THE BIG ALPHA IN TOWN is an enjoyable collection of
different kind of shapeshifters with stories by Eve
Langlais, Milly Taiden, and Kate Baxter. Readers who want
stories about some of the supporting characters in this
anthology should also check out THANKS FUR LAST NIGHT --
also by the same authors. Each story strikes a different
tone -- from slightly screwball comedy to ominous and
spooky -- but all sexy.
"Bearing His Love" by Eve Langlais takes a turn I never
would have expected. The opening of this story, with
mysterious letters and a hint of blackmail, had me
gearing up for a romance with a tangled and dark twist.
However, Eve Langlais delivers a story with just as many
laughs as there are thrills. The male characters in
"Bearing His Love" are the only shifters, and their
oversized personalities match their larger-than-life
animal alter egos. Greek bear shifter Ark Matis is
gobsmacked when, instead of some scheming woman with
designs on his fortune, he finds prickly Jade Cadeux and
wants to devour her. The quick-witted banter between Jade
and Ark make this story so entertaining. The secondary
characters make this story shine without distracting from
the main couple. As this is a new-to-me author, I look
forward to reading more shifter love stories by Eve
Langlais in the future.
In "Owned by the Lion", Milly Taiden gives paranormal
romance a conventional tale of girl meets lion. Ally and
Keir know the same people and have been on the periphery
until they finally get up close and personal in this
story. Keir does a hard sell in a totally subtle and
seductive way that eventually wins him the woman of his
dreams. It's a classic story of an earnest, hard-working
woman charmed by the suave playboy/boy-next-door hero. I
like how captivated Keir is by Ally and how he works hard
to woo her. Friends and family offer support in this
story and play cupid. As with the story by Eve Langlais,
the hero in this story is a shifter but the heroine is
human.
Out of all the stories in this anthology, I was most
looking forward to "No Need Fur Love" by Kate Baxter,
because I'm a huge fan of her "Last True Vampire" series.
This is a lust-to-love story with a spooky edge and fairy
tale vibe. When a wood nymph and a werewolf lock lips and
discover they are fated mates, complicated doesn't begin
to cover it. Mia thought having Owen knock her up would
solve a few of her problems, but it just added new ones.
Papa wood nymph makes a perfect and completely sinister
villain and potential father-in-law for Owen. Betrayal
and loyalty are crucial to this battle of good versus
evil, and a happy ending winning out. The chemistry
between this couple rocks, and the haunted woodland
atmosphere will give you chills.
THE BIG ALPHA IN TOWN is a fun, furry, and fabulous
collection of alpha heroes of all stripes and heroines
who can go toe-to-toe with their hulking heroes. These
stories will give you a sample of paranormal yummy --
beastly brawls, fated love, and a story you can sink your
teeth into. I look forward to reading more shifter
romances by these authors.
Three hot stories about three sexy shifters from a trio of
today's hottest paranormal romance authors, headlined by

BEARING HIS LOVE

down—difficult advice for a hard and hot man with a lion’s
heart to follow. But his sights have always been set on
Ally. She’s his mate, plain and simple. With her sweet and
delicious curves, she’s nothing but sugar and trouble all
rolled into one. But he’s known her and sparred with her for

for her.

a bar…
Gorgeous wood nymph Mia Oliver is on a mission: Find a
