“Why do you watch me?” Her soft voice fills my ears, warming my chest. Now here’s an excerpt from Beauty Sleeps! ❤ Quotes are taken from the arc and are subject to change in the final version. If you love quick, sexy PNR reads, you definitely need to give this series a try! It’s sweet, sexy, predictable, with an adorably sexy alpha hero, and a tough heroine that doesn’t submit easily. And when she finally finds her mate in Xavier, she’s not going to let anyone stop them from mating, especially not her alpha brother. But now that she’s had a chance at a little freedom away from Stone, working at Ruby’s bakery, she’s happy to spread her wings. Gwen is the sister of her pack’s alpha, so to say she’s been protected and sheltered is an understatement. My life is now dedicated to hers until my last breath. I would never harm a single hair on my mate’s head. He’s more wolf than man now, but one whiff of his mate has him ready to do whatever it takes to claim her and give her the perfect life she deserves with him. Xavier has been living in the woods, away from his pack, ever since the death of his mother and sister. This is Gwen and Xavier’s story, which I’d been looking forward to ever since reading Riding Red ( my review). Her stories are always so freaking HOT and fun to read – whether it’s contemporary or paranormal, Alexa Riley definitely knows how to write some smut.īeauty Sleeps is book 2 in the Fairytale Shifter series, but can definitely be read as a standalone. Come roll around in it.Īlexa Riley’s books are seriously like crack, and I can never resist gobbling one up anytime there’s a new one out (and I love that she releases SO many, SO fast). This is meant to be over-the-top, extra sweet, and lots of fun. Warning: This fairy tale contains a hero in desperate need of his sleeping beauty, a heroine who wants to mate with her beast, and an alpha trying to keep it from happening. What he isn’t prepared for is Alpha Stone keeping them apart. Claiming Gwen as his mate is all that matters, even if she doesn’t remember him. When Xavier makes his way back to Gray Ridge, one scent captivates him like no other…

Gwen has been waiting around for her knight in shining armor to show up, but years have passed since she reached her mating age, and he still hasn’t come. She calls to him in a way he doesn’t understand.Īfter he loses his mom and his sister in a tragic accident, he disappears into the woods and lets his wolf take over.

Xavier has watched Gwen for years, sneaking outside her window just to watch her sleep.
