New York Times and #1 ebook bestselling author Alexa Riley returns with Stay Close, the first novella in a brand-new series spinning off from the bestselling For Her books.

A former Russian mafia soldier is hired to protect a friend’s young daughter, but he knows he’ll do more than keep her safe–he’ll make her his. Forever. < p>

If she were to simply whisper my name, I would be at her feet, begging to touch what I shouldn’t, taste what doesn’t belong to me, run my hands along the sweet innocence she taunts me with.

Penelope Justice is eighteen, old enough to graduate high school but—according to her parents—not old enough to live without 24/7 security. Practice has made her an expert at ditching her bodyguards. One look at Ivan and she never wants to run again.

I’ve been hired to protect her.

I can’t help but think that perhaps someone should have protected her from me.

Ivan steals the breath right out of her lungs, something no boy has ever done. Then again, he's far from a boy. This man, this man who looks like he could kill someone with the flick of a wrist, is everything. He is her future.

I can’t let her go and I won’t give her up. I’ve done bad things in my life, and I don’t deserve her. But I can’t do the honorable thing.

I’ve never been noble, and I’m not starting now.

I cannot even explain how much I love this author. I have read every book she has released on Kindle and am so thrilled she came to audible. I buy her books without even reading the description. She's just that good!

I Love Alexa!!!

so happy to find Alexa Riley on Audible! I've read all of their work. this one was so wonderfully done. As expected it was sweet, hot, insta love done up in a short fun package. waiting for Fiona Davenport and my guilty pleasure will be complete.

loved it!

I love Alexa Riley books. The hero is passionate and hurting. The heroine is young but capable to deal with his problems. The narration is wonderful! John Lane did a great accent with his deep voice. Sent shivers all over me. I wish there was more, but I was still satisfied with this short story.😊

Excellent Listen!

I went in knowing this was a "novella" but it still felt too short and slightly rushed. That said, if the author ever decided to re-write this story and add to it - a bit of action or mystery - I would definitely purchase it and try again. But for now, I only give it 3 stars because it was average in my opinion.

If you are looking for instant attraction, steamy scenes, an older JP hero and a very short read/listen, then yes, go ahead and get this. But if you want a little more than that, I wouldn't recommend it.

As for the narrators, both did a good job but again, nothing outstanding.

* Bodyguard
* Safe - NO cheating (no time for that 😂)
* Instant attraction
* Older H
* Virgin h (18yrs old)
* Standalone
* HEA with epilogue
* Good narration but not exceptional
* Short - very fast paced

Great if you looking for something SHORT

This audio book was too short. The plot predictable, charcters were stereotypical.
I was disappointed.
