I make no apologies for being a devotee of Shannon West, I just can't get enough of her books!  I am slowly but surely, working my way through her entire collection and the "Love Slaves of the Alpha" is the start of a new series for me.  And boy or boy!  what a start it was, I adored it!  We are introduced to the "Balenescu" family - who are lycan wolf shifters.  This book concentrates on "Blayde" (love the name), though we are introduced to the other members of the family as well.  Blayde is a "space traveller bounty hunter".  On one of his missions, his fugitive (Ryan Henderson) turns out to be his "mate".  What the hell is he going to do?  Is Ryan the murdering, drug addict that everyone says he is?  Read and find out!  The author always has a certain theme running throughout her books- alpha men, very submissive lovers/slaves, a light touch on BDSM and some may say "cheesy" dialogue.  I personally don't think it is - these alpha men who demand complete submission (not necessarily getting though!), fall hopelessly in love with their "mates".  Their world is harsh and unforgiving, when they find the "one for them", their emotions are all over the place!  To show their love, apart from physically, they use these as endearments, to make their mates feel cherished and loved and believe me, they are loved!  Loved this book and cannot wait to read the next one in the series.  Recommended.
