Braden doesn’t deny himself of Lizzie, but when she backs away afterwards because of his reputation, he is at a loss of what to do.

In From the Cold by Lexi Blake – 5 stars
Goddess, I love a good MMF, and Lexi delivers it so beautifully here! An office attraction, and a years long secret affair throws everyone out of sorts. 6 months later, they are trying to work things out, but hurt feelings and lingering pain hold things back. When Gideon Dom’s up, Reid and Jessica don’t stand a chance!
Midnight Wild by Mari Carr – 5 stars
This anthology is spoiling me, an MFM, with two dominants, I think I’ve gone to heaven! Brooklyn has been lusting after her bosses for two years, and they her. When they nearly lost her to another man, they are not wasting anytime making sure her string of bad luck on New Year’s Eve takes a turn, or two, for the better, and into an HEA!
Seduced by the Bride by Shayla Black – 5 stars
Love a good forbidden, she’s too young story, and then she comes back all grown up. The heat between Perrie and Hayden radiates off the page, and the emotional connection they have is right there with it!
Forbidden Redemption by Sidney Bristol – 3 stars
The story seemed to start in the middle of a story, and it explained some of why we were there, but it truly felt like you needed to read another book (??) to get the background and the reasons for the characters acting the way they did. Because of that confusion, it was hard to get into the characters or the story
The Professor by Katana Collins – 4 stars
I really liked this story, I love this trope! Reid and Hazel had such great chemistry, right from the beginning, and it sustained itself through the whole story. Loved that epilogue!
I really enjoyed the opportunity to stick my toe in the water just enough to test the temperature, and I’m happy to report that I’ve found some new-to-me authors that have me ready to dive in deeper.
SEDUCE THE BRIDE BY SHAYLA BLACK
“Hayden’s impact on my restraint is nuclear. Trying not to be affected by him is like trying not to notice a mountain directly in my path.”
This story is what led me to the anthology, Shayla Black. This age-gap story is short but sweet and sexy. Hayden’s integrity fights his lust for her and it’s a long struggle for dominance…until she finds another man who won’t deny her. Is it too late for him to change his mind and claim what’s always been his?
IN FROM THE COLD BY LEXI BLAKE
“—she knew what had been wrong with her previous sexual encounters. They hadn’t been with him.”
Holy Hotness, Batman! This is only the second story in the anthology and I don’t know if I can handle more heat. Being brought ‘in from the cold’ is an understatement! I really enjoyed this tale from the amazing Lexi Blake, she never disappoints.
FORBIDDEN REDEMPTION BY SYDNEY BRISTOL
“They knew each other’s secrets. Even the ones that hurt.”
This #Friends2Lovers romance had me sighing in satisfaction one moment and glaring at my Kindle the next. I can’t tell you why, but let’s just say that ‘redemption’ has various meanings and my thoughts went to a dark place regarding some people that need an attitude adjustment, and I wanted very badly to be the one to give it to them.
MIDNIGHT WILD BY MARI CARR
“She was strong, a survivor, someone who’d looked adversity in the eye at a young age and hadn’t crumbled.”
This was my introduction to Mari Carr, and I loved it! She put some wicked ideas in my head and I’ll have trouble NOT remembering them when ‘midnight’ of New Year’s Eve rolls around next year. I’m sure I’ll be wishing for some #MidnightMagic of my own.
SCANDALOUS BILLIONAIRE BY SIERRA CARTWRIGHT
“His reputation preceded him. Scandalous was perhaps his favorite word.”
My first Sierra Cartwright read was a doozy. Sexy Billionaire? Bossy Billionaire? Kinky Billionaire? What’s not to like about this ‘scandalous’ and saucy story?
THE PROFESSOR BY KATANA COLLINS
“I was used to people watching me. I wasn’t used to people seeing me.”
#MissionAccomplished! I found a new author to stalk. I loved this story so hard. I’m wondering how Katana Collins has avoided my radar before now. But, never fear, it won’t happen again. I can’t wait to see what other goodies she’s got out there for me to devour. The line forms here…
INNOCENCE UNCAGED BY JENNA JACOB
“The timing had been all wrong for us before. I’d been born a decade too soon.”
I popped my Jenna Jacob cherry with a steamy age-gap story. It’s a good thing that cabin was in the snow or it might have burned to the ground from the heat they were generating.
HIS PRIVATE COLLECTION BY GENEVA LEE
“I want a man who gives me exactly what I want even when I don’t know what that is.”
Geneva Lee is another new author for me. And I must say, when she allowed me to view her ‘private collection’ I blushed…all the way to the end. Yes, I’m a #VirtualVoyeur.
ALL FALLING DOWN BY ANGEL PAYNE
“‘Excuse me?’ I refocus on my monitor like it’s Prime Day on the ‘Zon and I want every pair of cute boots on sale.”
It was the humor and witty banter that kept me entertained in this story. Well, maybe the sexy part was really good too.
SEDUCTIVE BY WILLOW WINTERS
“That part of me that doesn’t know it’s broken until she heals me…it’s screaming in pain now.”
Sigh…another author that slipped past my radar. This tiny taste of Willow Winters has me all raring to take a bigger bite. I love broken characters, alpha men and dark stories. It’s obvious I’ve been missing out and I need to get busy catching up.
This is a wonderful collection of novellas by a group of amazing authors. I felt privileged to be part of this incredible charity “4 Paws For Ability”. I have reviewed 4 of the stories in this Anthology thus far.
Scandalous Billionaire by Sierra Cartwright…
Braden Gallagher got the shock of his life when he found Elizabeth Ryan rummaging in his bedroom closet of all things. First thing he noticed, she was all grown up and beautifully sexy. They knew each other in Highschool 10 years ago. Her mother looked after the Gallagher household for years. Braden was rich, gorgeous and dated many women in his life. But he was not interested in a long term relationship, but Lizzie could definitely change his mind.
When Lizzie was helping her mom get ready for a huge anniversary party at the Gallaher residence, she came across a man’s tie. As it was Braden’s home, she thought a quick trip to his bedroom to put it back in place would be easy enough to do. Not so lucky, Braden caught her in the act. She had a huge crush on him in school and the way her body was reacting to his presence, she still did.
The sexual chemistry between them was apparent from the get go and she learned that Braden had a certain “lifestyle” that she was intrigued in and wanted to learn more. We follow this couple as they discover their true feelings about each other. This was a hot quick sexy read and as always Sierra Cartwright does not disappoint.
All Falling Down by Angel Payne…
Katherine Casey is the Chief Operations Office of a company called Up-To-Eleven Sports Gear. The company approves products such as skateboarding, BMX Lines, etc. There is quite a story involved with a douche canoe named Brett Buckhorn. He had unusual ways of how he wanted her to show her appreciation in acquiring that title. Katherine’s friend Edie in this story is a pistol. She is feisty and a hoot, always trying to get Katherine to let her hair down and forget about her job once in a while and have some fun.
Katherine lives precariously through her earlier days in school when she had a hot sexy encounter with a boy named Adan Tyler. He was her first experience in everything smoking hot. She can never look at a library the same ever again. She is thrust out of her daydreams into reality when Adan literally bumps into her in the lobby of her workplace. Adan has definitely grown up to be quite a gorgeous man from the boy she first knew. Adan is thrown for a loop when he sees Katherine again. He has never forgotten her and she was the one that got away.
Adan and Katherine do a lot of sexy flirting and end up going much further. Katherine still has insecurities as Adan is known to have quite the reputation with the ladies. This story was fun and sexy and has a couple of twists that definitely keep your interest.
Seduce the Bride by Shayla Black…
Hayden Hughes is in a hot mess of a predicament. He has sexual feelings for his friend and business partner’s daughter. Normally that should not be a problem, but she is 12 years his junior and has her whole life ahead of her. Perrie Atkins has always had a crush on Hayden. They have known each other for years and are good friends and have fun together, good clean fun. But as time has gone on, she has found herself in love with him. To her an difference in age is not an issue. When Perrie propositions Hayden, he finds himself in a very hard dilemma. His body is on board for having some steamy sex with Perrie, but his mind is a whole other matter. He has to be the mature one here, so he says it can’t happen. It would jeopardize his personal and business relationship with her father.
Fast forward 4 years. Perrie comes home and with her a surprise. Hayden finds himself kicking himself for letting her get away. He makes it his mission to win her back at all costs. But he does not have much time to make this happen. A wonderful quick saucy read that was fully enjoyed by this reader.
Seductive by Willow Winters…
This is an extension of Daniel and Addison’s story. I would recommend that you read Possessive first.
I was more than thrilled to pick up on Daniel and Addison’s lives as I was left wondering about what happened with these two after reading Possessive. Although a short novella, Willow Winters has jampacked a lot of emotions into it. Addison is so in love with Daniel that she makes the decision to return to the darkness that is his life with his brothers, the Cross Brothers. She knows that when she returns, it is to the ruthless and dangerous lifestyle that goes hand in hand with Daniel. She still does not feel that she fits in with this family, but she does want to be a part of a family unit. She knows that Daniel would die to protect her and his love for her is what draws her back to an unsure future.
It was so wonderful to read collectible of anthologies. I actually enjoyed wonderful stories and meeting new characters. The best of all was all the awesome and best authors in the business come up with heart touching stories.
4 STARS
I love alpha males! There were so many great authors who took part in this amazing anthology. There were many that I’ve previously read and a few that were new to me, so that was a pleasant discovery.
One of the stories that stand out to me from the line up is Seductive by Willow Winters. This provides more to Daniel and Addison’s story in Possessive. I loved this addition to their story.
The profits from the sale of this anthology goes to the non-profit organization Paws For Ability, which is an added bonus to getting this book. If you enjoy alphas and anthologies, this is one is a MUST read and I highly recommend it. Alphas Confess All will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ELITE!!!

And, of course, it’s for a good cause too. 4 Paws for Ability enriches the lives of children and veterans with disabilities with trained service dogs. How amazing is that!!!
Innocence Uncaged by Jenna Jacob
This was quite an emotional, and hot, short story about unrequited love, and what some will do to protect the ones they love. I completely loved this story!! Ryder, the big mountain man, hiding from his past, once again saving Katiana. Only now, secrets will be revealed, feelings will be expressed, and lives will be changed. And you’ll love it.
This is a great anthology for a great cause with so many great authors that participated. I especially loved Seductive by Willow Winters as she brought me a character I was already familiar with. For all Willow Winters fans, you get a glimpse into Daniel and Addison which is an extension of Possessive.
It is nice discovering new to me authors in anthologies like this. All the stories were great and just gave you enough intrigue to delve into the backlist of these authors. I always recommend Anthologies especially since this one goes towards a nonprofit organization, Paws 4 Abilities.
AMAZING!! I love this anthology! Alphas Confess All is a collection of novellas from some of your favorite authors – and proceeds from the sale of this book will go to 4 Paws for Ability! You cannot go wrong with this book!! FIVE STARS!!
This anthology was such a great read. I was lucky enough to be chosen to read the ARC in exchange for a voluntary, honest review. I’m glad I did. I’m very familiar with Shayla, Lexi and Mari and their stories did not disappoint. I also have new authors to follow.
In From the Cold and Midnight Wilde were my FAV’s. In From the Cold had me so up and down. At times I wanted to strangle Gideon. He put them both through so much. Then Mari melts the glaciers with Brooklyn and her bosses.
I also enjoyed Keegan and Willow’s story. UUGH Jace…tried to ruin everything. The ending was PERFECT. Keegan was going to fight for their love and Willow was stronger than she thought. Awesome story.
These stories are hot, fast and keep you from putting the book down.
What a delicious collection of short but smokin hot story. Each one was unique in its own way and made it easy to breeze right through this anthology!

I really enjoyed this anthology. I feel that there is something for everyone. Insta-Love and characters who knew each other for years before getting together. Short, quick reads and stories that had a little more journey. Forbidden romance, age gap, virgin heroines, damaged heroes, ménage, and a bit of BDSM. I loved reading stories from authors I already knew as well as getting a taste of authors I haven’t read before.
So many incredible authors!
I’ve read Scandalous Billionaire by the lovely and talented Sierra Cartwright! Braden and Lizzie have known each other for years. They may have grown up around each other, but still in two very different worlds. Her mother has been his family’s housekeep for a long time and was there for Braden many times while he was growing up. Now, fast forward to the present and they are both adults and they run into each other where the chemistry is strong between these two. She has interests in his hidden toys in his closet and he wants to experience her… But, he doesn’t do commitments and she doesn’t do casual and doesn’t want to end up one of the girls you read about… They’ve both had some bad experiences in the past, but can they get over the past and meet each other or will they both be too stubborn and miserable… You gotta love the Titan men… This was an another amazing book by Sierra! Love these two <3<3<3
