A collection of cliffhangers
I debated giving this 2 or 3 stars. The writing was good but almost every story is a cliffhanger. Not only that, but the cliffhangers are expensive and don't end soon. The first book has five books in the series and still aren't done. Each one is $6.99. I'm upset that rather than introductions to authors, I was held captive and forced to buy multiple expensive books if I wanted to get an ending. I don't usually spend that much on books and expecting someone to pay $6.99 each for four books and still not get an ending is unreasonable. This collection left me unsatisfied.

For the most point, this boxset was a good way to try some new -t0-me authors. It still being free, I'm definitely recommending.
FREE BESTSELLERS INCLUDED:
Born to be Bound by Addison Cain- 3 dystopian dark erotica stars.
Rebel by Helen Hardt- DNFed too soon to even rate. The writing style didn't work for me.
Twist Me by Anna Zaires- 4 kidnapped by sexy dangerous criminal, dark erotic stars.
Mine by Natasha Knight & A. Zavarelli- 3 ends in cliffhanger mafia romance stars
Ruthless Surrender by Zoe Blake- DNFed. I just didn't like this at all.
The Mistwalker by Regine Abel- DNF. I wasn't into the paranormal aspect. I only got about 2 pages in, so didn't rate.
Darkest King by Amelia Hutchins- This one is hard because the story included in this boxset felt like a sample. It had enough to get me interested. I ended up reading the linked and loved it. The stories aren't remotely related.
Captive Vow by Alta Hensley- 1 hell-to-the-no-dark-erotica-hard-limit-hit star.
Hard Code by Misha Bell- skipped without prejudice. The blurb screams wacky hijinks ensue, and I don't read those type of books.
Flame to Frost by Myra Danvers- 2 fantasy alien stars.
I don't read a lot of alien books, so don't let my "meh" stop you from giving it a go.

March 10, 2022Born to be Bound by Addison Cain - Already read apart from this collection (DNF)
Rebel by Helen Hardt - I kinda enjoyed this one. It was slow and sweet and hot and a bit boring, but nice. Annoying heroine, annoying hero, but the underlying mysterious plot about the murdered dad intrigued me.
Twist Me by Anna Zaires - DNF - with that heroine, I just couldn't
Mine by Natasha Knight & A. Zavarelli - DNF - I don't really know why this one wasn't working for me. It just wasn't.
Ruthless Surrender by Zoe Blake - 3 stars - I thought it was a hilarious story about a mercenary who loses his shit over a girl who thinks she's tougher than she is. It was hot and it was messy and it was entertaining and that's pretty much all I can ask for.
The Mistwalker by Regine Abel - DNF - this story had a lot of potential, but I felt it was overcomplicated and what could have been beautiful was coming across as boring.
Darkest King by Amelia Hutchins - DNF - I don't think this author is for me. Everything I've tried doesn't work for me so I think I'll stop trying.
And then I gave up reading

So 50% of the stories, FMC has been raped previously or is currently being raped by the MMC, except for Helen Hardt, Misha Bell and Myra Danvers stories. Amelia Hutchins story is only 6 chapters long, just an opener/teaser, dubcon. Quite disappointed some of my favorite authors have books in this anthology, no trigger warnings for rape, or child rape.

I don't know why I prefer to read anthologies at this time of year but I do. Maybe I like to end the year disappointed? Decades of therapy and I don't have an answer to this question.
Back to this anthology. Book 1 - DNF, who the F would think this is a good read? Ongoing rape, check. Captivity, check. Female lead vaginally penetrated by male leads wife against her will to check if she's pregnant, check. Me opting out ASAP, check. Horrible horrible horrible.
Book 2 - over 50 chapters...chapter 6 and I'm marking as a DNF. Get an editor, FFS. Update: skipped through, reading a paragraph here and there then hit the end and surprise! Ends on a cliffhanger. Over 50 chapters and the author decided to stick it to the reader by forcing them to continue the series if they want the answer to the mystery and the whole plot. Nope.
I may read a paragraph here and there throughout this but I'm so ticked off by the first two that I might not. I'll likely delete this whole anthology off my Kindle because these kinds of anthologies scream "authors who hate their readers!" to me.

dark themed stories. do not read if its not your cup of tea
Born to be bound – Addison cain
Pure heartache. Incredible story.. Worth more than 5 stars, this story completely captured my heart and broke just as hers did near the ending. I'm still reeling from the end but this book was absolutely gripping. Thrilling, hot, heart wrenching near the end, and just makes you want to scream from the robotic fierce alpha and the emotional needs from the omega. I think I really love this author. I've only read Sigil from this author but reading this story really shows how incredible Addison Cain is with her suspenseful creative writing pieces and how both stories broke my heart.
Renegade – myra danvers
loved this! ive read many omegaverse storyline but not often will it contain an absolute fighter of an omega female. fighting against her instinct and what she was bred to do, she does everything she can to escape it. a pack going after her but still not willing to submit, the ending was absolutely great and i cannot wait for the second book when it introduces another character. the personalities of everyone was very well described! so distinct and those back stories were amazing. extremely steamy hot story and i was entranced in each page.

Doom is the first , but not the last !!
I have read the Regine Abel story of Xian Warriors , called DOOM !
Doom is the 1st in the Xian Warriors series.
In this book first contact is made with Earth, and Victoria is a nurse. Her and her co workers are in the direct path of evil space creatures who are trying to take over the world.
Enter Doom and his brothers who are the only ones who can fight these nightmare creatures.
And they do it well !!
As Victoria and Doom fight and scrape for each hard won battle , their epic love story fights right along side them .
This book is a marvel and a titillating peek into the Xian' s and their worlds as peacekeepers in the galaxy !!
I am always thrilled to read about them !!!!!

I'm reviewing for Born to be Bound by Addison Cain.
Shepherd and Claire are fire! From the first paragraph to the last word these two have the steam sipping off the pages!
The tug of war between them is deliciously dirty and raw. Both are very set in their way of thinking which means the other is wrong. The extreme measures each take in this book are so intense! Claire is desperate to get away from Shepherd and to not fall for the monster she sees him as... Shepherd is determined to keep Claire with him and get her to see he will satisfy her biology make up at any cost.
I can never get enough of these two and their journey.

Wide array of stories in this collection. I was expecting them all to be like Addison's story in here and that was not the case. This was a perfect book to take to read at the pool. Some stories were exceptional, others I had read before but read again because I am a little OCD about not finishing books., and others were not my favorite. Yet, that usually happens in an anthology. I like that these were full books and not just short stories.

Some stories were good...
...and some were so bad they were too embarrassing to continue. There might be 2 or 3 stories for you to enjoy if you give this collection a chance- but brace yourself for sorting through some pretty cringe worthy stuff to find them lol

Cliffhangers and Hard No's 🧐
The first two stories were hard no's for me! Just reading the prelude left me know they weren't for me. Then Ms. Hardt's story ends in a cliffhanger. Perusing through the rest of the stories I noticed several said "book 1". So those too will have cliffhangers and my time is too valuable to endure those. Sadly, because of this, I just don't have it in me to read the others at this time. Ms. Hardt's story overall had steamy scenes and plenty of intrigue trying to solve a murder. Rock's and Lacy's story doesn't end on a happy note and if you want to find out who done it, you have to hope it's in Roy's story. Maybe you'll enjoy it as well as the others. 🤔

Quite a read
I have most of these books in my kindle but once I read the book in here had to go back and read the follow ups in my kindle so it was a slow read to get to the end. Met a couple of new authors to me so will be looking them up because they were good. There was a book that I would not have thought I would buy but surprise it was funny and sweet and a slow burn that kept me anticipating through to the end Hard Code by Misha Bell. Mistwalker by Regine Abel will be a follow up. All the other authors are already faves but I would highly recommend this book especially if you don’t already have most in this collection.

This review is for Rebel by Helen Hardt
Hellion on Wheels
I was reeled in right from the first chapter, it's that awesome. Rock is everything bad but so good. Black leather, a biker and green eyes, I am hooked. Rock returns to New York very reluctantly. The only thing that makes it worth the trip is Lacey. She is his father's lawyer and is handling his will. All Rock can think of is handling her, between the sheets.
Rock has secrets he is keeping close to his chest, for now. I look forward to finding out about these secrets.

The only thing that makes it worth the trip is Lacey. She is his father's lawyer and is handling his will. All Rock can think of is handling her, between the sheets.
Rock has secrets he is keeping close to his chest, for now. I look forward to finding out about these secrets.

One decent story in the entire collection
Between the forced sexual relationships and the Stockholm Syndrome, Hard Code was the one story I'd buy and read again. The first few stories had dreadful male love interests and cliffhangers. Many had truly triggering material with no warnings. One does have a warning. I was excited at the prospect of a good Omegaverse story, but it failed to be anything more than rape and Stockholm Syndrome. Kudos to the creators of Hard Code. Your story was brilliant and beautiful.

I got this anthology thinking that Amelia Hutchin’s Dark King would be complete in it… so I was disappointed to find that it was the same first 5 chapters I already read on her Facebook group!
Also, all the other stories in this anthology are all first books in series… the anthology might be free but then when I’m you start a series what are you going to do? Of course you’ll want to know what happens next… so o en send up buying 2 more books on the side to finish a story… and then decided not to read the rest of the stories in the anthology!

Just a taste
This is a wonderful collection of great stories! Several are part of a duet or series and all are top tier. I was introduced to the work of several authors I’d been wanting to read for a while, and I’m not disappointed in the least. Now I’m off to continue the most pressing cliffhangers, and I’ll be catching up with existing work and keeping an eye out for new work from all of these authors. Exceptionally well done and highly recommended!

Book#1 of many series.
Some are ok.
Its primarily established writers so at least the stories are readable.
I probably missed the blurb that these are just a taste of an authors series.
Many mafia books, which are not my jam.
I'm not organized enough to ever remember which story was written by who. This type of compilation never works for me.
But, if you like mafia and you are willing to take notes about the stories you like, you might enjoy this collection.

Again, a hit or miss anthology, but Addison Cain, Misha Bell and Myra Danvers make up for the rest.

This anthology is a total rip off!
These stories while interesting, all end in a cliffhanger. I got the anthology on Kindle Unlimited, but the continuations of all these stories are not and are spendy. Also, some of them are old. Don't waste your time on this ripoff!

The lineup of authors in this book is over the top Phenomenal! Some of my favorites and their work put together! What more could a reader ask for?!?!
If you're new to any of these authors, make sure you grab this book and get a taste for their incredible work!

Not worth reading
What I thought we're going to be short stories , stories that don't have endings. The stories leave you hanging and then lead you to a book to bye. That's not what I use My Kindle subscription.
