This book was everything!! Ryder is a man who is not afraid to show his emotions, whether good or bad. Ashlyn is a strong female who is very stubborn. In many ways she can come off annoying and too stubborn. I did not know this would end in a cliffhanger, grrrf how I hate them. I need boom 2 now.

I thought it was very slow to get started, but once it did I enjoyed Ryder and Ashlyn. I didn’t care for her hot/cold attitude in the beginning, and when she finally started to understand him I was ready to scream hallelujah! She has this thinking that falling in love is a tragedy. ☺️ I wanted to cry for Ryder and Bradley. They are both in love with her, and it ends with a cliffhanger so... you have to keep reading.

Holy hotness!!!!! This book was packed with sexy, lust filled, epic bedroom scenes (and public ones too). The spark between Ashlyn and Ryder was insane! Both were only looking for a good time but ended up falling so much harder than they’d ever allowed themselves. But can it last? When an old flame enters the picture, everything falls apart between these two and you’re left feeling like you were part of the breakup!
Dare I say maybe there was too much sex in this book? It was like every time Ashlyn and Ryder were in each other’s presence, it ended in banging! Became a little repetitive and expected, but it was always smoldering!
I loved the friendship between Ashlyn and Becca. You could just tell from their interactions that they were sisters by choice. I loved the strength that Ashlyn brought to the table and her free spirit. She was always so positive and sure of herself. It was impossible not to love her character.
Ryder was smart, successful, loyal, hard working, sexy and persistent. He knew what he wanted and he took it. And he wanted more Ashlyn. His feelings developed over the course of the book and I loved seeing his vulnerable side. Every drop of a pet name, every sweet kiss, just made me swoon that much harder.
The ending left me feeling depressed! I didn’t want to see these two fall apart over a misunderstanding. I hope the future books in the series continue A & R’s story!

Loved this whole series, Ryder & Ashlyn!!! How could you not :)
I came across this series as a recommendation on the BANG bookclub, on the release day of the 3 book set, which I promptly purchased and plowed through.

SELFISH is book one in the Selfish series by Shantel Tessier and is a contemporary New Adult, best friend's older brother, scorching hot romance. I've loved Ms. Tessier's work for years because she knows how to write in your face, no holds barred characters. And it's not (just) our drool worthy, alpha hero. Oh, make no mistake, Ryder is a gorgeous, dominating force of a man that a lot of women crave! Trust me, there's NOTHING lacking in that department. No, what I meant was that Ashlyn is an in your face, no holds barred, spunky little fireball and I absolutely adored her! She was loyal, fierce, tenacious and, well, SELFISH! It was fabulous to see such a strong, female character, taking what she wanted without apology. I'm not going to say too much about the plot other than there's not a whole lot of angst or crazy drama, just two bold people trying to make a go at something great. I will say that there's one heck of an insane CLIFFHANGER that had me wanting to throw my kindle, LOL!! (Well played Ms. Tessier!) Told from dual POVs with a "NOOOOO!" cliffhanger. I received, read and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
