Bundle 3: Freed / Finale

The Alpha's Captive #6-7

by V.M. Black

Werewolf Levi Harris and curvy Harper Bailey are out of time and out of chances. The have only one opportunity left to decrypt the files Levi stole from the vampire mafia—the files that will mean either their freedom or their deaths. The only catch? The object they need to do it is in the middle of the same mob boss’s house, where a swanky gala is in full swing.

Will Levi and Harper’s ultimate gamble pay off? Or will they be just another pair of bodies in the vampire’s long reign of terror?

And will Levi find with Harper the happily ever after he once thought he could never have?

About the author

I write steamy paranormal romance, particularly vampire and shifter/werewolf right now. Check out my two free series starters, Life Blood and Taken. :)

I most often compare my work to Twilight meets 50 Shades (my vampires in Cora's Choice are more dark and angsty, and the S/M elements grow more and more pronounced as the series progresses), but the names that readers most often mention are Anne Rice and Sherrilyn Kenyon.

In Cora's Choice, Cora's Bond, and the following series, I wanted to show a heroine's journey from ordinary girl to someone super tough. This is a journey of months--years, even. So many stories start with an Anita Blake-type, able to kick ass and take names from the first we meet her. I thought it would be awesome and really interesting to show someone becoming that person through tiny changes that build on each other.

My world puts a different twist on everything from vampires (they're alive) to elves (aliens) and demons (interdimensional djinn). The Alpha's Captive series features a kickass heroine out of the gate, while Cora's Choice series--followed my Cora's Bond and others--has my "big" character story line.

Yes, there's an HEA. :) But the story keeps going on!

I'm pretty sad to see this series end, I really enjoyed Levi and Harper as a couple and as characters. This is a steamy action packed ending to a well written serial. Levi and Harper are going to have to make it into and out of their enemies house without being caught all in hopes for getting the evidence they need. However, that's easier said than done, and might not turn out so well for these two.

I received this bundle via the author in exchange for an honest review.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!

***Received a copy of the ebook in exchange for an honest review, but I own both books individually!!!

Another fantastic cover, Levi is looking very awesome in either form :)

This is a serial novella series. You must read them in order, or you will have no idea what is going on.

Freed - Book 6
It is completely published at this time which is a good thing or I might have thrown my reader with the ending of this book (major cliffhanger which would break my kindle), but thankfully I’m reading it next… like in 5 minutes.

I really love Harper and Levi, and as much as I want to know what happens, I also don’t want it to end. I love all the action and the steamy scenes :) V.M. is awesome with the details, and I can see everything happening as I read :) I love when a story engages my imagination in my mind…don’t you :)

Finale - Book 7
This book was jam packed full of excitement and steamy sex scenes. I really love Harper’s ability to talk her way out of anything :) Both of them would do anything for each other, and I find that really sexy :) Their ability to have sex in some of the most dangerous of situations amazes me, and it’s very ballsy.

So this ended way too quickly for me, but I loved every moment. I really hope that we will get to see more of both of them in future books by V.M. because I want to know what happens next and does Harper get what she wants. V.M. is an amazing story teller and her vivid writing bring everything to life.

I highly recommend this serial to shifter lovers everywhere who enjoy serials. This serial is complete and a very enjoyable read :)

VM Black has converted me when it comes to serials. I found book one of this series months ago for free and put the series on my to get list when I got Christmas Gift cards. Well I received a copy of her series Cora's Bond and if you had told me the same writer wrote these two worlds I would have said no, but yes! The contrast in world's and characters is amazing and will not dissapoint!

This series is about Levi (werewolf) and Harper (human). It starts off with Levi on the run from having stolen something from an evil vampire. He car jacks Harper, only to find that woman is hard to get one over on and even harder to make upset/girly scream, even when she just had mind blowing sex on the hood of her carjacked car with the car jacker, who then turns into a wolf, and fights bad guys with a grenade launcher.

This book also has Chay ( I have a team Chay t shirt) who is a secondary character, but got his own book in the Taken by the Panther serial. I just finished The Taken by the Panther series and WOWO!!!VM Black has become one of my authors that I have on favorites and email updates so I know when a new book comes out, which is always quickly...never have to wait long! Give yourself a present and buy the escape that is VM Black's books.

Levi and Harper are buying clothes for the black tie event at Mortensen's house later that night. Levi decided that it was time to let Harper know what is between them is real and it's forever. She still a little reluctant about trusting guy cause they always leave in the end. Harper is going to get her hair and make up done for tonight when she sees trouble heading her way. Now she's running trying to get away hoping help comes soon.

Finale

Harper was being chased in the hotel and she is hoping Levi comes and help her soon when they cornered her at the taxi. Levi is trying to get out of the hotel and is hoping they are following him instead of Harper. When Levi came across Harper fighting some men he was not happy and he went and helped her. Levi is talking to Chay about what they're going to do to get in and out before anyone notices that they are there. There's a set back when he bumped into the one person that could recognize him after all these years. Time is running out and hopeful Chay comes through with getting the information of the SD card.

I received an ARC for an honest review

Freed: Levi's plan to get into Mortensen's house a second time in order to get the files unlocked all hinges on them getting into a party where he's hoping noone will recognise him. So with hair, clothes and hotel sorted what can possibly go wrong in a few hours...and fiancee??

Finale: After a very close encounter with Mortensen's men, Harper and Levi manage to get inside the house party after a few costume changes. With A bit of sneaking around and wireless router and thumb drive all in place,a bit of hot sex and the inevitable happens and they are discovered. Quick thinking and a bit of Beane's magic ensures this top team end with a HEA.

All in all this was a brilliant series, the last book seemed a bit open-ended and incomplete. I was still waiting to see if the discussion of Harper's query to be a shifter would be answered and whether the information Levi stole was going to actually be worth something to get them out of trouble. So four stars for me on this one.

[Yvonne Daniels · Rating 5 out of 5]

I gave it 5 out of 5 because it was awesome way to close and open up for the next series and it has a good amount of drama, action and fun. This story hooks you from the beginning to end, as the last two books of this series you are never sure what to expect next as Levi leads you headlong into his adventure. The combination of excitement and with Beane tech makes it a must read for a diverse group of readers. The personal relationships between Harper and Levi have a quality about them that make you feel you as if you are peeking through the keyhole at private moments. V.M. Black descriptions are well written without being excessive. You can feel the hot, steamy sex scenes,the anticlimax and feel the conclusion, but it's not last you read of Harper and Levi, as they ride into happiness as it's described to you. There is humor and fear, joy and pain. After all its a ending but it leaves you smiling and Thinking a Book "Well done". I know you will be as eager in anticipating the next series.

[Susan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Do not start this book if you have anything else to do. I could not put it down. Complex and appealing characters, including a very likable and strong female heroine and a strong sexy as sin hero. I truly like Harper and Levi together. I was emotionally invested and the plot kept me hooked from the beginning! The two are thrown into a great road trip adventure with mystery, action, character conflict, magic, steamy sex and love. Anyone that likes werewolves, shape shifters, or supernatural romances will love these stories. V.M. Black sure knows how to write them. I hope she writes lots more. Highly recommend.
I was given this ARC bundle for a fair and honest review

[Cynthia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received this as a ARC for a honest review. I may or May not post spoilers.

Now, we where left with a cliff hanger in the last book, and you will want to read these in order or you will be lost. You can also get Beanies point of view on the last 4 books in Out of Control which is also another set of books.

I have to say that this one rocked!! It went way beyond other twists that I have read in her books to date! You have love, hot hot dangerous scenes. Bullets flying, fighting ... getting away from the cops and so much more as you read this book.

It will transport you like you are really there! I am going to miss Levi and his lady now that I finished these books!

[Shannon · Rating 5 out of 5]

The final two parts of this great story did not disappoint. Levi and Harper get away from one problem to have and impromptu shopping spree with almost limitless spending. Harper finally starts to understand that Levi isn't playing when it comes to what his wolf and heart want. Their time together just keeps getting interesting. From attempted kidnapping on the street to knocking people out to swanky high-end parties these two have a weird sense of fun. Luckily all the running turns out for the best at the end that had twists and turns that I didnt see coming. To bad it had to end but i would love to see their future.

[Lory · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed Levi and Harper Adventure I hate the fact that the series has come to an end. Levi and Harper must face a difficult task entering the enemies house retrieve the data from the SD card sounds simple enough right are they going to be able to do that undetected will they be able to accomplish this goal and get all the evidence they need. So they can live HEA you have to read the book and find out. You also were also Introduce to Chay sexy panther shifter looking forward to reading more about him. But not only is Chay hot he also a tech geek that comes to the rescue overall this was a great series so sad that it's over.

[Judy Lewis · Rating 5 out of 5]

#6 Freed
Levi and Harper have to find a way to get in Mortensen's house and get the decryption device during a party. Here's the plan - buy a dress: check, buy Jimmy Choo's: check, get hair and make up done: check, run from goons: check, end on one heck of a cliffhanger!: double check

#7 Finale
Levi has rescued Harper for Mortensen's goons, and they are on their way to the party. after sneaking in, they must find a way to slip into the office and attach the wifi and thumb drive to the toaster. With Beane's help, what can go wrong. It's an ending to keep you on the edge of your seat..

[Cheryl Graham-Petit · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Alpha's Captive series is about an imperfect love that despite all the obstacles, it could lead to the most amazing things. To see the relationship between Harper and Levi develop throughout this series was great. They have a sizzling-hot chemistry.

V.M. Black has the ability to let her readers experience the journey of her characters right along with them. You can't help but feel their emotions and care for them. In Finale book, I wish the ending was a bit longer. I would have like to know what happens with Harper and Levi 3, 6, or a year after the ending.

I generally don't like serials, but when they are bundled and you don't have to wait for the next one to come out I can enjoy them. I really like V.M. Blacks writing style and have enjoyed many of her books. I enjoyed the interaction between the Levi & Harper in this story and would enjoy seeing them in future writings. I also enjoy how Ms. Black brings characters from other books into a lot of her writings, it gives the stories extra life and can help you remember characters from the past as their paths cross into the newer stories.

[Tammy Choate · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not impressed with the ending.

I've read the whole set and loved the first two bundles but this last one needed more depth, some emotion, and a longer ending. Unless I'm missing another one here it just ended not really knowing what happens on the chopper. Does Levi give into Harper's request? Does Moreston come after them eventually? What about psycho chick Veronica? But what really made it 3 stars was the fact of how they escaped?????? It was just odd and to unreal even for paranormal.

[Brittney Weaver · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love the end to this series. I love hope the relationship develops between Levi and Harper. Also the development of the characters is awesome. The story line is awesome. By the end, you are rooting for Levi and Harper hoping that they succeed and hoping the vampire loses. The twists kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was coming next. The previous cliffhangers were worth it. This is a must buy along with the other bundles.

[Janine Orlando · Rating 5 out of 5]

Harper and Levi are going to end this once and for all. Levi has no doubt what his end will be, either after this mission or the next. Harper has to make him realize he can have a future with her. Its both poignant and (just a touch) predictable. But I did enjoy following their story to the end. I love HEA's and this VM Black provided me with a very satisfying one. Cuddle up to your ebook reader with a mug of tea and a furry blanket and read this series. Its absolutely worth it.

[Roseanna · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love VM Black's world. The Alphas Captive series has given me alot more insight into this amazing world she has created. As far as Levi and Harper I really enjoyed their journey. Harper is such a strong confident woman. She just takes over when Levi messes up its perfect. Levi has nobel intentions but really doesn't think everything through. Hes lucky he has Harper there to save his butt at every turn. This is a wonderful story another must read by VM Blac

[Bobbi · Rating 5 out of 5]

V.M.Black has done it again. What a series. A great love story and an intriguing, suspenseful, edge of your chair read. We meet Chay, who is a sexy panther that is not only gorgeous, but is a tech geek who saves the day for Levi and Harper. We see him in a later series, his character is too amazing to not bring him back. A series that you will not be able to put down, combined with the fact that buying it in a bundle form you have no waiting between additions and get a great price too.

[Sheila Kennedy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Escaping the bad guys, getting the hot guy, will it happen? Does their love stand a chance?This is some seriously hot, page turning action you won't want to miss.. The story will leave you saying OMG!VM should be on permanent Auto Click! gotta love a lady who can write about Sexy Alpha men. I think I have a new book BF...you will love this story from beginning to end!

I loved this continuation of the book series. The characters Harper and Levi are great together, only if Levi will realize it. Will they finally be together or the danger find them. Love all the romance and adventure that follows them I would definitely recommend this book and any book V.M Black writes. Very talented and amazing writer! Love it!

Freed & Finale: The Alpha's Captive BBW/Werewolf Romance #6-7Amazing story with a great ending. Would love to read more of their story from here, or see them brought back in another story and be updated on them. The whole series was great.

Levi and Harper are on their way to the vampire's house to retrieve the data from the SD card. Will they get in and get out safely? Levi has finally admitted that Harper is his Mate, now will Harper accept that Levi is not going to leave her ever.


This was a great series to read. After you finish this series, I would recommend the Panther's quest as a follow-up to the series.

[Sue · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brilliant. the final instalments in the alpha's captive with Levi and Harpers mission coming to its conclusion, the whole of the series is a thrill ride and the sassy Harper is a constant battle for Levi's alpha ways but one he's more than capable of rising to the challenge of. An excellent series from the very talented VM Black.

Arc received in exchange for an honest review.

[Matiah · Rating 3 out of 5]

The final installment in the Alpha's Captive series sort of ties everything up in a nice bow. You get a happily ever after and all is right with the world...sort of. The ending seemed a little rushed, the book was short, but I think things just sort of fell off. If you are looking for a quick easy read this is definitely your book.

[Marla Ramsey · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG . if you're into shifters and vampires you must read this series. Levi and Harper are so good together it's amazing. I feel like I personally know these two. V.M. Black is an astounding author and everything I've read by her just leaves me wanting more. This was no exception

[Stacy Gallina · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nice conclusion

I enjoyed this series and I was adequately happy about the ending. However, I would like to know if Harper is ever changed into a werewolf and if the vampires are ever destroyed or beaten. Overall, I liked the series.
