Crowned By The King-Sized Alpha

by Olivia T. Turner

Life in the village is kind of boring.

But all of that changes when the wolves come.

These wolf shifters haven’t been in the human kingdom for centuries, but here they are, rounding up all the women.

The Wolf King is desperately searching for his mate.

He’s huge.

Dangerous.

Terrifyingly beautiful.

And out of everyone, King Alaric picks me.

He says I’m his one true fated mate.

That the moon and the gods and fate chose me to be by his side.

With a crown on my head.

This powerful, dominant king wants me to be his queen.

He demands it.

He wants heirs. Lots of them.

Enough princes and princesses to fill his castle.

I should say no.

I should fight him.

But my body says yes.

And my heart is already his.

Because once a Wolf King chooses you…

There is no escape.





Glamour. Intrigue. Desire hot enough to burn down a palace.

These possessive princes and kings won’t settle for just any woman. They want their queen. The one true love who can bring these powerful royals to their knees.

It's insta-love, hawwt, and safe. Fated mates and dual V, as it should be, so what more could I ask for? 🤭

Anyway, it's a short read, so probably good enough to pass some time.

I was going to round up to 3 stars, but a number of inconsistencies that should have been caught in editing took me out of the story.

I've read and loved Olivia's books before, and this one's no exception.

I loved how the King knew what he had to do to find his mate even if it was the last thing he wanted to do.

The chemistry between the King and his human mate was off the charts once they met, and I loved that she was instantly ok with everything, even if she wasn't a pushover.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Wild, Possessive Fairytale That I Couldn’t Put Down!

If you love dominant wolf kings, fated mates, and heroines who get swept into a dangerous world of power and passion, then Crowned By The King-Sized Alpha by Olivia T. Turner absolutely delivers. This novella is short, intense, and completely addictive.

From the moment the wolves descend on the human village, the story grabs you and doesn’t let go. Morwen starts off living a quiet, ordinary life, but everything changes when the imposing Wolf King chooses her as his fated mate. King Alaric is exactly the kind of hero fans of possessive paranormal romance crave—huge, commanding, protective, and utterly devoted once he claims what is his.

What makes this story so fun is the fast-paced intensity. The moment Alaric chooses Morwen, the tension skyrockets. He’s powerful, intimidating, and absolutely certain she belongs beside him on the throne. The push and pull between Morwen’s uncertainty and the undeniable pull of fate keeps the pages turning.

The world-building is simple but effective—wolf shifters returning to a human kingdom, royal intrigue, and the promise of a powerful queen rising beside her king. And of course, the chemistry between Morwen and Alaric is scorching.

Fans of the Ravenous Royals series will love the mix of glamour, danger, and over-the-top alpha energy. It’s the perfect quick read when you want something steamy, dramatic, and wildly romantic.

👑 A fierce Wolf King, a reluctant but destined queen, and a romance ruled by fate—this one was pure escapist fun.

Crowned By The King Sized Alpha by Olivia T. Turner is the first title I've read by this author and it was quite entertaining.
As an instalove, age gap, wolf shifter romance with main characters King Alaric, a wolf shifter desperately searching for his fated mate and queen, and Morwen, a younger human woman, it had me hooked quickly.
King Alaric has been searching for his fated mate and queen amongst wolf shifters but to no avail and as things start looking desperate a long forgotten tradition of rounding up single human women seems the only course of action. Alaric scents Morwen as his mate and the desire and lust awaken in him. Morwen, as she sees Alaric and is chosen, also feels her body and heart are drawn towards the wolf king but tradition dictates that they must wait until the next full moon before bonding. This wait sees the sparks fly, and their sizzling chemistry igniting. The plot and storyline was well paced and the steamy and spicy moments, as well as the sweeter times of Alaric and Morwen getting to know each other, all contributed to the eventual satisfying HEA.

Crowned by the King Sized Alpha is part of the multi author Ravenous Royals series.
This story follows the fates of wolf shifter King Alaric and the mate he has waited two decades for, who still hadn’t arrived by the scared night of the binding.
“Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown”
Without many choices left his advisor suggests a special ritual, the royal calling, wherein human females are rounded up and paraded before the King.
It’s this or at some point with no mate or heirs Alaric will loose his throne.
MFC Morwen is no push over and pretty feisty too, so when shifters come to gather human females she has a lot to say!
When Alaric gets a whiff of her scent its game, set, match.
Loved the story which was wonderfully written, with great characters, and fueled the narrative with passion, shifter pack dynamics, and intensity that made for an entertaining read because Morwen doesn’t make it easy for that wolf shifter King especially when his wolf decides SHE’S THE ONE!
HEA.

No wolf, no heirs, the kingdom in peril….

“Tonight,” she says, crossing her arms as she glares up at me.
Gods, she’s fierce. I’m in love.”

When you just know this will be a great read 😁. The plot is wonderful and I loved that the Wolf King Alaric is still humble at heart and wants what’s best for his subjects. Enough so that he is willing to go to the oracle who makes it very clear he needs to seek his fated mate outside the wolf pack and he does so to prevent conflict - even as he knows it won’t be fun to force human women in this way. Morwen, a human, who is one of the single women brought before the King is perfect to be Queen - she protects the other women and is not afraid of any wolf shifter - secure as her own person and is a natural leader. Lots of steam and instant attraction to go around.

Crowned by the King Sized Alpha by Olivia T. Turner, is part of the Ravenous Royals Series

Morwen is content with her life as a candlemaker in the village, even if it has become a bit mundane. All of that changes when a group of wolves decide to invoke an ancient law that allows them to take human females and turn them into brides. 

After waiting much too long for his mate to appear, King Alaric decides enough is enough, he will enact an old law and go into human village in search of his fated mate. 

There is an immediate connection and chemistry between these two and the spice level is on point. There are also sweet moments and serious build up to their encounters. I am an avid reader of everything that Olivia Turner writes. Her contribution to this series is another win.

ARC was provided by Booksprout, and this is my honest review.

ARC Review: This is King Alaric and Morwen story! This book starts with King Alaric hosting the mating ceremony during the Lunaris Vinculum for all the newly mated werewolves. But all King Alaric feels is jealousy and loneliness because he hasn't found is mate yet. Not only that but he's the most powerful werewolf shifter and he has felt is wolf in a long time so he seeks out the oracle who tells him that the reason he can't find his mate is because she isn't a werewolf and has been looking in the wrong place this entire time, she is in the human realm. He orders his men to bring all single females to him in hopes of finding his true mate. The moment King Alaric and Morwen lock eyes he knows she is his true mate. He becomes instantly obsessed, possessive and protective of her and she feels the pull to him as well, though she is a bit skeptical he will stop at nothing to prove to her that he is hers and she is his. This story is fast paced. If you love a good alpha werewolf shifter romance than this is the book for you!

Alaric feels his wolf fading and has no idea of how to stop it. He can't help feeling jealous over the matings. He was wishing he could find his own mate. Then he is told of the ancient tradition of gathering up the single human woman and sniffing to see if his mate was in that group. Morwen finds herself with a bunch of other women in a long line while a huge alpha man is sniffing the women as they go by. There is something about this woman that calls to him across the room. I loved how this author developed this story and bringing these two together. The story is very well-written and will keep you reading as these two have to wait till the next full moon to become mated. I loved every single moment of this story you will not regret delving into this new little series

[Thisbe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wolf Shifter King Alaric is not only sad for himself that he has not found his mate being 41 years old, he did not feel his wolf for the last year and the kingdom starts to become instable. He is advised to just take a queen, but he wants the sacred mating bond and the prpphecy is 'only the unbound will bind the kingdom whole', so Alaric invokes a Vocatio Regio, where human females will be brought before the king. And then he scents his mate Morwen, a strong 28 year old woman, who does not know a lot about the shiter world.
A great king alpha story, with a strong bond and two people who are bound to each other, but also fall for each other and deeply care. Also very hot.

Crowned by the King-Sized Alpha is steamy sweet double trouble awesomeness! Alpha-shifter King Alaric is noble and fair, compassionate and kind, and also feeling so alone—his wolf has gone to ground, and he is desperately seeking to save his kingdom and himself. Candlemaker and human Morwen is absolutely magnificent—filled with bravery, boldness, compassion, and a strong sense of justice. She truly sees Alaric from the moment they first meet, and their connection is electric! Author OTT builds a beautiful story, sets the scene, and drives all of us—shifters and humans alike—wild with her passionate and heat-filled writing, building to an epic HEA. Loved it!

This one was pure over the top fantasy fun in the best way. If you love dominant, possessive alpha heroes and instant fated mate vibes, this delivers exactly what it promises. King Alaric is intense, commanding, and completely obsessed from the start, and I loved how unapologetic the story is about that dynamic. The heroine’s mix of fear, curiosity, and growing desire kept things engaging, and the royal wolf shifter world felt dramatic and larger than life. It is fast paced, steamy, and very much a claim her and crown her kind of romance 👑🐺 If you are in the mood for high heat, primal energy, and a king who chooses his queen without hesitation, this is a quick and addictive read.

King Alaric is suffering, alone, struggling to keep his kingdom in order. He needs a mate, something to raise his wolf who has gone silent. His advisors gather single human women for observation and while scared at first all the woman like the look of the king. But he only has eyes for Morwen.

She is there to share his burden, share his load and I think any couple wants that; someone to be a true partner.

I loved that they had to wait and the teasing between the two made it so hard, but Alaric wasn’t going to risk anything going wrong by enjoying her before the day.

A shifter story of a king finding his mate and the human who couldn't live without him.

This book is a part of the Ravenous Royals series and focuses on Alaric and Morwen. Alaric is the alpha king of his kingdom but he is struggling. His wolf has gone silent on him and there is concern over his ability to lead the packs without his wolf. His wolf has shut down so deeply on Alaric because he still hasn’t found his mate. Due to increasing desperation to save him and his kingdom, he initiates an old system of finding his mate. When Alaric meets Morwen, his wolf finally comes roaring back and his kingdom is restored. Morwen is exactly the person he has needed to stand by his side and share his life with. This was a great story and a great addition to the series.

It was a quick read (possible spoilers ahead)
This is not going to be some earth shattering book that enlightens you to a path of self reflection (or some shite like that) 🙃 This is strictly a green flag man who has waited his whole life for his mate…and ONLY his mate.

H is a 41 year old Alpha King who is still a V. He’s been waiting on his mate. h is (I think) a 27-year old human who is also a V.
They meet and H instantly knows she’s his mate. They both want each other so bad…..only one problem. They have to wait 3 weeks to “claim” each other under the moon. 😂😂

It’s the longest 3 weeks of their lives.
You wouldn’t even know these two were Vs with the way they acted when they finally exploded together.

The epilogues were cute. Years later they have a bunch of kids.

4.5 Stars
This is another great book by Olivia T. Turner! Morwen and Alaric’s was a great read. I loved the instant connection (fated mates) and the building chemistry between these two. Alaric is tired of waiting for his mate and decides to look for her everywhere he can, including humans. Alric is able to find his mate and what a mate she is! Morwen content with her life but she never expected that she would fall hard and fast for Alaric. Morwen is not the type of women who would stand idly by; she is more than willing to stand up for others and herself. This was a great book and a great addition to this series. I can’t wait to see what is in store for us for this series and from Olivia.

I really appreciated the title; it perfectly captures the essence of the MMC. He's a true Alpha and King—a king in a desperate search for his queen. Sometimes, desperate times call for desperate measures. I also like the FMC; she shows that size isn't everything. She may be small compared to him, but his wolf and he are willing to bow down to her. Reading about these two was truly enjoyable—they tested each other's endurance and determination in a way that kept me engaged. Kudos to him for his perseverance. When the right night arrived, it was all about pure passion—no holds barred. I could really feel the love they share and the pride they have in their family.

I was well engaged from the first page and enjoyed the read. A few chuckle moments in the story and the pace moved along (which is an important part for me), no dragging out internal dialogues or repetitive points. They only comment I would make is I wish there was some last interaction between h and her friends daughter. Well, not important to the story at all it just felt slightly cut off in the moment, the scene built up to this with the two’s interactions only to end without a conclusion. Outside that this story is a hit and can’t wait to read the others in the series.

Excellent story and characters in this fast paced paranormal romance. King Alaric struck me as a highly empathetic king who sheltered everyone else from the burdens he had to carry. Morten wasn't thrilled about the prospect of being forced before some deranged beast of a king, though her tune changed long before she reached the front of the line. Their biggest difficulty, and difference if opinion, may be making it to the full moon for the blessing.😉 honestly, the fun interactions had this story flying past in no time. Definately recommend reading.

Revenous Royals is a series that has everything to provide you with wonderful and entertaining reads. The Wolf King Alaric was a good ruler for his people, but time passed and his mate didn't appear, and this was affecting his wolf. He consulted the wisdom of the Oracle, who revealed that his mate was not of his kind, and so began the search in the villages, with the shifters bringing every woman they found to the castle. Morwen was the woman destined to be the Wolf King's mate, the one who went to complete the kingdom. I loved the happy ending of this story, and I'm looking forward to the next ones.

King Alaric is at the point of giving up on ever finding his mate. Until he is advised by the oracle to look beyond the normal. Now he looks to the humans. Morwen, a candle maker in a small village, is taken to Alaric with the other unmated women. Now, as she approaches him, Alaric instantly recognizes her as the mate he has waited for so long.

Olivia T. Turner is definitely known for her over-the-top, super spicy instalove romances, this one feel a bit different from her usual style.
I would described it as
Less OTT drama, Still very hot chemistry, Adorable epilogues (two is always a treat in romance!)
And the fact that I have written a quote down so many times from the book. It really hit me emotionally. Those are the best kinds of lines—the ones that stick with you long after finishing the book. ✨.

I loved this story. This is one of those stories that will be on my re-read list. This was a quick page turner with a grab you by the heart story and lots of emotions. There was so much pain, passion, pleasure, love and some great intense toe-curling encounters!! Also loved the time lapsed epilogues. King Alaric of the wolves and his human Queen Morwen are truly an unforgettable match. "This is my honest review of an advanced reader copy, and I am leaving this review voluntarily."
