An Unexpected Mate
Lee is the perfect alpha in every respect. Dignified, rich, handsome, smart, active in the shifter community—he’s the dream of every available she-wolf and omega in the city. But not even stunning paragons of success such as Lee are immune to the shared plight of most children: mothers hounding them to settle down with a mate. To appease his dear mama, Lee reluctantly agrees to attend a date she’s arranged with a gorgeous she-wolf.

So Lee suffers through an atrocious date with an atrocious woman, but things look up the moment he meets her cousin—Ryan, a shy and timid omega male that Lee is absolutely smitten with. Will Lee be able to woo the shy omega out of his shell?

My Best Friend the Werewolf
Neil and Jason have been best friends since forever, but for the past few weeks, Jason has been avoiding Neil. Neil can’t take being ignored any more and goes to confront Jason—only to learn three very significant things: Jason is a werewolf, Jason is gay, and Jason is crazy in love with Neil and wants to mate with him. How will Neil cope with these revelations?

Omega By Fate
Brett’s been invited to massive gathering with many other wolf packs, and he’s not in the least bit excited to attend it. One thing does entice him though, and that’s the possibility of meeting his fated mate, the one he’s always dreamed of: a beautiful woman that he’d bond with and raise many pups with. But when it turns out that his fated mate is Trevor, an alpha male heir to the Northstream pack and Brett is the omega in the relationship, will he be able to accept his new destiny?

Meeting in the Rain
A pleasant walk in the woods turns awry for David when a thunderstorm starts up and he loses his path back home—and that's the least of his troubles when a white wolf starts chasing him down until he's trapped inside a cave with it! But right before his very eyes, the wolf transforms into a man, an incredibly hot, muscular, ripped man named Kai. It's an unexpected encounter, but things heat up as they indulge themselves in the company of each other and start bonding as the rain rages on.

Return of the Alpha
Jarred is the omega mate of the pack alpha Aidan, and they haven’t seen each other in months. When Aidan returns, Jarred worries that things have changed between him and his mate—and also how will his alpha react when he says that he wants to have some children now! Little does he anticipate just how hotly his alpha still lusts over him and how much Aidan agrees that it’s time to have new pups join the pack.


Warning: This bundle contains scorching hot werewolf shifter sex between dominant alphas and their omega/human mates, male breeding, knotting, and male pregnancy. Those uncomfortable with these themes may want to sit this bundle out.

I’m just going to share my favorite quotes. So you get a good feel for these stories.

“I want your big alpha cock in my tight hole, and I want you to claim me and breed me, Lee.”

“Yeah, you want to knock me up? Get me pregnant with your werewolf seed? Fuck yeah, dude, I’ll do that for you. Fuck me and get me round and full of your babies, Jason.”

“Take my pussy, please. Be my alpha, and make me your omega pussy forever.”

“I want to feel your cum flooding into me as your cock knots up in my pussy. I want to know that you’re planting your alpha seed into me and that I’ll be having your pups soon.”

”I’ll breed you and make you my bitch.”

”These perfect little tits will be feeding our pups soon.”

“Yes, Aidan. My pussy misses you so much.”

Could. Not. Stop. Laughing.

I know very well that these stories are entertaining for fans of a certain kind of M / M tales. Except that, since they are already simple (and given the topic I was not expecting much), it would have been useful not to change the rules of the game for every single story! Create a universe and give some continuity, not necessarily by creating relationships between the various characters: the lack of it bothered me.

This is a great collection! I had read them all individually and they are all fun reads. The stories are sometimes humorous, always sexy, and uniformly well-written. I've provided abbreviated reviews of each story below:

An Unexpected Mate
Very sweet Cinderella type story.No conflict or angst. A nice comfort read.

My Best Friend the Werewolf
This is your classic gay-for-you, best-friend-secretly-in-love story with a werewolf twist. Everything is a little rushed since it's a short story. The mpreg piece felt kind of tacked on and I was surprised at the friend's reaction to it. I think though this was a factor of being a short story. Still a great story.

Omega by Fate
Brett's narration is freaking hilarious! This is a guy I'd love to have for a friend. I thought Trevor was very earnest and charming as he tried to help Brett get over the shock of suddenly finding out he's an omega and mated to a man.

Meeting in the Rain
The thing I loved most about this story (not counting the naughty bits) was David's hilarious narration. His personality is great and his humor is priceless. I found myself thinking that I'd love to know him and this felt like hearing a friend giving you the scoop on meeting a cute guy in the woods. There's no instant love or fated mates, just two guys making a connection and sharing an afternoon together. Of course there's a happy ending that promises more to come. Don't you just wish these kinds of things would happen to us?!

Return of the Alpha
Really one long scene with an additional epilogue, the short story is nonetheless satisfying. Jarred's voice was charmingly twinky and humorous to add to the fun. There is plenty of heat in the sex and yet also some substance to the short story.

I received a copy of this story in exchange for an honest review

ARC from author for honest review.
This is a 5 book bundle of some of Alex Ashmore's work. The titles include: An Unexpected Mate, My Best Friend the Werewolf, Omega by Fate, Meeting in the Rain, and Return of the Alpha.
These are all great works by AA that describe the relationship between Alphas and their Omegas. These werewolf’s have lightning fast chemistry and are mates for life in a matter of love (or lust) at first site. Though each of these books are on the short side, they are great reads if you are looking for hot, insta-love. These books range from “lets hook up whenever I'm in town” to “you are my best friend turned lover” and “I've finally found my mate in life and I don’t want to wait to start a family”. This bundle has a great range and is sure to have something that you will love and want more of.

An Omega/Shifter for everyone

Well if you like paranormal mm romance with some erotica and wry humour thrown in; this bundle is for you.
I received this book as inspection copy but with omega who are ashamed to be an omega, omega who don't know they are omega, friends who don't fully know their friends - you get the picture, these are short stories you can dip in for a happy moment.
The first Unexpected Mate and the last Return of the Alpha were my favourites with the characters and storylines being well developed, with Meeting in the Rain not far behind - after all what do you do when you go for a walk in the woods and find yourself being herded by a wolf!
I only meant to dip and read one but I kept going.
Go on you'll enjoy it

I'm a little upset.

The stories were okay but what I really didn't like was the omegas being made to seem like women. Last I checked even though an omega male can carry and deliver a child he doesn't have ( excuse my language) a p*ssy. Seeing that really ruined it for me. In one story the MC is upset to find out he's an omega because he's not gay and always dreamed that his fated mate would of course be a women whom he would impregnate many times. He's so upset when he find out that his fated mate is male and that he's an omega that he tries to run but an hour later he's not only having sex with his mate but it's like he's turned into a female. For a minute I forget that I was reading an M/M story.

I enjoyed all the stories in this collection, I know some people look for grammar and stuff, but for me it's the flow of the story and if the stories are complete even if their short, which I think Alex did a great job, on these shrimp stories. I believe you will not be disappointed, even you don't like them all its still worth value buying. Great collection for this time of year, when it's to cold to be outside. I was given this bundle for a honest review..

I was given this in exchange for an honest review. I like all of these stories. They are all well written and the characters are well developed for the size of the stories.
