Rating: 5 out of 5

What can I say that has not been said about this Scandalous Heroes Box Set? These nine authors are all amazing talented women who know how to weave a good story. If you are looking for Alpha Males and something to heat you up this is your set. And honestly who can beat the price?First I will say that some of the stories are novellas and end with you wanting more. But all in all these are 9 full stories.Because this anthology is over a 1,000 pages if I reviewed every authors book this would look more like a dissertation than a review. A few of my favorite stories were as follows:The Diva herself Sienna Mynx starts off the box set with a simmering taste of the Battaglia Clan. Renaldo the Battaglias enforcer gets his own story with Nigerian beauty Kyra. Fear of losing her job Kyra thinks she is playing Renaldo in order to get an interview with Catalina in hopes of saving her job little does she know that all is fair in love and war. Kyra is an up and coming shoe designer with her BFF Jamie. Let me tell you about Ms. Jaime everyone needs a BFF like that someone who is woman enough to beat your face and man enough to wear that tail out. Kyra forgetting about her main agenda in the throes of passion gives herself to Renaldo only there is one stipulation and the word is “Rallenti” which means slow down. Renaldo can’t help himself when he is alone with Kyra and believe me after you read the heat between these two you will need to slow down as well. Sienna combines this tell of lust, passion, and delicious Alpha maleness with a good amount of drama. I wanted more of Kyra and Renaldo and how the relationship would develop. This was a sort of insta-lust/love story I wish as a reader I got to see more development between the two characters. Don’t get me wrong the characters are well developed I just wanted more. This is a complete story with an epilogue and HEA.At 51% We are introduced back to another one of my favorite men and authors Vastily from the Medlov Clan. Latrivia Nelson has done her thing yet again when it comes to these men!!!!We finally get more insight into the quite, stealth enforcer Vasily and his Lilly. Although he may be quite he isn’t any less the alpha male. Years before he worked for the unstoppable Medlov Clan Vasily worked for a boss who was not so nice and very ruthless. Being the enforcer that he is Vasily decides to step up to his old boss to save his Lilly from abuse but he ends up paying a price. Years later ( and not to give away too much of the story) Vasily meets back up with Lilly in hopes of saving her again but this time she has a secret with grave consequences for them both. I love the fact that even though this family is mobbed up and ruthless there are ever so much family oriented the men may rule the streets but the women rule the home. I would love to see Gabriel have his own story just to see who he is getting loved on if not from Bridggy. I mentioned earlier these are novellas just as the height of the drama hits Ms. Nelson hits us with the stay tuned…… Which you totally will stay tuned because even though this was a short story Ms. Nelson writes such a cunning tale of love, lies and deception that you want to know what all Lilly is hiding and how will Vasilly and the family react. After all this is the mob and nothing is worse than dishonor.At 71% Serenity King another one of my favorite authors who can write a delicious Alpha male introduces us to Michael and Kendra. Although this author has been m.i.a. she is nothing to sleep on and if this book is any indication of what is yet to come than get ready to one click ladies. Although it says that this is book two in a series you don’t have to read book one to understand the flow of the story. Ms. King gives you enough detail and story that as a reader you will not feel lost although being it is a series check out the first book. I think this is one of the shortest stories in the anthology but that means nothing when it comes to sustenance. One of the things I love about this author is that she is straight to the point in the story she wants to tell no fillers just good story. Michael is ever so much the playboy until he meet feisty Kendra who he cant stand to be around his arrogance. Drawn together through danger and a whole lot of lust these two fall into each others arms and lets just say that the ride isn’t so easy. A short tale of love, lust and a hit of danger Serenity King weaves together a steamy romance. I cant wait to read what else this author has to offer.Please ladies help support our Indie authors by leaving a review.
