This ends at 63%, if I paid for it, I'd be a little peeved. But I didn't, so score.
Also score for Ashley and her alpha wolf, Latin lover(??) Ben Stone. (Because Ben Stone is such a popular Latin name...sure) He threw a couple of "mi amor" or "mi reina" to jazz it up and sell his ethnicity. LOL (suggestion: no Latin lover part, it's unnecessary)
Ashley is her lover's personal assistant and she is a naughty girl. So naughty she has to get her buns and pussy treated to a spanking punishment. She can be a little bratty but her Sir puts her in her place...with vibes (vaginal & anal), figging (yay!), his hands and a loopy johnny.
They play around the office, in the car, at home...it's nice and erotic. Better than I expected. :)
This is the first book I've read by Renee and it won't be the last.
The story flowed well and I almost forgot the hero was a shifter, until well he shifted. He was a sexy alpha wolf/man.
I know it states in the synopsis this story contains domestic discipline and anal play, and true to its word, yes indeed this story had a heavy focus on both. So, if that's your thing you will love this short story.
Renee Rose delivers a deliciously good domestic discipline story! It's supposed to be a sequel to The Alpha's Hunger but I found can be read alone. This is a paranormal story but is more about their relationship and his discipline of Ashley. Lots of hot office scenes.
This was a great addition to Ashley and Ben's story from The Alpha's Hunger. I enjoyed the look into their relationship after their HEA and I particularly loved the spanking scenes!
This picks up right where the last book left off with Ben and Ashley still together and going strong… except for one little problem. Ben thinks they’re trying for a baby, but Ashley hasn’t exactly been honest, she’s still on birth control.
It’s not that she doesn’t love him, but she’s not sure she’s ready for motherhood yet, and instead of just telling him that, she lets the secret sit there like a ticking time bomb. Honestly, her biggest mistake was not speaking up the moment the baby talk started. She convinced herself Ben wouldn’t want her anymore if she wasn’t on board right now , but of course, when the truth finally comes out, he’s not furious. More disappointed she didn’t trust him, and a little mad at himself for not noticing sooner. It’s actually kind of sweet in that way.
The rest is very very much like the previous book, plenty of dominance, spanking, and heat. So if you’re here for a good dose of alpha growliness with a softer emotional payoff, you’ll still get it.
Plot: (This is a continuation of the previous story, same couple) Ben and Ashley have been together for a number of months, and things are going well, except for Ashley's one little deception. Ben thinks they're working on having a baby, but she hasn't told him that she's still on birth control. She isn't sure she's ready to have a baby and she's scared to talk to him about it.
Commentary: So Ashley thinks that Ben won't want her anymore if she's not willing to give him a baby right now. Mostly, the problem is that she didn't speak up the first time Ben started talking about babies. And he wasn't mad when they finally had the talk. He was disappointed, I think, that she didn't trust him and he was mad at himself for not realizing what was going on with her. So in that sense, the story was sweet. The other 2/3 of the story was typical Renee Rose with lots of spanking, etc.
Smoking hot companion read to Ms.Renee's new release, The Alpha's Hunger. Read in about an hour or so. Have ice water ready either to drink or throw on yourself to cool off. Love these characters!
This was a really HOT short story about Ashley and Ben. These two are trying to work through Ashley not telling Ben the truth and what each are thinking.
But I read this one not knowing until I opened it that it was one.
I read it because it was Renee Rose's story.
I finished it because it is good.
It is the alpha male that does it for me and that touch of softness. there is nothing like it.
This is part two I will go back and read part one. Not because I now enjoy shifters. I love Renee. And she wrote the story. So, if you want solid spanking,strong Dom, strong, submissive woman, hot emotion, read the story. But start at with the beginning, I am sure it is better that way. Find out what happens when a submissive lies for months to her wolf Dom.
Ben, a wolf-shifter, wants to settle down and have “pups.” Ashley, his fiancée, isn’t ready yet. She’s secretly still on the pill, but he thinks they’re “trying.” Not a good scenario when you’re in a D/s relationship with a wolf who spanks. This a great little read filled with deliciously hot sex and spankings. If spanking romance/domestic discipline is your genre of choice, you won’t want to miss this one. Grab it.
She knows she shouldn't have lied to him, but she doesn't dare to confess now. But of course he finds out she has been tricking him and of course he gets mad about it. But to win back the trust between them he is all alpha and treats her on a very hot punishment more than once. Hot read!
Now I want to read the first part of this series. I guess you can read this book as a stand alone, because I did and I liked it a lot. But maybe it will be even better if you read the first book first.
I'M NOT AFRAID OF THE BIG, BAD WOLF This is a continuation from The Alpha's Hunger. Ben Stone and Ashley Bell are engaged, living together, and talking about their future and children. But when lies and deceit come to the surface, their relationship suffers. Her alpha wolf takes her so deftly in hand. The multiple punishments are harsh and not soon to be forgotten. This story is short and steamy, with multiple spankings, various forms of punishment and panty-melting sex.
I loved this! Awesome short read, and oh so hot!!! This is the first shifter romance I've read and I really wasn't sure I'd like it, considering I wasn't even sure what a shifter was. But I wasn't disappointed - it was great! Lots of hot sex, lots of hot spankings, and I read it right through to the end without stopping, I just couldn't put it down.
This author never ceases to amaze me. Nothing could have torn me away from reading the entire story; I guarantee I wouldnt have even noticed if my house caught fire. Everything you need for an emotionaly charged, spanking hot read.
It was a good followup to the previous book. Although you can understand it without the first, it had some things that seemed confusing unless you read the first.
An excellent short story that complements book one well. The scenes were hot and sexy. I would recommend reading the Alpha's Hunger along with this one! I received an advanced reader copy from Stormy Night Publications.
This novella was delicious. It depicts Ashley's deception toward Ben regarding her desire to start a family immediately. It's short and sweet, but depending on your interpretation, the scenes can be quite steamy.

Ashley and Ben are enjoying mated life as a bonded pair, but Ben doesn't know he is being deceived. Ashley didn't set out to hurt him or betray him in the cruelest way possible, but she did. This time Ben may not be able to forgive her or trust her ever again.
Can she convince her big bad wolf she's sorry and take her punishment or will this be the one thing they can never overcome? Bonded for life doesn't always mean in love forever.
My rating of "The Alpha's Punishment - A billionaire Shifter Short Story - Alpha Doms Book 2" is 4.5 out of 5 stars.
So I'm a weirdo and started reading this book before the first one in the series... which of course introduces Ashley and Ben and tells their story. But the book was free at the time, and I started reading it before I realized it wasn't the beginning of the series *shrugs shoulders*.
I still found this novella/short (it's 65 pages) to be pretty darn awesome. Renee Rose usually writes some seriously hot Alpha males and this was no exception.
Obviously the sex scenes were great, but I also found the relationship and the struggles they were going through at the time to be relatable and well explained. All-in-all there's A LOT of sex scenes in this, not that I minded, just a heads up. http://nightowlreads.weebly.com/adult...
In The Alpha's Punishment Ashley reveals she has be lying for five months about wanting to have Ben Stone's cubs (or babies) and secretly taking birth control pills. Being mated to a wolf shifter is new to her and she is afraid to displease Ben Stone, her mate so kept her secret and did just what she was afraid she would do and displeased him.
I loved Ben's point of view and reaction to Ashley's deception, but she had to learn her lesson so at her request she endured The Alpha's Punishment that he devised for her. This cleared the air and they both learned to communicate with each other as Ashley learns her place as his submissive and Personal Assistant at work.
The Alpha's Punishment is full of hot domination, hot sex and two sexy characters learning to relate and communicate, which all couples learn as they live together.
Ashley has been with her fiancé, Ben Stone for five months and they are happily in love. Ben is a rich, latino CEO who also happens to be a wolf shifter. He never thought he'd settle down or never really wanted to until he met his mate in Ashley. After having intense sex and still in a haze Ben tells her he wants her to have his pups and Ashley readily agrees. Afterwards she realizes she's not really ready for kids but is afraid to tell Ben so instead she continues to take birth control. For five months she deceives him and feels sick with guilt but the lie has spiraled out of control. When Ben walks into the bathroom he sees her holding her pills and is immediately hurt and angry so he leaves the house.
From the beginning and ended as a stand alone 3 chapters wow and then the rest previews. You have what it takes to be a dang good writer but it a million even better who don't play games with their readers I would have brought book two no problem because this book was good until it just started with all these different previews I would love to read M story but I could take another 3 chapters book. I do wish you continue success. DH from New York City
The author's statement of a high ratio of sex had me very intrigued for this tease to her longer work involving the characters titled "The Alpha's Hunger." I thoroughly enjoyed the hot sex and the punishment scenes; they made the bits of romance and characters' internal dialogues that much better. Ash's worries beautifully carried the story; I appreciated the depth of Ben's concerns to avoid being like his father. I look forward to enjoying more with these two. What a lovely romance!
I was given this book for free in exchange for my honest review. I must say I usually don't read shapeshifter books. But I did truly enjoy it. It s a true D/s book. That is the main focus. Ashley lied to Ben and now she must face the punishment. It was not a little lie either. She continued to take her birth control pills for 5 months while Ben was trying to have a baby. All she had to do was be honest. This is one hot read!
