It is interesting to see how this author's work has evolved over time. I feel like these books have a different level of intensity.
The Alphas Hunger
This was a little confusing to me in the way things were laid out in the book. For example, I found out at the bar that Ben felt guilty about his father and brother's death, but it wasn't until almost the end of the book that the circumstances were revealed.
I spent most of the book wondering what Ben did regarding his family to make him fight his natural attraction to Ashley so strongly. Also, knowing he was an Alpha wolf, why was he so convinced he couldn't lead the pack?
I know it was explained a bit, but it didn't seem (to me at least), that there was enough information to merit those feelings.
Overall, if you are looking for a sexy, Alpha wolf dominant, spanking take, this should fit the bill.
The Alpha's Promise
Interesting storyline and characters. I had a like/dislike relationship with Melissa. Admittedly Cody had his own preconceived notions about her, but he didn't seem to be deliberately hurtful in the same way she was hurtful. I understand she was trying to protect herself, but Cody was trying to protect her too.
They ultimately achieve their HEA. I want to see how Mark and Colleen work out their relationship.
The Alpha's Punishment
I would consider this a bonus story or epilogue to The Alpha's Hunger as it revisits Ben and Ashley's relationship now that it is further down the road. A matter of a lack of communication.
The Alpha's Protection
Mark and Colleen's story has more of a Daddy Dom sense to it. Of course Colleen takes it upon herself to try and protect everyone by herself. Why do untrained h's do that when they had trained partners or friends right on their doorsteps?
This set is full of alpha dominance, full on open door heat, spanking, and a pinch of a Daddy Dom rescuer. 4.5 stars
If any of this offends you, I would take a pass on this set.
If this is your jam, you should enjoy the box set
