New York Times and #1 e-book bestselling author Alexa Riley returns with Hold Tight, the second novella in the For You series.

A hotshot consultant hired to streamline Osbourne Corp. meets his match in Pandora Justice -- the more she plays hard to get, the more he wants her.

They say that like recognizes like, and the day I looked into her deep blues, I met my other half.

Pandora Justice took over as head of security at Osbourne Corp. after her father's retirement. Eighty-hour workweeks are normal; being bossed around by handsome outsiders is not. And she doesn't like it. Not even one bit.

It's amazing how easily she can lie to herself.

I had to have her. Plain and simple.

The first time Pandora sees Royce in the ring -- all tattoos and sinew, covered in sweat -- he looks at her like he's just won more than the fight. Like he won her.

I won't play games with her. I'll wait, and it will kill me, but I'll do it for her.

Royce's cocky grin with deep dimples makes Pandora melt. Once she wanted to smack that look off his face -- now all she wants to do is kiss it. For the rest of her life.

The thought of spending the rest of my life with Pandora warms the place in my chest I didn't think was alive. I've put my claim on her -- she's the one, and Im done. It's that simple.

'Hold Tight' by Alexa Riley is book Two in the series "For You". Pandora is a box you do not want to open unless you are ready for what’s inside. {wink} Pandora Justice is Paige and Ryan's daughter other daughter, twin sister to Penelope ( her novella was Stay Close). This is a standalone.
Pandora is now the head of security at Osbourne Corp now that her father has retired and Henry has now taken over the company from his father. Pandora is a serious girl, all work no play. She meets Royce who has been hired by Henry as a consultant. It is instant attraction/ heat between then yet Pandora didn’t want to acknowledge her feelings for Royce. She fights these urges/feelings she feels for Royce, their connection but Royce isn’t a man who gives up easily. Oh I loved Royce. He is so alpha and just the right man for Pandora. You get to see how alpha and wicked strong he is. Their love story was just perfect—he isn’t a man who understands the “personal space” that Pandora talks about. This is full of that insta-love, angst, smutty goodness that AR is known for. I cant wait to see what AR writes for Henry’s story which is coming in 2018 .

A love worth waiting for...

Though Royce comes from money due to his family name, he was determined to make his own way, and with his two best friends, Donovan and Ezra, he did. Their consultancy firm was a success, and when he met Henry Osborne, he just knew his life would change, however, he had no idea that would mean personally as well because that's the day he met her.

"They say that like recognizes like, and the day I looked into her deep blues, I met my other half." - Royce

Pandora may be Penelope's (see Stay Close for her and Ivan's story) identical twin, but their lives couldn't be more different. At twenty-eight, she's now head of the security department, having been voted in to replace her dad upon his retirement, and works very long hours every week. As for Penelope, she's been married ten years and pregnant with baby number three.

Royce is hired by Henry, now head of Osborne Corp., to help straighten out any issues he finds within the company, and as recent wrong changes within the security department are driving Henry's cousin, Pandora, ever closer to the edge, that's one of the areas Henry knows needs help.

Royce definitely wants to learn everything he can from Pandora...about herself. As for Pandora, she's certainly intrigued by Royce, though she tries to hide it, but she also knows she's missing something in regards to him, and when she and a friend stumble upon him participating in a fight club, she figures it out. *Crap, I just broke the first rule and talked about it. LOL*

That night Royce and Pandora's explosive chemistry is undeniable, but Royce isn't sure Pandora is ready for all he wants from her, and with her. But Pandora is done running from what he makes her feel, she's ready to accept it.

There's no questions to ask. This is an Alexa Riley book, which means Royce and Pandora get their HEA because nothing and no one could stop it from happening. Though I do wonder if Donovan and Ezra will get their own stories. *fingers crossed*

One-click now and follow along as two people meet and begin the life fate has planned for them.

**I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.**

4.5 STARS! Romantic, sweet and smoking hot!

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2017

For me, curling up with one of Alexa Riley’s steamy, instalove novellas is one of the ways I get away from it all. It’s pure escapism reading, and I’ll be honest, I can use that once in a while. Over-the-top obsessed, all-alpha male doing whatever it takes—and I do mean whatever—to get the (virgin) girl of his dreams? Yes please! This talented author duo was made to write this genre. I suppose my inner feminist should be screaming in protest at this repeated choice of reading material, but she’s silent. It’s a fantasy, and it’s totally okay to lose yourself in the heat of the moment with a bit of fictional fun.

Romantic, sweet and seriously hot, Hold Tight featured a strong heroine and an even stronger hero. I loved Pandora and Royce together. I loved how she didn’t just capitulate to him and gave him a run for his money—albeit a short run. This was a quick ready, full of sexy tension and lots of fight. I devoured it, and I enjoyed every single minute of it. Hold Tight by Alexa Riley gets 4.5 smooches from me!

I really enjoyed reading this story. She was so like her mother. So strong and fierce, but not with her twin. He knew the instant her saw her, and felt it the second he shook her hand that she was his forever. It took her twin to remind her what was important, and she took the leap right into his waiting arms. Swoon. Loved their growly epilogues, that was their perfect forever love.

In Pursuit of Pandora

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2019

When the head of Osbourne Corp introduce Royce to his head of security Pandora Justice, something about her triggered so many emotions within him that he just knew that he had to find out everything about her because he realized then and there she is his other half. But nothing has prepared him for the difficulties he would face in trying to get to know Pandora and putting his claim on her. Frustrated with her refusing to give them a chance, Royce made his intentions towards her clear and left the ball in her court.

Pandora is fascinated by the new consultant Royce, hired to help streamline their hiring process and more. Something about his whole persona has awaken multiple emotions within her that makes her crave his attention and have her running scared. Royce putting her on the spot and deciding to cease pursuing her as her flustered and hurting for his attention. Not knowing what to do, she seeked advice from her twin sister Penelope, hoping that fresh eyes and ears might be able to give a better perspective on her situation.

'Hold Tight' by Alexa Riley is Book Two in the series "For You". This is the story of Pandora and Royce... and what a story! I have read "Stay Close" (book 1 in the series) and feel this is a standalone book.

I've been waiting for Pandora's story after reading Penelope's story.
Pandora is the head of security at Osbourne Corp and she’s obsessed and focussed with her stressful job and does not have time for relationships. That is until she meets her new hot shot consultant, Royce Davenport...

Pandora doesn’t like being bossed around by handsome outsiders and she knows how to keep Royce on his toes with her sassy mouth. I liked how she challenged him and didn't just fall at his feet.

As with all this dynamic duo's books... this is a fast paced, fun read filled with instant lust, instant love and an OTT jealously protective hero. The steam factor is off the charts and as always, the epilogue made me swoon, smile and sigh.
