I only read 2 of the novellas in this anthology : Seduce the Bride by Shayla Black and In From The Cold by Lexi Blake
Seduce the Bride by Shayla Black
This was a yummy little morsel of a story with a delicious touch of forbidden. Perrie has been in love with Hayden since she was old enough to recognize the feeling. But he's her father's work partner and 12 years older. Hayden isn't unaware of Perrie either, he's been painfully aware of her and knows that she's entirely hands off. Even if he's desperately in love with her himself. Four years ago, eighteen year old Perrie was too young for him. But now she's back from college and all bets are off. I loved this story, even though the end felt a little too perfect for me. I didn't quite buy in to Dan's easy acceptance of Hayden going after his daughter, but it didn't take away from my enjoyment either. This was a fun little age-gap story.
In From The Cold by Lexi Blake
Sweet baby jesus! My ovaries. Holy hotness, batman. I can't even with this story. This was a smokin' hot MMF menage with a splash of BDSM that I loved from beginning to finish. A sweet and innocent submissive, and two men that love each other as much as they burn for her. So hot! There's one tortured hero and the other is the sweet and funny one determined to make the other two see how perfect they'd be as a threesome. Really loved this one.

When I first found this anthology, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. It has some of my favourite authors. So far I have read 2 of the stories. They both were extremely steamy and sexy and so good.
The first I read was Seduced the bride by Shayla black. I’m perfectly familiar with this author’s writing. Her books are steamy, hot, unputdownable. I was glued to the pages the whole time. The story was simple and put a smile on my face. The story was about a girl who falls in love with her dad’s best friend. I loved the forbidden element. It was different. I loved how the hero tried to seduce her when he founds out she got engaged to someone else and who isn’t right for her and that he needs to man up and fight for her and correct her mistake.
He scoffs. “Before I take you to bed and prove you belong to me.”
“You’re assuming.”
“You’re wearing the lingerie I chose, knowing damn well I intend to seduce you.”
“That’s not true.” But it is. “I was just curious.”
The chemistry between the two was burning up the pages and scenes were hot and sensual. I loved how bossy he was in the bedroom and just as sweet out of it. You could see the love they had for each other. All in all it was really sweet romance and without any over the top drama.
The second story I read was In from the cold by Lexi Blake. I have read many books by her and loved every single of them. No one writes suspenseful BDSM books like she does. Her stories her always unique and engaging. This was just the same. I absolutely enjoyed it.
The story is about three people. Reid, Gideon and Jessica. They both are top lawyers and Jessica works as their secretary. They are involved in the D/s world and our lovers which she doesn’t know. She’s been in love with them both but has never made any move. She thinks Reid is gay and Gideon is engaged so she doesn’t have a chance. But circumstances soon changes.
”Gideon,” Jessica began.
“Too late,” Reid said under his breath.
She lifted her hands in front of her in a vain attempt at warding him off. He pulled her wrist up and sank down to the nearby sofa in one smooth move. Jessica found herself over his lap in an instant.
“Have you spanked her yet?” Gideon asked.
Once she realises that she’s a submissive and wants to try out this new world, Reid offers to help her who’s also been in love with her and wants her to be Gideon and his lover so they all can be together.
Things heat up when she attends the BDSM seminar. Gideon and she slept once but he shot her down the next day but he soon realises his mistake. Reid and Gideon decide to seduce her and tell her the truth and how they want her.
I loved how Jessica grew her confidence and gave them a chance. There were so many funny scenes too. The ending was perfect. The scenes were off the charts. Loved their chemistry.

This was an overall good read. Although, as with any anthology, some stories were good and some not quite as good. This is one heck of a huge book and by the time I was halfway through I noticed I was skimming through the stories. Also, since I read it all at once, the stories seemed to all blur together somewhat. But the stories were all pretty much well done and very sizzling.

Seduce The Bride by Shayla Black: Hayden thought he was to old for Perri and rejects her advances. Plus she's the daughter of his good friend. When she comes home 4 years later with a fiancee, he knows he wants her back and sets his course to win her back. He broke her heart back then but can he mend it now? This story has all the good feels.
In From The Cold by Lexi Blake: Misunderstandings abound in this short story. Gideon messes up with Jessica big time which makes her run. Reid is upset but keeps in touch with her. When both guys finally come clean about what they want with her, will she run again or fight like she should have done the first time. This is one smoking hot read!
Forbidden Redemption by Sidney Bristol: In this story, we get a preacher's son who is in love with his best "girl" friend. He's the good guy and she's the "bad influence".This story had me from the first as you follow the couple on their journey and hope they discover what true love means. Will Willow do the right thing when given the choice of going against the rules to protect herself and her job? Or will she turn the tables on the bad guy and finally find redemption in the eyes of the town?
Midnight Wild by Mari Carr: Oh boy, was this one hot little story. Brooklyn thinks New Year's Eve is going to be a bust but her 2 bosses, Elijah and Logan, have plans for her. They've been watching her for awhile now and it's time they let her know about their feelings for her.
Scandalous Billionaire by Sierra Cartwright: Lizzie doesn't want to be just another woman for billionaire Braden. She thinks it's just one night but Braden realizes he wants a lifetime. Can he make her see how special she is to him before she leaves? Love this series!!!
The Professor by Katana Collins: A famous broadway director, a beautiful burlesque dancer and a jealous woman and put them in a classroom together and you have lots of drama. Reid is teaching a class to undergrads and when he realizes that one of the students was the dancer who gave him a very private dance, things get interesting! If they are found out, it could mean the end of Hazel's college classes and one girl is determined to make sure she gets the part that Hazel has. Can Reid and Hazel teach her a lesson? This was an enjoyable story and I just loved it.
Innocence Uncaged by Jenna Jacob: When Katiana heads up the the cabin her father owned, she runs across the man she loved and thought was dead. Ryder left the sporting world when he killed a man while fighting him. Although it was an accident, he retreats from public and then Katiana's father and him decided to make sure no one bothers him and fakes his death. What happens when the truth comes out? Will Katiana stay with Ryder or go back home? Smoking hot story.
His Private Collection by Geneva Lee: This story was short but the heat was over the top. Get the fan and some ice water ready because you are going to need them when Brock and Lily get together!!
All Falling Down by Angel Payne: Hot little story about Adan and Kate who get another chance at love. Only one problem.........he's now her boss!!! Oops!!! Can it work?
Seductive by Willow Winters: Okay, I have to be honest. I read this story and didn't see at the first that I probably should have read another book first, even though this is a stand alone. My bad! Addison and Daniel are married and have been through something horrible. This is a dark mafia type read and it makes me want to go back and read the book that was suggested to get this couples complete story. I will do that in the coming week or so but for this story, I will say that it made me want to go back and see what has happened in their lives previously. It's well written so that I get an idea of what has happened and it makes me want more. Very good extension of the book Possessive!

This review is only based on the stories by Shayla Black and Lexi Blake.
Seduce the Bride - Shayla Black
This one gave me a creeper vibe. I think it came from the start when Hayden talked about Perrie and knowing her from when she was 12 and how as she grew up he became attracted to her. Sure he didn't do anything, but it didn't let that creeper vibe go away for me.
In From The Cold - Lexi Blake
The people in this one drove me nuts! I wanted to throttle each of them at one time, all of them were interested in each other, yet they couldn't let themselves take a chance and be happy with each other. It took most of the whole story before they let themselves be happy.

Oh My God!!! (I didn't even want to abbreviate.)
I have NEVER read an anthology where I read every single book and did not skip at least one. All 10 stories from the first to the last was Absolutely Phenomenal!!! Starting with Shayla Black's story of a love that grew from watching an innocent girl grow up to be the woman of his dreams and not doing anything about it because her father was his partner. But then realizing letting her go, was not an option. For those fans of Mari Carr's "Wild Irish" series, she takes us back to "Pat's Pub" with "Midnight Wild" where we meet Brooklyn (best friends with Darcy Young, daughter of Riley Collins Young) and her men, Elijah & Logan - Talk about an "Awesome" read!!! All the way to the very last book by Willow Winters who gave us a story of childhood sweethearts dealing with their loss and her feelings of loneliness and his determination to not let her go. To tell you about each book would take a long time. So I'm off to read it again.
Looks like I also found some NEW Authors to read!!!

This is one amazing anthology! Each and every story captured my interest and kept me reading every sexy delicious novella. While I have read some of the authors, I now have more to follow and check out their books. Each Alpha brought his own confession to the table and there is steamy sexy romance in some and sexy delightful romance in others. All are well written and we meet new characters as well as some we have seen in other books. Besides all this great sexy writing, the proceeds go to a charity called 4 Paws for Ability. Not only do you get fantastic stories, you help this magnificent group that helps both children and adults. Get this book and get all cozy and be ready to be swept away to wonderful places with yummy Alphas; you will not regret reading these stories.

This is a wonderful collection of novellas by a group of amazing authors. I felt privileged to be part of this incredible charity "4 Paws For Ability". I have reviewed 4 of the stories in this Anthology thus far.
Scandalous Billionaire by Sierra Cartwright...
Braden Gallagher got the shock of his life when he found Elizabeth Ryan rummaging in his bedroom closet of all things. First thing he noticed, she was all grown up and beautifully sexy. They knew each other in Highschool 10 years ago. Her mother looked after the Gallagher household for years. Braden was rich, gorgeous and dated many women in his life. But he was not interested in a long term relationship, but Lizzie could definitely change his mind.
When Lizzie was helping her mom get ready for a huge anniversary party at the Gallaher residence, she came across a man's tie. As it was Braden's home, she thought a quick trip to his bedroom to put it back in place would be easy enough to do. Not so lucky, Braden caught her in the act. She had a huge crush on him in school and the way her body was reacting to his presence, she still did.
The sexual chemistry between them was apparent from the get go and she learned that Braden had a certain "lifestyle" that she was intrigued in and wanted to learn more. We follow this couple as they discover their true feelings about each other. This was a hot quick sexy read and as always Sierra Cartwright does not disappoint.
All Falling Down by Angel Payne...
Katherine Casey is the Chief Operations Office of a company called Up-To-Eleven Sports Gear. The company approves products such as skateboarding, BMX Lines, etc. There is quite a story involved with a douche canoe named Brett Buckhorn. He had unusual ways of how he wanted her to show her appreciation in acquiring that title. Katherine's friend Edie in this story is a pistol. She is feisty and a hoot, always trying to get Katherine to let her hair down and forget about her job once in a while and have some fun.
Katherine lives precariously through her earlier days in school when she had a hot sexy encounter with a boy named Adan Tyler. He was her first experience in everything smoking hot. She can never look at a library the same ever again. She is thrust out of her daydreams into reality when Adan literally bumps into her in the lobby of her workplace. Adan has definitely grown up to be quite a gorgeous man from the boy she first knew. Adan is thrown for a loop when he sees Katherine again. He has never forgotten her and she was the one that got away.
Adan and Katherine do a lot of sexy flirting and end up going much further. Katherine still has insecurities as Adan is known to have quite the reputation with the ladies. This story was fun and sexy and has a couple of twists that definitely keep your interest.
Seduce the Bride by Shayla Black...
Hayden Hughes is in a hot mess of a predicament. He has sexual feelings for his friend and business partner's daughter. Normally that should not be a problem, but she is 12 years his junior and has her whole life ahead of her. Perrie Atkins has always had a crush on Hayden. They have known each other for years and are good friends and have fun together, good clean fun. But as time has gone on, she has found herself in love with him. To her an difference in age is not an issue. When Perrie propositions Hayden, he finds himself in a very hard dilemma. His body is on board for having some steamy sex with Perrie, but his mind is a whole other matter. He has to be the mature one here, so he says it can't happen. It would jeopardize his personal and business relationship with her father.
Fast forward 4 years. Perrie comes home and with her a surprise. Hayden finds himself kicking himself for letting her get away. He makes it his mission to win her back at all costs. But he does not have much time to make this happen. A wonderful quick saucy read that was fully enjoyed by this reader.
Seductive by Willow Winters...
This is an extension of Daniel and Addison's story. I would recommend that you read Possessive first.
I was more than thrilled to pick up on Daniel and Addison's lives as I was left wondering about what happened with these two after reading Possessive. Although a short novella, Willow Winters has jampacked a lot of emotions into it. Addison is so in love with Daniel that she makes the decision to return to the darkness that is his life with his brothers, the Cross Brothers. She knows that when she returns, it is to the ruthless and dangerous lifestyle that goes hand in hand with Daniel. She still does not feel that she fits in with this family, but she does want to be a part of a family unit. She knows that Daniel would die to protect her and his love for her is what draws her back to an unsure future.
Scandalous Billionaire by Sierra Cartwright...
Braden Gallagher got the shock of his life when he found Elizabeth Ryan rummaging in his bedroom closet of all things. First thing he noticed, she was all grown up and beautifully sexy. They knew each other in Highschool 10 years ago. Her mother looked after the Gallagher household for years. Braden was rich, gorgeous and dated many women in his life. But he was not interested in a long term relationship, but Lizzie could definitely change his mind.
When Lizzie was helping her mom get ready for a huge anniversary party at the Gallaher residence, she came across a man's tie. As it was Braden's home, she thought a quick trip to his bedroom to put it back in place would be easy enough to do. Not so lucky, Braden caught her in the act. She had a huge crush on him in school and the way her body was reacting to his presence, she still did.
The sexual chemistry between them was apparent from the get go and she learned that Braden had a certain "lifestyle" that she was intrigued in and wanted to learn more. We follow this couple as they discover their true feelings about each other. This was a hot quick sexy read and as always Sierra Cartwright does not disappoint.
All Falling Down by Angel Payne...
Katherine Casey is the Chief Operations Office of a company called Up-To-Eleven Sports Gear. The company approves products such as skateboarding, BMX Lines, etc. There is quite a story involved with a douche canoe named Brett Buckhorn. He had unusual ways of how he wanted her to show her appreciation in acquiring that title. Katherine's friend Edie in this story is a pistol. She is feisty and a hoot, always trying to get Katherine to let her hair down and forget about her job once in a while and have some fun.
Katherine lives precariously through her earlier days in school when she had a hot sexy encounter with a boy named Adan Tyler. He was her first experience in everything smoking hot. She can never look at a library the same ever again. She is thrust out of her daydreams into reality when Adan literally bumps into her in the lobby of her workplace. Adan has definitely grown up to be quite a gorgeous man from the boy she first knew. Adan is thrown for a loop when he sees Katherine again. He has never forgotten her and she was the one that got away.
Adan and Katherine do a lot of sexy flirting and end up going much further. Katherine still has insecurities as Adan is known to have quite the reputation with the ladies. This story was fun and sexy and has a couple of twists that definitely keep your interest.
Seduce the Bride by Shayla Black...
Hayden Hughes is in a hot mess of a predicament. He has sexual feelings for his friend and business partner's daughter. Normally that should not be a problem, but she is 12 years his junior and has her whole life ahead of her. Perrie Atkins has always had a crush on Hayden. They have known each other for years and are good friends and have fun together, good clean fun. But as time has gone on, she has found herself in love with him. To her an difference in age is not an issue. When Perrie propositions Hayden, he finds himself in a very hard dilemma. His body is on board for having some steamy sex with Perrie, but his mind is a whole other matter. He has to be the mature one here, so he says it can't happen. It would jeopardize his personal and business relationship with her father.
Fast forward 4 years. Perrie comes home and with her a surprise. Hayden finds himself kicking himself for letting her get away. He makes it his mission to win her back at all costs. But he does not have much time to make this happen. A wonderful quick saucy read that was fully enjoyed by this reader.
Seductive by Willow Winters...

Alphas Confess All is an anthology consisting of broody alphas and their twisted secrets. Proceeds from the sale of this book will go to 4 Paws for Ability: a worldwide agency that enriches the lives of children and veterans with disabilities by training and placing quality, task-trained service dogs.
Who doesn’t love a hot, broody alpha? Those are my favorite type of men. Possessive, dominant, filthy-mouthed, and an alpha-hole. Yes, please!
I read Willow Winters short story, Seductive. Seductive is a short novella about Daniel and Addison. If you are unfamiliar with Willow’s writing, Seductive takes place after Possessive which is wear Daniel and Addison get their story.
I loved being able to dive into their lives again. Possessive left us on edge about their Daniel and Addison’s future and their story in Seductive really out my mind at ease. These characters are two broken pieces but when put together, they are whole.
I love Willow and her writing and I will always continue to support her and everything she does. This anthology is for such a great cause and I love everything it represents.
Check out this collection of broody alphas and support 4 Paws for Ability!!

This book is written by several authors all writing short stories! The stories may be short, but they quickly get to the point and are just as well written as a full length novel would be! Some introduced new characters, while some let us have a further insight into characters that we already know and love! It was an amazing read and I thoroughly loved reading it! I’m also down for the fact that money from the sale of this book goes to a good cause!! You won’t be sorry you got this one!! I loved it!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is an amazing book written by several authors, each of them leaving their unique mark. The stories might be short but get to the point and leaves us honestly wanting to know more about the characters, they are amazing stories, sweet, sexy some more sexy than others but all equally great. I really recommend this book big time, I loved it!!

Well, this is a 2.5 stars rounded up to 3 because there were a few of my favourite authors in here. However that doesn't mean that their stories were necessarily good (see 1st story). So since these weren't published individually, you get the long version:
1. Seduce the Bride - Shayla Black
Hayden and Perrie (what a daft name) and a so-called virgin-taking load of rubbish I have never read before. Suffice it to say the whole thing was cliche bound, and by Ch 4 I was annoyed with the stupidity of it; not to mention a weird virginity-taking session. Basically awful, and not what I'd expect from Ms Black.
2. In From the Cold - Lexi Blake
Gideon and Reid are both lawyers, with a side-line of running BDSM seminars (cracks up laughing) Jessica is their favourite lady, although cast aside by Gideon in a prick mood, not to mention his denying Reid and their relationship. However, Ms Blake is superb at getting all the stupidity out of the way and giving us a very good (result) MMF story :)
3. Forbidden Redemption - Sidney Bristol
Keegan and (??) since I can't read my notes, only to say this was OK'ish
4. Midnight Wild - Mari Carr
Good story with Brooklyn, Elijah, and Logan. Good MFM story, nicely done by Ms Carr.
5. Scandalous Billionaire - Sierra Cartwright
Braden and Lizzie and the usual 'money' reasons for doing/not doing things. Good story.
6. The Professor - Katana Collins
A new-to-me author, impressing with this short story of very hot Professor Reid, and Hazel. I found parts quite funny (was I supposed to??) but it made me smile.
7. Innocence Uncaged - Jenna Jacobs
Here we have Ryder (aka Rage) an MMA fighter, and Katiana (aka Kat) an 18 yr old. I found it difficult to imagine a romance between these two; and the story was quite 'iffy' (I didn't find the characters convincing enough to prove love) :(
8. His Private Collection - Geneva Lee
We have Brock Quinn (Big Boss Man) and Lily his secretary. I found this slightly stalker-ish, so not impressed.
9. All Falling Down - Angel Payne
Kate and Adam old school friends meeting again in a sport environment. OK I suppose.
10. Seductive - Willow Winters
Totally off-putting to read IMMEDIATELY that I need to have read the First Book (Possessive) First!! Addison and Daniel in a basic follow-on which one needs to have read first (if I haven't already mentioned that!)
So 10 stories, with only 4 giving me any sort of entertainment.

Review for In from the Cold by Lexi Blake:
Quickie review:
3.25 stars. I bought this book because I wanted to read this story, but I was a bit disappointed. This story was MMF, when I thought it was (and prefer to read) MFM. Not only that, there is an already in love an established couple and another partner is added by the end. When this happens, I always feel like the third partner is not really needed or as valued. There was also too much lying, pushing away and angst for such a short story, and not enough rational conversation and resolution. I also would have loved an epilogue to see what this threesome's future looked like together, since there is so little resolution after the conflict. I did like the characters and the story in general, but, otherwise, this is not my favorite read by Ms. Blake.

~~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads ~~
This is a wonderful collection of super hot, super fun and super easy to read stories. Whilst they are all designed to get you hot under the collar; some are so hot that you will find you are fanning yourself; some tug at heart-strings as well as silken ones; and some will bring a huge grin to your face. They all give you a warm feeling by the end, and even though short there is plenty of drama, plenty of passion, and plenty of love. I think they also give a really good indication of the writing style and range of the talented authors who are featured in this anthology - definitely a good starting off point for discovering new favourites.
Seduce the Bride - Shayla Black
Here we get to see how the best friend's daughter is definitely all grown up, and knows just how to push buttons to get the result she wants. It is a high risk strategy, but what is the point in holding back ... the heart knows what it wants! This is both fun and cheeky as well as sitting at the edge of commonly acceptable, so is a great place for this anthology to start.
In from the Cold - Lexi Blake
Oh this is a superhot story - I am almost loathed to say anything other than that, as it unfolds deliciously and ... well, fanning myself still at the thought!! Lucky, lucky Jessica :-)
Forbidden Redemption - Sidney Bristol
Keegan and Willow have known each other forever, but a promise by Willow to Keegan's father has kept her feelings secret, and Keegan followed his father's wishes and entered a seminary. This Christmas though everything is set to change. This is a sweet story, and although I felt there was some unnecessary description in places, it did add to the homeliness of Willow's life compared to the humanitarian work life pursued by Keegan.
Midnight Wild - Mari Carr
I think this may be many single women's fantasy way to start the New Year! Double the attention, double the fun - and in this case a promise of it being a one-off most definitely broken. For such a short story, it manages to give Brooklyn enough strength of character and of resolve to make the careful attention paid to her by Logan and Elijah absolutely perfect.
Scandalous Billionaire - Sierra Cartwright
I love how we first meet Lizzie and Braden - it sets the scene perfectly on their past acquaintance, how much they have changed, and just what is in Braden's third drawer down! The promise is most definitely delivered and in the very hottest of ways. I could happily have read 300 pages before I got to the Epilogue!
The Professor - Katana Collins
Collins was a new name to me, but I will definitely be reading more by this talented author.
Having worked in academia, I enjoyed the ethics, the lack of boundaries set upon Reid due to him not really being faculty, and the fun that he has with his class. Ok, so all in aim of pleasing Hazel, but still it was a really entertaining backdrop to an ethically questionable, but undoubtedly hot and lusty beginning to a relationship.
Innocence Uncaged - Jenna Jacob
This (almost) second chance romance has a dramatic, and chilly start, but definitely warms up. I don't want to risk spoiling the story for you, as the twists and reveals are important. The confession is most definitely worth the wait for Kat, that I can assure you!
His Private Collection - Geneva Lee
How can an avid reader not enjoy a book which is based around a library - and let's be honest, this is the very best type of library that a fan of erotica could imagine!
Sadly Lily's initial problems with being lonely whilst in a vibrant city such as London are not unique ... but I have a feeling that her adventures herein probably are, more's the pity. Be ready for a journey into the erotic, and a very happy ending.
All Falling Down - Angel Payne
Although Kate's memory of one time in the school library with Adan is still fresh ten years later, it is a little bit of a surprise to crash into him, literally, in the office lobby. Inevitably it gets more complicated before they find out how they really feel about each other - but all in a good way. I love sports romances, so Adan being a BMX / Skateboarding champion added an interesting twist to the story for me. The fact that he has just invested in the company she works for is going to muddy the waters, but he is not a man that likes to lose.
Seductive - Willow Winters
It is clear from the prologue that this short story will be far more meaningful if the reader has read Possessive first. That said, I found it to be an intense, complicated relationship which although illusive to me in some background elements, was vivid enough to be an engaging read anyway. It deals with some harsh truths, and definitely means that I will be going back to read Possessive soon.

Sooooo...Alphas Confess All is my first anthology of sorts (yeah, yeah I know!!) and what an experience it’s been! A collection of short stories all in one book from 10 best selling authors, quite a few I already know and been meaning to read; some I’m a one click reader to and some are completely new to me.
First of I must say what an absolutely amazing charitable cause to 4 Paws for Ability. I’d buy this book just for that reason!!
About Alphas Confess All:- well it’s a collection of hot and forbidden short stories, and I should really shout out HOT and FORBIDDEN!! The authors did not spare the heat, the passion, the lust, the desire...
Seduce the Bride - Shayla Black

Forbidden Redemption - Sidney Bristol
Keegan and Willow’s story grips you to the core. It’s beautiful m, sweet and heart wrenching. This is a friends to lovers romance but forbidden because why would anyone object to the pastors son and the towns “loose girl”.
Midnight Wild - Mari Carr
One my world!! I absolutely was smitten with this story!! Brooklyn and her two bosses have a NYE midnight encounter- they set the course for the New Year for her when all her forbidden lustful fantasies come true- for her and for the two best friends. If nothing gets you hot, trust me this story will!!
Scandalous Billionaire - Sierra Cartwright
This story was a quick paced one with the now grown up Elizabeth who is helping her mother plan an event for her (mother’s) boss Braden- Braden is every bit the Dom and his kinks has sparks an interest in Elizabeth who had sworn off this forbidden rich boy now successful playboy business man.
The Professor - Katana Collins
The chemistry is off the charts with Hazel and Reid’s story! Oh wow, I definitely need to read more from this author; I was captivated from the start to the end! When an almost encounter with a burlesque dancer in a private room moves to being the her professor... this story you need to read!! It’s so easy to connect with the characters.
Innocence Uncaged - Jenna Jacob
This story is EVERYTHING!! I was gripped while heartedly from the start to the end. Kat and Ryder will woo you in every way. Age gap, first teenage crush, ex UFC champion... the chemistry is more than enough create their own storm. Jenna is another new author to me and one I definitely need to read more of!!
His Private Collection - Geneva Lee
I almost convinced myself I couldn’t read and enjoy another sex club type book- ALMOST and this isn’t just another sex club book! It is sensual on every level! Prepare to have your world rocked!!
All Falling Down - Angel Payne
I throughly enjoyed this book. I love a second chance and forbidden/ office romance. Kate and Adan are just swoony.
Seductive - Willow Winters
My personal favourite, as Willow Winters is an author I connect with through her books and Seductive is part of the book world that’s my book heaven. Daniel and Addison stories is extended from Possessive and holy wow!! My heart cannot believe what I’ve just read!!

Scandalous Billionaire by Sierra Cartwright – 5 stars
Lizzie grew up with Braeden, and she had her crush on him through her teenage years. Now back to help her mom, the attraction between them is electric and overwhelming. Braden doesn’t deny himself of Lizzie, but when she backs away afterwards because of his reputation, he is at a loss of what to do. He had already knew Lizzie was different, and he has to find a way for her to give him a chance. Sexy and emotional, this story was perfect!
In From the Cold by Lexi Blake – 5 stars
Goddess, I love a good MMF, and Lexi delivers it so beautifully here! An office attraction, and a years long secret affair throws everyone out of sorts. 6 months later, they are trying to work things out, but hurt feelings and lingering pain hold things back. When Gideon Dom’s up, Reid and Jessica don’t stand a chance!
Midnight Wild by Mari Carr – 5 stars
This anthology is spoiling me, an MFM, with two dominants, I think I’ve gone to heaven! Brooklyn has been lusting after her bosses for two years, and they her. When they nearly lost her to another man, they are not wasting anytime making sure her string of bad luck on New Year’s Eve takes a turn, or two, for the better, and into an HEA!
Seduced by the Bride by Shayla Black – 5 stars
Love a good forbidden, she’s too young story, and then she comes back all grown up. The heat between Perrie and Hayden radiates off the page, and the emotional connection they have is right there with it!
Forbidden Redemption by Sidney Bristol – 3 stars
The story seemed to start in the middle of a story, and it explained some of why we were there, but it truly felt like you needed to read another book (??) to get the background and the reasons for the characters acting the way they did. Because of that confusion, it was hard to get into the characters or the story
The Professor by Katana Collins – 4 stars
I really liked this story, I love this trope! Reid and Hazel had such great chemistry, right from the beginning, and it sustained itself through the whole story. Loved that epilogue!

OMG what is not to love about this anthology?!?!
First, it's all my favorite steamy romance authors and second, it's for a great charity.
But let's get back to the book. I don't want to spoil anything because it's just sooooo good and quiet unique compared to others I've read in that some authors opted to give us new and unique short stories and some opted to dabble in already established worlds with new nuggets of deliciousness from some of our favorite characters while others chose to give us almost like deleted scenes. Either way, they do a fabulous job of setting up the stories before you dive in but just beware, you might be tempted to go back and buy more from your new to you or current favorite author *wink*. They are all JUST THAT GOOD!!!!
My favorite has to be by (dammit it's like you asking me to choose between my favorite desserts, it just can't be done but if I have to *sigh*) Angel Payne. She gave us a cute twist on a high school second chance romance where the man has been pining after the girl just as much as the girl has been for him. I liked the twist and he reminded me of some really cute nerds that grew up to be freakin' hot as heck! Although this guy was hot in high school too.
What I love about anthologies is that you get little nibbles of authors you may not have read before or secret nuggets of characters you love all while waiting for the kids to get out from school or waiting at the doctors office or even waiting for an Uber. What I'm trying to say is that these are quick reads, I think they are all under 20k words each. So pick it up, feel good about supporting a great cause and get lost in some hot alphas for a little while. I personally recommend getting the paperback because you can use it to go to some author signings and work on getting everyone to sign in one book!
