Review:
Tall, Dark and Alpha is a collection that has a little something for everyone. This set includes a total of ten Contemporary, Sports Contemporary, Paranormal and Sci-Fi reads, so it will appeal to a vast audience of readers. The stories are woven together with the prevalent Alpha male theme and if you love a good Alpha, you will love this collection.
I hate to play favorites, but well, I just can't help myself. My favorite book within this set was Sex with an Ex by Eve Vaughn. Ethan is what every Alpha male should be :) This was my first read by all the authors within this set, and there are several that I am already looking for what else they have published. Even if some of the genres within this set aren't a part of your normal comfort zone, take a chance on reading something new! For the ROCK BOTTOM price of .99- this is a great roll of the dice :)
