Synopsis

Once upon a time, knights in shining armor existed...
We were whisked off on their white horses, taken back to the castle, then crowned their princesses forever...

Then we grew up and wanted more.

Nights that never end. Passion that never dies. Dominance that never stops. Now, we want our alphas: sexy, scintillating, muscled, and masculine. Forget the castle; we crave their cave. Their love doesn't come easily, but their ruthless ways leave us breathless...and begging for more.

Happily-ever-after has never been so much fun, especially now. Multiple authors, along with Once Upon An Alpha, have joined for a collection featuring some of the hottest alpha heroes you'll ever read. Best of all, the proceeds will benefit 4 Paws for Ability.

Review 

Alphas of Sin is a fantastic collection of short stories from twenty top romance authors. I enjoyed every single story, for me they were all deserving of four or five stars. There is a great mixture of styles and themes, there really is something for everyone here. The stories do all have something in common though - they are all red hot! Seriously, this book will set your e-reader on fire! 

I love anthologies for many reasons, the main one being that they are a great way to discover new authors. While some of these authors were already firm favourites of mine, most were completely new to me. I'll definitely be checking out other books from some of those authors.

The other awesome thing about Alphas of Sin, is that all net proceeds go to 4 Paws For Ability who train service dogs for disabled children and veterans. This is a cause close to my heart as I'm a wheelchair user who's lucky enough to have a service dog, so I know how life changing these dogs are. Elgin, my beautiful black Labrador, was trained by a similar charity who are based here in the UK and he's completely transformed my life and given me back some independence. Please do support these authors and help them raise as much money as possible for 4 Paws For Ability.

Alphas of Sin is a great anthology that receives four shiny stars.


I received an ARC of this book to read and review.
