Awesome first book. Alex is mysterious and intriguing.
Alex Drake captured my interest from the start. He is rich and powerful, confident and charming. He has women falling at his feet so to speak, but at times he is shaky and on the verge of what seems to be a panic attack. He sees Madison Taylor in his office building and thinks she might be the girl he has been searching for.
He has his second in command and all around go-to guy Paco, check into her. Apparently, she is not one of the many “Mad ...more

As a debut novel, Access was seriously good. Expecting a standard office romance, pleasantly I got so much more. With a well written storyline and lots of heat 🔥, the dialogue was genuinely funny and witty.

What a good surprise this book was! This is my first book by Lexxi James and I enjoyed every minute of it. ❤️
Madison Taylor was at the right place at the right time or so she thought. Excited with the news she received and on a high she enters the building for an interview of a great job. That is until she runs into an encounter with a stranger that may have derailed the best lead she had enter and now may be for nothing. Madison is determined and decide she couldn't afford not to at least try. With the job of her dreams Madison feels like she is unstoppable she tries to be the first to arrive and last

Quick steamy read! For this to be a short read I was quite impressed by the storyline, usually quick reads lack one severely. Solid characters. Easy to understand world built. Secondary characters were very appealing.
Alex and Madison are a very sexy pair with an interesting backstory lying in wait. This one ended not so much on a cliff hanger but definitely a suspenseful one.
Excited for book 2!
Happy reading! DD 💕

Access really doesn't give much away. And that's not a bad thing - I think it was intentionally written that way. There's a certain languid quality to it and at times, hypnotic.
The story revolves around Madison Taylor, small town girl trying to make her way in the city that never sleeps. And Alex Drake - one very elusive, secret man. At the outset, she stumbles upon a possible real lead for a great job and pursues it - leading her to a multibillion conglomerate, D.G.I. After what starts as a roc ...more

What a great book! I was pulled in from the start, and I couldn't put it down! I love Alex and Madison, and I can't wait to find out all the secrets! I've got my own theories as to what's to come with them, but I can't wait to read the next book!!

This book isn't like the typical girls meets rich man story. The author has us from the beginning. The two characters are really great. Alex he is a mystery and he is rich powerful and has women falling at his feet. But he has secrets and when he see Madison he is falling himself. They have the hottest chemistry and it happens pretty much right when they meet. This is a part one of two books and they leave you wanting to know whats going to happen she knows hes hiding something but what? Great b

Madison Taylor was in the bathroom and overheard a goldmine of an opportunity and she landed a job interview!
Finally, a win for her after so many days of making ends meet. This is a steamy read. I loved it. I love a lovestruck Alex! I love the allure of a secret but only after 30 days. I can’t wait to read the next book Exposed! I need the secret!!!

Brand new author for me, and I have to say I was surprised. Going in I hadn't even read the blurb. But from that opening chapter I was hooked.
Scrambling to keep up with what I was reading, trying to piece it together. I'm left with more questions than anything. And that for me is the start of what I know is going to be an awesome adventure.

It’s hard to review as not much happened and then it is done. Underwhelmed 2.5 stars

Alex had definitely made an impression. He's a multifaceted man. He yearns for something, but what. And is Madison the answer he's been waiting for. Madison also is an enigma. She's seems shy and reserved. But she's passionate about what and who she believes in. I'm definitely intrigued and can't wait to figure out who is Alex and Madison.

A fun, sexy read by Lexxi James. This book did not disappoint. From the witty banter between Madison and Alex to the steamy love scenes, I could not but this book down. I look forward to reading the second book and seeing where this romance takes them.
WOW
I don’t like very much books ending on a cliffhanger but this one hooked me up since first page, has a sort of mystery promise still to be revealed I loved the chemistry between sweet Madison and the hard C&O Drake..loved the insta love the way he thinks she will be my wife loved the book.

Hooked and Bowled over.
September seems too far away to read book two - Exposed by Lexxi James. A new author and boy am I glad I got the chance to read book one - Access - an Alex Drake novel. I could not put the book down. Lexxi James has a long innings as a successful writer from the way Access story has been written. If I had more stars, I would give it a ten. Loved the way the story flowed with ease keeping the reader hooked till the end.

An interesting story.
This story starts with Alex is drawn to Madison from the first he sees her. As the story evolves it is evident that there is a mystery about Alex and why she is important to him. Alex promises Madison to tell his secret in thirty days. Have to wait for next book for more.

This was a very good short erotic story with a mystery that I cant wait to read the next book
I enjoyed Madison and Alex's story and cannot wait to find out the rest in the next installment. This is not a long book but not super short, either. Once I started it was hard to put it down.

First, I want to say I’m not much of a romantic suspense gal. Historical romance fan here! Kind of old-fashioned :) When I started this book I had to keep an open mind. I wanted to broaden my horizons so to speak. I noticed right away the author makes her characters come to life. You often find yourself drawn to Madison Taylor and Alex Drake’s goofy quirks or vulnerable thoughts, yet each figure still maintains their charm and steamy allure. The secondary characters are solid, Gina and P

A delightful office & mysterious billionnaire romance with full-fleshed characters. Witty, fast-paced and written with talent, Access is entertaining and hot. I enjoyed the easy way the author switched between points of view, and how she avoided cliches. The chemistry between Madison and Alex is powerful and heady, and I loved Paco as trusted friend and homme à tout faire. I can't wait for book 2 of the Alex Drake series to find out what Alex s hiding!

Wow, wow, wow. This is my first book by this author but it definitely won’t be my last. I started reading this one afternoon and found myself reading through the night; it was that great. The sex scenes were steamy and this book was just fantastic. I definitely can’t wait for book 2 of this series. Highly recommended.
