I was gifted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Reviews are posted for each individual book or coming soon :) This is a great set of books for an amazing price ($0.99) by some truly great authors. Enjoy!

Safe House - Dez Burke 4 *'s

Flint Mason left his family behind once to make a life for himself. He went from a member of an the Steel Infidels MC to become a lawyer. When his best friend is killed by a rival gang his brothers request he come back home and be the man they all know he truly is despite the years that have gone by.

When Flint is shot and they need help, the Steel Infidels trick veterinarian Dr. Kendra Shaw into helping patch him up. Although Kendra has her misgivings, the offer from the MC is just too good to pass up. Reluctantly she agrees to watch Flint during his recovery while the MC goes back to business as usual.

What none, especially Kendra, expected was for Flint to take one look at the good Dr. and decided he wanted her. Flint knows that he probably doesn't have a chance with a woman like Kendra. What can he offer her? But it still doesn't stop him from trying to convince her into his bed.

Is their fiery passion enough to make things work?

**cliff hanger**

Rage - Christa Wick 4 *'s

Avery Watkins life is not the best. Dealing with an alcoholic father who is abusive and steals her money for his beer is a big problem. She sees no way of escaping the nightmare that she lives on a daily basis. For as long as she can remember she's had the hots for Callan Tilley a member of the Thunder Gypsies MC. When Avery overhears members of the MC discussing committing murder she is shocked. Especially when she realizes that they are talking about Callan. She doesn't know what to do. When she realizes Callan is coming into the bar she does the only thing she can think of, she calls the police.

When Callan realizes that his sweet Avery was the one who saved him he can do nothing but take her with him on the run. He knows about her home life and refuses to leave her behind to deal with the MC who are trying to kill him.

When he finally convinces her that running is the best thing to do for both of them the adventures truly begin.

Outlaw Kind of Love - Nicole Snow 3.5 *'s

Rachel Hargrove is like a bird in a cage. Sheltered by her domineering father her entire life, not because he loved her but simply because he could use her like a pawn in his plans to climb the social ladder and in politics. When he suddenly betrays what small amount of trust she has in him and hands her over to Raging Skulls MC she is devastated.

Jack "Throttle" Shields is the Vice President of the rival Prairie Devils MC. His only thought when he saw Rachel in the hands of the Raging Skulls MC was that he had to save her. To him she looked like an angel on earth. From the start he had an interest in Rachel. He didn't understand how after so many years of being alone he suddenly had thoughts of having an old lady. As long as it was her and only her by his side.

Jack is determined to protect Rachel at all costs. Even if it means starting a war with another MC or making her father pay for what he did to her.

I did enjoy the storyline. I liked Jack from the start. He had a very sweet side to him that balanced out the dark. My problem is that I felt disconnected from the characters. I can't quite put my fingers on it. When I finished the book I felt like there was just something missing.

Riding Danger - Adriana Hunter 4*'s

Jace Dawson is the VP of the Iron Soldiers Motorcycle Club. Even though he doesn't agree with it he is forced into gun-running by the new President of his club. He is determined to stop this any way he can to ensure that his "brothers" are safe and taken care of. When he ends up shot after a gun deal he has no choice but to go to the hospital to get patched up. When head nurse Piper Reece walks into his room Jace finds himself taking a double look at her. Piper catches his instant attention but he realizes that he's not good enough for someone like her.

Piper doesn't know what to think when she sees the handsome biker in the hospital bed. She thinks he's one of the sexiest men she has ever seen. When she realizes just how much trouble Jace is in for his actions against the President of his MC she decides to take matters into her own hands and help him. Even if the cost is her job or puts her life at risk.

This was actually a pretty quick read. I felt like some more info on the main characters would have been nice but it didn't stop me from liking the book. Even though Jace was supposed to be this big bad biker he actually come off as being a sweet guy. Piper showed strength and determination in her decision to help a man she had just met.

Swish - Marian Tee 5 *'s

MJ Cartwright was a loner. Growing up with an alcoholic father who abused her verbally and physically was hell for her. She was sure that one day he was going to kill her with his bike stunts as he literally jumped his bike over her body on a regular basis. Not always with success. Her only consolation was a camera. It was her lifeline.

While out one night she hears someone crying. When she investigates she sees an act of heroism that changes her life. After that moment she held the memory close to her heart. He turned into her saving grace without even knowing it. His name was Helios Andreadis.

Helios Andreadis is the president of Afxisi, a bike club on the college campus. He is aloof and distant with even those closest to him. From the moment he meets this strange girl with violet eyes he finds himself strangely captivated by her. Helios is convinced that MJ is a danger to him. For one simple fact.... she makes him feel.

The chemistry between these two was interesting. MJ was so innocent half the time she was sure that Helios hated her. Helios on the other hand wants her with everything in him. The question is can he trust another woman again after the betrayals he's live through in his life.

Stone Cold - Olivia Rigal 4 *'s

This is the 3rd book I have had the pleasure to read from Olivia Rigal. I find her writing enjoyable in that she gives you just enough clues going in to hook you to the story and then won't let go till the end.

When Lisa Mayfield finds out that her brother has been killed while on an undercover assignment she has no choice but to go home. Home to a mother that hasn't truly been alive since her husband passed away several years before. Home to Brian "Ice" Hatcher. The only man she ever loved.

Only things aren't how they used to be. While her brother went on into the police service, Brian became the opposite. Now a fully patched member of the Iron Tornadoes MC. Lisa is confused about what is really going on and Brian is not talking. Their relationship is tenuous at best. Brian has secrets that he is refusing to let go of and Lisa suspects that the Iron Tornados had a hand in her brothers death.

I was a little disappointed in the way the realtionship with Brian and Lisa was portayed. (My reason for the 4 *'s). I really would have enjoyed more of them together throughout the book, even if it was memories of them being younger. I also felt slightly disconnected to her brothers death. His death was her connection to all the people she met once she got back to town. Seems like we should have gotten more. It was a short, fast read and there is another book in the works that hopefully (please please please) explains all the questions I am now left with.

All in all it was a plesant read.

This is a great bundle for an unbelievable price. I enjoyed this box set and it has introduced me to some new authors that I will definitely be keeping an eye out for. There are some cliffhangers but do not let that out you off, for the price of this bundle you can not go wrong! I particularly liked Outlaw Kind of Love by Nicole Snow and will definitely buy more books from this author. I received this book as a gift for an honest review.

Wild rides

Who doesn't love bad boys with tattoos that ride motorcycles. Every woman has a biker fantasy and a bad side just waiting for the right bad boy to bring it out!

[Carly · Rating 5 out of 5]

I haven't read all of the stories in this bundle yet, but I've loved every minute of the stories I've read! Packing a powerhouse punch of talented authors, this is a series that takes readers on a sensual ride. Alpha males, sexy women who stand by their dangerous men... who could ask for more?

OUTLAW KIND OF LOVE: Review
Rachel knew her father was a cold hearted and politically motivated man, but the depths of his depravity has landed her in the hands of a dangerous Motorcycle Club with a VP who is determined to ruin her innocence. When Jack "Throttle" Shields catches sight of the terrified woman held captive by the unscrupulous club requesting to pass through his territory he's determined to rescue the slight beauty before she is destroyed.

The sexual attraction between Throttle and Rachel is undeniable, but she isn't from his world and her father is determined to reclaim her for his own purposes. When the chemistry between the two becomes more than they can resist sparks fly. It becomes apparent that opposites attract and sometimes what you need more than anything else in the world is the person you least expect it to be.

The unlikely alliance between Rachel and Throttle causes all sorts of trouble. The club he rescued her from is determined to reclaim their prize, war is on the horizon, and Rachel's father won't let go of his goals without a fight. With the wellbeing of the club and their very lives on the line, Rachel and Throttle must fight for their love; but their differences cause unexpected miscommunications and just when it seems like happiness is within reach, new challenges arise to threaten everything.

A well written and intense MC romance; Outlaw Kind of Love is the first in Snow's Prairie Devil's series. With a well developed storyline, emotionally engaging characters and sensual love scenes, this series is on the top of my must-read list!

A copy of Outlaw Kind of Love was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.

STONE COLD: Review
Lisa has dedicated the past two years to her law studies. Between that and her waitressing job, she hasn't had time for love.... not that she's been looking either. She gave a part of her heart to Brian, her brother's best friend, years ago and has never gotten it back. Even though she hasn't seen him in years that small spark has never died. The day she get's the call that her brother, David, has been murdered all her priorities shift. She walks away from her job, school and a coveted summer internship to support her mother who never emotionally recovered from her father's death years before.

David has been taking care of their mother these past years but when she arrives home, there are more shocking adjustments to make than the loss of her older brother. Brian is back, but he's not the man she remembers and loved. Taller, broader, sexy as sin and running with the baddest bad boys in town, the Iron Tornadoes. His new forceful attitude and the coldness in his eyes both attracts and repels her. Is it possible he still carries tender feelings for her after all these years or have the mysterious changes in his life permanently altered his once gentle heart?

A well written and fast paced adventure full of mystery, romance and drama; Stone Cold is the first book in Olivia Rigal's Iron Tornadoes series. It introduces readers to Lisa's confused heart and Brian's dark secrets, building the foundation with a well developed and emotional storyline. The dramatic ending left me hungry for more; this series is addicting from the very first page!

BEAR BIKER LOVE: Review
Standing before the Council of Paranormal Creatures, the young Guardian is given her first task. Take one scarf, add a sexy alpha were-bear, mix in one spunky brunette and watch the chemical reaction create true love! It sounded like an easy assignment; the Council failed to mention that her charges are headstrong, stubborn, and have a band of hunters hot on their trail.... what's a Guardian to do???

Alex is a half-breed bear with nothing to live for. Nina thinks she's a human with nothing to lose. Together they have a passion that burns like fire! Bear Biker Love is a well written paranormal romance novella with action, adventure, a hunky bear, a curvy girl, and a loveable spirit Guardian whose halo is slightly tarnished.

CITY GIRL, COUNTRY WOLF: Review
Ruby is consumed by work. She doesn't have time in her life for dating and hasn't even considered looking for love. Heading to Nebraska to fix the mess her co-worker made of one of the most lucrative business deals she's headed in a long time isn't something she has time for, but her boss makes it clear that she has no choice.

Jason is a wolf in the middle of war. When Ruby shows up to negotiate a business deal with the leader of a rival pack, he can't deny the instant lust he feels for the curvy beauty he finds stranded in the Nebraska countryside, but he questions who she really is and if he can trust her, or his growing attraction.

Ruby doesn't understand why the handsome man who rescues her stirs her passions like no one she's met before, but giving in to her attraction isn't a priority, not when her boss is depending on her sealing the deal. When her night is interrupted by a wolf pack the wild beauty of the beasts both scares and intrigues her. When she is attacked by the CEO after their meeting, Josh again rides to the rescue. The shocking discovery that he, and the wolves who visited her last night, are more than they appear only serves to fuel her lust and attraction.

Giving in to the emotional high fueling that night is the most sexually satisfying experience of Josh and Ruby's life, but can a City Girl and a Country Wolf find a way to turn one night of passion into more? A well written paranormal adventure from the erotic pen of Aubrey Rose. An entertaining short story, it's steamy characters are ones I hope to see more of in the future. The ending doesn't leave readers hanging, but hints at the potential for more stories to come. The perfect pick-me-up romance for a rainy day, this one made me smile!

I downloaded this boxset a few years back and finally got round to reading it recently.

There was only book that I would actually suggest reading is Swish by Marian Tee.

Overall this was really cheesy, with the female character being a virgin and taken by a strong biker type, or the men being hung like a horse, the female character being treated badly by the man. I need a good book to cleanse my soul.

Hot Alphas is right!

Really enjoyed these stories. They were enjoyable, hot and most were HEA. I like that I got to sample some new authors without having to worry about cliffhangers! Thank you! I'll be reading some of these authors again.

[Teresa Van · Rating 5 out of 5]

Safe House – Really loved the how this story played out between Flint and Kendra. Kendra may be kind hearted but she can stand up for herself and is not afraid to do it. Flint has the whole conflicted biker good guy thing going on the just draws you in. This book was so good that I had no sooner finished this story and I bought the second book Liberated to read and it has been a hard choice of either finish this box set or read Liberated to see how Kendra and Flint are doing.

Rage – The courage that Avery showed by finally standing up and getting out a her situation and the loyalty for someone she was not sure even cared about her is a great start. Callen makes a great hero coming to Avery’s rescue. I can’t wait to read the rest of Avery and Callen’s story.

Outlaw Kind of Love - I love this book. Very gripping story about betrayal, building a woman’s worth, new friendships and love. Rachel and Throttle have to go through a lot to come out the other side with their love for each other intact. This is a well written book with just enough hot sex to keep things interesting but it is not all about the sex. This book is a five star book for sure.

Riding Danger – Piper and Jace make a good couple. I did enjoy this read but it kind of lacked grit to the story. It was a very nice romance with some hot sex mixed in but not the gripping MC story that most of them have. I would give it a four star rating for the romance part and three and a half for the MC story line part.

Swish – MJ and Helios have such a messed up thing going on between them that you just can’t seem to stop reading because you want to know what they are going to do next. This story just might be my most favorite one of this box set. I really can’t wait for the next part of their story to come out. 5 Star story all the way.

Stone Cold – Lisa and Brian This was an ok story. There seems to be more of a background book for the coming stories in this series. Not very much interplay between Lisa and Brian who are the main people in the book. I would give this a 3 ½ stars

Fearless Curves – Brandy starts out so uptight it is not funny but by the end it is so cool to see her let loose. Jack is not what you expect when it comes to a biker but I do really like how he is written in this story. Together they are great. I would give this story four stars for sure.

Worthy of the Billionaire Biker – I did like this story I find it very funny that Claire calls him Mr. King all the time. The scene about the ride to the airport I just wanted to say to myself like really… This was a well written story and I did enjoy it so I would give it a 4 star rating.

Bear Biker Love – This bear story was ok. Nina kind of seemed wishy washy to me and Alex did not come across as a really alpha type guy. I would give this story 3 ½ stars.

City Girl, Country Wolf – This was my least favorite book of all. The writing was kind of week. I would only give this story 2 ½ stars.

Safe House by Dez Burke 3.5 Star Review
The chemistry between Flint and Kendra is explosive! I would have liked this to be the full story and NOT a teaser.

Rage by Christa Wick 4-Star Review
Callan and Avery are on the run from the Gypsy MC. This book covers only their first step in reclaiming their lives outside the MC. Great story! Looking forward to book #2.

Outlaw Kind of Love by Nicole Snow 4-Star Review
This MC romance is about Jack and Rachel. The members of the Prarie Devils MC are pretty rough around the edges. They have a mild sense of legal and definitely not legal. The men and women are tough and the lovin' is rough! Fantastic story!

Riding Danger by Adriana Hunter 4-Star Review
Awesome romantic suspense! Jace and Piper make a great team. She's a beautiful and curvy nurse and he's the gorgeous VP of the Iron Soldiers MC. Sizzling action!

Swish by Marian Tee 3.5 Star Review
I was a little confused by this story of Helios and MJ. Since I have not read the previous books in the Heart Racer Biker Romance series, I assume they must be read in order for the reader to understand the who, what, where, when, and why of it all. I understand MJ's life but Helios and the MC is very confusing. I fully intend to go back and start with book 1.

Stone Cold by Olivia Rigal 3.5 Star Review
Law students, cops, undercover cops, and the Iron Tornadoes MC. This is a rough MC! This book leaves plenty of unanswered questions. Maybe they are answered in the next book.

Fearless Curves by D.H. Cameron 3.5 Star Review
The biker and the curvy girl is quite the story. They're rude, crude, and nasty and they love every minute of it. Despite everything that happens in this story, I understand the lesson it teaches about not judging others. Besides, Jack Anker is pretty HOT!

Worthy of the Billionaire Biker by Krista Lakes 3.5 star Review
Claire and Gregory had a past together. They spent one summer together before she had to go back to school. Now, she works for him in and out of the boardroom. They have a dom/sub type of relationship. It takes some near death experiences for him to finally realize how he feels about her.

Bear Biker Love by Harper Ashe 4.5-Star Review
Guardians, curvy girls, hunters, and biker bears, OH MY! I loved it! Great story line. This story has the potential to become a great series. I can't wait to read more.

City Girl, Country Wolf by Aubrey Rose 4-Star Review
A sweet shifter romance. Ruby is the city girl and Josh is the country boy/wolf. I guess the lesson learned is not to judge someone by what's on the outside. Looks can be deceiving.

[Emily · Rating 1 out of 5]

This was, frankly, abysmal.

I have read some bad romance novels. And to be fair, not all of the books in this set were bad. The first one was actually rather decent. I think that's probably because that's the one that would get the preview on Amazon that would induce people to buy the set.

The rest were so poorly written, they were almost unreadable. A few, in fact, were unreadable. Most of them cut off halfway through the story in a blatant ploy to get readers to buy the next 'book' in the series. If the first book had been any good, that might have been incentive. It really isn't, though. It also really violates most of what we come to expect of romance novels--we want a full story where the hero and heroine live happily ever after. A second book should feature a different couple.

All in all, bad writing, bad plots, bad editing, bad grammar, and bad storytelling all around. This may be only ninety-nine cents, but I wouldn't download it if it was free. The time you'd spend reading this could be put toward more productive things, like spending hours of time on Tumblr.

This read was like the best box of mixed chocolate ever. There was sweet and spicy and super hot all over. If you're looking for a few short new reads that will make your blood hum and your breath catch, then this is for you. I'm happy to have found great new authors and exciting new series to boot.
Bravo...alphas have never been this hot!

This was neither the best or worst compilation of stories I've read. Some were very good and I've already purchased more from the author. Others are not so good. All in all for what I paid for the collection, I can't complain too much.
