'Hold Tight' by Alexa Riley is book Two in the series "For You". This is the story of Pandora and Royce . I have read the previous book "Stay Close" but feel this is a standalone book.
Pandora is a hard working woman who is now the head of security of her fathers company. All Pandora seems to do is work and be serious. But when Royce who is a consultant starts working there too...she having a hard time with her feelings. Pandora has a hard time letting her feelings go but Royce isn't giving up. Royce wants Pandora and he will have her.
This is a novella story with Ms. Riley usually instant love with a hot alpha male (Which I Love!).

I'd been waiting for Pandora's story, it was just as good as I thought it would be. Henry's up next

Ahhh, I got my AR fill. In my eyes AR can do nothing wrong with the stories and heroes, they are simply a wish come true. I finally got my dose of OTT alpha hero and a sweet yet quick read that made me feel giddy with joy. I liked how this story didn't have that insta love thing or at least the heroine didn't give into the relationship right away. I liked the chase and how she was her own woman first and foremost. Of course she eventually gives in and the scenes that follow are so hot. Loved it. Also, the hero is simply perfect and I wish they would make them in real life. Besides that I enjoyed to see the characters from the previous book and how their relationship evolved and that their love was stronger than ever. I wonder if we'll get to see another couple in this series, that would be awesome. As always, I adore AR books and this one was no different.

Hold Tight is another sweet, sexy instant love romance by one of ny favorite writing duo's


Hold Tight is the second book in the For you series. Pandora meets her match when she has to work with Royce.
Despite his charm and his sexy smile Pandora doesn't melt immediately. She's smart and stubborn and won't fall at the first man who challenges her.

The story is a typical AR romance where were given instant love and an Alpha male. The book had more of a plot then the first but I think it lacked some of the hear that Ivan and Penelope had. They make an appearance in the book and they are as sweet as ever

I love a book with an alpha male who is so in love with the heroine and no one writes this type of book better than Alexa Reilly. The story is dreamy and moves very quickly.

5/5 Stars!!
I loved Penelope and Royce's story it is a quick and sweet read. I really enjoyed this second book in the For You series more than the first book. There is insta-love, alpha male and a lot of passion between the couple and I loved every minute of this book! Can't wait for the next book in the series.

Hold Tight (For You #2)
by Alexa Riley

Bookish friends, *insert dreamy face*

There is just something about the way Alexa Riley writes her alpha men that just make you go DAMN (!!!) I just can’t get enough of. I don’t think there has been an Alexa book I haven’t liked.

I think we should just all ready their happy smexy words, they always write the hottest couples, with the amount of stories they have, everyone is different. just like this one.

This book Hold Tight is about Pandora, who we meet in the one previous to this but she was 18. Now she is 28 and it’s her time to find her soul mate, her one… and that is Royce. (Rolly) Damn! this man. He is so HOT and I mean WOWZah Hot! I at the beginning wasn’t so sure I was going to like it as much as I did when I finished, this one took a little while to get to the good stuff, but when they do it so good.

This book is set 10 years from the last one, everyone in the previous books show up or you hear about. I loved that. All the characters in this series, are so loveable!

I just adore, ADORE Penelope and Ivan. Ivan makes me giggle, and when the twins are together it is a hoot. I just love this series. I am excited to see what’s next. The writing and story as always perfect and flawless. Insta fluffy gooey sugary GOOD.

I really liked this story, and I think everyone who follows this series will be happy with the outcome, Pandora and Rolly are a fantastic combo!

Arc was received by publishers for an honest review.

Never had anything but fantastic books by this author and this is another one by Alexa Riley. This is a quick entertaining and very much enjoyable book. Which I enjoyed reading lazy about in the garden with nothing to do but enjoy this story. This author knows what her readers want and love and delivers each time with her fantastic books. Would recommend

I enjoyed the latest Alexa Riley offering. It has everything one could expect from her, passion, a little smut and a lot of sassy ladies and alpha males.

This is a fast moving insta love story full of possessiveness and strong characters. Pandora is a super independent strong woman. Royce is an alpha male who doesn't let her bristly exterior deter him. He goes after her hard and it's only a matter of time before she breaks and these two fall hard for each other.

"She doesn’t seem to realize the more she plays hard to get, the more I want her."

Personally I like to see a little more development between the characters before the I love you's , even in novellas. But the story flowed nicely and had a quick pace for a short and steamy read. If you're a fan of insta love and growly alpha males you won't be disappointed.

This is the second novella in the For You series, which is a spinoff of the For Her full length novel series. This story is about Pandora, who is Penelope's (the heroine from book #1) twin sister, and the daughter of Paige and Captain from His Alone.

Pandora Justice is all grown up. At 28, she is dedicated to her job as head of security at Osbourne Corp. She took over the department when her dad retired, and she's determined to give it everything she's got. She has no time, nor really any inclination, for dating. Her twin sister fell in love and got married when they were 18, and started popping out babies right away, so she just stays close with her family and helps to spoil her 2 nieces. She's never really felt like anything was missing in her life, since she is so close to her family. But, then, she meets Royce.

Royce Davenport grew up rich, but he and his 2 best friends worked hard to start their own company, with no help from their families. He runs a consulting firm, and he's currently working temporarily for Henry Osbourne at Osbourne Corp. He's trying to help streamline their processes, and make sure they are staffing the way they should be. When Henry takes him down to meet the head of security, and he sees Pandora for the first time, he's completely stricken. He's never been serious with any woman, and now all he can think about it making Pandora his. But, she won't give him the time of day, and in fact is completely avoiding him whenever possible. He's got to pin her down and make her see they belong together.

Royce and Pandora had instant chemistry, but it sent her running, because she's never felt that way with anyone before and it scared her. Nothing scares her, so the fact that he does ticks her right off. She chickens out and basically avoids him at all costs, until she figures out how to handle the situation. She and her twin sister are still very close. Penelope notices that she's having issues, and helps her come to terms with her feelings for Royce and how to deal with them.

I enjoyed this story, as I do all AR books, but I didn't like it nearly as much as book 1, Stay Close. That one I absolutely LOVED. Something about this one just didn't click nearly as well for me. There was your typical AR insta-lust, insta-love, possessive hero goodness. I liked Royce a lot, but I guess I felt as though I knew Pandora already from reading the last book, and I didn't feel like we got to know Royce nearly as well. I wanted to know more about what made him tick and why he was so drawn to Pandora, so I felt that was a little lacking.

Overall this was a perfectly enjoyable short novella, and I am very much looking forward to Henry's HEA in the final novella. I hope he gets to be as crazy stalkerish as his dad Oz was in Everything For Her!

Always love reading books by Alexa. This book was not one to disapoint. Even without having a blurb for this book you can always trust that this author will deliver a quality book. I took that chance and couldn't put it down. Hold a tight is a good title since that's what she makes you do.

Alexa Riley books are like candy. I'm so addicted to them, I can't stop reading. It amazes me how they create such memorable characters in such short stories. I've been waiting for Pandora's story, and it did not disappoint. Royce was so freaking hot that he set my Kindle on fire. What is better than a man who knows what he wants? And an underground fighter too?! A sweet guy and a bad boy all for Pandora. I absolutely adore her. She's smart, driven, and no pushover. It was so much fun seeing her get swept off her feet.

I love Alexa Riley stories because they are fun and erotic. This story continues the For Her series and this is Pandora's book. She is the daughter of Paige and Ryan and is the twin sister of Penelope.

Ten years has passes since Penelope's story and now she is 28. She is very much like her mother and runs the family businesses security division. That is where she meeets Royce/Rolls. Royce is a rich kid but is also a consultant that her cousin Henry hires.

Royce has a major case of lust/love for her but she is not ready for him. This is the story how he makes her fall in love with him. It was a little more story than typical Alexa stories. I found it less hot but much more of a story and I really liked it.

It is an arc and had a few spelling errors but at one point it mentions Paige instead of Pandora and so I hope the author finds and corrects that error before its released.
