Alaska Angelini is a amazingly talented writer that with everyone of her books from the Darker reads to the lighter ones she will have you hooked if you give her a chance you will not be disappointed!!
This story is one that is easy to get lost in. I sat down to start book one thinking I’d read a few chapters before going to bed. Now here I am finishing the whole series in one sitting. The story and characters are captivating. My feels had me all over the place. Their passion and just the intensity of their chemistry made me a puddle on the floor. Devlin and his Dom stole my heart immediately he had me on my knees begging for more. The love and protectiveness seeped out of him but in such a natural way that is wrapped in his layers. Victoria is in this struggle with herself and to watch it unfold was amazing. The story keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat.
I loved this series! Whew it was so good. Devlin was a great dom and I love how he did show that vulnerable side to him but was able to switch roles fairly quickly. Alaska never disappoints and once again she killed it! I devoured this series in all the chemistry and sexual tension between these two.
This book contains all three books in the series. Devlin and Victoria meet by accident and take you on a wild adventure full of passion, lies, secrets and suspense. The story flows and has a great ending.
I thought this was a good book...interesting cliffhangers and lots of sex with some bdsm and an HEA. I would read something else written by this author.
Great news. This box set contains the entire story so you don't have to wait months to find out what happens next.
Devlin Black is a player with no shortage of women in his life. Only lately, he doesn't enjoy it as much. Especially since the night he spent with Victoria. This night she ran and left him no way to contact her. He looked everywhere. He knew there was a chance she was pregnant, but she never called. After her, his life has been nothing but drunken nights and women and he's tired if it. He wants a wife and kids. He wants a forever.
Devlin's best friend talks him into running an ad for the bachelor edition of the Sunday paper to find the woman of his dreams. After finally agreeing to do it, imagine his surprise when he sees Victoria. Only she doesn't want to be with him. Not one to give up, Devlin continues to try to see her. He soon discovers she's kept something hidden from him. He already has what he so desperately wants...a daughter. Can he forgive Victoria for lying to him about being pregnant? Can they be a real family and get their forever?
I fell in love with Devlin once he decided to get his life together. He was lonely and desperately wanted a family. His feelings for Victoria were instant, and I was seriously miffed at her betrayal. A child deserves better. Such a selfish decision on her part, regardless of her reasons. When it's obvious Devlin has changed and keeps pursuing her, the constantly pushing him away was aggravating. Then there's the mess up on Devlin's part - right after she again tells him he has no chance. Although he didn't touch another woman, they shared something. But Victoria held onto that even though he practically forgave her instantly for what she did. I wanted to knock her upside the head. She was burned by an old boyfriend and had trust issues, but seriously she went too far. Devlin is the saving grace because the man had amazing patience and didn't give up. It's worth the read for Devlin alone and overall, I did enjoy the story. It's always nice getting dual POVs so you know what each person is really thinking, and getting an ending that puts a smile on your face is even better.
I absolutely loved this book, Devlin Black is the epitome of everything that makes up a dominant. He is bossy, demanding, sexy, and bull-headed; no is not in his vocabulary — especially when someone is trying to use that word on him. Victoria is a natural submissive and thrived under Devlin’s domination, but she’d closed herself off to relationships and even with their connection she was scared to trust that Devlin was more than what she had seen.
The characters have a natural chemistry and the author did an amazing job making the reader really feel the push and pull between them. The secondary characters are also quite memorable and add to the story without overshadowing the main characters. -------
Dom Up gets FIVE stars for an imaginative spin on the BDSM genre, it’s a serious pleasure to find authors seeking something better than the status quo. The smut… well Devlin wouldn’t be satisfied with anything less than FIVE drenched panties and I already told you how he doesn’t like to take no for an answer. If you are looking for a quick hot read with a lot of heart this series is for you.
Dom Fever is a FIVE star MUST READ NOW! I give it FIVE drenched panties for smut factor. This is one of the best follow ups to a serial series I’ve read. Big kudos to the author for keeping the reader on their toes and not making it too easy to figure out what they will do in the end.
This Dom by Alaska Angelini is a complete five star read for having a refreshing new spin on a classic plot device. The characters are so well developed and the chemistry is undeniable earning the book five hot and steamy dirty smut panties. The emotional strife that the author puts these characters through ran me through the wringer. I swear they just couldn’t catch a break. Every time I thought there couldn’t be more to traumatize them with something swooped in out of left field and knocked me on my bum. I LOVED IT!!
Devlin and Victoria meet purely by accident. She's at the restaurant for a blind date and he's waiting for someone as well. Victoria is seated at Devlin's table. He's a Dom and chastises her immediately for being late and threatens punishment. You can just imagine her confusion as she's led a completely vanilla life. He quickly realizes that Victoria is not who he was supposed to be meeting either, but convinces her to stay. He managed to convince her to stay for most of the night but then she slips out and vanishes. He attempts to find her again after that night but has so little to go on it's an impossible task. All he has is her first name and a general area as to where he assumed she worked. He searched for months to no avail, and his life spirals out of control with the booze and the women. The insta-love bug hit him HARD and he's suffering a devastating loss. She's his one and only. Two years later they literally collide outside of a cafe. He's trying to get past her and get his life back together. He's ready for marriage and children. She's keeping secrets. I really enjoyed the story of how Devlin and Victoria's love story played out. In my opinion, the "secrets" weren't that big and the "lies" were understandable given the circumstances. I still haven't decided about the lie of omission though. The Daniel character should have been a bit stronger throughout for what was his final plea near the end. That character was a bit too e=weak for me. All in all, is was a fast and fun read hinting at a BDSM lifestyle rather than reading pages of it. If you are into BDSM reads, you may be disappointed. If you don't normally go for a book due to BDSM, I think you would enjoy this story. It gives you the underlying elements of the strength of character a Dom or any good man should have, open communication, caring, protectiveness, love, loyalty, ect. I'd highly recommend it.
Never ever blackmail a mother who's only protecting her child with threatening of taking it away and claiming custody for it. It's a complete no go even if it's only a bluff - as the reader is told from the hero's point of view. Considering that the mother didn't know the hero very well and most often saw him drunk and in company of various women, I completely understand her reasoning and chain of action. This is like straight out of an old Harlequin Presents romance - which always made me grind my teeth and want to slap the hero something fiercely. Badly done, Devlin Black. Badly done indeed. DNF
Pretty good. The story was a little backwards from how these types of stories usually are, which was refreshing and enjoyable. I read the whole series in one sitting, so it was a quicker and easier read than I usually like. Also, it moved along really fast, I like the drama and angst being drawn out more. I am thinking I will enjoy more of this author's work, though.
3.5 stars. I feel bad only giving a low rating because I really enjoy this authors books, however this series was slow and i couldn't connect with the characters. To me they lacked chemistry and I felt the story was slow, I had a hard time keeping interested. I would definitely recommend the other books this author has written.
Devlin Black, possibly the coolest name ever!!=) It certainly helped that he was a beautiful possessive Dom! I at times was driven crazy by Victoria and her inability to accept love!! I really wanted to shake her!!! This was hot and sweet! Not too dark.
Brilliant series from Alaska. Now a favorite is so unique. First they met by mistake then the man is actually ready to settled down. And so many twisted turns drama. Will they make? Oh it had me pulled in and couldn't put down was sad when out ended.
The entire Devlin Black series, all in one amazing bundle. If you are looking for a super hot, amazing read, here is the book for you. Don't deprive yourself of this excellent story
