review 1: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.The Tall, Dark and Alpha Box Set contains ten mostly large stories. This box set is a fantastic deal! Overall, this is a 4 star read. I would rate all of the stories between 3 and 4 stars. It gets 5 stars for value. I can honestly say there was not a single story in this box set that was poorly written. Most of them I moved through quickly and thoroughly enjoyed. Three of them were not my cup of tea, but that was due to personal preference, not poor writing. There is a surprising assortment of romance, making it great for those of us who like variety. The stories include paranormal romance, contemporary romance, fantasy romance, erotica, and science fiction romance. True to the promise in the title, the male l... moreeads were mostly alpha males. Admittedly, there were a couple of stories where the men did not fit my opinion of alpha. In the end I feel that having found only three stories I did not enjoy, this box set is a must purchase for any eclectic romance lover.
review 2: I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading this anthology, but I haven't been disappointed at all. This box set has something for everyone. Each story is unique and the heroes and heroines each have something that makes you want to root for them getting their happily ever after, whether it's with two dominant men who know just how to treat a woman or just one hot alpha that has sexy down to a science. Rock my Boat 4 starsI was hooked as soon as Rhonda and Simon met for the first time. That steamy interaction had me reaching for my fan. Sometimes a story is so hot that you just need to cool off. The development of Simon and Rhonda’s relationship was a nice slow build with plenty of sexual tension. I felt so invested in their story and I couldn’t help but root for them as Simon battled with his desire to become a normal man again and his hatred for the company that made him what he was, and as Rhonda dealt with the fact that she was the mate of a marlin shifter. Definitely one of my favorites in this series.Silver Tongued Devils 5 starsMy only thought as I read this story was: Raesa Daw is one lucky woman. Who wouldn’t want two incredibly sexy men taking charge in the bedroom? They fall pretty quickly, but when it’s right, it’s right and I can’t blame Raesa at all for sinking her claws into those two hunks as soon as she could. My mental image of Brom Raine was enough to make me sweat and let’s not overlook the lust-worthy Captain Na’varr. Bravo, Dawn Montgomery. You crafted a tale full of adventure, suspense and love that I couldn’t stop reading until the very end. Fight for Love 4 starsWhen Rebekah finds Rafael at her door, self-preservation probably told her to run and shut the door, locking him out of her life for good. But, I, for one, am so glad that she let him in. I’m a sucker for a hot alpha with a good heart who is willing to fight for what is his and Rafael fit the bill to a T. And once he entered the picture, there was no mistaking that Rebekah was his. He has a lot of work to do to achieve his goal, but Rafael is a determined guy…A very good story with an ending I loved. Crazy 5 starsAs much as I’m a sucker for hot alphas with good hearts, I am lost when it comes to bad boys who back up their attitudes with a healthy dose of kick ass. Zane is all alpha and so sexy that I was jealous of Ella for a minute there. He is the epitome of an alpha that will make you pay if you mess with what belongs to him. And Ella definitely belongs to him. But, as much as she is his, he belongs to her as well, and it’s that equality that makes for a brilliant story. I loved Ella’s ‘companions’ and how they protect her. Nothing beats your own built-in security system. This story took me places I didn’t expect. I enjoyed following Ella on her voyage of discovery and accompanying Zane as he came to grips with the fact that he had fallen in love. In other words, I am crazy for this story. Two big thumbs up. Sex with an Ex4 starsEveryone has that meddling family member that can’t seem to keep their nose out of everyone’s business, but Riley’s family takes it to a new level. Sometimes I just wanted to shake them...or Riley for letting them be so meddlesome. And then there’s Ethan. I’ll admit, I thought he was a bit of a bully at first, but as soon as he started his seduction of Riley, I forgave him all of his faults. You can really feel his all-consuming passion for Riley throughout the story. Plus the sex between them is hot! I couldn’t help but root for them to get back together. I was slightly put off by the sister, Megan, being so emotional when things didn’t seem to go her way, but that didn’t really take much away from what I thought was a very good story.In Her Wildest Dreams 5 starsThis is another one of my favorites. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be friends with a chocolatier, especially one who makes special chocolates just for you and lets you sample his creations? I was jealous, for sure. Erica and Gavin are so relatable. I really felt for Gavin, who struggled with that age-old problem of wanting to be more than friends with a woman who is afraid to lose the friendship. Through it all, I appreciated the way their friendship worked and how well they worked together. It was nice to see how they grew and figured out what they really wanted out of life, professionally and emotionally. This is definitely a story that is well worth the read. Player’s Challenge 5 starsI loved Devin and Gemma. This story about the pair reconnecting after so long was incredibly enthralling. You realize just how much Devin wants to be with Gemma when you find out the lengths that he’s gone to get her back into her life. Gemma obviously has her work cut out for her, having to resist Devin’s charms and maintain a professional distance while he is turning up some serious seductive heat. You can feel the chemistry in every interaction and the sex is more than steamy. Koko Brown has done a fantastic job of writing a story that hooked me from the beginning and kept me reading until the very end. Very much looking forward to reading more from her in the future. Two Cops, A Girl and A Pair of Handcuffs 4 starsThis story was short and sweet, getting straight to the point…Fantastically hot sex. I enjoyed this brief look into the beginning of what could be a very pleasurable ménage relationship. I appreciated the time Paige Tyler took to give these two hunks their own personalities within their liaison with Cilla. I found each appealing in their own way, especially Reed with his handcuffs. It’s a HFN rather than a HEA, but the way the story was crafted still produced a satisfying ending. I have a feeling Hayes and Reed aren’t going to give Cilla up very easily now that they’ve found her. Chase and Seduction 5 stars A wonderful, well-written story about two people who come together, despite their individual flaws and the stresses of both of their careers, that I thoroughly enjoyed. I loved the fact that Chase was both strong, dominating, and vulnerable, making him seem more human and down to earth and his kind heart shone throughout the story. His seduction of Reno was so sweet as well. I couldn’t blame her for being so taken by him. I loved the fact that she was able to find herself and lose her inhibitions because of Chase and his unique brand of loving. Randi Alexander also crafted a wonderful ending that was satisfying and makes me want to pick up the next book in the series immediately. Talk, Dark and Apocalyptic 5 stars This story has a slow build, but it is well worth the read. Watching Yeira and Audie working their way from enemies to lovers was enthralling. I was hooked fairly quickly and couldn’t stop reading. I loved Yeira’s feistiness and Audie’s strength. Audie is all alpha, and just the type of alpha I’d love to have at home, take charge, full of passion and fiercely protective when it comes to his woman. These two are focused on their goals and aren’t afraid to fight for what they believe in. Once they figured out they were on the same side, they made quite a formidable pair. The love scenes are smoking hot and I definitely enjoyed the slow build up of sexual tension that led up to them. Sam Cheever did a great job of creating a story that I could read over and over again happily…and I probably will. Two big thumbs up. less
