Synopsis
Happy-Ever-After has never been so intoxicating
Danger…
When a man has beaten it, he becomes a hero.
Lust...
When a woman tastes it, she is helpless to resist his pull.
Love…
It won’t come easily, especially between alpha men and their headstrong women. Threats lurk in the shadows, and the price for passion is often exacted with a bullet or a blade…but the sacrifice is worth it when devotion is the reward. Ten bestselling authors, masters of spine-tingling romantic suspense, bring you brand-new stories that will yank you to the edge of your seat and have your heart pounding as you turn the pages. Best of all, the proceeds will benefit 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.

********MY REVIEW**********

Alphas of Danger is a pretty fantabulous box set filled with some of the best authors out there today. You have stories that will alternately make you hot and melt your heart with the *SWOON* factor. This will keep you up with all the erotic and heat that this box set puts out.
Devoted to Wicked by Shayla Black—Shayla Black takes us back into her “Wicked Lovers” series and this time we get Karis’s story. She is Jolie Quinn’s sister and we met her in her sister’s book “Holding on Tighter.” Now we have her story with Cage who is her love interest.  Karis is stuck in Mexico and she is frightened after her passport is stolen so she calls home for some assistance and she is sent Cage…thing is, she has some history with Cage.  Cage shows up and he tries to find out why she has been avoiding him since NYE. He knows they have this instant chemistry, this heat yet she is bound and determined to fight it but he refuses to let her. Now on top of it, there is something hinky going on with what happened to Karis- someone is harassing her and trying to keep her in Mexico and doing it in the most strange and scary way. But Cage isn’t about to let anything happen to Karis, not on his watch.  Karis doesn’t know what to make of Cage all of a sudden wanting to be there for her and be there with her, yet something tells her he is serious but should she trust her heart, after he broke it last time?  This is a fantastic novella in the Wicked Lovers series and I will this could have been a full length book but I will take what is  given, for it another hit for Shayla Black!  My rating: 4.9 stars
Countdown by Lexi Blake--Ben is an Agent for Canadian Intelligence while Maggie is his American counterpart. There are times they work together and there are times they work against each other but this time-- they are working together again to stop a dangerous and seriously psycho mad man   who has made this killer new anthrax formula.  Maggie and Ben have this serious chemistry but have never acted on it. Ben has always wanted Maggie but he didn’t act on it until now during this mission. Maggie has wanted Ben but waited for him to show her he was interested but when he didn’t, she didn’t act on her feelings –until now –knowing this may be it, their last mission together, in fact their last hours on earth as they go after the nut case, they spend the last hours finally admitting their feelings to each other.  But did everything work out? Do they make it out alive after getting into the compound which triggers the bomb? Do they ever get that HEA in the end? Only way to find out is reading this awesome novella by Lexi Blake. This is such a lovely story and the co-workers to lovers is one of my fav genres. My rating: 4.8 stars

Revenge on the Rocks by Jenna Jacob—Another of my favorite authors is Jenna Jacob and she brings a beautiful love story with Nate and Gina. Gina is an older woman (12  years older)  who has feelings for a younger man named Nate. She fights having a relationship because she thinks because she is older she cant give him what she thinks he will want the most—which is a family (I.e kids) and that isn’t something she will be able to do but she loves him so she is willing to just stay with him until he grows tired of her and moves on for a woman his own age. Thing Gina didn’t count on is how much Nate really does love her –he loves her for who she is and age doesn’t matter. There is a lot of angst, emotional drama, and a OMG I loathe villain in this story along with the ups and downs a relationship goes thru along with passion, love, respect and HEA you love coming from Jenna Jacob. My rating: 4.5 stars
Seducing Danger by Kennedy Layne--Landon is in the Caribbean about to close this HUGE biz deal and he is staying at this lovely and fab resort. While there he sees this beautiful woman who catches his eye. Now she has caught his eye pretty much the entire week he has been on the island and now that his business deal is coming to a close, he goes to make his move.  Kelli, the beautiful woman, knows who Landon is for she was tasked with keeping him safe while he was on the island while he was doing the business deal and it was all secret and held without Landon knowing. Kelli thinks business and pleasure shouldn’t be mixed but WOW their chemistry is pretty strong and immediate when they meet up. Do they ever get a HEA or will her job keep them apart? I loved the novella and the storyline. I wish this was more of a full length story for it would have been crazy good with more fleshed out but as it was, loved this novella. My rating: 4.6 stars
There are other stories in this book that are worth reading which I definitely recommend—authors such as Carrie Ann Ryan with her novella Executive Ink (A Montgomery Ink Short Story),  Isabella LaPearl with Enforce Her ( A Leather, Pipes, and Passion short story), Kim Grosso with her book Hard Asset, Anissa Garcia with With a Vengeance, Kris Cook with CIA Covert Team  and Mari Carr with her story Power Struggle.  These are all some serious novellas that pack the heat, action, eroticism, emotional heart and above all, the love. I cant say enough good things about this box set , especially how this is written for a good cause which is for 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. You don’t want to miss out on this box set!!


My Rating:  4.9  stars *****
