Selfish (Selfish Series Book 1) Kindle Edition
It was supposed to be a vacation. Five whole days on the beach with my best friend before we made the move from Seattle to New York. I never expected to meet a man who would make me change the way I saw love and sex. I’ve always believed you can have one without the other. So, when I hooked up with a one-night stand while on vacation, I never expected him to be standing in the middle of my hotel room hours later. Proclaiming to be my best friend’s brother.
It took me two seconds to decide I wanted him for one night. It took me a day to understand that he was gonna want more.
I’ve always believed in love. But I’m selfish. I want more … But can he give it to me? Or when this gets hard, does he walk away?
RYDER
I’m married to my job. I’m twenty-nine and help run a fortune 500 company. I hadn’t seen my sister in four years, and I wanted to surprise her. What better way than on her vacation? What I ended up getting was a woman who knew exactly what she wanted. And for that one night, I was it. I knew that I wanted more. You don’t spend a night with someone like her and let her walk away that easily.
I’ve always had the means to buy anything I want. Too bad, she is priceless.

- Reviewed in Australia on 5 February 2017Verified PurchaseLove this book!! Shantel writes amazing stories, leaves you on a excruciating cliffhanger, love it
- Reviewed in Australia on 28 December 2016Verified PurchaseI have to say I'm a big fan of Shantel Tessier's, I've read almost all of her books and pretty much know what to expect when reading one well I thought I knew ... until Selfish. I thought I knew how I was going to rate and review this book but I did not see this book coming... its far darker than her other reads and the BDSM is a big part of it.
While I really loved this author's "UN" series, it had strong female leads and alpha (yet still Romantic) male leads this book quite was not in the same vain - unfortunately, I had to force myself to continue to read it at times as the writing is a little repetitive and at times the plot quite conflicted and when I realised it was a cliffhanger I was GAH!
As the story went on, I absolutely adored Ryder, but I kept smacking my head with some of the reactions and situations Ashlyn found herself in. Ashlyn thinks like a woman who has never been shown love; Ryder, who hasn't seen love from his parents, wears his emotions on his sleeve.
Ashlyn is quite frankly a bit too loose for me. I am all for women's sexuality but this author really overdoes her sleeping around. This was balanced by the fact I loved Ryder. I thought Ryder was sweet, kind, caring, and charming you could see how much he cared.
While I did enjoy this book in parts, I really have no idea how to rate it or not give away any spoilers BUT I do want to warn that I wish I had known this book was going to end in a cliffhanger - there's too much unresolved. 3.5 Stars
- Reviewed in Australia on 5 April 2020Verified PurchaseLoved everything about this book about good friends, moving on and new relationships and one night passion can be just that or can fate play a hand in forever. Highly recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
Verified PurchaseI loved the main characters in this book. It starts off with a bang, and continues. Lots of push and pull between the characters, and love the intro of another building relationship with the side characters.
Definitely recommend and diving right in to the next one. Adult romance with spice.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved these books
Verified PurchaseAshlyn and Ryder, what a couple, and what a story. This story goes in so many directions, it has love, heartbreak, revenge, and a myriad of other emotions. I read the first book, but skipped the second because it wasn’t the conclusion to Ashlyn and Ryder’s story. Book 2 is Becca’s story. I couldn’t wait, so I skipped to the third book to finish their story and I’m so glad I did, it was Awesome. I definitely recommend their story. Just a heads up though, if you don’t like explicit sex, then these books aren’t for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Selfish...What an ending..!! 5*+
Verified PurchaseOh my goodness Shantel Tessier has done it to us again... I need the 2nd book Selfless now.!
Why do I always feel nervous about the ending of every story from this author, that's how I felt this time and I hadn't even finished the first chapter, it's because of what she has done previously with all her endings, whether it be the a shock that is totally heartbreaking, a twist that makes you think one thing when it's actually another and then having to wait for the next book or just the shear anticipation of the outcombe.
The first couple of chapters we are introduced to most of the characters some more important than others but they all play a part regardless. As we get half way through chapter 3 its the start of the vacation in Florida for Ashlyn, Becca and Conner and Ryder and Jaycen, this is where the story starts to take hold, you know it's going to be brilliant because Ashlyn has already attracted your attention with her fabulous personality and her kick ass attitude and she hasn't even met Ryder yet.
While contanplating Ashlyn we have Conner to contend with and it doesn't take you long before you have him worked out... there's always one and he's it!
Everything's forgotten about once Ryder comes on the scene, together with Ashlyn they are quite the pair vying for each other's attention in equal measures.
At this stage we have no idea what this story has in store for us, we can only speculate and once Ashlyn and Ryder begin to form a relationship of sorts we have to wonder about Bradley who sort of gets forgotten about he might be back in Seattle but he's there all the same and you know that somewhere down the line he's going to pop up. Ashlyn really should have put him in the picture and told him about Ryder but she never thought she needed to and so it ended back firing on her, she never saw it all happening the way it did... miss understandings to say the least and before you know it Ashlyn has lost Ryder and Bradley. At this point I was more worried about Ryder because let's face it the way he stormed off in a rage and drove away in his Escalade that was my main concern not worrying to much about Ashlyn's state of mind but it looks very much like I should have... oh my goodness and this is what I'm on about Shantel Tessier doing what she does best creating turmoil.! And let's not ignore Becca and Jaycen while we're at it I was waiting for Ryder to find out but it looks like we'll be waiting some more.!
Dispite everything that goes on throughout this fabulous storyline it is a beautiful love story.!
Please please hurry with Selfless..
Thank you .
