Serial Review - Escape by V.M. Black @VMBlackAuthor (The Alpha's Captive #5)

Escape

The Alpha’s Captive #5

by V.M. Black

Goodreads blurb:  Fifth Installment of the BBW/Shapeshifter Serial - First Book Free
On the run from the vampire mafia, curvy Harper Bailey and the werewolf Levi Harris finally get the files they stole to a secret underground bunker where they can be decrypted.

But the vampires have more resources than either Harper or Levi had counted on. Soon they’re in a desperate flight with even more on the line than ever before, because Levi realizes that he's fallen hard for the shapely Harper, the kind of fall that he's never going to get over. Now he must battle to rescue them both from the danger he's put them in—to save their lives and also their future together.

About the Author:  I'm currently working exclusively in the Aethereal Bonds world, which I've mapped out to be big enough to let me tell all the different kinds of stories I want to share with readers. It's got vampires, demons, weres, faes and more--all sorts of creatures that are great fun to play with.

I live near Washington, D.C., with my family. A proud geek, I love fantasy, romance, science fiction, and historical fiction.  I’m a compulsive dreamer, and I feel spoiled to be able to make a career out of imagining things!

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!

***Received a copy of the ebook in exchange for an honest review

The cover is hot :)  I’ll take Levi under my tree please :)  lol

This is the 5^th part in this serial novella series.  This means you must read them in order to understand what is going on.  The whole serial is published, so waiting which is always a plus :)  Adults only as there are some extremely steamy adult parts ;)

There is more action in this one than the last book, but most of this book was more Levi/Harper issues.  Wow is all I can say, but you have to read it to see what I mean :)  I’m hoping for a HEA ending :)  Also Beane makes an appearance in this book if you have been reading the Taken by the Panther serial, you know who I mean :)

I recommend this serial to all my shifter friends out there :)

Serial Review - Haven by V.M. Black @VMBlackAuthor (The Alpha's Captive #4)

Haven

The Alpha’s Captive #4

by V.M. Black

Goodreads blurb:  Harper Bailey and Levi Harris are on the run from the vampire mafia, who will do anything to get back the files they’ve stolen. After the first attempt to read the files fails, Levi and Harper run the gauntlet to reach someone who can help. But with the vampire hot on their heels, their chances of success—and survival—are quickly shrinking.


Anyone Levi loves is at risk of being used as leverage to get him to do some vampire’s dirty work, so he swore long ago that he would always live the life of a lone wolf. Now he’s far from happy with the thoughts that he’s having about the curvy Harper Bailey, thoughts rooted in his most basic werewolf instincts.


Harper thought she was coming along on an adventure to spice up her boring life. But she soon finds herself falling hard for the ruggedly handsome bad boy biker Levi even as she tries to save him from himself.

The cover is beautiful of course :)  both wolf and man ;)

This is a serial novella series that has 7 parts or books to it.  This is book 4.

Well, this one did not have as much action as the others did, V.M. spoiled me into expecting it…lol!  It is still very enjoyable, and you definitely learn more about Levi.  There of course is still all sorts of sexual tension.

If you’ve read the rest of the series, you can’t stop now :)  I recommend this to shifter lovers :)  Off to read the next part :)

Serial Review - Flight by V.M. Black @VMBlackAuthor (The Alpha's Captive #3)

Flight

The Alpha’s Captive #3

by V.M. Black

Goodreads blurb:  Curvy Harper Bailey’s ordinary life was turned upside down by a chance encounter with the handsome werewolf Levi Harris. On the run from the vampire mafia, he pulls her into his high-stakes world—and straight into the crosshairs. Now she’s got no car, no job, and not even any dry clothes.

To make matters worse, Harper’s falling for Levi hard at the most inconvenient time. And he seems to be developing some very definite ideas where she’s concerned, ideas she’s not so sure she wants to be a part of.

Harper just wants to get through the next couple of days alive—and heart intact. Whatever Levi’s plans might be.

The cover is of course yummy :)  Love it, very sexy!!

This is a serial and you need to read them in order.  This is the 3^rd of 7 episodes :)  They are novella length and do not take long to get sucked and then you will be wanting more because it is over.  :)

Definitely lots of action and some steamy bits :)  So adults only!!  Levi and Harper are still on a mission, and they are not having much luck.  Of course they are messing things up with each other making me yell at the book.  I’m hoping they get it together :)

V.M. does a great job with the descriptions.  I can see everything happening in my head and get sucked right into the story.  It was torture to not go straight into the next episode and by pass my review, but I couldn’t do it :)

I recommend this series to all the werewolf fans out there, you know who you are :)  I’m off to read more :) YAY!!!

Serial Review - Pursuit by V.M. Black @VMBlackAuthor (The Alpha's Captive #2)

Pursuit

The Alpha’s Captive #2

by V.M. Black

Goodreads blurb:  Episode 2 of the New BBW Shifter Series
The werewolf is just the start of Harper Bailey’s bad day….
Curvy Harper Bailey loves bad boys, but Levi Harris might be one step too far. Within a short time of meeting him, her car was stolen, a grenade blew through their hideout, and several men with ugly guns tried to shoot them. And the super-sexy Levi himself turned into a wolf—at the most inconvenient time.

But she’s in for it now. The vampire mafia will find out who she is, if it doesn’t know already, so Levi insists that she stick with him as they try to get the data he stole into the right hands.

Harper is usually game for anything. But never has she played with so much to lose.

The cover is still sexy :)  Levi is welcome in my house anytime ;)

You should know this is a serial, and it should be read in order.  It is definitely adults only as it has some very very steamy scenes.  This particular episode is no longer available on its own, you have to get the bundle of the first 3 books or the bundle of the whole set of 7 to read it :)

Levi and Harper are both still unsure about trusting each other, but both feel this uncharacteristic pull towards each other and are just going with it.  I know this episode is supposed to be longer, but boy was it over quick.  I think it felt that way for me because I was so engrossed into the story.  Tons of action, gunfire, car chases, and more.

I definitely recommend this serial to anyone who enjoys completed serials and of course wolf lovers.  I think if you enjoyed book 1, you will not want to pass up this one or if you are already a fan of V.M. :)

Serial Review - Taken by V.M. Black @VMBlackAuthor (The Alpha's Captive #1)

Taken

The Alpha’s Captive #1

by V.M. Black

Goodreads blurb:  Running for his life, he takes her along for the ride….
Werewolf Levi Harris has a habit of going off half-cocked and getting into trouble. But this time, the trouble just might prove fatal. He’s stolen a trove of information from a powerful vampire mafia network, and they won’t rest until they get it back—and get revenge. His only chance of survival is to extract the information and put it to use before the bad guys catch up with him.

Curvy bombshell Harper Bailey is a good girl with a weak spot for bad boys. When Levi appears, she thinks her dreams have just rolled up on the back of a motorcycle. Little does she know that he’s about to hijack her car and take her straight into the crossfire. But Levi himself might just prove the greatest danger of all….

***Received a copy of the ebook in exchange for an honest review, but I already owned this one and you can too, it is free!!

The cover is awesome whether looking at the first cover or the new one :)  I love them both :)  Levi is looking very sexy :)

I’m starting with the must knows first :)  This is a serial, and for those who don’t understand what that is:  it is like a tv show with several episodes and this one has 7 episodes.  You must read them in order to understand, and you probably will scream when or where it ends :)  Good news :)  All episodes are out and no waiting is required :)  Some authors do serials really well and V.M. Black is one of them.  I say this because even though it is a whole book by itself, I think it is an art to pick just the right place to end where it does feel like you made the reader walk into a wall to stop the story.  She ends at a good place where you have a little closure, but you definitely know there is more and want to read it :)  This of course is for adults only because it has some very steamy scenes.

Levi and Harper are two great characters :)  Harper is strong and won’t let anyone taken anything from her, and she is adventurous :)  I love her spunky attitude and that she keeps surprising Levi with the unexpected :)  Levi is sexy and sort of mysterious, and of course Harper doesn’t realize why she is so taken with him other than she has a thing for bad boys :)

This episode is smoldering with awesome adventure and action :)  I can’t wait for more :)

I recommend this serial to all my wolf lovin’ friends especially if you are already a fan of V.M. Black.  Off to read the next one :)
