First of all, you get ten books in this boxed set. That is a win in itself.
This is a collection of romantic suspense short stories or novellas, which include a couple of BDSM themes, a M/M romantic suspense, and a cliffhanger among others.
All of the books include a least one sexy, alpha male and his equally sexy female counterpart. The exception is VIA Covert Team by Kris Cook. This is the M/M story and is full of action, suspense, and intrigue about an LGBTQ covert ops team.
I am familiar with the work of Shayla Black, Lexi Blake, Mari Carr, and Carrie Ann Ryan. Their contributions are excellent as always.
Out of all of the writers in this collection, I am sure you will find something to your liking.

Countdown
Lexi Blake
Maggie and Ben are on a mission to stop a crazed doctor who will do anything for the right price. Finding a bomb with a one hour countdown they can't stop. Seeing their world is about to end, they giving in to the attraction and chemistry they have been dancing around for years. Sexy, adventurous and an awesome twist. One of my favorites of the collection!
Power Struggle
Mari Carr
Bree dipped out on her best friend after a night of intense passion. Reed believes to his core she's the one who got away. Ten years later Bree walks into Reed’s bar with the swagger of a confident alpha woman. Little does she know Reed is not letting go this time around. Holy hotness! Two strong and independent people have met their match with each other. The chemistry is insane and their willingness to protect is amazing. A great friends to lovers story.
CIA Covert Team: Rainbow Knights
Kris Cook
I'm loved, loved, this one! Drake and Chance have hit a major snag in their relationship. A super hot M/M short, that's missing nothing. Sometimes a close call puts things and the love one feels into perspective. Hot CIA agents who melt for each other.
With a Vengeance
ANISSA GARCIA
This one was unexpected surprise of the anthology for me. I love the plot, I love the chemistry, I love set up. Daring, some danger and a possible scandal set the stage for this, break out the fan read. Jake and Olivia meet after a long, hard day. They hit it off and the chemistry flies. However they both have an agenda. Jake decides having Olivia in now part of the plan as well.Prepare for some super hot office sex.
Hard Asset
Kym Grosso
I'm a huge fan of the Club Altura series. Evan work hard and plays hard. A total Alpha who will not stop until he get exactly what he wants. When private company information gets leaked, Evan makes it his mission to find out who. Raine is so much more than she seems. When she's spotting in the right place at the wrong time or vice versa, depending on how you look at it, has a more than a few emotions going through Evan’s mind. Holy hotness! Ms. Grosso leaves readers with baited breath with Hard Asset.
Revenge On The Rocks
Jenna Jacob
Age is only a number when it comes to love. Gina and Nate have some amazing chemistry and they are awesome together. This is my first taste of Ms. Jacob’s writing, and I thoroughly enjoyed Revenge On The Rock. A quicky with heat and heart. Great characters and spot on with the emotions.
Seducing Danger
Kennedy Layne
Kelli is the woman. Strong and smart but sometimes chemistry and emotions get in the way of what should be the right thing to do. Landon is just the right amount of alpha. I enjoyed him very much. Nice role reversal in the plot and a whole lot of hotness.
Enforce Her
Isabella LaPearl
A second chance at romance with bikers. You got me right there. Throw in some suspense, some mobsters and intense chemistry. Ella and Rambler are sure to take readers for on insatiable ride.
Executive Ink
Carrie Ann Ryan
Swoon my heart. Fate, chemistry and an opposites attract romance. I love the Montgomery Ink Series. Ashlynn and Jax meet in moment that is worthy of fairytale. A gesture of thanks turns into something incendiary. As fate plays her hand readers are treated to a super sexy, bearded, brooding Alpha. A perfect addition to the Montgomery Ink family!
The Alphas of Danger Anthology is packed with more hotness and heart than can be put into word. Each story gives readers something different and fresh. Settle in, because once you start reading all these Alphas, you are not going to want to stop.

This is a book that should not be missed!! With ten fabulous authors this collection was like winning the lottery. With stories by Shayla Black, Lexi Blake, Anissa Garcia and Jenna Jacob, just to name a few, the reader gets it all. Alpha romances that include hot sex scenes, angst, and espionage. The pages just flew by and each story was unique, but all had great characters, explosive chemistry and storylines that kept the reader on the edge of their seat and wanting more. A fabulous collection that not only supports a wonderful cause but is a must read. Grab your copy ASAP and sit back and enjoy the ride!!
Some of my favorites......
Devoted to Wicked - Shayla Black - When Karis needs help after her hotel room was burglarized, the last person she hoped would come help her is Cage. But along with saving her the two reunite and sparks fly. But can the romance continue once the danger has passed?
Countdown - Lexi Blake - Deep in the Himalayas - Ben needs to save the world from a disaster. But what he does not plan on is that Maggie has also been sent to complete the mission. When the two are stuck behind locked doors the passion flares. But as time runs out will the two be saved or will their last moments before death be in each others arms? Who will save them when the clock ticks down?
With a Vengeance - Anissa Garcia - Her best friend was murdered and Olivia is determined to find out the truth. But what she does not expect is the man she had a moment of passion with to become a co-worker and stop her investigation. But is Jake all that he seems? Is he there to stop her or help her?
And many, more hot alpha romances included in the collection.

I bought this because I love an Alpha hero and because the proceeds will benefit 4 Paws for Ability, a worldwide agency that enriches the lives of children and veterans with disabilities by training and placing quality, task-trained service dogs. I was not disappointed and I don’t think you will be either.
1. SHAYLA BLACK - DEVOTED TO WICKED – A fun and sexy second chance at romance by the incredible Shayla Black. Enjoy a bit of Alpha groveling on the beaches of Cancun.
2. LEXI BLAKE – COUNTDOWN – Like your Alpha with a bit of adrenaline junkie? You will Love Ben. I loved this story and it got me thinking about what I would do if I only had an hour to live.
3. MARI CARR - POWER STRUGGLE – What would you do if the “One who got away” walked back in the door ten years later? Carter and Bree are best friends and knock heads at every turn but they are meant to be and he means to prove it to her.
4. KRIS COOK - CIA COVERT TEAM: RAINBOW KNIGHTS (M/M) – This story disappointed me because I love m/m. I loved the concept, I loved the guys but the dialog just grated on my nerves.
5. ANISSA GARCIA - WITH A VENGEANCE – This was an emotional rollercoaster of a short story. This is a new to me author but I will be checking out her backlist.
6. KYM GROSSO - HARD ASSET – I really liked this story right up to the end when I screamed NO!
7. JENNA JACOB - REVENGE ON THE ROCKS – Guy in love with an older woman has to show her what their love could be.
8. KENNEDY LAYNE - SEDUCING DANGER – Fun bodyguard story.
9. ISABELLA LAPEARL - ENFORCE HER - A LEATHER, PIPES & PASSION SHORT STORY – Former Military biker and a girl running from the mob. Another new to me author worth checking out.
10. CARRIE ANN RYAN - EXECUTIVE INK - A MONTGOMERY INK SHORT STORY – They saved the best for last. Jax is a big, bearded and inked tattoo artist and Ashlynn is a CFO for a big company. They shouldn’t work but oh do they ever.
I really got a kick out of this book and found some new authors to read.

So many hot males in these stories! Each story was great and amazing! A few of the authors I hadn't read but definitely will be now!
Shayla Black- Her story was amazing as always! This was Kari's and Cage's story which was wonderful and hot!
Lexi Blake- Her story was thrilling and amazing! She's one I had not read previously. This was Parker and Kenzie's story this one left the reader wanting more because of a little twist.
Mari Carr- Always love her books this one was no different! This was Carter and Bree's story. It was steamy and hot and well written.
Kris Cook- New author for me. I enjoyed the story and it was full of action. This is Drake and Chance's story they had amazing chemistry and nicely done.
Anissa Garcia- New author for me. Absolutely loved this story! I couldn't get enough of the tale of
Olivia and Jake/Hunter! I enjoyed reading this story and will definitely be checking out more of her books.
Kym Grosso- This was Evan and Raine's story it kept the reader interested because of the suspense and action throughout the story as well as the chemistry that builds between the characters.
Jenna Jacobs- This was Gina and Nate's story. I enjoyed this story it kept me interested in seeing what would happen next. It was great to see how it would work out.
Kennedy Layne- Story was compelling and captivating to see how everything would work out. It was an enjoyable read.
Isabella LaPearl- Great story and well written. It was captivating and amazing story, worth reading.
Carrie Ann Ryan- This was a Montgomery Ink short story of Jax and Ashlynn. This is a great and amazing story as always. Carrie Ann does it again with her story of Jax the newest member at Montgomery Ink, he's trying to make a new life for himself and his mom and sister. He's moved away from Atlanta to get away from his past and start anew but things don't always go as planned. Ashlynn is a CFO of a company and doesn't have time for romance she works to much and that's just fine with her and meeting Jax was never part of the plan. Overall it was a amazing read. Loved this story.
All of these stories were short but amazingly done and would highly recommend reading them. Loved each one in different ways. I found new authors I enjoyed and will be reading more stories by them.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of Alphas of Danger.

Devoted to Wicked by Shayla Black
What a way to start this book out. Karis was on vacation when her things get stolen. Wow, i would have a mental breakdown if that was me. Now when she sends for help they send the one man she is trying to get away from. She believed circumstances instead of talking to him. So too much time was wasted. What can I say it's a woman thing. I have to say that this short was a full length. Like I feel like I missed the whole story. But for being a short it's packed full with great things.
Countdown by Lexi Blake
I will be honest I didn't care for Maggie/Kenzie at first. I felt she was just a bit to cocky and made Americans seem ridiculous. She slowly started to grow on me when she and Ben was put in a life or death situation. Now Ben I loved from the get go. He was a sweetheart. I can totally see them as a power couple bringing together the Canadian and United States intelligence agencies. Now that would be an amazing book worth every penny.
Power Struggle by Mari Carr
Okay i had a slight problem with this book. I loved the second chance aspect of this book. Bree was it for Carter but he realized that to late. Now that she is back he will do whatever it takes to get her back. Now that is a cute story. But with this one there is a little kinky factor. Now with my kinkiness I need a Dom and a Sub. Not to Doms/Alphas battling it out for that role. It didn't get me going like others by this author does. It's still a great short story for this Anthology don't get me wrong. Just not one i would read on its own.
CIA Covert Team: Rainbow Knights by Kris Cook
This is a M/M short. I am usually not a fan of M/M or F/M/M books but there was something about this short story that was so darn cute and sexy at the same time. Drake and Chance are on the same team and just so happen to be ex lovers. Chance wanted more from Drake. The next step in the relationship. I mean who wouldn't. Drake not so much. I didn't like how he hid behind the team. That its against the rules. I felt he could have came up with a less cliched excuse. But when the mission goes south I was on the edge of my seat reading as fast I could to see what happens next. I just couldn't get enough of them and this team. They were amazing.
With A Vengeance by Anissa Garcia
I loved Olivia but at times I wanted to strangle her. Especially for the way she was treating Jake and he need to find out what happened to her roommate. This book had me on pins and needles waiting to see If she gets her vengeance or not. Jake I knew he was up to something i just didn't know what. Just when i had this figured out the author through a curveball at me that i was so happy about.
Hard Asset by Kym Grosso
This short is just 3 chapters but what chapters. Not only are they packed full with secrets and lies but it also has to do with Evan and Raine trying to protect each other. Raine had secrets but expected Evan to just trust her. Yeah right lady. I rolled my eyes a few times while she tried to explain herself without explaining herself. It was actually kind of funny. Evan was just trying to find out who is selling secrets. I couldn't help but fall in love with that sexy man. The ending of this short had me so frustrated. I needed more. So so much more.
Revenge on the Rocks by Jenna Jacob
I loved this book. Not only does it have a strong woman who can protect herself but she also happens to have a younger lover. Gina owns the bar that everyone frequents. She has never thought about getting married again or fall in love again. Nate loves Gina he just isn't sure how he feels or if he will break his heart. I loved how Nate didn't push Gina but dang man you need to show that old woman that you will be here no matter what. I loved he was there for her whenever she needed him. Even when she wasn't sure of her feelings. This was a cute short filled with drama, romance, and craziness.
Seducing Danger by Kennedy Layne
Landon, what a man, i loved how he was ready for whatever because he knew his competitor played dirty. He just never anticipated his father taking his safety into his hands. Kelli, what a woman, she is a woman after my heart. She will do whatever it takes to make sure Landon is taking care of. She does her job. I loved this short because it was short, cute, and to the point.
Enforce Her by Isabella LaPearl
Rambler and Ella met under different circumstances only to meet again under life or death circumstances. Ella gas her secrets that Rambler needs to know if he is able to protect her. I loved Ella she is a strong woman. Yeah yeah i know she ran but she was protecting Rambler. Rambler what a man. I loved how he had his brothers to help out with the Ella situation. The code talk, yes, i loved how the author had that included it was awesome. When everything came out and situations go crazy I was on pins and needles. I loved the anticipation of it all. Not to mention the action and sexy time. I wish this book was full length I was hooked from chapter one.
Executive Ink by Carrie Ann Ryan
I loved this short. It was a perfect addition to this series. If you haven't read any of them I highly recommend going back and reading them. Ash is such a strong woman. She is a perfect role model that I would want my daughter's to be. To bad you don't hear about the women like her in real life. It would change young women's views of themselves. Jax is a sexy man who cares with all his heart. His love for his little sister lead to him finding Ash. Now that was a cute and unexpected surprise. I do wish that they will get there own full length book.
I love each and everyone of these authors. A few are new to me, which I may or may not have bought a few of each author's books. Just don't tell my husband. This anthology was diverse and you got a little taste of everything. Not only is there amazing romance, sexy time, and intrigue but it also has strong women and even stronger men. Just amazing.

She is a perfect role model that I would want my daughter's to be. To bad you don't hear about the women like her in real life. It would change young women's views of themselves. Jax is a sexy man who cares with all his heart. His love for his little sister lead to him finding Ash. Now that was a cute and unexpected surprise. I do wish that they will get there own full length book.
I love each and everyone of these authors. A few are new to me, which I may or may not have bought a few of each author's books. Just don't tell my husband. This anthology was diverse and you got a little taste of everything. Not only is there amazing romance, sexy time, and intrigue but it also has strong women and even stronger men. Just amazing.

OMG seriously? WTF happened to Shayla Black?? This douche is supposed to be ALL about the heroine. He claims he has wanted no one but her since their ONS but his fuck buddy of 15 years (I am pretty sure after that long we call it a relationship) needs some "release" because her Dad dies and he FINGERS HER! But you know, that is A-OK because he told the fuck buddy he only wants the heroine.
Then the heroine thinks to herself she isn't happy that he touched his fuck buddy like that but she can understand his...wait for it...wait for it...ACT OF COMPASSION.
I literally can't even....
