Pride of Alphas #2
Chasing Sparx
Sparx Brady is sick of playing the same role. She’s been on the same soap opera since she was fourteen. She needs change and adventure. When the role of a lifetime comes around, she’s determined to be cast. She quits her job and heads to the mountains for a week-long survivalist course. She’s a stubborn Brady woman; she’s got this.
Tiger shifter Dash Jones doesn’t talk. He can, but he prefers quiet contemplation on his mountain. The only time he interacts is when he’s teaching a survivalist course. It’s a fun, easy enough gig. But when a shiny actress in heels drives up to his mountain, he tries to chase the chatty woman away. He doesn’t want a mate. Especially not her.
But Sparx is determined and strong. Her energy knows no bounds, and soon, the grumpy tiger is smitten by the actress. If only he can find a way to keep her from completing the grueling final test… and from the dangerous bears on the other side of the mountain. Falling in love definitely isn’t the only kind of fall in this mountain adventure.

This is a silly, fun, middle installment of a trilogy. It made me chill into the story. Without being insulting it was nothing special but it was entertaining. And that’s not a bad thing.

Claps hands as this is one of my favorite shifters. Yeah I know I said dragon, and lions before that. *grins* Just go with it. Soo Milly puts a city girlish, in the path of a countryish boy. Determination and stubbornness hold no bounds.
A big chance to move her career and she's headed for the mountains to help obtain her goal. Ohh and our resident grump he doesn't like being all social, he could really do without people. But a tiger got to eat right? hence the survival training gig.
They both all were good in their world just like it was until they met, not their world is spinning tilted axis. Will they be able to have a smooth ride or will circumstance and some pissy bears take it all away?
The book was good, I loved Milly's stories, this one though a tad bit drier than I'm used to from her. It seemed like sometimes they were stretching to make the story fit. All in all yeah, get it ready and enjoy

I really enjoyed this Dash and Sprax's story. I especially loved Sprax she is the epitome of what a heroine is suppose to be strong, fierce, feisty, and she knows exactly what she wants and wasn't afraid to take risks to get it. I had a loved hate relationship with Dash he ran so hot and cold in his interactions with Sprax that I did find it a bit annoying. Overall it was a good read although I felt liked this was a tad bit drier than what I'm used to from MS Taiden. I received a free copy via Booksprout and as always my reviews are totally voluntarily and no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are my own.

This seems to be a story of growth and evolution for Sparx.
She's been an actress for most of her life.
Her entire life has been dictated and directed.
When Sparx wants to make her own decisions she faces pushback.
She signs up for a survivalist course to prepare for a new challenging role.
Unfortunately her instructor is less than enthusiastic regarding Sparx's ability to complete the course.
Will people ever stop underestimating Sparx?

When Dash’s stubbornness and Sparx’s determination collided, and explosion happens, and the mountain is on fire. The denied sexual tension between the two keep the flames high and hot. But when the two figure out how to be vulnerable with each other, they ignite the sheets, and the real fire burns, and the true test of their wills begins.

What's a star have to do, to get a part, why take a survival course. Sparx is determined to portray the role of a woman who survived in the wilderness, she signs up for Dash's survival course. Dash knows Sparx is his mate, believes in her, but needs to protect her. Will she pass, or not.

Awesome! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I love to read books from Milly Taiden. Chasing Sparx is the second book in the Pride of Alphas series.This Dash and Sprax's story. They will snatch you up from that first paragraph. Dash a tiger runs the survival course. Sparx is an actress, finally she sees her dream role but first she needs to do a survival course. Chasing Sparx has it all from humor, action, steam, and so much more. You will for in love the characters, just like me. I couldn't put down Sparx and Dash's story!! I can't wait to read the next book!! Keep up the amazing work. Can't wait to read more from this series.

Milly did another amazing job with the second book the the pride of alphas series. Sparx's is an extremely strong heroine who knows exactly what she wants and isn't afraid to take risks to get it. She needs to do this survivalist bootcamp in order to land the role she has always wanted.
Dash is a loner and he prefers it that way. He's been hurt and has major trust issues. When Sparx's shows up, he immediately knows she's his mate but he will never tell her because he knows she will leave too. However, this causes an issue because his tiger doesn't want to let her do the test at the end.
There is so much chemistry between the two the sparks fly off the page. I love their dynamic and I highly recommend that you read their story.

Entertaining read with likeable characters.
Loved Dash’s tiger side and his comments. So funny cute.
Good the way this plays out and I liked how things worked out.
Sparx is a strong character and obviously believes in herself, quitting her job to go after a role she believes is hers.
A few times some lines read as if they were the authors thought notes rather than statements for the story and a few errors made it through proofreading.

Dash and Sparx were FIRE!!!! This story was so good in so many ways. I loved that he really tried to deny and ignore their connection but she would not have it. I LOVE LOVE LOVED his tiger talking to him. I love that Sparx was drawn to the story of the survivor and was going to make it through the course. I loved Kris.

Dash & Sparx
She gave up her starring role in a Soap Oprah to become a serious actor. To get the part she has to prove her ability as a survivalist. He is the one hired to train her. Neither are in or interested in being in a relationship. Meeting they fight their feelings for each other. He's working hard at being a grouchy bear. (funny since he's really a tiger shifter) She's trying to prove herself worthy of the part and snarks back at him.
His tiger keeps reminding him what she really means to them. His mate and he has trouble keeping to his decision to stay alone and he sure isn't leaving her alone in the forest for two days for some stupid part. There's danger on the mountain and he's not letting her his mate be alone to face it--or will he have the option?
Two hot, reluctant people (well part human) with a strong reason to stop the other one from what they want--except the other. Will they be able to resist? Will his enemies win out and endanger either or both of them?
A good story with two strong loves.

Great 2nd book in series
This second installment of Pride of Alpha series lives up to the expectations from book 1. Loved Sparx such a strong , determined and forceful personality. Couldn't get enough of Dash...checked every box for a great male hero hot, strong, sensitive, caring. Loved these two together. Add some dangerous situations and you have a great read. Love the Brady sisters. Recommend read.

Sparx is not the everyday soap opera star and I catch on to that from the beginning. She is also not the type I would see on some mountain retreat. Dash is quiet but only when he needs to be quiet. I think Sparx makes him the hot sexy Tiger. But when they finally find their way through all the great action and find their way to another emotion; I'm pulled in, I read this book 2 times and I'm going to read it again when I finish my review. It's good to read a book and want to read it again.

I love a good book that makes me laugh. And this one did not disappoint. Why do men always make their life so hard when all they need to do is realize the woman is right and the right one. Just go for it. Love and laughter.

Milly Taiden has done it again. This was a great addition to the series and the characters were well written, endearing and entertaining. The story line was engaging and kept me reading from start to finish.

Sparx wanted to be taken seriously as an actor. When the producers wouldn't give her time off to pursue her dream movie role, she quit. Now she has to prove herself capable by surviving in the wilderness. She wasn't prepared for her teacher-Dash and the tiger shifter wasn't prepared to come face to face with his......Oh no! Not his mate! Doesn't want one, won't listen to his tiger. But Sparx is a spitfire and she just might be the one to change his mind! Another fabulous book in the Pride of the Alphas series by Milly Taiden

Love the Mountain Setting
Another Brady sister meets her Fated Mate. Only this one is a grumpy mountain man-tiger who loves the outdoors. Sparx and Dash get off to rough start as Dash does not really want a mate. He soon learns that Sparx is not a pampered actress but a strong and determined woman. Look out mountain man for soon the "Sparx" will fly. Great job and much thanks Milly. Look forward to the conclusion of the Pride of Alphas trilogy.

Book 2 in Pride of Alphas by Milly Taiden.
Sparx Brady is a actress that wants to get out of her long term job and life.
Sparx goes on a survivalist course. Where a sexy silent alpha helps them to survive in wildness.
I love that Sparx is a bubbly outgoing character that enjoys everything but Dash is the strong silent type that very rarely speaks.
Dash struggles with meeting his mate but not sure wants to even mate but Sparx is not a person to be ignored.
Can not get any better then Milly Taiden in supernatural romance. A instant pre-order for me.

The actress and the mountain man. I loved Sparx. She is strong, determined and not going to let anybody tell her what she can’t do. Not even the hunky tiger shifter who is supposed to teach her how to survive in the wilderness. Dash is a grumpy loner who likes the quiet on his mountain. He doesn’t need a mate who will leave him for the bright lights of the big city. This is an engaging tale of love and determination. Though this is part of a trilogy it can be read standalone with no loss.

This was an interesting take on a mating. An actress takes a week long survivalist course as a way to get a movie part. As fate would have it her “instructor” turns out to be her mate. He loves his solitude on his mountain and the last thing he wants is a mate. Throw in some meth cooking bears and you have an interesting story.

Chasing Sparx was exciting and entertaining. Sparx and actress needs to pass a survival coarse to get a part in a movie. Dash a tiger runs the survival course. He knows as soon as Sparx gets out of her car she’s his mate. Sparks fly from the beginning. Great book

I love this series, but let's be honest. I love all Ms Milly's books and series. Sparx is preparing for the role of her life. Dash is a grumpy loner who happens to be a tiger shifter, who's never heard of Sparx. So you can imagine the first meeting. Ms Milly takes us through all the ups downs and dangers as they navigate work and some pretty hot playing. So you best one click and enjoy. I volunteered to read and review an advance reader copy.

Grumpy tiger and soap opera star, what could go wrong?
When Sparx needs to learn survival skills for her dream role, she books week of survivalist course.
Dash is not looking for a mate.
Life is full of surprises and Dash is getting one.
I enjoyed this story very much. Storyline is great and characters wonderful.

The Fur Flies!
Love the characters. Love the storyline. Actress Sparx Brady is as sassy as it gets and Dash Jones is the tall, handsome, silent type that definitely knows his way around a woman's body. Add some nasty meth dealing grizzly shifters; and watch the fur fly. Give this series a try. Enjoy!

2.5 stars
I was really hoping I'd like this story more as I did enjoy the first book and big cat shifters are some of my favorites, but this one was a bit more of a miss for me. Dash ran so hot and cold in his interactions with Sparx that I found it annoying. I got that he didn't really want a mate at the beginning, that he had convinced himself he was fine on his own, but I was getting whiplash from his reactions. I almost felt like his background just didn't get quite enough to really make it work for me. I really did like Sparx at the beginning of the story, taking that leap of quitting her job to possibly help her career. I also liked that she had a plan for long-term in the film industry. I found her mix of prepared and unprepared to be so odd. Also, I thought it odd that Dash didn't have a list of things for his clients to bring (like recommended clothing). The high heels for the drive up the mountain to me was ridiculous (if she had the shoes, why not change them before the drive up). There were just too many points that didn't quite work for me with this story.
