WOW what a collection of AMAZING stories by some AMAZING authors.... I have previously read a few of the books within this boxset, which I LOVED & can't wait to read the ones I haven't read yet.
Hero (Wolves of Angels Rest, book 1) by Elsa Jade I loved this book, I was quickly thrust into the story & it was over before I knew what happened. Man I love that in a book, even in a quick read like 'Hero'. Kane is coming home from the war afer escaping small town life. Maddison felt a pull to returning to where it all began. A chance meeting on Kane's first night home & so many secrets to keep from Maddie, keeping her safe from himself & others.... but when the Mating Moon rises the war between want & need stop....
Forbidden (Never After Dark, book 1) by Elle Thorne I've had this book for a few months now, just sitting in my kindle waiting & FINALLY I've read this delicious bite. Lets not forget the White Tiger (my all time fav animal... wish I could be dreaming of them every night. LOVED this book & will read the others when I'm able to.
Temptation (Grey Wolves Rising, book 1) by Emma Storm I finished reading Temptation, Gabriel's story... this man had it easy, I'm not completely sure why he waitied so long?? Gabriel has known his true mate for 6 years, but she was too young & he wanted her to be the best that she could be. That meant Joy went away to college, away from Gabriel & her family... I could understand Gabirel's hesitation for not taking Joy as his mate 6 years prior, but I really felt for Joy... Gabriel not accepting the connection between them & making Joy feel like there was nothing there between them...
Iron (Blue Collar Wolves, book 1) by Ronin Winters I finished Iron today & what a story it is! I was enthralled in the story I was reading, sucked into the pain of Iron & his choices about not mating with his true mate Bella. Iron has been keeping his distance from his true mate Bella, he's known her since they were both young, but he doesn't want to bring her into the world of shifters. Wanting only whats best for her, he decides to ignore the mating pull. Bella has decided to finally have her man & with the Mating Moon up it's now or never.... I really loved the push & pull that was all of Iron & Bella's story, Bella is strong & just wants what she's only ever wanted.... all she needs to do is convince a very stubbon wolf.
Enforcer's Heart (Stratton Wolves, book 3) by Mina Carter WOW what an introduction to Mina's work, I was quickly lost in the story. Even though this isn't the first book in the series, I was able to understand all that was happening. LOVED it & have added the rest of the series to my TBR.
Desert Moon (The Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch, book 1) by Anna Lowe Lana's returning to Twin Moon Ranch 12 years after catching the sent, the Arizona desert calls to her in ways her home doesn't. Ty is next in line for the Alpha position & he's feeling all the stress that comes with being Alpha & not having a true mate, about 12 years ago Ty scents his mate but she's no longer around. I loved how Anna brought the characters together, we get amazing details, desciptions & back stories. Also the interaction between Lana & Ty, all the dancing around one another & sassy back chatting from Lana, also knowing what an Alpha needs in his mate.... True mates are rare & hard to find, if you don't find your true mate you drain the life from the women you choose to take as mate instead, they don't last long. This is unique in the true mates department. I can't wait for book 2 of the series.
Tempted by the Pack (Blue Moon Brides, book 1) by Anne Marsh What an introduction to Anne Marsh, I was quickly drawn into the story, making me want to read what happens next in the series. I have added the rest added to my TBR now.
Red Fever (BBW Fairy Tale Shorts, book 1) by Viola Rivard Don't you just love when an author takes a fairytale/ nursery rhyme & changes it?? Makes it have paranormal characters?? Makes it into a steamy, hot read?? Yes or no, I can't deny that Viola has re-vamped Red Ridding Hood to the point of it where it doesn't read like the original anymore. 'Red Fever' is the first in Viola's "Fairy Tail Shorts" series, I enjoyed this fast, steamy read that had me thinking of Red Ridding Hood in a different way to when I was younger. You felt sorry for Rose, trying to escape the clutches of her detestable, drunkard fiance... The power of Viola's words drew you into the tale I had wiplash when I had finished. I wish there was more to the tale, I can't wait for what comes next in the series.
"This review is for Anna Lowe's DESERT MOON & Anne Marsh's TEMPTED BY THE PACK"
"DESERT MOON" ~ 4. 5 Desert Moon Stars ~
“There’s more than meets the eye on Twin Moon Ranch, home to a pack of shapeshifting wolves willing to battle for life and love.” – The Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch Series
Desert Moon is book one in The Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch by Anna Lowe. I am reading this series out of order and each book can stand-a-lone.
Ty, an Alpha and son of an Alpha. He is bossy, busy, sexy, and wounded in a way that only his true mate can see. I liked Ty.
Lana, daughter of an Alpha. She knows how the Alphas work and she wants nothing to do with an Alpha even if it is her true mate. She is sexy, smart, strong willed, and independent. I liked Lana.
ALowe is an awesome writer. I was pulled into the characters, plot, and world from the first to the last page. I could not put Desert Moon down. I love how the author pulled me into the storyline and connected me to the characters. I become so engrossed in the authors characters; that I felt everything they felt whether they were happy, sad, frustrated, etc. The emotions are so real and the world is unique. I also like how the shifters are portrayed. We are also given a great conflict on more then one front with the feud and rouges.
Ty and Lana are a perfect couple. They complemented each other and when they connected the sex was passionate and sensual. Destained mates are rare and to find one is something you fight to keep and protect. The wolf side knows it’s destained mate, but the human side will struggle with life’s conflicts and emotions before they come around.
Desert Moon was fantastic, the storyline was gripping, and the characters are captivating. I look forward to more in this series. I am riveted and blown away.

"TEMPTED BY THE PACK" ~ 3 Tempted Stars ~
I wasn’t entirely impressed by Tempted By the Pack. I enjoyed the idea of it, but it just felt like it could of been executed better. Not much of a begging or ending. Felt like the book need more, but as short stories go it’s a nice read especially after a heavy hitter.
The characters in this book felt a little flat. The Breaux brothers are intriguing and hot, but we don’t get much on them, I understand they will each get their own book, but it would be nice to have more background. I like Lark, she is independent and strong willed, but it was hard to picture her switching from one to two to more men. The sex scenes were good. They did not overtake the book. As for the plot well not a whole lot. The Pack has to find their fated mates on a blue moon. Their is a little conflict with vampires, but not much background is explained on this.
I got Tempted By the Pack free on Amazon. I’ll pick up the following ones if they become free, otherwise I’m not interested enough in paying for them.
ELLE THORNE - FORBIDDEN - NEVER AFTER DARK ANNE MARSH - TEMPTED BY THE PACK - BLUE MOON BRIDES EMMA STORM - TEMPTATION - GREY WOLVES RISING VIOLA RIVARD - RED FEVER - A WEREWOLF BBW FAIRY TALE RONIN WINTERS - IRON - BLUE COLLAR WOLVES 1 A good enjoyable read but I will say this is my least favourite of them due to the crudity used, made me cringe and spoilt it for me. Iron is an idiot male who nearly lost the best thing in his life due to hanging onto his childhood mummy issues. His dad was in the wrong, not him. Isabella is a smart woman and knowing she is Iron’s mate and he doesn't want her is bad enough but finding out he is going to mate another woman is the last straw. Bella tells Iron he claims her or she finds someone else. The crudity comes in with one sex scene and Bella being called and referring to herself as a B**ch. Just NO, did not add to the story for me as I have heard this used too much in a derogatory fashion. I understand the context it is used in in this book but bad memories. The plot was pretty set but the other characters we meet from the pack are lovely and all have great stories to be told. Be aware these are short stories and I did not pay the current asking price. ANNA LOWE - DESERT MOON - WOLVES OF TWIN MOON RANCH 1 A very good read. 12 years have passed since Lana first visited the ranch with her grandmother. When she was there, she kept scenting the most amazing smell but could not pin it down. She thought she had found her mate but no luck. Ty has been pining for his mate ever since he came home from a trip and smelt her scent on the ranch. He has never been sure if it was a figment of his imagination and was under a lot of stress as the Alpha heir. His father had already tried to force an arranged mating and was giving Ty hassle. When Lana arrives with her grandmother for a visit again she knows Ty is her mate but he ignores her and fights against his wolf as Lana is a Dixon, his father’s enemy. When Lana is put into danger by a pack member will Ty see sense and claim his mate, even if she is a Dixon? Trouble is brewing in the background for the pack. ELSA JADE - HERO - WOLVES OF ANGELS REST 1 MINA CARTER - ENFORCER'S HEART - STRATTON WOLVES 3
I went into this book familiar with 4 of the authors and the series included. Each book can be rad as a standalone but hopefully they will lead you to a new series. You absolutely c can't go wrong with this book or these authors.
Eight stories from eight authors... All steamy with raw passion... Many with unsure characters amazingly able to fight the unstoppable attraction to their fated mate.
This was an awesome box that has a lot of my favorite authors. I will review each story individually.
Forbidden by Elle Thorne... This is the first book of n a new After Dark Series and this time we get Rafe's story and we are going to Italy. Jax wants to get away from her life. This is a great story and has my favorite kind of shifters wolves. We do get to see other characters from the last series and it was good to see them but wow Rafe was just wow!!
Tempted by the Pack by Anne Marsh.... Rafe and his brothers are in the need of mates and on a blue moon he is lead to the door of Lark and believes that she is his mate. When Lark learns that she can choose one or all of the brothers she is a little overwhelmed but knows in the end what she wants and what is right for her. This was a short read but was great all the same.
Temptation ( Grey Wolves Rising) by Emma Storm.... After being turned away six years ago Joy left to go to college and when she comes home to put her past behind her so she move to Miami permanently Gabe decides that he has waited long enough and now he can have his mate. This is a novella and the first in the Grey Wolves Rising series with no cliffhanger and a HEA.
Red Fever (A Werewolf BBW Fairy Tale) by Viola Rivard... This is the first book in a new series but each book is a stand alone. This is the new twist of the old tale of little red riding hood. Rose just wants to be left alone, not forced to marry so she decides to escape to her grandmother's house. Of course like the original story she comes across obstacles on her way. Will she get to her grandmothers and also be able to find true love or will she be married against her will? This story does end with a HEA. This is a great story and I can't wait to see what Viola has next for us in this new series.
Iron ( Blue Collar Wolves) by Ronin Winters... First book in the Blue Collar Wovles and is a standalone with no cliffhanger and has a HEA. Image meeting your one true love when you were in the first grade but feel that you can never be with that person. Iron has loved Bella for years but knows she is destined for something greater but Bella knows what she wants and what she wants is Iron. She will not let his stubbornness stop him and what Bella wants Bella gets.
Desert Moon by Anna Lowe... Ty is the next Alpha of his pack and isn't know for diplomacy just for being obeyed but this all changes when he meets his mate Lana. Lana is only in Twin Moons to help her grandmother then she wants to go back home. Lana is use to dealing with Alphas but she won't let anyone push her around or force her to do anything. Ty and Lana are mates but there are others who don't want these two to be together and it gets worse when the pack learns who is Lana's father. This book is the first in the series but has an HEA and the following books are about other couples, but there is a novella that is the companion to this story.
Hero (Wolves of Angels Rest) by Elsa Jade... Coming home after years away, Kane returns so he can because me alpha of his pack. Madde has also returned and is seeking a place to belong. When these two long lost lovers see each other again their chemistry explodes and they can't keep away from each other even though they try. Kane must find a mate and he believes that Maddie can't be his but his wolf and his heart has other ideas. These two have a lot to overcome and when a hunter sets its sight on them hey must come together to survive. This is the first book in this series and we get to meet the other two heroes in the books to come. This story does have a HEA and a continuing storyline.
Enforcer's Heart by Mina Carter... Third book in this series and features female cop Ce and Reilly a "cop" to the pack and the little brother of Kelli. Ce is strong and doesn't let the fact that she is human at least for now stop her from going toe to toe with Reilly and amp tone else who gets in her way. I was glad that Reilly finally found true love after the craziness that he has gone through.
I received a copy of this box set for a honest review.
Hero by Elsa Jade ; this is a great short read, Kane is a werewolf who left his quiet town to enlist but now he's back and all his feelings for his first real love come flooding back especially when he sees her. This has some great characters with brilliant humour and the story is filled with a great balance of everything. Forbidden by Ellie Thorne; This is about Rafe and he is still feeling raw when Vax and Callie arrive home as he still thought Callie should be with him but his tiger didn't agree, so when he meets Jax who his tiger wants and this is where it gets funny, sassy, stubborn, protective and oh sooo good, you won't be disappointed. Temptation by Emma Storm; you have wolves who first met when Joy had ran out of gas after taking her mum's car for a midnight drive, she fell in love with this older man but Gabriel knew she need to experience life before he took her for his mate. this story takes you through their emotions while getting to know them and the other characters, great read. Iron by Ronin Winters; Iron has been in love with Bella since rescuing her from bullies out of the sandpit in the school yard, even though he knows she is his true mate he does everything he can to keep her out of the shifters way of life he wants her to do better in his eyes. Bella is sick of Iron ignoring what they have together so she sets out to get her man one way or another. this has been a brilliant read with plenty of humour but also friendship loyalty and protection of these close characters. Enforcers Heart by Mina Carter; Ce is a cop in the city she loves her job and partner she sees him as her brother so when they get a call to another alarm going off they don't think about going straight in but they are faced with dealing with a werewolf, the one night she forgets to take her anti were pill she gets bitten, that's where things start really heating up as she taken out of town to a pack of shifters to help her if she changes but she didn't plan on falling for another shifter. Great strong characters and brilliant read. Dessert Moon by Anna Lowe; Ty is taking over from his alpha father, carrying the weight of it all while still thinking he missed his chance with his true mate years before even though he never saw her only got her scent and that has haunted him since. Lana has returned after 12 years to settle her nan in at the shifter guest houses, this place feels so like her home but she knows she missed out on something last time but can't quite remember what and why she feels heartbroken about it, that is until they both meet and stirrings between them send everything into chaos while the problems with rogue shifters and the danger this brings, what will happen ........ Tempted by the Pack by Anne Marsh; this is a great story about the legends of what lives deep in the Bayou, Lark is a lonely hard working girl who is trying to keep hold of the only thing left of her grandma's, Rafer and his brothers are waiting for the blue moon to guide them to find him and his brothers their mate whether she takes one of them or all of them, he's hoping it's Lark, he has been watching, stalking and hoping she will be the one. this is brilliant with great plot and characters that you can't help liking the mysteriousness of them all. Red Fever by Viola Rivard; This is like little red riding hood but in shifter form and Rose can't wait to escape her life as she has always felt beneath anyone because of her looks and shape, that is before Ronan spots her and his wolf wants his mate. This heats up quick and you are in no doubt a great story and characters. this has been a brilliant boxset of short reads by great authors and will give you a taste of what is to come, I have really enjoyed reading this.
Steamy-sizzling romances that sets the pages ablaze....
This review is for Anna Lowe's "DESERT MOON" It is said that destiny is inevitable, it can give you a hint of what is to come into your life, then disappears into oblivion, and finally reappears when you are ready to embrace it. Such is the case in the lives of Ty and Lana. Ty, next in line to be Alpha Pack Leader, is built like THOR, has an authoritative personality which demands loyalty and respect, and should be wearing a sign UNLESS IT'S PACK BUSINESS KEEP YOUR DISTANCE.. Lana the daughter of an Alpha Pack Leader who happens to be Ty's dad's adversary, is a sexy, spirited, tough ALPHA she-wolf who is not intimidated by Ty's Alpha attitude.
This is a multifaceted story which gives you an exhilarating reading experience. This story has a cast of amazing impressive and engaging, characters, spectacular story-line, powerful vivid scene descriptions, superb banter, rogue coyote shifters reeking havoc in their territory, a land dispute, life threatening incidents, and passionate love scenes that would make a lady of the night blush.
Incredible well written read by a truly gifted author. I adored this story as it was a most gratifying read. I highly recommend this book and the series as it will have your heart pounding and falling in love with THE WOLVES OF TWIN MOON RANCH!! {I was given this book for an honest review}.
This review is for “ENFORCER'S HEART” by Mina Carter This story features, Riley Copeland-The strapping Alpha Enforcer for the Stratton Werewolf Pack who has absolutely no interest in finding another mate since the bond he had with his x-wife Jenna was permanently severed. These days enforcing the peace and working out in his gym occupy his time; Clara Callahan nickname Ce is a sassy cop, and definitely someone you don't want to mess with.
While on duty Ce has the misfortune of being bitten by a rogue werewolf, and now she is in horrific danger. Ce is sent to the Stratton Werewolf Pack for protection. Max, Alpha of the Stratton Pack-puts Riley in charge of protecting her.
Mina's quality and smoothness of her writing is superb. She manages to mix sentiment, humor, seduction, life threatening incidents into a captivating story. The use of vivid descriptions lure the reader into the story and hold your interest till the end. The characters have unique personalities and are engaging in all aspects.
I highly recommend this book as it is a great and memorable read.
“This review is for Anne Marsh's -TEMPTED BY THE PACK” The story features Lark a sexy, audacious flower farm owner; The Breaux brothers, strapping, sultry wolf-shifters.
Enthralling fast paced well written read with amazing impressive and engaging characters, life threatening incidents, superb banter, fantastic story-line, powerful scene descriptions, jaw-dropping heart-pounding sinful romance, and a spectacular ending that will leave you awe-struck. A most gratifying read from start to finish. The Bayou setting is charming and the characters are convincing and valiant heroes. This book is an excellent choice for a shifter library. {I received an arc for a completely honest review}. In the world of shifter romance the possibilities are endless and always fascinating. Without reservations I highly recommend this book.
FORBIDDEN (Never After Dark) by Elle Thorne -- 4 stars This was better than I expected. At first, I expected some weird menage between Rafe, his brother and Callie, but I'm glad that Rafe found a girl of his own. It was very believable, at least in the none paranormal aspects, but of course things did seem a bit rushed between Rafe and Jax, but that's to be expected for a short story. All in all, it wasn't a waste of time.
TEMPTED BY THE PACK (Blue Moon Brides) by Anne Marsh -- 0 stars Wasn't a fan at all. Yes, it's fiction and all, but I find it very cheesy to say that wolves would share a mate. Wolves mate for life. I'm think it would make sure sense to have them be a pride of lions or something.
TEMPTATION (Grey Wolves Rising) by Emma Storm -- 3 stars One of the better ones in this book, but I thought that Joy tried to hard to have him and leave him. It would have been better if she just blew him off entirely. Cute, quick read though.
RED FEVER (A Werewolf BBW Fairy Tale) by Viola Rivard -- 2.5 stars To begin with, the synopsis wasn't even accurate to go with the book. Rose was traveling to her grandmothers in a red cloak (a bad attempt at Red Riding Hood?) in an attempt to get away from her husband to be. He catches up to her when she sights Ronan the first time, as a human. Ronan is unsure about having a human mate but decides he has to have her. Saving her, he brings her back to his den in the mountain where they start their life together. It would have been cuter if the epilogue hadn't ruined it. She was whiny and needy and insecure all of a sudden because she was pregnant.
IRON (Blue Collar Wolves) by Ronin Winters -- 2 stars Why would you disregard your true mate just because she doesn't know about wolves and knowingly mate a female that isn't yours? Dumb. But of course, he ends up with her in the end. The time line shifted around a bit and wasn't confusing somewhat.
DESERT MOON (Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch) by Anna Lowe -- 4 stars Lana and Ty make a good couple. That Audrey is a wench though, trying to stir up trouble. And Daddy all made because the woman he loved left him for another wolf - guess it wasn't meant to be dude, suck it up.
HERO (Wolves of Angels Rest) by Elsa Jade -- 0 stars This story must not have been memorable because after reading the synopsis I can't recall anything about the story.
ENFORCER'S HEART (Stratton Wolves) by Mina Carter -- 3.5 stars Carla is sassy and determined to make her own way in life when she's suddenly bitten and saddled with a hot babysitter, a werewolf named Riley. He has a bad for her form the start, shocked that he wants another woman after the death of his mate.
Alphas Unbound, all in all, it was an okay read since it was free. Some of the stories are a waste of time, but others weren't so bad. Overall rating: 2.5 stars by average
I am always glad to read one of these sets of stories as they have helped me discover some great new authors.
There are a lot of great stories here to read. These are stories about meeting their mates and trying to make it all work. Some of them have an easier time of it than others. I enjoyed all the stories. The chemistry is there and they have to work on building the trust to make it a real relationship. The stories are a good length and allow for character development. Some of my favorites have a good sense of humor about it all too.
TEMPTED BY THE PACK by Anne Marsh is a very interesting menage story about a group of brothers looking for their mate during the blue moon in Louisiana. It has a lot of darkness in it but also hope for the future.
TEMPTATION (Grey Wolves Rising) by Emma Storm is a story of a shifter that wants to give his young mate time to grow but may have pushed her away too many times. She wants him to prove he desires her.
DESERT MOON by Anna Lowe is a series I have been reading for awhile. It starts off with this Romeo & Juliet kind of take on two mates that may be driven apart by their family. They have been seeking each other for a long time and have to be strong to defy the wishes of others.
RED FEVER (A Werewolf BBW Fairy Tale) by Viola Rivard is a sexy, paranormal take on Little Red Riding Hood. She has a nasty fiance and it is up to the wolf to save her.
IRON (Blue Collar Wolves) by Ronin Winters is about a shifter who has denied his mate to protect his heart. She is giving him one last chance. I really liked how willing she was to put it all out there.
HERO (Wolves of Angels Rest) by Elsa Jade involves someone who gave up his mate once before to protect her and now has to decide if he can give her up again. They both thought they could escape the past but fate has something different in mind.
ENFORCER'S HEART by Mina Carter is about a tough cop who doesn't take her anti-furry pill one day and ends up bitten. She has to live with the shifters to see if she will turn and someone else just wants her to die. There is a lot of humor too.
This set has a great set of authors in it. Of the three books I’ve read they are all 5 stars books. Get it while you can at this great price.

A great collection of stories by 8 different authors. I highly recommend this set. I found 3 of my favorite authors in this set. Which made it a plus for me. I did also find 2 new authors that I will continue to following.
FORBIDDEN by Elle Thorne
Forbidden tells the love story of Rafael "Rafe" Tiero and Jaclyn "Jax" Vasquez. I liked this story a lot. There is great chemistry between the characters. I love it when the female characters is strong, smart, feisty and can hold her own. Rafe is just so hot, yummy and sweet. I just love his character. I wish that Ms. Thorne wrote series that continued with some of the same characters only on new adventures. She has come up with some great characters that need more then just one book and the occasional guest spot. Rafe is one of them.
RED FEVER by Viola Rivard What a great little short story. I loved it, The main characters are Roman, Rose and Alf. Roman is sweet, cute and loveable huggable. Rose is strong, smart, beautiful and Romans mate. Alf is the bad guy of the story. He and Rose are to be married but Rose can't stand him and runs away. Alf finds Rose but so does Roman and that's all I'll share on what happens so you'll just have to by the book. You'll be happy you did. I know I look forward to the next book.
DESERT MOON by Anna Lowe
Ty and Lana caught each others sent years ago with no luck in finding the other. Now chance has finally brought them together only to throw one thing after another in their path to true love. Will the hatred between their families keep them apart? Will danger posed from rogue shifters stop them from being together? The only way to find out is to read this book. You wont regret it. This is the first book to a really good series from an great paranormal writer.

EACH BOOK ALONE WAS GREAT...BUT AS A SET THIS IS TERRIFIC I WAS GIVEN THIS SET OF BOOKS FOR AN HONEST REVIEW AND THIS IS MY HONEST OPINION .... OVER 18 READING I WILL DO THE REVIEWS AS I READ THEM ON THIS SET AND UPDATE AS I GO ALONG THIS REVIEW IS FOR ANNA LOWE'S DESERT MOON #1 DESERT MOON BY ANNA LOWE In this story there is the young Ty Hawthorne a lonely Alpha (who believes he has almost met and has lost his change with his one true love, case closed) who live to do is duty, care for his clan, deal with all the problems and on this day take his grandmother to pick up her old friend who is moving to the ranch.. Now there happens to be a beautiful woman, early 30's a little younger then him, with them.Lana is back to Arizona to settle her grandmother in her new home, then return to her clan back east,she had swore not to every come back after the trip when she was20, and thought she caught the scent of her mate but never found the man belonging to the scent and it ruined her for no one ever compared in all these years. Now Ty is dealing with rogue shifters, hard headed,self reliance Lana Dixion(his possible life mate),his father's returning (who hates Lana's Family) , a kid brother and human farmers . Can he possibly figure and solve it all before his father returns? Because that will be another problem all together.
This, the last story in the series, was a good short story but, I would enjoy seeing it filled out and turned into a novel or a novella. Where did Rose come from? I'd like to hear more about her family. There was a nice build-up about her grandmother but it was very disappointing when she never became a part of the story.
It would have been nice to read a little about Ronan's background, too. .The way the story was written like he was just born when he woke with a new smell in the air that he knew was his mate. Ok, how did he know that what he was smelling was his mate
If you're looking for a quick read and you enjoy reading about the world of shifters, you'll probably enjoy the the new outlook. There's no wolf pack in this one.
I actually found several of the stories in this collection were quite enjoyable. I discovered a few new authors I hadn't read before and followed them to their websites to discover some very good new series.
Even if every story in the collection doesn't turn out to be a new favorite I think that anyone who enjoys reading the paranormal genre and particularly about the world of shifters would find many satisfying hours of reading in "ALPHAS UNBOUND: Paranormal Shifter Romance Multi-Author Series".
I was given a complimentary copy for an honest review by author Elle Thorne. This is a paranormal shifter romance anthology featuring some great authors.

This book is a great start to a new series. We meet Ty and Lana, shifters who each scented their mate years ago, yet never actually met. Unknowingly, they're about to get their second chance. Of course, things can't be easy for them. I love that Lana is a strong woman as Ty needs that in a mate. Ty, an alpha, has a lot of responsibility weighing on him and Lana balances that out for him. I'm looking forward to more of the series and seeing what the future holds for this pack.
I really enjoyed this start to an awesome series. The author gifted me this for an honest review. Parts of it I wanted to throw my kindle across the room because of the characters attitudes or things they did, but I had to read it all. I had to know what happened and I felt like I was falling in love with the characters. I loved the love story and the twists involved. Amazing book and I cannot wait for the 2nd one.
Maddie left Angel Rest in hopes of getting away from the memories she wants to put behind her. When she runs into Kane all the old feelings comes rushing back.

She is something his father warned him about and he can't stop his wolf from wanting her still. Will Kane listen to his heart or lose her for the sake of the pack?

Alphas Unbound: 8 Sexy Shifter Romances Each story was short and part of a series however could be read as stand alones. These were new to my authors and I look forward to going back and reading the rest of their books.
This is a collection of shifter romances, written by different authors. Some were the first books in the series but all were short standalones featuring a shifter finding his fated mate. 2.5 stars.
Each story was great. Love all the alphas and how they find their mates. Also get to know some new and favorite authors. Highly recommend this box set.
