT!!! I literally couldn’t book this book down once I started to read it!!
Love this series so much. Didnt want the story to end.
Love all the characters. five stars isnt enough
Selfish
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 meet as strangers then after a sexy 1 night stand, he is actually her best friend’s brother!!! 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 completely c*ck¥ sexy man wh•re who is just about having fun. Mix in the sexy hot chemistry between them & u get lots of sparks!!
Myself
Shantel sure knows how to write a story to suck you in & make you never want out!! Jaycent & Becca are one hot couple with chemistry you feel when you walk into a room.
Becca is a sweet girl we were introduced to in Selfish; who looks to have had the perfect life. The question is does she? Jaycent her brother’s best friend. Within the first 3 chapters you get knocked over, then your left trying to pull yourself back up just to see what is going to happen next. The next thing you know your reading along and bam, wait…..what just happened. Then your going back to re-read the last sentence/paragraph like what the heck??? OMG this book was so jaw dropping that as you get towards the end of the book your saying wait wait no there has to be more…. I have a complete & udder book hangover. I always want more when her books end, can’t get enough of this author! I don’t ever want to give away spoilers when writing a review, so if you take away 1 thing from my review take with you this next sentence. This is a book full lust, love, mistakes, lies, bone chilling honesty, add in some angst with a dash of sexy, hot alphas.
Selfless
The final book in this series & wow what a way to wrap it up!! Ryder was sweet, swoony & dirty talked you into falling for his charms as he is making Ashlyn his. When you begin their story Ryder is a cocky manwhore who hasn’t & doesn’t want anything more, he is happy with how life is. This book shows what happens after people jump to conclusions. This book truly reminds u of the age old saying u don’t know what you have until it’s gone. I love Ashlyn’s character, she is strong & passionate. Her strength shows when she realizes she has sulked enough over this break up. Ryder seems to lose himself for a while, but that is perfect for how c*ck¥ he is in the 1st book. When they both begin to fight for each other, it’s almost like when it rains it pours, because if someone or something is going to go wrong it happens to them. The story of their ending or beginning, is amazingly written. The way they work through & put the work into their relationship, they find themselves being able to deal with everything around them. Ashlyn is strong, but stronger with & for Ryder. This story will make u smile, laugh & cry. It was an emotional roller coaster that I never wanted to end. Be prepared to fall in love with the book & the author.
Shantel is a must 1-click!! #loveryder
Selfish
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.
Myself
We now have Becca and Jaycent’s story as well as an outsider’s view of Ashlyn and Ryder’s relationship (Selfish, book 1).
Becca has lived an emotional nightmare for the past 4 years, but Jaycent is determined to free her from that life, especially now that he knows who has been pulling the strings. Yep, didn’t see that coming!
I was so excited to see Becca open up and become vocal and confident. Of course Jaycent was supporting her the whole way…swoon!!
“Ryder is my best friend, but if I had to choose between the two of you, I’d pick you. Every time.”
“True love has sides. True love has consequences. And true love is worth every bit of the fight.”
**The bonus scene with Ashlyn, Ryder, and Nibbles – HILARIOUS!! I cannot wait for the continuation of their story!
Selfless
Oh, how I missed Ashlyn and Ryder! I fell in love with them in Selfish and couldn’t wait for them to get their happily ever after in Selfless. This book will make you laugh, cry, and want to throw your Kindle. The rat scene had me laughing until tears were running down my face! Just when I think Shantel is going to leave me wondering about a couple of people and incidents) and how they fit into Ashlyn and Ryder’s story, she wraps everything up nicely in the perfect epilogue. It might sound crazy, but I really would love to see a story about Bradley and Becca. Milton needs a story, too!
“That smile, those eyes, and her voice — they make me weak in the knees and make me feel invincible all at once. She’s the perfect storm, and she’s all mine.”
“She’s selfless — giving up something she dreams of to make me happy. And I can’t allow that.”
I loved this whole series!
Selfish is book 1 in the Selfish series. It was 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 reads for 2016
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.
*The whole series is worth the read because you get to learn about Ryder’s sister and best friend. All the while the characters are trying to find out ways to fix their lives. Great series you will not want to put it down. *
