Shifters done right!

Another shifter story done right! I’ve said it a million times and I’ll keep saying it, a shifter should only be able to be with his mate! I love that this series has that element. Roman and Bailey run into each other (literally) in the grocery store and they know they are meant to be! Bailey’s brother being one of Roman’s enemies and old rivals from the past resurfacing cause a slight bump but they never waiver.

-no cheating
-no ow/om drama
-dual virgin
-no pushing away
-plenty of steam
-well behaved secondary characters
-epilogues 7 months and 12 years late

it was ok, slightly better than the first.

Safety: safe, dual virgin, no others after meeting

[Chalice · Rating 3 out of 5]

The couple: Roman and Bailey

Romance genre: shifter
Series: The Dixon Brothers
Length: 94 pages

Plot: Bailey comes back to town where her brother lives, and while at the grocery store, runs into Roman. Roman, a bear shifter, knows right away that Bailey is his mate. Bailey is as entranced with him. The problem? Roman and Bailey's brother are mortal enemies.

Commentary: This was, per usual for this (and related) series, super over-the-top, insta-love, obsessive/possessive hero with lots and lots of sex and an epilogue featuring multiple children. Nothing earth-shattering, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Previous book in the series: Alpha Possessed
Next book in the series: Alpha Dominated

Bailey and Roman

The second Dixon brother gets his story. Roman is rough around the edges, except when it comes to Bailey. Bailey is as excited as Roman is when they find each other. A bit of action and drama along the way to their HEA.

[Sarah · Rating 2 out of 5]

Bear shifter/ human h / ex military / low drama/ safe/ some steam

Safe read with HEA and no drama really.

This is book 2 and for me it was better than book 1. I think we see their development a bit more and I liked Roman and Bailey together.

The things:
-Small mountain town
-Bear shifter and human
-Dual V cards
-HEA
-Small family drama, her brother and H don’t like each other at all before H and h get together.
-some steam but these really aren’t super steamy
-This author is suppose to write OTT alphas but they are just what I feel like is typical protective shifters of their mates.

There’s a reason Olivia T Turner is the queen of OTT heroes and is a one click—it’s because she delivers the goods!

Another freakin winner! I really loved the tension between the hero and claiming his enemy’s sister. And the way it was shown, not told, was excellent. Quick, with a punch, but it set the stage and made the romance between H/h a little more thrilling. Just so damn good.

COMPLETELY SAFE, from dual virgins, to no abuse, obviously no cheating, no ow/om, with an HEA and epilogue.

[Abbie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as book one the story felt very much like a copy and paste of the first book but the characters didn’t feel as likeable or appealing as the last one

[Vinessa · Rating 5 out of 5]

this was a grat read. Roman finds his mate another Dixon man off the market.
Baily is back from her yea long ravel across the globe her brother Enzo is glad to have his little sister home.
Roman and his "brothers" are sharing a beer when the firefighters start trouble, getting them all banned from the only bar in town.
Two mates meet in the shampoo isle of the supermaket.
Thing get real from there.
Bailey knows her mate when she feels him, she is finally whole. Roman is excited he finally has his mate by his side.
Not thinking they walk hand in hand past the firestation, Baily is exited when she see's Enzo ready to tell him all about finding her mate, only the encounter goes side ways fast. Thrown over Romans shoulder Bailey watched in horror as her brother shifts into is grizzly bear. On the run with no where to go they hit the highway, tense and confused. But soon the heat in the cabin of the truck gets overbearing and they head to a hotel for some alone time. Their passion is all consuming, neither noticing the danger lurking in the shadows.
The next twenty four hours are pure bliss. Then Enzo pulls up just as they about to leave, but he will have to wait in line to kill Roman becasue the wearwolves are back with the same intention. But with Baily's pleading eyes emploring her brother to help her mate, the wolves are defeated again, nine bikes roar to life with nine bruised and naked angry mersenaries retreating. The tension is still thick but bearable between Enzo and Roman. With a handshake and we'll see you he is off. The ranch is bustling with confusion when  they pull up. Then the talk turns to their past coming for them once again. With Enzo and Roman's fued out of the way Bailey and Roman can start their lives.

Fantastic loved this

Brilliant second book. Bailey has just returned home from being abroad for a year she is living with her brother. First opportunity Bailey gets is to get the conditioner for her hair as she had run out whilst she was away what Bailey didn’t expect was to meet Roman her mate. Bailey isn’t a shifter but her brother Enzo is so she knows all about mates and what it means.
Roman can’t believe he standing in front of his mate finally he feels complete he soon finds out that her brother Enzo is a firefighter and they don’t get along with each other. Roman takes them to a hotel as her brother will be watching his home. As they leave the hotel Bailey’s brother turns up not happy that he is with his sister but then he has more trouble the lone wolf shifters turn up. Roman has to fight to keep Bailey safe and the trouble him and his brothers have with the wolf shifters.
Bailey yells at her brother and he ends up fighting with Roman to take the wolf shifters down they end up getting on their bikes riding off as the two bears chase after them.
Roman finally gets to takes Bailey back home and introduce her to his family and also agrees to being good with Enzo since he is now family but for the rest of the family he can’t say they will, well you can’t have everything but having a mate is everything.

3.5 stars.
I absolutely love Olivia T. Turner’s books, and this one was no different. It had the soul mate, over the top, possessive, insta love, that I adore. The protective love between Roman and Bailey is inspiring and so sweet. The sex is positively filthy and steamy. The epilogues are sweet and satisfying.
The only thing I’ve noticed about her shifter books that I’m weary about, is that the heroine is never ever a shifter even if she has a shifter parent, and I feel like, after so many of these kinds of books, there’s no way NONE of the guys’ mates are shifters too. Especially when every single one of their children are always shifters. Girls included. So what? The shifter gene in women skips a generation?...even that theory has flaws. I don’t know. It’s not a huge problem. Just a thought that keeps popping up when I read that yet another mate is born of a shifter father, with a shifter brother, but she’s human...
Don’t get me wrong, though. I will still be devouring anything else she releases next. I’ll just be wondering.

Rowan and Bailey’s story will consume your heart!

I never tire of Olivia’s shifter romances!! Rowan and Bailey’s story is sweet and packed with just the right amount of steam, action and drama that you can read in one afternoon. I loved Bailey’s sweet yet sassy personality and swooned over Rowan’s dominate and possessive one - when the match is lit between these two, it’s like kerosene on a fire and it doesn’t go out. Olivia continues to win me over with her ability of pulling me into the worlds she creates with characters I love and will revisit in the future, this one is going to be added to my favorites on my kindle. Definitely worth picking up and giving a shot if you love shifter novella romances.

****I received an ARC of this story directly from the author in exchange for my honest review****

[Lauren · Rating 4 out of 5]

First things first; I really like the cover of this book!
Alpha consumed is the second book in the ‘’Dixon brothers’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. As soon as Roman scents his mate he is determined to make her his woman. The only problem being that she is the little sister of an enemy of his.
The chemistry between Bailey and Roman is clear to see and I liked them together. I liked that Bailey didn’t let her brother stop her from being with her mate.
I liked that Roman and Enzo went from enemies to friends.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

[Rose · Rating 4 out of 5]

You could find “the one” at the grocery store.

I really liked this story. It was entertaining and enjoyable especially with the enemies that ended up having something in common. The characters were interesting and likable. Enzo was a wonderful protective older brother to Bailey. He was sweet with her and willing to go against his own wishes to make her happy. Bailey and Roman were both floored by their immediate attraction to each other. They figured out very quickly that they were mates. They were both protective of each other which was funny because Bailey was human. Being human didn’t stop Bailey from doing what she felt was necessary to protect her mate. I loved that there was steam and sweetness when they were together. Their happy ever after made me smile. I recommend reading this book.

[Julianne Macneil · Rating 5 out of 5]

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the second book in the Dixon Brothers series. In this book, Roman Dixon finds his mate with Bailey. Bailey knows about shifters and mates because her brother Enzo is a shifter and a firefighter. Bailey is excited to be Roman's mate, but her brother and Roman hate each other. Roman is very jealous when he sees Bailey hugging Enzo, but when he learns they are related, he knows he has to try to get along with Enzo for Bailey's sake. Roman and the brothers are also still involved with the feud with the wolf shifters. i like this book. I like how Roman found his mate. I think the brothers were the good guys who just wanted to be happy with their mates. Good one.

[hottie men · Rating 3 out of 5]

Alpha Consumed is the story of Roman and Bailey.

Tropes and inquires:
Insta love
Fated mates
Age gap I think
Hot dominant possessive alpha with a huge cock
Sexy innocent flustered heroine
HEA and kids
Good epilogue

They meet in a grocery store where she’s dropped some shampoo on the floor and it gets on him and then they find out they’re mates. They go for coffee and her brother catches them and turns out Roman and Enzo know each other. They get into a brawl but she and Roman escape to a hotel and he claims her. They get into a fight with Enzo when they return but that’s quickly dissolved as the 2 fight the Lone Wolf Mercenaries and they run off. She meets the family and it’s all good.

Solid 3.5/5

[Georgia Mouzouros · Rating 5 out of 5]

They keep getting better and better! Gruff Roman mated to sweet Bailey and nothing will stand in the way of being together, not even the twist you will have to read about!
We know what kind of problems the Dixon brothers have gotten themselves into and how much more if following them, but when trouble comes looking for him Roman and an unlikely other stand together to protect his mate, he is all but consumed by her and will do what ever it takes to keep her and keep her safe, as for Bailey she isn’t fighting it and wants everything he can give her despite the unease floating around them.
Epilogue 7 months
And 12 yrs
Babies! Lots of babies!

Great stuff!

Olivia’s alpha heroes are always OTT. Add a shifter to the story and you get OTT x2!

Roman and Bailey are great together. Bailey has a brother who is a bear shifter, so she is well versed on how they work. In this book, less time is spent on learning about how shifters work and more time is spent in the drama between the Dixon brothers and the fire fighter shifters and the mysterious Lone Wolf mercenaries. Not to mention all the hot times happening between Roman and Bailey. 🔥🔥🔥

Great read. The series is intriguing beyond the usual relationship between the hero and heroine. Highly recommend.

[Aspen · Rating 2 out of 5]

Honestly, I'm going to have to start rating these books lower as they never really change. The man is always vulgar, always talking about his girl's sweet virgin cunt and making it seem like he too isn't a virgin. The woman is always instantly turned on and basically turns into a whore/slut for her man. The beast/bear inside is always a snarling mess, yelling at the man he shares a body with to mark his mate, which the man never once loses control the first time they have sex. It's just all the same, and when you read them back to back, it just becomes a blurr.

[Becky Jean · Rating 5 out of 5]

Alpha Consumed by Olivia T. Turner is book 2 in The Dixon Brothers. It's a fast read with plenty of OTT hot shifters and action. When Roman and Bailey bump into each other they instantly know they are mates. But will a little thing like her brother Enzo and Roman's hatred for each other stop their mating? There is a run in with those nasty wolves that might just turn the tables on Roman and Enzo's future relationship with a little help from Bailey. Super fun read! Super HEA! Kudos!

[Ellen Small · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yet another huge hot hit from Olivia T Turner, the Dixon brother are seriously something special.

Roman is more frustrated than ever that he still hasn’t found his mate, that is till Bailey arrives back in town, there’s a huge issue that being Bailey is Enzo sister and Enzo and Roman are enemies, so how will these two get a happily ever after.

This author is one of my all time favourites and writes a shifter like no other.

[Lara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Something is Missing

Bailey is excited to be home with her brother. Traveling didn't satisfy her like she thought it would. Something is missing and she can't figure out what it is.
When she runs in a huge man at the store all her senses are heightened and something is telling her that he is what's missing, her mate.
The only problem is her brother and mate are enemies. Can Roman and Enzo come to terms without killing each other? Only time will tell.

[Mandi Garivn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mates with the enemy

Roman never expected the sister of his biggest headache would be his mate. His brothers and him have had major issues with Enzo and his fire brothers but when Enzo’s sister comes back from traveling it is immediate and strong the connection they feel and even though she is not a shifter like her brother she understand and knows what the feelings are. It will take them coming together and making peace with her brother to give them the HEA they deserve.

Bailey just returns home from traveling across Europe and feels there is still something missing from her life. She soon runs into a man finding out she is his Mate, her excitement and joy is short lived when she find out her mate Roman and her brother Enzo hate each other and consider eachother enemies.

I absolutely LOVED this book, I could not wait for the next book in this series.

But, he is in luck when he smells Beautiful Bailey. Both fall hard and fast. But when Roman sees his love near his swoon enemy will he loose his mind.

Overall; pretty good, a consistent OTT book. Nothing about this really stuck out to me as some of her other books did. Nothing about it was really bad, either.

Side note: really hoping Enzo (heroine's shifter brother) gets a book soon! Also hoping the polar bear shifter bartender, Dex, gets a book too!

Roman is looking for his mate!!

Roman hates the firefighters in town and tends to get in a fight with one in particular, Enzo. When Roman finds his mate, Bailey, they are both excited. That is until Bailey's brother, End I finds out as really wants to kill Roman now! This is a great read and I highly recommend it!

Sexy Bear in Aisle 6

Roman knows that Bailey is his mate the moment he scents her and even Bailey feels the pull despite being human. Unfortunately Bailey's brother is a nemesis of Roman's but the mate bond is strong and Roman will do anything Bailey even give her annoying brother a chance in this sexy tale.
