Paying Daddy’s Debt

Alexa Riley is known for quick, sexy, fun reads with dirty talking, incredibly hot alpha men that do not take no for answer and they did not disappoint in Paying Daddy’s Debt.

The only thing Jasmine dreams off is getting away and starting a new life. After experiencing loss and disappointment, she is counting down the days until graduation. Then she loses everything again. Feeling hopeless and lost, she is despondent.

Ash Carpenter has been captivated by the schoolgirl that walks by his office every day. Even with the unflattering clothes she wears. But there is something about her that calls to him. And she will be his, no matter the cost. After years of living in the dark, can she be his light?

So Ash finally decides to find a way to make Jasmine his. He swoops in and rescues her and whisks her away to their own happily-ever-after, but can he be trusted? What are his intensions?

I enjoyed Paying Daddy’s Debt. It was a fun, sexy, over-the-top read, though lower on the sexy and steamy than their normal, still a very entertaining read.

Happy reading!

I've never written a book review before, but this book was an insult....not because of the explicit sex, but because of the lack of character development, plot, and any sort of realistic series of events. It's like a quick fantasy during orgasm...could've watched a 3 minute porn flick and saved myself some time and mental energy.

So, we KNOW AR novellas are short, sweet insta-love and dirty steam but this was more of a essay. 85% done. Is this the NEW thing? Novellas so short you throw in another one we already bought at the end to make it seem longer ...

The plot was very AR, dude stalks girl. Girl is young and naive.

What would have worked better TO ME, if she wasn't in High School at 18, but maybe 19 and working LONG hours to support her gambling loving Dad.

The epilogue would have been better with a little more what she decided to do with her life, since she thought she had no future before.

Like an "I've was tricked" story gone right.. stalking and controlling male protagonist basically takes advantage of a minor... But it's ok since he's rich and handsome and she just turned 18... And buys her a house...
I recommend predators to read this book..

This story was a little perfect package. Sweet and sexy, with some little danger mixed in. I love Ash. He's dark and possessive hero, who has this sweet side, which is only reserved for Jasmine. A really fabulous story for a quick read.

Okay so this book, although super sexy, was also very sweet!!!
I mean, come on with the "I've been waiting for you my whole life" from Ash *swoon*!
And poor Jasmine, losing all that she had with her mom dying and her dad basically selling her to pay off his debts .. talk about your terrible upbringing right?!
Even though this is a short story, I'm happy that both Ash and Jasmine got everything they ever wanted in life in the little while we had them ..
Ash got her, which is all he really wanted, and Jasmine got someone who actually gave a crap about her and what she wanted in life ..
I couldn't stop one I started and I loved every minute of their story ..
Definite must read if you're looking for short and super sweet with a shot of extra sexy ..

What I Loved: Alexa Riley stories are for romance fans who like guaranteed happy ever afters with big piles of insta-love, magical first time's, a ton of down and dirty, perfect marriages, and beautiful babies. Paying Daddy's Debt successfully sticks to that formula. A quick and easy read, this is a fun little romp worth checking out.

What I Didn't Love: While I enjoyed reading it, Paying Daddy's Debt is not one of my favorite Alexa Riley stories. I would have loved a tad more backstory for both Jasmine and Ash to have felt a stronger connection to them. There was also some potential interesting conflict with a menacing teacher threatening the heroine that was wrapped up too quickly for my taste.

Favorite Quotes:

"This is crazy. More than crazy, but for some reason my heart and body are screaming at me to say yes. Go with this man. He is something to you. Feel it."

"There's an old saying about the devil you know being better than the one you don't. But in our case, I truly am the prince that's come to save her."

"Everything about this man feels comforting. That must be why I'm finding it so easy to go with him. He's yours, a voice whispers in my mind."

Happy reading.

Alexa Riley goes back to the roots. Older alpha-men and innocent barely legal girl. Hot, short and dirty. The usual, but in new package.

Ash Carpenter sees her every day from the window of his office. Fascinated, he wants to find out who is a young girl. And will pay a lot to have her for himself.

Jasmin has a plan to finish school and run away from home, but one day things get complicated. Then a unfamiliar man shows up and her life will never be the same.

Welcome back Alexa Riley! Paying Daddy's Debt is a new steamy short story with a small (really small) suspense twist. It's creepy and oddly romantic. As always too short, obviously. Like always from each story we want to squeeze more and more.

But it certainly fulfills its task, that is - I do not read and enjoy this dirty, filthy words- of course not. That's why no matter how many times a new book of Alexa Riley goes out, so many people can't wait to finally give vent to their dirty thoughts, if only for a little while. Do not judge!

I'm growing more confused by Riley's book. First, they aren't really books. They are short stories that can be read in 20-30 minutes by an average reader. I get that there is a market for insta-love/lust types books. What I don't get is this this book. It seems like the author made a name for herself in the genre and after selling a zillion of them, she's gotten really lazy. Now she just seems to be cranking them out without effort, rhyme or reason.

The world building is non-existent. The characters are so flat and underdeveloped that they feel like paper dolls. None of the characters are believable or even likable. Older man spies a high school girl wearing a uniform and engages in human trafficking to obtain her. Though he purchases her for actual money from her father, the author covers her bases by making sure the barely legal virgin girl verbalizes agreement, though it is clear that it by virtue of lack of safe choices than by actually wanting a relationship. The whole story must have been ghost written by a man because no woman in her right mind would think this is remotely sexy. My bar is pretty low for suspension of disbelief but I literally just started skimming after a few pages. There was literally no story line to sink my teeth into, just tons of truly offensive and immature content.

This author is really thoughtful about putting in a freebie book, I assume to make the book seem longer. In this case the freebie is literally stupider than the first one. My advice if you want something sexy is to grab a shower, close your eyes and let your imagination run wild. It will surely be 100% than this story. I seriously have no explanation for all the positive reviews. I can honestly say her covers are thousand times better than the book. So much so that it smacks of a truth in advertising issue.

Read for yourself and leave an honest review. If more people did that, readers would be better off.

This is a typical AR story where an innocent damsel in distress is saved by the Alpha hero. Although I did love the story there was not much depth to the plot or characters, but if you are looking for a light, short, HEA, this is a great book for you. Of course the way she meets Ash is a bit over the top and there is that instalove that is a bit unrealistic, but if you want a sweet fantasy then you should one-click this one now.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

I have read literally every book Alexa Riley has published on the store and reviewed most of them as 5 stars but something about this book just seemed underdeveloped compared to her other short novels. Heck, I've read the majority of them three or four times but this insta-love is kinda awkwardly creepy, the scene with Mr. Clark at the end came across oddly unfinished, and there were more than the usual handful of typos/grammatical errors compared to the other books I've read. I will obviously give the next book or two a try but if this is the new standard I fear I'll have to find another author to round out my top three.

In typical Alexa Riley fashion, Paying Daddy’s Debt delivered!!

Oh WOW!!

Another HIT for the author couple! This one was a quick and steamy novella about mature and wealthy Ash Carpenter, whisking the girl of his dreams away. He watched her for quite a long time and had been biding his time. Until he couldn’t wait anymore to claim his woman.

Jasmin, was a shy girl, living with her no-good father and saving money for the day she could finally turn her back on her hometown and move to the big city.

Unfortunately things didn’t turn out that well.

If you love a quick, fast paced and sexy book, Alexa Riley books are the perfect choice. The authors write the best novellas, always incredibly hot and steamy. I love their books, they never disappoint and I always know what I’ll get.

Another Alexa Riley naughty romance!

This one was a wee bit different well the circumstances are. Of course this is over the top and would never happen but hell this is a fantasy and people need to stop whining how its not believable or its more of the same. Dont read it then. Its for entertainment y'all!

Jasmine isnt in the ideal life. Her mother died when she was young and her father is worthless. Steals money from her and just really doesnt care about her. She's 18 but still in high school and its the end of year and she can't wait to get out until said father ruins it for her. Ash...he's watched Jasmine from afar for awhile and wants her in the worst way. An opportunity presents itself and he jumps at it. Its a sweet romance and very quick and enjoyable.

Naive virgin school girl 18 yo meets wealthy stalker guy who buys her from her gambler dad to save her and they live happily ever after. Not a fan at all. Not steamy just kinda lame and sad. No more Alexa Riley for me.

I don't have anything against quick reads, or insta-love, if they're done right. With this, I really just struggled to see the point. The synopsis and title suggested a daddy theme, but this was just misleading. There was very little sex in general, and I was left feeling massively disappointed. Alex Riley are not bad writers, and are the masters of their insta-love/lust novella genre; but they definitely need to do better than this.

Alexa Riley have done it again with this short and sweet 4.5 star novella.
It gives you warm fluttery butterflies when you read it.
Ash Carpenter sees Jasmine Gold walking home from school one day and it's insta love for him.She lights up his world just by walking past his building and she doesn't even realise it.
She's an innocent 18 year old who's had a rubbish unbringing thanks to her dead beat dad.
He wants to be her Prince Charming of the alpha possessive variety and she wants to feel safe and comforted for the first time in years.
Their a perfect fit for each other.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

It was fun, light, cheesy and fast paced. The blurb says it all. Hero saw heroine. Found out about her. Bought her from her father but asked heroine to go with him. Then bam! They are at it like bunnies. Have small bumps to add something to nothing really. I liked it but not as much as "Paid For". Hero was too soft here compared to "Paid For" and there was no build up really. In 'Paid For' I enjoyed the build up or foreplay to them finally getting together and in this book there is less foreplay before they get to it. It's safe read. It's steamy. I liked it. Themes first time, may-dec, white knight, and poor girl - rich man.

Paying Daddy's Debt by Alexa Riley shows a mastery of taking a story from start to finish in a quick novella, while getting all the important bits in.

Jasmine is Ash's obsession and Ash is a need Jasmine never new she had, until she had him. Jasmine's life was quickly taking a turn for the worse and Ash looks like an easy out, but he is so much more than that. He is there to be her everything, her provider, protector and love.

Fast, passionate and fun, Alexa Riley does it again. I definitely recommend and look forward to reading another story by these two authors.

Ash is obsessed (of course) with Jasmine, a girl he's come to center his daily routine, around. She's too young, not glam, and has no idea he exists. So Ash has to do something about that.

Ash is another Riley hero whose obsession has no foundation or history, so he just comes across as creepy. Jasmine is as weak and unlikely a heroine as they come. "Don't talk to strangers" is the first rule of Fight Club!

Jasmine is being raised by her gambler father and is attending a private school where she does not fit in and is getting attention that she doesn’t want. She is almost done high school and as soon as she graduates she is leaving but then her father destroys her plans. Ash watches Jasmine walk by his office every day and is enthralled so when he has the opportunity to pay her father’s debts and get Jasmine in the deal he jumps at the chance. Jasmine has her prince but will she get her happy ever after as well? I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Man, the plot sounded great, so I was expecting this book to be hot and steamy, but it was disappointingly boring... There was absolutely no conflict whatsoever! In this corny 9-chapter book, some grown man falls for a high school senior who walks by his ground floor office on her way to and from school. He wants her although he has never met her, because her innocent beauty brings 'light' to his 'dark' world... What made his world dark, you ask? I sure would like to know, cause the author sure didn't tell us! Let me know when you find out... He has her investigated, finds out her dad owes money to folks, so he pays the dad's debts and asks her to come home with him so that he could take care of her... And she just goes, with minimal to no reluctance! Offers absolutely no resistance, orgasms at least 6 times with him that night, and he wakes up to her oral ministrations in the morning... The innocent, inexperienced virgin, mind you! Ugh... I don't mind short but sexy stories in between longer reads, but they should at least be interesting...

Dear Lord this book is everything!!...I was hooked from chapter one. But no surprise there I mean we are talking about our girls Alexa Riley!. And can we talk about these Characters...Ash is hell of sexy all on his own. And Jasmin cannot be any Sweeter. The book/ story was a fast read but completely enjoyable. I think at this point we can say that Alexa Riley will never do or write no wrong. They always get us out of any slump were in and I mean maaaaany of us..lol. So thank you for that ladies...And keep them coming!!!

This book had SO much potential and could have really been a much better book. Insta-love is ok but sometimes you want a lot more. I love Alexa's books and this one was a short feel good book. I guess I wish it wasn't so short and had a ton more

Of course we say #AllThingsAlexaRiley we just love anything they write! This book was a little different. I was thinking it would be more doing dirty deeds (like trailer park virgin) vs instalove (which we love, too) I think in my mind the title was a little different than story. You definitely can't go wrong with anything Alexia Riley. IF, Over the top instalove with a side of sugary sweet romance is what you're looking for hit up this and everything else these two write!

Another Alexa Riley hot and heavy insta love romance. Billionaire spots a girl he has to have and will risk anything to get her. Using her dead beat dads gambling debts to manipulate him into giving over his daughter. Jasmine is a sad girl who can't wait to escape her life and be free. Freedom comes in the form of billionaire Ash Carpenter. He whisks her away from her depressive existence and makes her his queen. Hot, sexy fun as I always expect from these authors.

A sweet story of love, compassion and a very dominant alpha male.

He will do what it takes to have her and keep her.

She is timid and forlorn. Her one way out of the hell she lives in is stolen from her.

He steps in. Read their beautifully, sweet and tender story. It is worth it!!!

An interesting, if unrealistic story, but then it's fiction. And hot, hot, hot fiction at that. This is the story of a man so enraptured by a school girl that he pays off her father's gambling debts and sweeps her away to a life of luxury and love. It's short. It's sweet. It's fun. Just enjoy it for what it is.

Short and sweet.
Ash is a stalker, but luckily not an evil one. He fell in love at first sight and then did everything he could to find out how to get Jasmine in his life. Good thing jasmine was very receptive to his way of thinking.
A teeny tiny bit of conflict with an overzealous teacher and an uncaring father, other than that it is all Ash and Jasmine, getting to know each other and a sweet epilogue 5 years in the future

A true quickie!
Wham bam thank you Alexa!
Short, fast and served its purpose.
Insta-attraction, insta love story between 18 year Jassmine and older guy Ash.
She's trying to get away from her low life father and Ash comes to the rescue and promise to take few of her.
Alexa knows how to deliver an enjoyable read, in a genre that for me is getting played out.
3.5 stars.

In typical AR fashion, Paying Daddy’s Debt is a short, sweet and sexy story with an obsessed hero and an innocent young woman.

Jasmine is counting the days until she can leave the home she shares with a neglectful father. She’s been patiently saving money so when she graduates high school she can pursue her dreams of working with plants and flowers. But when she finds all her life’s savings gone, she falls into despair.

“From first sight, I knew you were the missing piece in my world”

Ash took one look of Jasmine on her way to school one day, and it was all he needed to fall for her. Now he’s been biding his time and looking for a way to make her his. As her dad’s debt around town piles up, he sees his opportunity and goes for his girl. But will she go with him to pay off her father’s debt?

Ash was way past the mark of obsessed and diving right into stalker territory, he only had one goal in life…

“If you want me inside you, I’ll be bare, and you won’t use anything to keep me from getting you pregnant. You’ll be bred as soon as I’m inside you. Because I’ve never wanted anything as much as I want you.”

Making Jasmine’s every dream come true was his new goal in life, alongside putting his babies in her. What’s a little breeding fetish if not the spice of romance?

Jasmine was a quiet, shy girl in a less-than-great world. Along with a more than healthy sexual appetite, Ash awakens in her the hope for a better life and a future.

Between the title of Paying Daddy’s Debt and that blurb, I must confess I was expecting this to be one of the more raunchy stories by the Riley duo. Still, it was sweet and sexy with hot shenanigans aplenty and the typical feel good, happy feeling result after reading.

*I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book*

Jasmine and Ash are brought together under less than stellar circumstances. He is an older man with a younger woman. Their chemistry is very hot. The question is can they be happy together. ? Can they overcome the shadows in their lives and find love together? Pick up the book to find out. I am voluntarily leaving a review after receiving an advance reader copy of this book.

This short book wasn't even good enough to finish half of it. Too unreal to even try. It almost seemed as though the guy was a pedophile and the girl had no idea what the real world was but somehow knew what she wanted sexually? Not even worth it free.

This book is pure nonsense. A few of the passages were God,the parts about her backstory and why she acted the way she did, but as soon as the male lead came in, the whole book ended up being trash. I would have preferred more backstory, not a white horse tail tale.

It was a story that pulled at the Heartstrings. It made you feel a part of the story and you root for both the heroin and the hero. Even though you haven't gotten there yet you want a happy ending. When you get to the end you will still want more.

Another amazingly sexy read from Alexa Riley!!! Everything their writing is and more!! Sexy? Yes! Hot? Yes! Over-the-top??? Heck yeah!!! Ash is your typical, I'm going to have her no ifs ands or buts about it, but with a huge, huge heart!!! He's so sweet he gave me a tooth ache!!! If you read one novella this Valentine's Day, make it Paying Daddy's Debt by AR!!

The story was confusing and made no sense. It was like out of nowhere they fell in love. Then something else happens and something happened in the past. The book is all over the place and felt a little creepy. The girl is a senior finishing up seriously this guys age is never discussed but he seems like he is in his late thirties or early forties. The way he responds is creepy. Did not enjoy it .

This book is most definitely short. There's not really even time to get to know the characters. Then they meet and the sexual relationship begins. Admittedly the sex is freakin smokin hot but the story is so quick it seems like you just get started and it's over. I highly recommend this book to everyone if for nothing else just the hot sex. Lol.

Jasmine is determined to get away from her family as soon as graduation is over. Ash sees Jasmine walking by everyday, and he's so entranced by her that decided he has to have her.. Some sexy and sweet moments, a little danger lurking around, but overall a quick, steamy and fun read. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

This is the fastest, most fairy-tale-like insta-love romance I've ever read. The sweetness combined with the dirty will conquer your senses if you're looking for beautiful promises and raunchy intimacy. The couple is made of a dark Prince Charming who makes a seedy pact with a neglecting father to win the innocent damsel and take her to his domain.

I liked the bittersweet tone of the writing as it describes a life of misery that Jasmine (cute name) is struggling to escape from. Then, her freedom and happiness arrive inside a black stallion of a limousine to rescue her from squalor and neglect.

It was very pretty to witness Ash's devotion to her well-being, his words of care and his desire for this soft beauty. It's a very short, but steamy and loving story that takes the fairy tale to the modern world.

I wish it had more chapters before she melts into his embrace, but just because I wanted to dwell a bit longer in this dreamy place.

(This is my honest opinion of a book i reviewed on my blog Literaria)

Another hot read by the amazing Alexa Riley you can't read her books without a sexy protective alpha who would do anything to keep his woman happy . I felt so bad for the h the way she was raised with a father who didn't care for her she found comfort in the park she walked by every day and that place brought her the knight and shinning armor that saved her from a miserable future .They brought each other sunshine and great pleasure I can't wait to read more from this author .
