ArecRain (8 KP) rated Double Dose (Research & Desire, #4) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
Sorely disappointed in this book. I was hoping that maybe, just maybe I could escape the overbearing Alpha male trope. But alas I was sorely mistaken. From the very beginning Ari is a Alpha male through and through, and not in a good way. I am sure he was supposed to be dark and brooding, but I quickly lost patience with him. It was around the third time he picked Daphne up to carry her around that my mood turned sour and never sweetened. While Benjy was better, I found that, after a while, his playful antics seemed more childish than endearing.
I wanted to like this novel, but I just couldnt get behind it. The chemistry seemed forced and though it actually had an in depth plot, it wasnt one I could care about. The author does have a good writing style that flows easily. My problem was with the story itself, not the writing.

Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
With Mina in a coma, a loved one returned from the dead, and one of their team members acting odd, Team Alpha is at the lowest it’s ever been. But then mind blowing new information comes to light, and with it, a possible solution.
Old problems.
New and interesting people.
Terrifying future prospects.
Can Team Alpha get their act together and help the Collectors Division stop AoA before it causes more destruction.
Join Jessamina and her team in Book two of the Collectors Division.
I absolutely loved it. The sex scenes are hot and so well done, the characters are really good and I just adore Minaeven more now she a a hot demon side too. Sometimes a female lead can become irritating but not here. Lexie is quite aggressive in her writing and also very honest and I think that’s refreshing. I loved book one too so can’t to read book 3!

Stunning follow up to book one!
*Audible purchase, Jan 2020*
This is book two in the series, and you don't NEED to have read/listened to book one, The Alpha King, but personally I would recommend you do. It will give you a better picture of this world, how things currently work, and how things begin to change.
Caleb has been kept away from everything and everyone but humans and his tormentors for 6 years. Faced with his death at the hands of the leader of the human rebels seems a fitting end to his miserable exsistence. Taegan, however, when realising WHO Caleb is to the current Alpha, doesn't kill him, but takes him captive as a ransom for the missing children. There follows a huge learning curve for both Caleb and Taegan, and when they realise what the children were taken for, Caleb knows he must give himself up to save them. Taegan isn't too keen on that idea, especially since Caleb has stolen his heart.
While The Alpha King was a stunning 5 star listen, I think THIS one is my favourite of the two. But then again, I have The Alpha Prince on my list to be listened to, so I might change my mind again!
Caleb and Taegan's relationship grows, at a steady rate through the book, and I loved how that sort of developed for both of them. There wasn't really that *MINE* moment you get with wolves, and I loved that. Well CALEB (being the wolf) doesn't get it, but Taegan has a dawning realisation early on that there may be something between them, but being human he can't voice it. It takes another, much older wolf, to explain to Taegan what is happening and what it means. I loved that part that Silas (Cyrus? maybe, sorry, I listened and I wasn't quite sure!) played in the whole book, and they way things played out for Taegan and him.
While there is some talk of the new Alpha King, Luca only pops up right near the end, and so does his best friend, Sam. But it's really a brief visit, just enough for Caleb to thoroughly and amusingly embarass himself! It will be interesting to see who pops up in the next book.
Joel Leslie continues to narrate and apart from Silas/Cyrus thing, I LOVED the narration again. It's my only comment, really, and that's not really Leslie's fault, it's just my shitty hearing!
The voices for each character are SPOT on though! When you start the listen to the descriptions of the characters, as they start to tell their story, you build a picture, and then Leslie puts a voice to them, and it blows your picture out the window, because Leslie's voices for Caleb and Taegan fit so much better than the ones I originally heard!
I had no trouble with the emotions these men gave out, and no trouble with the multi person conversations. I loved that Leslie is able to allow me to enjoy listening to books, even as my hearing gets worse. There are few who can, to be honest, keep my fully, totally and utterly engaged. Of course, Leslie reading the words of Victoria Sue help a great deal!
I look forward to listening to book 3, The Alpha Prince, which is next up on my list.

This is a very steamy romance story. This book just grabs a hold of you from the start with the amazing characters and intense storyline. This is a stand alone read which will have you reading long into the night. This story has such depth, chemistry and alpha males that you will love this author. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.

Fantastic Gripping Books
Wow these books really talk about sealing a deal. Four intense alpha males that will touch your mind, heart and soul through stories that will keep you captivated until the very last page. The characters will have you gripping your seat, their stories are so descriptive you can feel a part of the book. Additionally quite graphic with the sexual parts and you actually feel like you are there and part of the story.
