ABOUT THE BOOK:

From USA Today Bestselling Author Nikki Ash comes an all new standalone romantic suspense…

Micah

From the first time I saw Sienna Bardot dancing on my stage, I was mesmerized. But after booking a private room and buying her time, I want more than just one night.

She thinks by telling me that she’s waiting for love and marriage it’ll scare me away, but what she doesn’t understand is that I plan to make her mine in every way.

When her life is threatened, I would do anything to keep her safe—even if that means forcing her to take my last name.

Sienna

Micah Alexander is a man used to getting what he wants, and I’m a woman used to having my choices taken away.

The sexy club owner thinks he can charm me, but it’s never going to happen. I’m dancing my way to a better life—one that doesn’t include making the same mistakes my mom did.

But when her sins come back to haunt me yet again, I have no choice but to turn to the only man who can save me—and hope letting him in doesn’t put my heart in further danger.

I sit in the same chair I sat in last night, and she performs a similar routine to the one she performed for me before. Her outfit, music, and moves are different, but the outcome is the same—her gorgeous topless body dancing to the rhythm of the song.

When her eyes once again lock with mine, they widen in shock, then turn into thin slits, trying to convey her annoyance with my persistence. But like the perfect performer she is, she doesn’t break out of her routine. She saunters off the stage like she did last night and gives me a lap dance.

Only when she’s grinding on me tonight, I lean in, our faces close, and visibly inhale her intoxicating scent, trying desperately to resist the urge to touch her.

“What are you doing?” she breathes, coming to a halt on my lap. “You can’t—”

“—touch you? I know. But I can smell you…” Our eyes meet, and her breath catches. “I bet your cunt tastes the way you smell.” I make it a point to lick my lips, drawing her attention to them. “Sweet with just a hint of spiciness. Intoxicating…” I lean in so close, our breaths are mingling. “Addicting…”

Her lips part in a sensual sigh and her thighs, which are wrapped around my waist, tighten, telling me my words are affecting her. But of course, nothing worth having ever comes easy, so I’m not surprised when instead of giving in, she says, “Off limits,” and then climbs off my lap.

I watch as she stalks off—collecting her clothes along the way—and then disappears behind the curtain, leaving me wondering how many more times it will take before she finally gives in. This was only the second time, and I’ve already got her squirming in want. Another couple times and I have no doubt I’ll have her on all fours, screaming my name while I pound into that perfect c*nt from behind.

The Risk of Falling by Nikki Ash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story was a #swoonfest on steroids! I read it about a week ago and still today, going over my reading notes to write this review, I AM SWOONING! I’m not much of a blurb reader, especially with authors I tend to auto-click, but I did read this one and I was expecting some sort of drama from the story, but holy #feels people! I cannot sing this story’s praises enough!

Micah Alexander is a thing of beauty. I know that may not sound “manly” enough to some, but it is absolutely the perfect descriptor for him! The spark between him and Sienna was instant and even though Sienna had walls of steel built around her, he persevered and yes, obviously won the girl but he won me too! I want this man in my life! To be honest, this story was so real and relatable that I want them all in my life. Okay, I could do without Sienna’s mother (sweet Jesus, she tested me), but everyone else can gather around me!

I love a good story where the hero falls first and fights for the girl and Sienna deserved that kind of man in her life! Nikki wrote the perfect story for all characters involved and didn’t miss a single beat with any plot-points! I am ridiculously on edge for what’s to come in this series, because Ellie, Ellie, Ellie … what kind of shenanigans are you up to?! *raises eyebrow*
