ASHLYN
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.

    This was a great book, took me a few chapters to get into it but once I did I couldn’t put it down!

    Ashlyn has a rule – no more than one night with a man, the only exception to that rule is her best male friend Bradley.

    Ryder is married to his work; he enjoys women but is not looking for a serious relationship.

    Whilst on holiday with her best girl friend, Ashlyn meets and sleeps with an amazing guy only to find out the next day it is her best friends brother, Ryder.

    Ryder cannot get Ashlyn off his mind and he is determined to have her whatever the cost. Can he convince her they are worth the risk? What will happen when Bradley shows up to declare his love for Ashlyn?

    This book ends on a cliff-hanger and I cannot wait for the conclusion.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Selfish...What an ending..!! 5*+
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 January 2017

    Oh 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 .

    I don’t like to give away plots in my reviews.
    Ryder and Ashlyn have a one night stand. Yea right. No one night stand happening when it turns out said one-nighter was with your best friends brother. Whoops.
    The chemistry between the main characters is intense. And while they try to leave it as a one night stand they cant help being drawn to each other. Or rather Ryder keeps chasing. The secondary characters are well portrayed as well and I would love to see more of them.
    I loved how Ashlyn wasn’t just a swooning girl, she was pretty assertive and knew what she wanted. Ryder while a total alpha was funny as hell and charming. The whole story was fun and exciting and I cannot wait for book two. Give me book two…………. Damn Cliffy

    I'm not one of those people who gives the story away in a review, as I think you should read the book and make you're own opinion on it & I hate spoilers
    I just love how Shantel brings the characters to life on the pages, I'm rooting for Ash & can't wait for Selfless.
    The book... it's hot? I want me a bit of Ry!! Did I mention it's hot, sorry distracted by the thought of Ry! it's hard to put down, it grips from beginning to end, I say get it bought!
    Come on Shantel, don't tease, when is Selfless out?!! LOL x

The characters are so lost that you can honestly see them go through journey of discovery of love and themselves. Can’t wait for the next book to see what happens to main characters

    I 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.

    Reviewed in Australia on 28 December 2016

    I 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

    Ashlyn 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.
