Australian traditional published and self-published author, welcoming you into my world of fantasy. As an author, I aim not only to write strong, empowering female characters but also to showcase diversity and inclusivity, giving representation and voices to those who are often neglected in the book world. I love to bounce between genres, but nothing gives me greater joy than to create unique worlds with rich mythologies you can't read in any other book.

I have completed 20 books as of August 2025, with more stories on the horizon!

If you’re in the mood for an erotic, thrilling, and often mysterious love story that will have you on the edge of your seat, paranormal erotic romance books are exactly what you need! These tales mix fantasy, horror, and romance to create a storyline unlike anything else. From vampires to werewolves to deities, these stories are guaranteed to keep you reading. I recently came across a book that can be classified as one of the best from the genre. The book goes by the title “A Queen Among Alphas: Queen Among Series Book 1”
Though perhaps not to everyone, readers do take note to the book's look, which influences their reading mood. “A Queen Among Alphas: Queen Among Series Book 1” it is a title which attracts attention to it and perfectly serves the purpose of the title. The cover compliments the title whereas it is the description that did the magic for me. It was because of the description I wanted to read the book.
Talking about the content of the book, the book has been written in about. Readers can expect to find within the pages of this book a flawless rendering of the internal. The reader shall discover within this novel two of the most well thought out and in depth characters. Ah what can I say. I sort of want to keep this short and sweet, but I can't guarantee that will be the case. It's been a long time since I read anything remotely adult, and the first time since I read something classed as 'Erotica'. Now having been written in about 500 pages the book is an excellent piece of hard work. The emotions and details are the two main factors readers read this genre. For me the details matter, for me it has to be the elaborated scenes described through words which make me feel like I am the lead. The book had that quality of making the reader part of the storyline where while reader you would feel that you are the one going through it. Amelia Dolivo, the first female Alpha in history, has known her entire life that she will someday lead her pack as the Alpha. A real Alpha never concedes defeat and never backs down from a fight, despite the long and difficult route to get there. Amelia deals with anyone who tries to undermine her head-on, whether they are her adversaries who are working behind the scenes to do so or her own soulmate. She demonstrates to them all the importance of never underestimating women. Although I have always been incapable of choosing a "favorite book," from the genre, I know now that if I had to be stuck on a desert island, with only one book to bring with me, it would most likely be this one. So what are you waiting for go grab your copy fast.

A Queen Among Alphas: Queen Among Series Book 1

I totally match up to the hype any fantasy book would get and when it comes with a blend of genres like action and adventure, suspense erotica and thriller fiction which creates a world and a plot beyond anybody's imagination and only the author has the wand which gives them the power to create a shape and structured to a story and provide a wholesome and uplifting experience to the readers.

The debut book of the author Ashleigh Dana Burnell-
A Queen Among Alphas: Queen Among Series Book 1 unfolds with a courageous and brave protagonist Amelia Dolivo , who wants to the first female Alpha in her pack and in the history aswell. But to achieve her desires she has to rock solid and be never afraid of any enimies or obstacles or even when your own partner underestimates you. Will she be able to prove her power, courage and capabilities and never accept defeat?

The storyline was set in the most profligate world and how it transfotmed in the second half which was quite rooting and the extravagant storytelling by the author justified the timeline aswell. Amelia's character was my favourite one and his characteristics shown were quite ornate and valorous and also so fearless and Lionhearted.
The book has been penned down in a length of around 580 pages or so and was worth every minute of its readers time as the lavish story setting and narration took it into a whole new level.

•Getting to the top of something takes time and also dedication that can't get fulfilled at any other place. Even though life always puzzles everyone around but some people make a different place for themselves. Let's read a story that gives us this scenario from a very different perspective, introducing A QUEEN AMONG ALPHAS (book1) by MISS ASHLEIGH DANA BURNELL. The cover page is unique and interesting.

•The story is about Amelia Dolivo, a woman who was known all the very before that she is going to lead the camp. Her life was full of circumstances where every person tried to pull her back so that she can never go to the point for which she was made. But as the title suggested that was the key point for her, she was a true alpha from her behavior and action. She could never back from what she desired. Stepping on conspiracies set up by enemies and also ignoring her husband's criticism she made the way for her rise.

How will she defeat the people against her? what will be the outcome? Will she be alone in this fight? Read and get the answer!

•The plot is new as there is the background of Wolf and human lives. the character development and the unfolding of events will make the readers curious for more. The protagonist character sketch will question mark the gender roles from centuries for women. The storyline has some very hot scene depictions which justify the plot. Give it a try you will crave for the next part

Book: A Queen Among Alphas: Queen Among Series Book 1

Author: Ashleigh Dana Burnell

Review: Amelia Dolivo is the Alpha of her pack. Not only that she is the first female alpha of her pack, who has overcome a great many ordeals to prove her authority and make her mark. A true Alpha must never accept defeat and must never back down from a challenge. Amelia infact is the embodiment of these qualities along with being smart, kind and generous. She is not only empowered but also empowering.

To a woman of power, there is no shortage of challenges and difficulties. Same is the case with Amelia who's power is challenged by her growing number enemies. When has patriarchy, ever been able to bear a woman in power? There's also the question of Amelia being able to find her soulmate, while protecting her pack from the savage eyes of other Alphas? Will she be able to break their overconfidence and misconceptions about her?

A wonderful story that I highly recommend to all my fellow readers. This book is highly feminist in its spirit and paints the picture of women just as they are. Strong, powerful and fierce creatures,who are wild in spirit and cannot be tamed or beheld. The storytelling is super engaging and awe inspiring and I am totally in love with the plot line. I can't wait to read the next part and enjoy this true wild and free spirited tale of a strong woman.

This book is a fantastic rollercoaster ride filled with lovable characters that you just wish you could meet in real life. The story breaks all the stereotipical gender roles created by society that are ingrained in most shifter stories. Also, the author has given her own twists to shifter mythology which makes things even more interesting.

I enjoyed this book and it looks like there’s room for a sequel. Marcus was very hard to like for most of the book but he did redeem himself at the end. Amelia went through a lot but knew what she deserved and refused to settle which I thought was a very good lesson for anyone reading. Overall I like this book and I’ll read the sequel is there is one.

It's been a long time since I've been so enraptured by a book. The world-building is amazing with so many characters to fall in love with, and a few who make you want to rip your hair out which I'm sure is what the author intended lol. It's empowering, and uplifting. It made me laugh, cry and throw my phone a few times lol in a good way though! It's not your typical werewolf book, it really takes every stereotype and throws it out the window and is incredibly unique. I'm already invested in the series and can't wait to own the whole series.

A story about the first female Alpha and the obstacles she had to go through.
I really love this story because it introduces us to the stereotypes society classified us and Amelia fights against it and shows everyone what a woman is really capable of.

Another great difference from all the other shifter books is the history and names of supernatural beings. It's a fresh originality and makes the book more inviting because the details are changed.

I can bravely recommend this book to everyone who loves shifter romances with a twist and fresh ingredients.

I love this book! Amelia is such a great FMC and Marcus shows so much growth. And he's yummy! Plus, I love the world building and the fact that the author built an entire mythos and pantheon! I've read the rest of the series on the Dreame app and I love it! 💖
