The Alpha's Captive #1-3
Bundle 1: Taken / Pursuit / Flight
Curvy Harper Bailey’s ordinary life was turned upside down by a chance encounter with the handsome werewolf Levi Harris. On the run from the vampire mafia, he pulls her into his high-stakes world—and straight into the crosshairs. Soon she’s got no car, no job, and not even any dry clothes.
To make matters worse, Harper’s falling for Levi hard at the most inconvenient time. And he seems to be developing some very definite ideas where she’s concerned, ideas she’s not so sure she wants to be a part of.
Harper just wants to get through the next couple of days alive—and heart intact. Whatever Levi’s plans might be.

About the author
V.M. Black
52 books410 followersI 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!

The Alpha's Captive Bundle 1-3:
I gave the first three books five stars and this is a great start to a AWESOME series. V.M. Black is a very imaginative and creative author, her characters are funny, strong, and will make you smile while reading their story.
Taken book I
Action full, dramatic and very hot sexy scenes. When Levi fixed Harper flat tire then stole her car, leaving his Ducati motorcycle behind, would chase him a hot guy for your car or his body. Levi has stolen from a very bad vampries and is on the run and needs to change his bike with any car or truck. He nevers expected to take advantage of Harper but he needs to get away. But than they never would have thought of events that happens next to them. The first book will have you wanting to read the next book in the series.
Pursuit book 2
Now Levi has Harper too running for their lives. As they are traveling Levi can smell Harper's arousal and that pleased him but he wasn't sure that he would be able to keep them safe. Because he knew that the Vampire wanted him dead. Can Levi get the SD card to his friend Beane? This is another action filled drama that is very entertaining . Book two just keeps you wanting to read the next book.
Flight book 3
Somewhere place to go, after leaving Walmart, Harper told Levi about a hunting lodge she knew of, so Levi stay in his wolf form with Harper on his back, he got them there safely. it’s time to check Harper for injuries and hole up for the night. But vamprie found them and they had to shoot their way to safey. they still need to get to Beane so he could retrieve the data from the SD card. There's a lot of action with hot guy and a woman with curves and with bullets flying all over the place. And again book 3 keeps you on edge for the next book. A MARVELOUS read.

Taken, Pursuit and Flight are short stories or serials that are great quick reads. This series revolves around Levi and Harper both of whom seem to have their own issues. Levi is fleeing from real trouble while Harper just wants to heat things up in her life. The two of them together create an exciting and intriguing story that captures your interest from the beginning. This werewolf might not be able to handle the confident curvy gal who doesn't fall into the delicate flower category.
Just to be clear, BBW stands for big beautiful woman. :)

Harper Bailey’s ordinary life takes a turn to the extraordinary when she gets caught in werewolf Levi Harris’ run from the vampire mafia in this exciting paranormal romance.
The reader can’t help but be pulled in immediately as it is obvious that Levi has just pulled off a major trouble causing event and the excitement just keeps building from there with high speed chases and lots of thrilling action scenes as Levi and Harper barely stay ahead of the vampire mafia. The well written scenes and details make it easy for the reader to become immersed in the story while the intriguing events ensure that there is never a dull moment.
The fast paced and smooth flowing plot thrills readers with lots of suspense, action and romance while these strong, compelling characters demand reader’s attention as they draw you into their story. All the excitement doesn’t come from the bad guys because Harper and Levi’s chemistry is explosive and their personalities are quite exuberant which keeps the relationship full of pulse pounding tension as they come together in heated clashes and scorching passion.
This is only the first three short novellas in this thrilling serial and each one ends in a cliffhanger but I have to say that they have certainly got my adrenaline pumping and I can’t wait to find out what happens between Harper and Levi next.

It's OK
If you want a romantic read, this series is a little lacking. It is more like a comedy of errors with a dash of what the....? And a little bit of sex. The characters are quirky. I was expecting more, and the werewolf bit is not so paranormal then it is just a human that is more supernatural, like healing, changing to a wolf.
There really wasn't enough character building except for the frantic emotions that are all over the place. Or maybe I just didn't like the way it was written. It didn't really hold my attention enough to get the rest of the series.

It was alright. I felt very dissatisfied with the way it cut off and not connected enough to the characters to get the rest.

The serial format was really annoying

Loved this series,but it would be better if it was one or two full size books instead of a bunch of little ones

Harper was just silently going along in life when Levi entered it and caused a treble that can never be closed. She learned there are entities out there that would make a grown man pee in his pants if seen. Levi was just trying to get a leg up for his pack by stealing something that wasn’t his. He didn’t think he would run into anything that he would also want to be his. These two have a merry chase on their hands with a vampire on their trail and the hot sex they have when they manage to stop for a few minutes. Everything is up in the air including their feelings for each other but hopefully things will clear up with the continuation of the story.

Alpha's Captive
A werewolf/BBW romantic adventure that is written and published in serial format. This bundle contact the first three instalments.
There is a lot of hot sex which at times threatened to wash out the actual storyline, but by the end it got back on track. My favourite thing about it though was the humour. The witty quips and comebacks woven throughout made it a great read for me.
Obviously being the start of a serial, there is a dilemma at the end so be prepared to carry on purchasing if you want to see how it ends.

Great story line. Harper drives her car (baby) and gets a flat while she's changing the tire Levi, shifter on the run from an evil vampire helps her change the tire and steals her car. Harper frantically hot wires Levi's Ducati and catches him yelling him she's going along for the ride. You'll laugh and than get mad at Levi. Cannot wait to read the rest of this series. Must read...

June 15, 2020In the first chapter the hero falls butt first out of a window and hops, buck naked, onto his Ducati. On the second chapter, he stops to help the heroine change a tire... and his birthday suit isn't mentioned???

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!
***Received a copy of the ebook in exchange for an honest review
The cover is awesome!! Levi is looking very sexy :)
I’m starting with the must knows first :) This is a serial, and for those who don’t understand what that is: it is like a tv show with several episodes and this one has 7 books. You must read them in order to understand, and you probably will scream when or where it ends :) Good news :) All episodes are out and no waiting is required :) Some authors do serials really well and V.M. Black is one of them. I say this because even though it is a whole book by itself, I think it is an art to pick just the right place to end where it does feel like you made the reader walk into a wall to stop the story. She ends at a good place where you have a little closure, but you definitely know there is more and want to read it :) This of course is for adults only because it has some very steamy scenes. This bundle has the first 3 books (parts, episodes, whatever you want to call them) in it :)
Taken - Book 1
Levi and Harper are two great characters :) Harper is strong and won’t let anyone taken anything from her, and she is adventurous :) I love her spunky attitude and that she keeps surprising Levi with the unexpected :) Levi is sexy and sort of mysterious, and of course Harper doesn’t realize why she is so taken with him other than she has a thing for bad boys :)
This episode is smoldering with awesome adventure and action :) I can’t wait for more :)
Pursuit - Book 2
Levi and Harper are both still unsure about trusting each other, but both feel this uncharacteristic pull towards each other and are just going with it. I know this episode is supposed to be longer, but boy was it over quick. I think it felt that way for me because I was so engrossed into the story. Tons of action, gunfire, car chases, and more.
Flight - Book 3
Definitely lots of action and some steamy bits :) So adults only!! Levi and Harper are still on a mission, and they are not having much luck. Of course they are messing things up with each other making me yell at the book. I’m hoping they get it together :)
V.M. does a great job with the descriptions. I can see everything happening in my head and get sucked right into the story. It was torture to not go straight into the next episode and by pass my review, but I couldn’t do it :)
I recommend this serial to all my wolf lovin’ friends especially if you are already a fan of V.M. Black. Off to read the next one :)

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. She never misses a beat and it just gets faster paced and builds a world that is believable and characters that while enjoyable are not cliche. I will not tell you where you go to get supplies to fight an evil vampire as I do no spoilers, but it was one of the most awesome scenes as I could so picture it!
VM Black is my new to follow author! I cannot believe how quickly she puts out a new book so I am not left hanging..but oh the hang in her books is soooo good!! You just can't find an author who can write a cliffhanger that is good and not make you want to throw your kindle!

Taken: Levi stole something from a powerful vampire, now he's on the run on his Ducati, except they know what he's driving. Harper is on the side of the rode changing a flat tire on her Baby. Levi helps her then takes Baby! She is incensed, so goes after him on his Ducati, LOL what a chase. They end up on the run together, and what a tangled web ensues.
Pursuit: Levi stole a dagger from the vampire with an SD card inside with all the info needed to take the guy down. Levi removed the card and he and Harper are trying to find a card reader to download and send the files to his buddy. The problem is wherever he and Harper go to hide the bad guys keep finding them. Levi finally realizes they must have a tracker on them but can't find it. Then realizes when he removed the SD card from the dagger there was a little bump in the bottom of the handle cavity. He only kept the dagger because it was a valuable antique and he's in the biz of selling them. He finds and removes the tracker and they take off for his buddy's secret compound.
Flight: Levi and Harper finally arrive at the compound and they all work on deciphering the SD card. The relationship between Levi and Harper starts to change and there are some sparks. Then someone finds them and they have to take off again!

Taken
Levi, Levi, Levi. Trouble should just be his middle name since it keeps finding him. This first book was really good. The way you first meet Levi is why he should change his middle name. His reasoning was awesome but not fully thought out. Then in comes Harper who I would love to have as a best friend to back me up. She can hold her own while also being a sexy curvy woman. The cliffhanger ending had me like "what happened to the next page". I can't wait for the next book.
Pursuit
This was one intense ride that picks up right where we left off. Levi and Harper have very little time to breath before the next wave of threats comes knocking on their door. They show that they are two people that can work well together in crazy situations. Mega stores and highwys beware of these two. Keep the steaminess coming also. The high suspense in this series keeps you going. Next!!
Flight
Drama continues for these two in this race for safety. The chase that was thought to be over only picks up with even more intensity then I thought possible. Levi keeps showing us that he isn't just strong and smart but cares about others like his family and maybe even Harper. I loved when they were hitch hiking and got the guy to take Harper and her "dog" to their destination. Whats going to happen next?

I was gifted this book for an honest review.. What a freaking cool ride!!This story starts out with beautiful curvy Harper being broke down with a flat on the side of the road. What comes next is the sexy hot shifter wolf Levi. He plans on helping the lady, but only so he can steal her car, he's on the run from the vampire he stole the jeweled dagger from. Now the fun begins! Harper is not just an woman, she's a gun toting, sassy, in your face kind of gal and Levi has no clue that this woman is gonna give him a run for the money as they say, no one steals her baby. Action packed book with so many twists and turns, it will have you on the edge of your seat, laughing at some of the situations they are gonna come across. This is a mix between a James Bond movie, hilarious Wal-Mart episode, jumping in the lake and hot steamy sex scenes. Loved this 3 part book!!! Ya have just to go grab this bundle. Awesome..

The Alphas Captive books 1-3, what can I say except wow, I was drawn in from the first page.
Levi and Harper have great chemistry. They meet when Levi steals Harpers car after stealing information from a dangerous vampire, Harper wasn't about to accept that, her car is her baby so she gives chase leaving Levi with no option but to take her along, they are now both on the run trying to get the stolen info into the correct hands whilst the vamp and his organisation are in close pursuit determine to stop them.
one hot werewolf and one strong minded woman equals fireworks in and out the bedroom, bathroom, barn, woods.....
I was first introduce to VM Black's work through her Cora's Choice and Cora's bond series about agnates (vampires) these two series couldn't be farther apart but are equally brilliant, it seems VM Blacks talent has no end!
I can't wait to read the rest of this series.

#1 Taken
Its just Harper's luck, she is stuck on the side of the road with a flat on her car "baby". Next thing you know, super sexy Levi has stolen her baby. What's a crazy girl to do but Hotwire Levi's bike, chase after him, and get him to let her tag along. Love the cross over characters from the Taken by the Panther Series.
#2 Pursuit
Harper and Levi flee the farmhouse looking for a SD reader, instead they find a vampire and a group of humans after them. After being chased relentlessly and almost losing Harper, Levi figures sex is the best way to warm up. I agree!
#3 Flight
Harper and Levi leave the cabin in search of safely and a new card reader. They run into trouble on the river and its up to Harper to save the day. And a pair of shoes!

You know...I would have liked these better if I HAD A COMPLETE STORY!!! Stretching out the story in bits to get the reader to buy the rest of it is just wrong, in my opinion. Sure - I got the first three stories free, thinking that it was a complete saga. Something that - if I liked - would prompt me to actually BUY more of the writer's work. NOT! I don't like being made a sucker. As interesting as the story was, I won't even bother with finishing it. Which is too bad, as it made me change my ideas on not reading werewolf/alpha stuff, in general. I'm sure that I can find similar fiction in ONE COMPLETE BOOK!
I don't like reading a serial when I expect a novel, hence the 2-star rating.

I really enjoyed the...
This book was good. I saw book, even though technically it is a bundle of 3, because they were short. The sex scenes were amazing and described so deliciously. Levi was hot and Harper had lots of spark and wasn't afraid of taking control. I'm definitely going to continue reading the remainder of the series. I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because of her stupid non-stop obsession of her car and making sure her family's stuff was ok even though she is on the run. If every other chapter didn't bring up her dumb car, I would have given it a 5. It was a free bundle and I am glad I picked it up.

I am enjoying this series. The one complaint I have is that I wish it wasn't a series. I think Harper is the total package in a heroine. She's smart, can take care of herself, and confident. She knows what she wants. She also has a healthy body image instead of the self-loathing and self-deprecating attitude you see in most BBW characters. The list goes on yet somehow the author still manages to make Harper likeable and realistic. I love the chemistry between Harper and Levi. It's not just the sex, you can really see them becoming a couple. They compliment each other so well.
I'm hooked on V.M. Black!

V.M. Black gives her readers what they want and so much more. The Alpha's Captive series is captivating, intriguing, and well-written. The characters, the storyline and discovering all the dirty secrets suck you in and keep you on the edge of your seat. There are so many unknowns to these stories that just when you think you know what is going on, Ms. Black adds another twist to throw you off. Harper and Levi have a chemistry that leaps off the page. You can feel the sexual tension between them and you can't wait to see if anything more will come of it.
