The Big Alpha in Town

*Received ARC from NetGalley for a fair and honest review** This book is a compilation of three stories by Eve Langlais, Milly Taiden and Kate Baxter. This was a fun, fast read. I will read anything by Eve Langlais, as I know that when I pick up one of her books there will be over the top silliness/craziness. And this book is no exception, and not to leave out the hot and steaminess! Bearing his Name by Eve Langlais Ark is a werebear. When he gets a note in the mail saying he's a dad, he's stumped and is bound to get to the bottom of whatever is going on. What he wasn't expecting was to meet his mate, Jade. There's only one small problem, his mate happens to be the sister of the girl he supposedly impregnated. I enjoyed the characters, and the chemistry. It was a fun, fast enjoyable read. The only thing that I didn't like was the sisters tie in with her ex-bf. Don't want to say anymore or I would be giving away major spoilers. Overall, was a fun read. Owned by the Lion by Milly Taiden Keir is a lion. And a lion that likes to leave his options available. Not into relationships, just likes to constantly be around beautiful women. Little does he know that his lifestyle will come back to bite him in the backside. So when he meets his mate, she doesn't fall at his feet like most women. He has to work at getting her to go out with him. And what's worse are all the women that he knows that aren't ready to let him go. Not only that, but Ally is his best friends sister. Another fun, fast read. I really enjoyed the characters and their chemistry. What I had an issue with was, Keir is supposed to be really close with his best friend and the mother, yet he never knew there was another sister? Other than that, I really enjoyed the book. No Need Fur Love by Kate Baxter Owen isn't expecting to find his mate. He's at the bar when Mia walks into the bar he's at and he overhears her talking about needing to get pregnant and he's intrigued. This book fell a little flat for me. It felt rushed, and incomplete to me. I really struggled to get through this book. Overall I did enjoy the book, and I look forward to hopefully reading some of the secondary characters stories. Hope this helps. Happy Reading!!!

Bearing his Name, Eve Langlais - If you've read Eve's books, you know she has a knack for humour, puns, and groaners mixed in with her sexy times. This is no exception, and we actually get a two-fer in this story. Ark and Jade are our main couple, but we get to meet Mat and Stavros (who appears to be next), and Jade's sister Ruby has a storyline with some bears and an Xavier. Jade and Ark are perfectly cute together Owned by The Lion, Milly Taiden - this started out as a meets a fated mate, then makes it a fake mate until telling about a being a real mate. It quickly got emotional though, with both our characters being honest, and a family illness to be dealt with. Not all happily ever afters come with all of life's problems solved, but it was still a forever and whatever life brings No Need Fur Love, Kate Baxter - After centuries of ruling, some rulers get a little crazy. This is the case with Mia's dad, but she didn't see it until it was almost too late. Luckily, she stumbled into Owen and she is his mate, not that she wanted one, or understands it. Actioned packed and sexy, this was the jewel of the collection for me!

Eve Langlais -Bearing His Name: This story features Arkadios Pietro Matis (bear shifter) and Jade Cadeux. I freaking loved this story and I give it 5 brilliant stars!!! I could not stop laughing from the first page. The antics and fights that happened between family are all typical bear behavior and the honey? Ohhhhh the honey. Lol. I loved it. There is a brief mix up that is soon remedied and I just loved it. I really can’t say how awesome this read was for me and I am eagerly anticipating Stavros story next! ***** Milly Taiden-Owned By the Lion: This story features a lion shifter Keir and his mate Ally. This was about a once upon time lion shifter who slept around a lot, who meets his mate. Ally knows all about Keir’s past conquests and does not want to be the next one on his totem pole. Little does she know, that she is his fated mate and that he no longer sees anyone but her. Filled with mild angst, some OW drama, however Keir and Ally do get their HEA in the end. 2.5 stars ** Kate Baxter-No Need Fur Love: Owen Courtney is a werewolf shifter despondent that he may never meet his mate out in the wilderness of Stanley, Idaho, however fate has other plans in store. Mia, a wood nymph, comes strolling into the bar that Courtney is at, only wanting a one-night stand. What Mia gets is a mated shifter, her Father on the brink of war with the werewolves and finally her HEA with Owen. 3 stars ***
