Cowboys & Virgins #1

Lassoing the Virgin Mail-Order Bride

Rate this book
When Clare Stevens walked onto the McCallister ranch, she expected her life to be a certain way. She was the mail-order bride of the owner, and she was to fulfill her duties. Clean the house, cook for his men, and warm his bed at night. What she didn't expect was the beefy cowboy who walked in and literally swept her off her feet.

Cash McCallister didn't have time to date and find a wife. So a mail-order bride seemed the easiest way to find a partner. He thought he'd made a mistake until he laid eyes on the little piece of sunshine that lit up his life. He never imagined a true love like this. He never knew an obsession could take hold so tightly.

When drama hits the farm and their fast love is threatened, can Clare and Cash hold it together?

Warning: This is literally as cliché as it sounds...and just as awesome. It's a country living with high-calorie foods and easy sunsets. Come sit on the porch and stay awhile. You'll like what you see.

I've made it no secret that I have hard soft spot for smut. It's like carbs.

I can't get enough of it.

In the world of smut, the Alexa Riley team might be my Queen and this might be my favorite Alexa Riley to date. And, quite frankly, not a whole lot needs to be said. This ain't War & Peace, people.

It might be up your alley too if you like any of the following:

Cash and Clare are now one of my favorite AR couples. Clare is a mail order bride built in a small but feisty little package that sexy Cash loves, utterly possessively, of course, to place where he wants her to be. Lol Their exchanges are super cute and over the top with true Alexa Riley style but I found it to be endearing. It's how all of us wish to be loved: Completely. The plot was interesting though the focus was on the relationship. Cash's farmhands are hilarious. I want to read Brandon's story! The story is short but packed with plenty of pant-worthy sexy times and good character development. Safety: No abuse/rape. No OW/OM though we have a crazy chick after our H. Don't even bother asking about condoms in an Alexa Riley book lol Virgins in this one :)

RATING 4.5 STARS

Alexa Riley:

Lassoing the Virgin Mail Order Bride by Alexa Riley is my very first book by Ms. Riley. Do you want a quick book that will make you smile, sigh (a lot) and make your toes curl in a very good way? If that sounds like something that you would like, this book is for you.

Lassoing the Virgin Mail Order Bride Alexa Riley:

When Clare Stevens lost her mother, she had nothing left. She felt like she had no other choice than the mail order bride option. The man she promised to marry lives on a ranch and needs someone to cook for his men, take care of his home and hopefully warm his bed. He sent her a picture of himself and he seemed very easy on the eyes. This has to work. She has no where else to go.

Cash McCallister gets up early, works the ranch all day and falls into bed at night exhausted. He wants more. He wants a reason to come back to the house at the end of the day. But there is no time for dating the traditional way. So he made a bargain with a mail order bride. At the last minute, he chickens out and decides to cancel the agreement. But his foreman brought her home anyway and all it took was one glance and he was smitten.

“She’s my home.”

Cowboys!:

Neither Cash or Clare have been in love before and both are completely bowled over with the enormity of their feelings. Cash is adorably jealous when he thinks someone is as much as glancing at Clare. This rough and tough cowboy, though, completely made me swoon. The things he said! I had some serious tummy flutters going on.

“I suspect I’d follow you to the end of the earth if it meant getting close to you.”

Lassoing the Virgin Mail Order Bride Alexa Riley:

Clare and Cash have both lost someone important to them, both suffered loneliness. I loved the way they filled the void in each other’s hearts and lives.

“I know one thing for sure, I’m going to make sure Cash isn’t so lonely anymore. I know what that feels like. I may not be cut out for the farm life, but this is something I can do.”

At the same time that Clare and Cash are falling in love, the farm hands have been finding fences broken, a prize bull goes missing, and vandalism in the barn. Clare is the first woman to live on the ranch but is she now in danger? Can Cash keep her safe?

cuddles:

I am in love with this little book. Cash totally made me swoon. The book is told from both his and Clare’s point of view so you get inside both of their heads. And Clare was just so sweet. They were perfect. Some people don’t enjoy instalove. But I don’t mind it a bit. This was a feel good, put a smile on your face story that I am so glad I read. I definitely want to read more of Alexa Riley’s work.

4.5 'Alpha Cowboy' Stars!
 photo Lassoing the Virgin Mail-Order Bride - Alexa Riley_zpspuq0dvpg.png

Most of you know that when I need something sweet, hot and short I go directly towards Alexa Riley's books. I was still in a book hangover after reading Alessandra Torre's Black Lies and also I was pretty excited about this new story by Alexa! Of course, I will never complain when there is a hot cowboy involved ;)

Lassoing the Virgin Mail-Order Bride is a stand-alone short story that tells the story of Cash McCallister (said hot cowboy who is a workaholic that has no time to date so he 'orders' a wife through a program) and Clare Stevens (a broke woman who has no family and now she is willing to become Cash's wife, especially after she meets him!).

She’s beautiful. She’s the most perfect thing I’ve ever seen in my life, and I want to keep her.

“You’re a big old brute, you know that, Cash? You can’t just manhandle something when it doesn’t do what you want,” Clare huffs out, and crosses her arms over her chest.
“When it’s mine, I do.”


I really enjoyed this story, it's definitely, again, a great read if you want a quickie and smutty story about insta-love and with plenty of hot and cheesy moments. Still, my faves continue being Mechanic, PS... You're Mine and Curvy, but this was pretty close to them! I just felt there was not as much chemistry at the very beginning! But there was lots of it after that so, it was great!

Of course, I still loved Cash and Clare! They are super-sweet, funny and sexy! And I mean, what can go wrong when you have a cowboy who behaves like a caveman and wants the heroine all for himself? This girl does not complain about that ;) Also, I do not complain on the sex department, you all know Alexa Riley always delivers on that aspect. And delivers well! So hot, loved the dirty talking, the cheesiness and the sex scenes!

“I get lost when you kiss me,” she whispers.
Running my hands up and down her back, I smile against her skin. “Good thing I’m right here to find you when it’s over. Now come inside and let’s make this legal.”

“Do you like turning me on? Knowing you’re moving around this kitchen with my eyes on you, my cock getting harder with each sway of your hips? Do you do it on purpose? Trying to get me to sink into your pussy again?”
“Oh, God.”
His hand tightens in my hair, giving a little pull. “It’s Cash, sweetheart. Don’t make me tell you again. Only my name comes from that mouth of yours when you’re all wet.”


Yep, not a single complain. I want a hot cowboy! lol And I don't think I have anything else to say.. You want a good short story with a hot alpha who falls in love instanly with the heroine? Alexa Riley right here gives it to you! I am sure that if you have enjoyed her smutt stories, you will enjoy this one too!

The things he makes me feel fill parts of me that I didn’t even know were there. Parts I didn’t realice were longing to be filled.

Clare is the glue that holds me together and the rhythm that makes this place run. Everything she touches falls in love with her, so I make sure to keep her touches just for me.


Therefore, my rating for Lassoing the Virgin Mail-Order Bride is 4.5 STARS because I really enjoyed this short story, the sexy cowboy and the chemistry between the main characters! So, if you enjoy Alexa Riley's style or you want somenthing light and short to read, please try this one out :)

There’s a Cowboy Mail-Order Bride Program? If I had only knew this information twenty years ago I could be cooking pies on a ranch in Texas right now with a guy like Cash (insert chuckle). This is my first Alexa Riley book and I had braced for heavy smut but what I got was so very sweet with a suitable sexy times for the story (though sexy times were well done).

Clare Stevens heads out to Texas to meet her husband-to-be and start her life as a wife of a cowboy. Clare was a likable character and Cash was pretty great. He made me laugh, brought the swoon, and was just the right amounts of alpha and sweet.

”When the officiant got to the part about asking if anyone objected, I jerked the ring out of his hand and put it on Clare before he could even finish the sentence. I pulled her to me, kissed her mouth and said, “Were done here.”

description

My only complaint if any even was that my time with this couple was too darn short. I would recommend this one to anyone looking for a cute, sexy quick read!

Personal Overview

Cash was a very lonely cowboy. Even though content with his life on the ranch, he longs for something more, that he believes he'll never have, so he resigns himself to satisfy the ranch's need for a feminine hand and decides to order himself a mail-order bride.

After her mother's recent death, Clare finds herself alone and completely broke. With nothing and no one else to resort to she decides to give her fate away as a mail-order bride, since that way she will at least have something that she loves, the life on a ranch.

Cash and Clare thought the mail-order bride arrangement was the fastest and easiest solution to their problems. What they had no idea was that it would mean so much more for both of them. It would mean ALL their dreams come true...



As per AR fashion, from the moment they meet the chemistry was off the charts. But Clare won't just give in easily to some growls. She is feisty and sure of herself, and that only fuels Cash's caveman/cowboy manners more to life. And boy, oh boy, was Cash one possessive OTT hero!!!



He really was jealous of everyone and everything, where Clare was concerned. And he made literally no excuses for that. And that made Clare even hotter for him (I'm with you on that one, sister!!!)!



Talking about steam, be prepared with a new pair of panties, a cold shower or definitely NOT reading this one in public, because even considering how sweet and inexperienced they both are (you won't even realize ;) ), and the fact that Cash managed to wait for his wedding night to actually have their first time, damn does this man like going down on his woman...



Of course she isn't the only one ending up wet after this little number...

And that's exactly what's wanted and expected from a Alexa Riley's story.

With so many uncertain things in our real lives, it's fantastic to know that Alexa Riley's books aren't one of them. We always know a safe and orgasm-inducing little story is waiting for us!!! And that, like the sweet drug that it is, the high isn't even over and we already want MORE, so please give us our next fix!!!

Cash McCallister had been working hard since he inherited the family farm. He didn’t have time to start a relationship but he yearned to come home to a wife who would take care of him.

Clare Stevens became desperate after her mother’s death. With no money and nowhere to go, she chose to become a mail order bride. She expected for it to simply be mechanical – cook, clean, take care of him – but initial attraction quickly turned into something more



Whenever I am stuck on what book to read next, I look into my go-to genre – the short, kinky books. It acts somewhat like a palate cleanser haha! Alexa Riley’s books never failed to refresh and made me ready for more.

I get satisfaction from a hard day’s work and taking care of the land, but having someone to come home to at the end of it makes it all worthwhile.


Cash, even with some caveman tendency was actually quite sweet. Clare was a good match to him and I love how she went head to head with him at some points

“I’m not being like anything. I just don’t have time for your little games today. I’m not playing it. I’ve never played it.”


I was pleasantly surprised to find out this book actually has a good story. Not just the basic plot, but with a little something extra that added another dimension to the story.

This isn’t quite a DNF but I skimmed really hard at the 77% point. I’ve never read this author before but have seen her around on my feed and am aware of her more problematic books - this isn’t one of them - and I have to say her stuff is very readable. It flows well and the story telling is immersive. But I think the subject matter and characterization of the two mains is just not what I’m looking for in my romance. I’ve heard this style is called wish fulfillment, which basically means that the author created a story to service an end wish and modelled the world however she wanted to get to that end, not worrying about reality, facts, science, actual normal adult behaviour etc. That very much describes these types of books and I very much do not enjoy them. The set up for this one was a mail order bride with a woman down on her luck and a lonely rancher. I like a good mail order bride story in my historical westerns, because it was an actual thing back in those days and I enjoy watching two people in forced proximity getting to know and then love each other. However, the mail order bride trope just does not work for me in contemporary. It makes no sense and I have to suspend my disbelief a little too much to get in to this. It feels like boss/employee except this one employee isn’t getting paid. Why didn’t he just hire a housekeeper? Then you have a fair exchange of labour and money.
Another thing that didn’t work for me and seems pretty prevalent in these books is the fetishization of size differences between the woman and the man, adding a virgin heroine on top of that is just too ott for me. The only real descriptive feature we are given for this FMC is that she’s small, delicate and tiny. It’s almost pedophilic how her childlike qualities are emphasized in this book, and of course the hero is huge, we are told he is three times her size…. That’s a lot, like an impossible lot. He keeps going on and on in his inner thoughts about how he won’t fit when it comes time for sex. He practices shooting his load far so that if he only gets the tip in he can still make her pregnant. 🙄
Seriously? Does he not get that if he makes her pregnant, the baby will come out of this hole that his dick is apparently too big for? There is no way his dick is larger than a human newborn, so get over it. This creeps me out. It makes me cringe. I don’t want to read it anymore between two humans. Monsters and aliens though, I’m still fine with that. 🤣.
So I need more reality in my contemporary reads than these wish fulfillment books provide. I’m going to try to avoid them in future. So sorry AR, though your words are readable, I probably won’t be picking up anything else by you in future.

A sexy cowboy with a big heart and a at first glance shy mail-order bride?!
Heck yes!!!

description

I honestly don't know how Alexa Riley does it every freaking time! It's like some kind of a magic spell that you can't break and the best part of it is that you don't even want to! As per usual I loved the plot, characters and sexy love scenes. I'm not really a fan of cowboy stories but when it comes to AR I simply know it's going to be worth my while. And it trully was!

A marriage of convenience. ... This wasn’t going to be hearts and flowers. We would each do our part.

description

Both had a rough life that left one sexy cowboy a very lonely man and a beautiful bride in dear need of financial stability. So, Clare and Cash thought the mail order bride contract would solve their problems. And they were right. But neither of them knew just how right their decisions would turn out to be.

We’d both lost our families, but we’re ready to start our own. The past is a lot easier to take when we’re together.

I loved Cash's character. He is such a hard worker that truly loves what he does. And no matter how exhausting or lonely that kind of lifestyle made him, he would never give up on his family business. But what made me love him even more was the fact that once he saw Clare he turned into a big sweetheart with one big jealous mind and he made no secret of his feelings for Clare and who she belonged to.

What does she think she’s doing? She can’t go out there and let those men see her. Is she crazy? She’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life. No way are those hound dogs gonna lay eyes on this sweet, innocent, little thing.

As for Clare, at first she appeared as a shy young woman but soon turned into a firecracker. She definitely knew how to keep Cash on his toes, both inside as well as out of bedroom. ;) And I have a feeling there will never be a dull moment where she's involved. She's just what Cash needed and I'm so happy those two found each other. I admit, the way it all happened was not how you'd normally meet your other half but in the end only the end result mattered.

We have a simple life here, but it’s the most perfect one I could ever imagine.

She have me at Yeehaw! in Dedication. I don't remember when I read the western romance but it was good to recall that it can be so cool.



It was supposed to be a marriage of convenience, and started the most romantic story ever. I absolutely love the idea of The Cowboy Mail-Order Bride Program. It has such a whiff of old age with modernity. Very romantic, probably only if it ends like here, but whatever!



It is toes curling and panty melting story! His possessiveness and overprotection in combination with an attitude sassy sweet little thing which is Clare, is very funny and so, so cute! Their quarrels and exchanges at the beginning is that, what I am waiting for when I reach for such short stories. Just good fun! We have here a more action with secondary characters, so it is more threads and various adventures. Of course, along with Alexa Riley we can count on all the hot smutty moments and here we have them hot and ready to excite you!



I totally recommend such as this stories of Alexa Riley. It is funny, light, quick, and so adorable with a good dose of steaming moments. Nothing too bold, just love, love, love!

This was a short and sexy read. I will admit that the title is horrible...LOL...but quite honestly, even though it was a cheesy over the top read...I did enjoy it. I hadn't expected huge depth to it..I just wanted a read that wasn't a huge emotional drain, as so many of the newer books right now seem to be. I have read a few books by Alexa Riley, and she never fails to deliver serious heat to her stories. If I want a good smutty read, she is usually the author that comes to mind to give it to me!!

In the case of this novella, we have a cowboy named Cash McCallister; and he is looking for someone to cook for him and his men, clean his house, and of course, some woman to warm his bed. I guess where he lives there is a shortage of women?? Not sure, but he decides to order a bride through the mail...Makes sense doesn't it?!!! LOL Along comes Virgin Clare, to give him what he needs, and more!!! She is everything he wants, and Cash becomes very possessive over his five foot two bride!!!
When these two get together, sparks ignite and then they begin the hard task of having lots and lots of sex! After all, Cash has decided he won't rest until he gives Clare a baby!!! LOL

You get the drift of what this whole book is about!!! It is pretty simple, but a great read if you are looking for a quickie!! Pun intended!!!
This was exactly what I needed, instead of reading a story that makes me want to gouge my eyes out!! How refreshing...LOL

4.5 - "You're big all over... But I think we're gonna be just fine." Stars!

One thing that has become apparent since I recently started reading Alexa Rileys novellas is that the authors know exactly how to deliver any given trope to the absolute extreme, but with really great results. Lassoing the Virgin Mail Order Bride tells you exactly what this one is about, and it was an absolute joy to read.



Alpha Cowboy Cash McAllister hasn’t really had time to go out and meet women, due to running the family ranch full-time, being around men all day brings on the type of loneliness at night that only a good woman can help ease, so he signs up to the Cowboy Mail Order Bride Program, in anticipation of meeting someone to cook his meals during the day and hopefully warm his bed during the night.

I want to keep her.

Clare Stevens, has lost everything, her only chance at a fresh start, is to agree to become the bride Cash is looking for, she uses the last of her money to travel to McAllister Ranch…

"What am I going to do with her."

Clare is everything Cash isn’t small, dainty, and full of sass, the verbal sparring between these two was priceless, and I absolutely loved how Cash turned into a virtual caveman as soon as he set eyes on her. The dual POV once again worked really well in this novella, because while Clare puzzles about Cash’s’ unusual and somewhat unreasonably cute dominant behaviour towards her, Cash is just trying to stop himself from poking the eyes out of any guy that looks at her whilst walking round with a perma-boner.

"I get lost when you kiss me."

Add in a little intrigue and suspense, a decent back-story for them both and you have a pretty well rounded plot-line. I am still relatively new to the phenomenon that is Alexa Riley, but I have really enjoyed everything that I have read so far. These are novellas that put quite simply 'do what it says on the tin' it’s a fail-safe recipe, and it’s really, really working.

“You’re big all over, Cash. But I think we’re gonna be just fine.”


I have to start out by giving a big thumbs up to the writing team of Alexa Riley. I, being a member of the kindle unlimited posse, have read a few Alexa Riley books. Until now they've been enjoyable but the growly, over the top instalove love always manages to make me laugh more than anything else. The sexy times usually help make up for it but I still don't totally end up being on board for the reading experience.

Lassoing the Virgin Mail Order Bride is a slightly softer, sweeter version of what I'm used to getting from this duo. Still hot, but with a real sweetness I wasn't expecting. It made for less outright laughing, when I'm pretty sure that wasn't the authors intent, and more of me actually enjoying the story.

I can't help but laugh at these stories.

***3.5 Stars***

Alexa Riley's stories always leave me with a smile on my face. Lassoing the Virgin Mail-Order Bride had me smirking from the very beginning. Alexa is the Queen of OTT bossy, obsessive and domineering heroes, matched with sweet but feisty heroines.

I can't help but cringe a little when the heroes get jealous, or starts talking about breeding their woman. Geez if my hubby had used the word breeding on me, I would have laughed in his face. When Alex Riley's characters do it, it's kind of a turn on.

Lassoing the Virgin Mail-Order Bride was definitely Alexa at her best. The hero was grunting, growling and yelling from the very beginning, not wanting the men on his station to be even in the same room as his woman. Having her attached to or touching him seemed to be when he was happiest.

There were a few little errors, but they didn't distract me too much from the story.

I will definitely be reading more of Alexa Riley's stories in the future.

There once was a Kitty who thought herself wily
so she read a book by Alexa Riley
under no certain behest
about a cowboy who lived in the west



In the tale lived a cowboy named Cash
but really this book isn’t trash
he could perform any trick
even lasso a girl with his dick



One day out of sheer desperation
a virgin was called to make his acquaintance
he had to use all his flirtation
in hopes of gaining marriage acceptance



The virgin young miss from out west
asked the cowboy who sat on her chest
“Will cum cause decay?”
No m’am I’ve heard say
It’s the secret ingredient of Crest



And so the tale came to an end
although Kitty wished to extend
“They’ve done it again”
Kitty cried her amen



The result had Kitty astounded
and really quite confounded
so she yelled without malice
“I need a big plastic phallus”


Just in case that wasn’t clear enough; Alexa Riley did it again with another over-the-top ridiculous tale. This time they brought us a cowboy and another reason to be disappointed in mere mortal men. Cash was a fumbling mess after setting eyes on Clare and it was fucking adorable. These ladies just have a knack with turning cringy clichés into these endearing, panty-melting stories.

Another classic Alexa Riley story. I was really excited about the whole mail-order-bride thingy, thinking this might actually make things a bit different maybe...but it was STILL the same old plot.

*sigh*

Ms. Riley... I am BEGGING you, please... Add a little bit angst. Do something incongruous...even for YOU. Get out of your comfort zone. I am seriously in LURV with your work, but let's be honest for a minute: It WILL get boring in time...

OVERALL: Sexy cowboy. Mail order bride. Lots of sex. Trust me, it's good. You'll enjoy the sh*t out of it.

This one was a good one! Look, let’s be honest, Alexa Riley is my guilty pleasure. Her books are a fast and an easy read with a whimsical smutty storyline. Lassoing the Virgin Mail Order Bride is probably one of her tamer books, but it has more romance and character buildup. I really enjoyed this one and I think a lot of readers did too based on the reviews.

I found Clare and Cash a cute couple and I loved the cowboy theme, yee haaawwww. It had everything I looked for in an Alexa Riley read with a possessive alpha male, an inexperienced heroine and yummy steam!

When a formula works... then there is absolutely no reason to change it. It can be adapted to Mafia, CEO or even in this case... Rancher/Cowboy. Alexa Riley knows exactly what buttons to push for her audience... and I say push away.

This had just the right amount of a story... besides the mail order bride and the Alpha Cowboy with OTT desire for his new surprisingly wonderful spitfire.

Not too long and full of everything terrific for an afternoon read... Ye Haw!

I thought this was going to be more SMUT than story, but it ended up being a cute sweet story about a girl desperate enough to sign up to marry someone who owns a ranch and a guy who (obviously) falls in love with her at first sight, and is obsessed with making her his, by marrying and breeding her.

When you put it like that is not that sweet, I guess.

The best way to complete a reading challenge is to read one of your favorite authors' books so that's what I did. I loved this book! One of my favorite books. I love every book I read by Alexa Riley. They're always safe and hot and they always have beautiful epilogues.

The story is about Cash (no age mentioned, maybe twenties or early thirties) and Clare, 19 (almost 20).

Clare's mother died over a month ago and she was left alone. She's broke and has nowhere to go.

Cash is a wealthy man. He owns a ranch and has no time for a woman. He's lonely and he thought a mail-order bride was the best way to find a wife. Clare's the mail-order bride and she expected Cash to pick her up at the train station. Instead, he had his best foreman, Earl picked her up. She was disappointed but she didn't know he ordered Earl to tell her he already changed his mind and wanted to send her back. Only Earl didn't do what he said and he was shocked to see her when he went back home.

I loved how possessive and protective he was from the moment he saw her. It's like he can't help it. It's so cute every time he gets jealous. Not because he doesn't trust her or his men. That's just the way he is when it comes to her. And he doesn't want anyone to see her pleasure or flushed from orgasm.

It's supposed to be a marriage of convenience but he can't control his feelings for her once he saw her. The connection they have for each other is so strong and they're so good together. They're perfect for each other.

I loved everything about this book and I loved the epilogue even more! Marriage and lots of babies. A perfect epilogue for me.

4 Cowboy Lovin’ Stars!!

Cash McCallister has been working hard since he inheriting the family farm, he has no time to start a relationship but he longs to come home to a wife who would take care of him. Clare Stevens is in a bind, after her mother’s death with no money and nowhere to go, and little options she chooses to become a mail order bride…..

This short story was very sweet and definitely HOT!! The hero completely fell for the heroine the minute his eyes locked on her, and she couldn't resist him either. Cash is possessive, obsessive, gentle, loving and protective…everything I love in a hero!!! And he’s a Cowboy to boot!!!

“You’re big all over, Cash. But I think we’re gonna be just fine.”


Clare, at first seems kinda shy but she soon turns into a little firecracker, she's definitely no push over!! She’s exactly what Cash needed. Clare and Cash make a great couple and I loved them together!!

“All I could think from the moment I laid eyes on you was that I had to get you down the aisle and tied to me. Then that wasn't enough. Now all I can think about is putting a baby in you. Then you really could never leave me. You'd be stuck here forever. Mine.”


This was my first Alexa Riley read, and I gotta say, I loved her possessive alpha hero so much I will be looking for more books by this author. Even though the book was short, it didn’t feel incomplete in any way.

I honestly started laughing from the title of this book and I was keep laughing and smiling until I finished the book.
I only need to say two things about this book:
1. Too many virgins in the story.
2. It doesn't matter how big it is. It still can fit...
O, god so cheesy and soppy. I really enjoyed this story!

3.5 STARS!

The longest title I've read. Let's just say I'm not familiar with mail order bride? Huh... What the hell is that? I didn't know such thing exist in real or only in this book? LOL! I was in cloud nine when see this. I mean how dirty it can be after Virgin Trailer Park *cough*
I start rubbing my cock in longer strokes thinking about it. How I need to cum inside her and make her mine. Each thrust into my hand is getting wilder and less controlled. I can’t hold on much longer.
There is plot. Kinda unusual but still appreciate a little suspense in the story. We all know where all this will going down, right? Sweet woman meet the alpha , fall in love, (a lot of) fucking, married and babies. The bright side is I liked the main characters. Clare and Cash are easily likable. They fell in lust at first sight. I loved Cash with his dirty mouth ;)
“I get lost when you kiss me,” she whispers.
Running my hands up and down her back, I smile against her skin. “Good thing I’m right here to find you when it’s over. Now come inside and let’s make this legal.”

Unfortunately, I want some down to dirty kinda sex. Just look at that cover. It should messy. Even it didn't meet my expectation but quite okay. Lassoing the Virgin Mail Order Bride is a decent and quick read for romantic heart. Sweet and over-the-top. Of course, not for the smut pervert like I am. LMAO!
“It’s Cash, sweetheart. Don’t make me tell you again. Only my name comes from that mouth of yours when you’re all wet.”
