This is super sweet insta-love romance.
It’s also one of my favourite Alexa books. Bo is over the top crazy in love with the woman (Winter) he had a hot and heavy session with at a gala. He’s pulled out all the stops trying to find her including dusting for prints in the room they used. It’s driving the normally calm cool and collected man crazy.
And then she turns up as his brothers fiancée.
This is a great little read.

Really cute! I love the way these two met and the reason for them not finding each other after the event they met at was believable. It made for a great reunion when they both stumble into each other’s lives again. This was short but sweet with an OTT Alpha hero. Borrowed on KU.

This one was super cute. I’m hoping we get Cory’s story.

I loved Robert and Winter. They were sweet together. Adorable couple, bossy hero, virginal heroine and cute epilogue with 2 kids and pregnant heroine. A good short read.

Winter does not do well with crowds, a leftover anxiety from being abandoned in one as a kid, but for her best friend, Cory, she'll put on a brave face and be his plus one. They saved each other, albeit in different ways, and their bond is strong. When Cory steps away to get them drinks, she's saved from a man that doesn't like the word no but the sexiest guy she's ever seen. The connection between her and Robert is instant, it's everything, and they can't resist acting on it. And then a fire breaks out in the building.
Robert (or Bo as his family calls him) knows Winter is the one for him the second he sees her. But after they come together *snicker* they're interrupted by the fire alarm and are separated. He tries to get back to her, but as he and his mom were both somewhat injured from the smoke, he loses her. He spends the next four months searching for her, his heart breaking every day that passes without finding her. When they're reunited, he never expected her to be the fiancee his brother, Cory, was talking about.
Winter had no idea Robert and Bo were the same person. She knew him as the former, while his family only calls him the latter. That interlude with him forever marked her heart and the time apart was a struggle, but from it, she gained the little person growing inside her...which is the reason her best friend proposed. He doesn't want her to be alone and knows this is a way to protect her and the baby.
Robert is relieved to discover the engagement is not a love match, nor a done deal, but Cory's way of taking care of his best friend. However, now that they're together again, the only person taking care of his family will be him.
I don't need to ask any questions here. We all know this duo will work everything out, give us a HEA, and it'll be just what we need. I really hope Cory gets a story.
One-click now and indulge in a sweet story of instalove and the race to find one another again.

H was too sweet for me but because I also like possessive/besotted heroes, it was still a good read.

Because I needed something cheesy, this was kind of cute. You usually know what you’re going to get when you pick up an AE read.

Es un libro empalagosito típico de Alexa con un toque Hot, no tan erótico.

This is an extremely safe read with extremely possessive alpha male and a cute as a button heroine.
Winter had been on her own living day to day when she met Cory and they became best friends, he was going through a difficult time after the death of his father and was blowing off steam, now he’s ready for the real world again but worried that no one will take him seriously. Working non-stop he needs a date to a company party and Winter although she hates crowds. Sitting her at their table where she meets Robert, they connect immediately and the chemistry is off the charts after a unbelievable interlude they are separated during a fire and with neither knowing each other’s names have they lost each other forever or could they be about to find the love and life that they both crave.
Love love Alexa Riley books they are guaranteed to be safe and leave you feeling good. Bo and Winter’s story was just another epic love with a perfect HEA but please please can Cory have a book too he was so sweet.

Another good, sweet, sexy and OTT read by Alexa Riley! Now to wait on the brother's story... there has to be one to make this story complete... hint-hint!
“Why didn’t you come back?” I blurt out. He’s being too sweet. It’s all too much. I’m going to fall in love with him if I’m not already. I feel my eyes fill with tears.
“Angel, don’t cry.” He leans down, putting his forehead to mine. “I did. You were gone.” I can actually hear the pain in his voice.
4 Forever ever after stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!****

Un nuevo insta-love esta vez entre Robert, un macho alfa, y Winter, una dulce heroína inocente, en un evento de la caridad. Pero Winter esta casi prometida y ¡¡Sorpresa!! con el hermano de Robert, pero eso no es todo... 😱
Definitivamente fue dulce, corto como todos los demás y con un poco de alto voltaje. Me gustaría saber mas de Cory. 🤔🤔

3.5 stars rounded up.
This book needs a bookfomercial™. If that's not a thing, I'm making it a thing.
Hey, you.
Yes, you.
Do you like romance? Do you ever get annoyed by the fact that most books have a plot? Do you wish there were books out there without a plot? And do you hate that most books have a pesky thing called conflict?
Look no further my friends.
Okay, it may sound like I'm mocking this but I'm not. Well, maybe just a tiny bit, but not with any intention to be mean or belittle this book. As you can see from my rating, I genuinely enjoyed this book for exactly the reasons I just mentioned above. I was looking for something novella length that was easy to read but also a bit angsty and I found it.
The book is a bit short for me to give an actual synopsis but I'll give it a go. H/h meet, instalust occurs, shmexy stuff happens, time passes and then....the rest of the book happens. BOOM. There you go. The romance is super over the top and it gives new meaning to the word "instalove". Honestly, it was kind of ridiculous. Considering that is actually the point, I don't think this book can really be criticized for that. My star deductions are for the actual writing, which I found to be a little lackluster.
All in all, not a great book. Fun? Yes. Steamy? Sure. Short? Yup. A little ridiculous? Oh yeah. But on the positive side, this book knows what it is and it doesn't take itself too seriously.

Winter ha sabido toda su vida lo que es ser abandonada y estar sola hasta que conoce a Cory. La ha cuidado y le ha dado la mejor vida que ha podido, ellos se quieren como hermanos, los mejores hermanos. Entonces ambos asisten a una fiesta donde Winter conoce a Robert y cosas suceden... hasta que descubre quién es Robert de verdad.
Antes de dar mi opinión quiero decir algo: QUE HORRIBLE ES LA APLICACIÓN DE GOODREADS PARA ANDROID! De verdad que es terriblemente mala e incómoda, tanto para hacer reseñas como para todo. Mil veces mejor en iOS.
Dicho esto vamos al asunto: como siempre son 3 estrellas pero como si fueran 5 debido a lo cortito que es. Amo a Bo y amo a Winter porque son los dos adorables. Sobre todo Winter porque Bo es un gruñoncete excepto al final con los chiquitines 😍. En cuanto a Cory, aunque poco vimos realmente de el creo que fue un chico genial cuidando siempre de Winter, realmente se merece su final feliz y su propia historia.
Libro estupendo para pasar el rato!

Forever Winter wasn't my FAVORITE Alexa Riley book, but it had it's moments. Such as the premise and I liked the characters. There was only one epilogue, which was surprising since there's usually at least two in AR books. It was a pretty darn cute epilogue though!! Overall, it wasn't GREAT, but it wasn't bad either.

Who doesn’t like a little hot tryst with a stranger, when you’re a virgin....that is rhetorical😉😈. Absolutely loved this book. Winter aka snow angel is a sweet girl that goes with her bestie to a charity event. A stranger comes and saves her from a dirty old man. These two sneak off and have their tryst, something happens and they lose each other....can’t tell you the whole book. Anyway, fast forward 4 months and our sweet virgin now has a bun in her oven from her cherry popping tryst. She is going with her bestie on vacation to his families property. As soon as she gets there, her cherry popping stranger is there, scoops her up and takes her for himself....yeah, pretty much happened just like that. The stranger is Robert aka Bo, who also just so happens to be her besties brother...and he has been searching for her for the last four months.
Safe read, no ow drama, a little bestie/story drama...you have to read. A cherry popping OTT caveman alpha stranger and a sweet virgin. Same great OTT AR humor and storyline. A lotta heat, with baby batter an epilogue and an hea. Loved this classic Alexa Riley book.

Forever Winter was a classic Alexa Riley story. It was an insta-love, over-the-top romance with a sexy, strong and determined alpha male who was over-protective and possessive! This was a quick, sexy story with instant attention and chemistry.
Winter has not had an easy life, but she lucked out when she met Cory and he became her best friend and only family. So, when he needed her, she was always there to support him. Which is how she found herself going to a charity event with him. What she did not expect was to meet a man who would literally sweep her off her feet. However, when the fire alarms goes off, they are separated.
Bo has not been able to stop thinking about the woman he met at the charity event. He has spent the last few months searching for her. Imagine his surprise when meeting his brother’s fiancé, Winter, the woman of his dreams. One thing he knows is that she is his and no one else’s! Forever Winter by Alexa Riley was sexy and steamy story of two people meant to be together.
Loved it! Happy reading!

Another win for Alexa Riley!!!
Winter hasn’t had an easy life, but that’s not going to stop her. In college she met her best friend and they have been there for each other since. Caleb has been there for her and help her so she decides it time to help him as well. That is why she agreed to go to a formal dinner with him with a crowd. While there, she didn’t know that she was going to meet Robert. Instantly something clicks and she feels safe for the first time in her life. After their intimate moment at the party, a fire alarm goes off and they are unfortunately separated.
For the last 4 months, Robert has been searching for his mystery woman for the party and he’s not giving up. When Winter shows up at his family’s estate engaged to his brother pregnant, he will go to all lengths to prove that she is meant to be with him.
-safe read
-no om/ow drama
-h is a virgin
-good epilogue

God this was bad. Insta love central, I don't hate Insta love but it can be bad and this was bad. Like they have sex and are instantly in love, wanting to get married and they've barely talked.
There was serious red flags in this book. The guy was crazy possessive (red flag), he wants her to quit her job (red flag), he wants her to move to an isolated house (red flag) and he has no problem sleeping with a girl who he thinks is his brothers fiance (red flag). He literally rubs his boner on her when they first meets (red fucking flag)! And she (A virgin! Of course!) fucking swoons. Like what the fuck. That guy was icky and she found it so romantic and hot... hate it.
And you know the smut wasn't even that great. Pretty average at best. It might be better if there was any form of tension built other than them instantly being in love.
