Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this box set. I was asked to review all ten books, however I only finished 8 so will just review those 8. Devoted to Wicked, Shayla Black. 4 stars Stuck in Mexico when her passport is stolen, Karis doesn't expect Cage to come get her. I really liked this. Cute and to the point, but with that deadly undertone that all the books in this set carry, it sets to pace for the whole set. Part of the Wicked Lovers series. Makes me want to read more. Countdown, Lexi Blake. 5 full stars! Faced with their death, watching it countdown on the bomb in front of them Ben and "Maggie" spent their last hour doing something they should have done years ago. OMG!! My favourite of the whole lot!! Did not see that coming at me, not at all. I expected there to be a positive outcome, because who wants to read a romance where they both die, but I did not expect THAT ending! Left wide open for a full book, maybe?? I certainly want to read more about these two. Power Struggle, Mari Carr. 4 stars Ten years ago, Bree ran from Carter, but now her stepfather has escaped from prison, she knows she needs him. Alpha male meets Alpha female, head on!! Probably the most explicit of the set, but I really enjoyed it. CIA Covert Team, Kris Cook. As much as I love MM, I did not like this and did not finish it, and cannot, for the life of me, figure out why! With a Vengeance, Anissa Garcia. First person present tense. Nope. The other one I did not finish. Hard Asset, Kym Grosso. 5 stars! Evan is trying to catch who is selling National and company secrets. Raine just happens to land in his crosshairs. Another OMG ending! Seriously great reading, for such a short book, it packs a punch. Not a HEA, and I NEEEEEED to read their full story! Revenge on The Rocks, Jenna Jacob. 4 stars. Gina is 12 years older than Nate. When Gina goes missing, he knows that he will do all he can to find the love of his life! Cute tale, made ME think, so gotta be good! Seducing Danger, Kennedy Layne. 4 stars Kelli catches Landon's eye, turns out she'd been watching him all along! Really great read, enough sexiness to make it HAWT, but without the danger level of the other books in this set. Enforce Her, Isabella Pearl. 4.5 stars. On the run, Ella crashes her car. Rambler comes to her rescue. OH!!! A new to me author, and this world is most firmly on my TBR list now! So close to the full 5 stars. Maybe had THIS been a full length book, it might have hit that fifth star. Executive Ink, Carrie Ann Ryan. 4 stars. Ashlynn just wants one night with her tattooed rescuer. But Jax keeps popping up, and he wants more. A fab little short, of opposites really do attract and fate will do her best to get what she wants! All in all, a great box set of Alpha males and Alpha females, but reading them all back to back was maybe a little bit too much, even for me! 4 stars for the entire set, with two standouts and two unfinished. **same worded review will appear elsewhere**
