I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Whitney Wickham is the youngest of a set of triplets. Her two sisters grew up Marked-- knowing that one day each of them would be mated with a pair of Alpha Wolves. Whitney never had a Mark, so while her sisters were homeschooled and told fairy tales involving one princess and her two princes, Whitney attended public school and read Dick and Jane books. Despite their differences, as adults Whitney and her sisters enjoy a close relationship bound together by humor and love. At thirty, Whitney is confused as to why she's been summoned to The Gathering, basically a werewolf version of Love Connection where Marked women find their mated pairs. Enter Emmett and Levy, two extra special wolves, and everything starts to make a hot and smexy kind of sense. 

I thought I was fairly well-versed in the various genres of romance, but I have to confess I had to look up the acronym BBW. Then I realized I've read many books that fall into this category without knowing there is a formal label for such protagonists.  Whitney is a Big Beautiful Woman, and I love it. People come in all shapes and sizes, and we're all deserving of love-- so our romance novels and smut should reflect that. Whitney is sassy and sexy and the chemistry between her and her two wolves is off the charts hot. Just personal preference, threesome stories are not my thing, but Ms. Kyle won me over with her humorous narrative and steamy, fast-paced flow. Whitney: Alpha Marked is a quick read at 78 pages, perfect for when you need a fast, lighthearted diversion. Four mugs!

I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

At some point in the future, earth fell, conquered by extraterrestrials. Humans were killed or placed into servitude. Jess, once a capable young business woman, endured the horrors of a brothel. Her will was stripped from her by otherworldly hallucinogens, and not only was she forced to perform and endure horrific acts with various alien species, she was made to believe she enjoyed them. Dangerously Hers starts a few years after Jess's traumatic experiences in the brothel. She's a spirited survivor, though still recovering, and is slow to trust. Enter a hunky, golden skinned warrior, and smexienss and drama ensue.

The heat level in this novel is off the charts HOT. That being said, the characters fall together physically early on in the story. I wanted to be teased a bit more, to feel that delicious tension that brings me back to romances again and again. Though I must admit, the angst after their first encounter kept me clicking pages. I also craved more universe building; to me the point of Sci Fi is to become immersed in the sights and sensations of space and other worlds. Dangerously Hers offers some descriptions of the political climate, the fall of earth, and the planet Sonis-- but I wanted more. Perhaps this is what I get for diving into the third book of a series; likely the first book more fully addresses these elements. Despite these areas of critique, Ms. Griffin has created an erotic, engaging tale. Well worth an afternoon's read.

Three and a half mugs.
