You’re a hot, sexy, gorgeous woman who amongst hundreds of others are vying for the attention of Max Prize in Seattle. And why not? He’s an unbelievably, hot, Alpha millionaire who’s able to fulfill your heart’s every desire from gifts to being sexually fulfilled to the nth degree, that’s provide you don’t mind that he’s also a dragon shapeshifter.
The thing is, you don’t mind any of the competition who might be confronted with, that is until he’s got a certain new female who has entered his life unexpectedly one night; a female who is so fragile and innocently pure that he hasn’t a single clue to how to handle her every single need.
What kind women would an Alpha male need some help in handling? How about a baby girl who’s been left at his doorstep. Coming to Max’s aid is the head of his security, a wolf shifter. He suggests his sister Vivienne, a half wolf shifter, might be able to handle the situation as the baby’s nanny.
I had no problem stepping into Vivienne’s shoes, and why not since I’d be within arm’s reach of Alpha hunk. I, like Vivienne or any woman, seeing such a beautiful infant, would immediately fall in love with it. But, as far as Max was concerned, her first impression had been a big letdown since she saw him as being nothing less than a narcissistic prick; that’s until she got to see his other persona, a persona she slowly began to fall in love with as she learned how to get around his numerous mood swings.
It is said that every cloud as a silver lining. Will this calamity in his life turn out to something he’s longed for? Will Max the fortitude to protect this child who he learns is actually his? How will Vivienne fare with what’s happening between her and Max?
Could there be a HEA for these two, a HEA that would terminate Max’s glory days as a devout playboy?
I’m not saying another word about the story with all of its twists and turns that keeps her readers wanting to how everything culminates on the final page.
So, for having given me and the rest of her readers a well-written, emotionally laden, somewhat erotic shapeshifter romance novel, I’ve given Ms. LaPorta 5 STARS for her endeavor here.

Excellent!!!
This story was over the top, on the edge of my seat FANTASTIC! Can I give it a 10?????
Maximus Prize has come a long way baby from his wild days, he is a billionaire extraordinaire. Now that the day is over all he can think of now is having a threesome with those blonde babes that have been eyeing him with that come hither look for weeks now. But the arrival of a special delivery has him racing back to his hi rise. Can't a dragon catch a break, a daughter really? He is positive that is a fluke, he would never make such a mistake, but when he holds her in his arms there is no mistaking the truth, not even Jack's (his head of security) sister Vivienne, the baby's new nanny, can keep her from his arms. But will the fates be so cruel as to take not one but both his new found daughter and the only woman to ever calm his angry dragon like no one, from his life in a matter of hours?
This story will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat to the end, I could not put my kindle down when I started reading it.
Kudos Ms. La Porta!

Dragon shifter Max Prize is a millionaire who is charming with women falling at his feet. So when a baby is left for him at the door of the building he lives in, his well ordered playboy lifestyle is shattered - especially when he meets the woman hastily arranged to be a nanny to the child. The question is - will this continue to be complete disaster for him, or is it the start of the best thing that has ever happened to him?
What a dramatic story from start to finish. I loved the way the story developed over time and the touches of depth in the story. Just when you thought it couldn't get more dramatic something else happened and it all got complicated again. I loved the HEA at the end of this book and the way it was wrapped up into something very special. Well written and very easy to understand and empathise with the characters.

We have a book here that just pulls your heart strings as your reading. Start out not liking the leading man, only to fall in love with him as the story unwinds. I just could NOT put this down. From the tiny tot who grabs the heart of her nanny to the crowd who wraps around this tiny baby .
The author was able to portray the pain, fear .. the hopelessness of having a sick child as you wait in the waiting room. All the while the world moves on without you but yet around you.
I think this book is one of her bests to date! It is a heart warming tear jerking read that will make you laugh out loud.. cry and cheer them on as you read. Kudos!! To this author for such a twisting story to get so much emotion from a single book!

A must read.
This book was so good. I loved the characters and the story. Max is a billionaire playboy and dragon shifter who isn't looking to settle down. When a baby girl gets dumped on his penthouse doorstep he is so out of his league. Vivienne is a half breed wolf shifter who is doing a favor for her big brother. When he calls her at three in the morning with a baby problem. That baby comes with a sexy, arrogant, and butt hole of a dragon shifter. When secrets come out will they end this couple? When death is at the door can they keep each other sane and safe? Can they over come there pasts to have a future?

Not a bad story
I absolutely love all of the books in the Immortals series but this one was no where near the quality of the previous ones it felt rushed and thrown together , was like a different author had written it and not the excellent descriptive, emotional author that Monica La Porta is . Please don't turn into one of these authors who is throwing the same junk out that every other romance writer is at the moment you have so much more talent than that . Please keep true to you .

one of the best paranormal books I’ve read
This book was well written. I was surprised because most of the books I’ve read in the past were really bad. The story lines any the characters made those books impossible to read . This book had a true story line the characters were great. I have found that most paranormal books are not worth reading. This book was great. If enjoy paranormal reads then read The Alpha’s Gift by Monica La Porta.

This author is one of my favorites...it seems no matter what she writes it's a hit! I loved Max..what a great Dragon...the protection he show's those he loves is all Dragon. The storyline was great..Vivienne was such a strong woman and the love she showed Amber Rose made her stronger. Great characters all of them!

From bad to Dad!
Max really had to grow up quick in this one and you really feel for Vivienne as she navigates his mood swings. You are drawn into the story right from the start and kept involved right until the last page. The author keeps the plot twisting and turning and you chuckling and fretting. This is another hit in the Bad Alpha Dad series.

Love Makes it Better
This was a great book. He didn't even know what he needed until it was right in his face. When both of his girls got sick and his money was powerless that was to good. Great storyline and I want more from this family. One small thing, more history on the villain would have been great.

Enjoyed reading the story.
I have just started reading the series and surprisingly enjoyed the story line. The book read quickly and flowed well. Just a little put off with the grammar and spelling errors. This was my second book in this series and I am looking forward to the next book. Thank you!

Just sweet.
Just okay. Vivienne and Max's story was sweet but expected. A Con- he's obsessed with his new daughter but takes his mate home to make love after her recovery, while his daughter is still in the hospital? Didn't feel right. And he never found out who had betrayed him from the inside. Didn't make me want to read more. Sorry.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There are a few grammatical errors and spelling mishaps but they do not take away from the flow of the narrative. I immediately became invested in the characters and the imagery of story. I read this book in less than 48 hours.

Great read with plenty of action and of course love conquers all. Max is a playboy until a very small girl grabs his heart and doesn't let go, not to mention the nanny (Vivienne), who takes non of Max's usual crap.
Yet another enjoyable episode with The Immortals.

Touching
I liked that the main characters didn't know each other at first. I would recommend this book to my friends that read books. The book deserved a five star rating.

Breathtaking
Love it... Love it... There is so much I can praise about this story. It made me laugh, cry, and bite my fingernails while i sat on the edge of my seat not knowing what was going to happen.
The emotions I was feeling were like riding a rollercoaster. Up and down and you didn't know what was going to happen. I found myself holding my breath a few times and I had to remind myself to breathe. I just loved the book. Top 10 list for sure and I am you will love it too.
Until Next Time.... Tabi

I absolutely loved this book. The last few chapters my heart was in my throat and I was constantly on the verge of tears (both happy and sad).
I admit the only thing that would have made it even better in my mind would have been if being mated helped heal her womb and allow her to have babies with Max. But we can’t always get everything we want :)
