Dominion: A Dark Shifter Collection

Rate this book
Alpha wolf dominance at its darkest, dirtiest, and daddiest... Includes two full-length novels and two short stories.

The Alpha’s Hunger
“Say, I belong to Ben Stone.”

Billionaire CEO Ben “The Stone-Man” Stone never cracks a smile, fires people on the spot, and won’t let anyone work on the same floor as him. Until he meets Ashley, an intoxicating young human from Marketing. Her scent drives him wild, igniting a hunger so deep he can’t resist hiring her to be his assistant.

The Alpha’s Punishment
It started with a small deception…

Ashley’s alpha shifter fiancé still thinks they’ve been trying to conceive a pup when she’s secretly been taking the pill. When he finds out, there’s going to be hell to pay, and that means a hot punishment from her dominant wolf.

The Alpha’s Promise
When an Alpha makes a promise, his word is bond.

When Cody promises the Denver Alpha he’ll rescue his sister-in-law from danger, he doesn’t account for the mayhem the female will bring to his life. He has no idea how to survive with her delectable scent under his roof. When he craves her lush body more than his next breath.
But the sexy real estate agent is too prim and polished for his rough style, too ungrateful for his help, and way too determined to get herself back into trouble.
What she needs is a bit of his wolf-style discipline…

The Alpha’s Protection
His wolf wants to mark me. I can't let it happen.

On the run with my kids, the last thing I expect is to find my true mate.
He's magnificent--a shifter enforcer and a human lawman, a true protector.
He wants to shield us from danger.
He wants to claim me and make it forever.
But I can't let him. Not when it could cost him his life.

So Good!

I thought all three stories were good.Ben and Ashley was a starter into the other two stories,Ben was a was a wolf/man where he was lost in a job that he inherited from his late brother,he sees Ashley and makes a job up so he can hired her.He has a name that he goes by behind his employees call him behind his back,Mr.Stone,he has such a scowl on his face.He tells her to sit and she says Wolf the first day she start her new job.She finds out that her sister is missing,Ben and his pack help to fine her and they all get Ashley too.Ben and Ashley are getting closing,Ben is changing, more open ,smiles at times,Ashley has a secert and Ben isn't go to like it and their life has a couple comes to a end.They talk it out and their does change for the good.Cole and Melissa 's story stared where she is a real estate seller and she is trying to get ex out of their apartment, they are done has a couple.She gets threatened badly and her brother in law hears this and he calls Cole from a different pack to watch over his sister in law.She didn't realize that Cole was CJ.who builds fabulous houses and Melissa has always wanted one.Who every is after Melissa and Jeremy, her ex wants what he stole back and he will get it back no matter wnat.A plan is made and things are set,Melissa decided she was going to do something different. It works out ok.Cole really wants Melissa has his mate but he has a secret and may change her opinion of him.,they talk and they listen to each other.This was my favorite of the three stories. Mark and Colleen, this stories was dark and intense. Colleen and her two kids are on the run ,her son gets injured and she calls Mark for help.All three of them move into Mark's house.They get stronger, healthier, smiling and Mark wants to mate her but afraid of moving to fast and scaring her. But it getting harder and harder,Colleen hears that her husband on way to get Colleen and the kids,Mark's a plan but while he was out she gets the gun and goes to finish him.This story had feeling and caring,Mark was a older man and he fell for Melissa and the kids,even if she and kids look like they are on the leg.He wanted to mate her,she didn't think she could have a different mate,but she gets some news and it changes everthing.

It is interesting to see how this author's work has evolved over time. I feel like these books have a different level of intensity.

The Alphas Hunger
This was a little confusing to me in the way things were laid out in the book. For example, I found out at the bar that Ben felt guilty about his father and brother's death, but it wasn't until almost the end of the book that the circumstances were revealed.
I spent most of the book wondering what Ben did regarding his family to make him fight his natural attraction to Ashley so strongly. Also, knowing he was an Alpha wolf, why was he so convinced he couldn't lead the pack?
I know it was explained a bit, but it didn't seem (to me at least), that there was enough information to merit those feelings.
Overall, if you are looking for a sexy, Alpha wolf dominant, spanking take, this should fit the bill.

The Alpha's Promise
Interesting storyline and characters. I had a like/dislike relationship with Melissa. Admittedly Cody had his own preconceived notions about her, but he didn't seem to be deliberately hurtful in the same way she was hurtful. I understand she was trying to protect herself, but Cody was trying to protect her too.
They ultimately achieve their HEA. I want to see how Mark and Colleen work out their relationship.

The Alpha's Punishment
I would consider this a bonus story or epilogue to The Alpha's Hunger as it revisits Ben and Ashley's relationship now that it is further down the road. A matter of a lack of communication.

The Alpha's Protection
Mark and Colleen's story has more of a Daddy Dom sense to it. Of course Colleen takes it upon herself to try and protect everyone by herself. Why do untrained h's do that when they had trained partners or friends right on their doorsteps?

This set is full of alpha dominance, full on open door heat, spanking, and a pinch of a Daddy Dom rescuer. 4.5 stars
If any of this offends you, I would take a pass on this set.
If this is your jam, you should enjoy the box set.

This book includes four stories, the first being Alpha's Hunger Where Ben Stone took over running his deceased brother's gaming company...hiring Ashley Bell as his PA after discovering her still at work, trying to "meditate" a migraine headache away...and even though she's human, his wolf wants her...and she is used to try to oust Ben from CEO position, but will it cost him the company to act on his attraction...followed by Alpha's Punishment which is continuation of Ashley and Ben's story when a lie comes to forefront...and this is followed by Cody and Melissa's story, Alpha's Promise, with Cody being an Alpha wolf for Colorado Springs pack and owner of large Real Estate and renovation company, making a promise to Ben Stone protect Melissa who is Ashley's twin sister...Melissa has dated a series of losers, and one of them robbed known drug dealer who now threatened both...but can a tattooed construction worker claim the princess??? This leads to the final story, Alpha's Protection, where pack member Mark Ruhl works for DEA and is enforcer for Shifter Council finding his fated mate through Cody after beaten female shifter with her two children are helped by Colorado Springs pack...with Mark offering his home and protection for the family from a psychotic ex when abuse of mate and pups last thing a wolf would do...Excellent read, but if reader is offended by several spanking, steamy scenes, may want to skip...I voluntarily read this book through an Advanced Reader Copy.

I loved all these stories in this well done collection.
The Alpha's Hunger : I loved the interaction between Ben and Ashley, it's hot and sexy. Ben is the first Alpha shifter that I liked from page one. This story is so well written that the reader will be quickly drawn into the lives of the characters and want them to succeed. I loved this entertaining and enjoyable story.
The Alpha's Punishment : This is an addition to the first one in this series but is a full and rounded story. Ben wants pups. Ashley is not ready but hides it from Ben. Not a plan. The punishment is hot sexy with spankings and erotic scenes. I love all the real and rounded characters. Very well done.
The Alpha's Promise : This is Cody and Melissa's story. Two clashing promises. Cody tries to keep man avoiding Melissa safe. I loved their interactions. They keep fighting their reactions to each other. I loved both of them and their hot sexy story. Well worth the read.
The Alpha's Protection : I loved this story. Mark is very much a Daddy and just what Colleen needs. All the characters are very well done. I loved the pups, they are so real. There are plenty of different elements in this well done page-turner. I wanted to sleep but I had to be sure that Colleen would have the safe home that she deserved. A very enjoyable and emotional story.
I reread all of these stories just to remind myself how readable the collection is. Wonderful.

This is a collection of three reissued books. Alpha Hunger is the first book in the collection. Ben Stone is the CEO of a tech company and Ashley Bell marketing assistance. When Ben hires Ashley to be his assistant, there is attraction between the two, but Ben is a wolf shifter and Ashley is human. Ben cannot figure out why his wolf is attracted to a human. When Ashley's twin is kidnapped and she is forced to participate in an attack on Ben. Ben and Ashley go on the run and try to figure out who is after Ben and his company. Alpha Punishment is an novella which follows up on Ben and Ashley. Ben wants a baby and Ashley has been lying to Ben a out being on the pill. Alpha Promise is the second book in the series. Melissa is Ashley's twin who is trying to move on from a disastrous relationship. When her ex steals from his job, they target Melissa. Cody Steele is the Alpha and is asked a favor to protect Melissa. Cody and Ashley are attracted to each other but both have the wrong impression of each other. Alpha Protection is the final book in the collection and it follows Collen an abused female wolf on the run from her mate with her kids. DEA agent Mark Ruhl knows that Colleen is his fated mate, but she will need a softer approach after years of abuse. When Colleen's mate finds them Mark is willing to do what it takes to protect her and her pups. Overall, this was an very engaging read and I enjoyed reading this series again.

This collection is captivating. Alpha's Hunger. I liked that Ashley saw the man inside and not his outside rough and bluff act with her. Their chemistry was mesmerizing. I liked how they teamed up to defeat evil. When Ben becomes aware of the B C pills the punishment chapters are pure wild and wicked fun!!!
The Alpha's Promise. The story continues with Ashley's twin sisters Melissa being in trouble with the mob because of her ex Jeremy. Ben asks favor from another pack (Cody) to rescue Melissa and that's the beginning of the end. The journey is an experience not to be missed. Cody fights the attraction, but love wins out!
Alpha's Protection. The last book is about the she wolf and her pups who were abused by her alpha mate. She's on the run for safety. Am instant protector arises when plans are made for her safety. Mark and Colleen's love story is a rocky road and Mark is more than up to the challenge of her ex and his pack with some surprise help she never saw coming. An excellent Alpha collection to enjoy!

Apparently I'm the outlier here but I just couldn't like this... DNF after the first story. It's super dry and the smut comes across as dull and like it was written by a guy imo.

Ben has no personality aside from being a wolf and dominant I couldn't visualize or connect him as a character.

Ashley was being AF and alternates between being a sex vixen basically begging this man to sleep with her to scared, weepy girl. It was not great to read and the scenes weren't sexy IMO. Also, she KNOWS he's a wolf, he warms her her losing control and she keeps pushing but acts all surprised when she gets hurt. Truly dull and TSTL and if she didn't "smell good" they'd have nothing in common.

Then there's the plot which feels slow, clunky and half baked with random characters we don't know or care about. A pass for me.

Terrific set of Early Stories!!

The Alpha's Hunger
The Alpha's Punishment - short story
The Alpha's Promise
The Alpha's Protection - short story

What fun to visit these re-releases of Renee’s early stories. She states she purposely did not rewrite these in keeping with the different style she used in her earlier writing. Thoroughly enjoyable, and also intriguing in learning that aspect too.

The Alpha’s Hunger and The Alpha’s Promise each highlight twin sisters Ashley and Melissa. The Alpha’s Punishment continues Ashley’s story and The Alpha’s Protection features a new character from these stories. to have these in the same binding is quite the bonus!

Her early works already display an attention to detail. create an exciting shifter world, and sizzling romance. Very entertaining. Jump in!

This Dominion series by Renee Rose is a delightful collection of wolf shifter romances around the same group of characters (mostly). I remember reading these stories years ago and it was fun to give them a re-read. Each one involves a growly alpha wolf and their not-so-damsel-in-distress (future) mates. The chemistry between the MC/FC in each book is fun and scintillating. And I absolutely loved how aggravated the MCs would get at times. If I had to choose my favorite, I’m leaning toward “The Alpha’s Protection” with “The Alpha’s Promise” a close second simply because I enjoyed the plots the most. That’s not to say that “The Alpha’s Hunger” isn’t a great story, but that’s my ranking and I’m sticking to it. Great collection.

These four books are all related in more than one way. One of them is a bonus story for another, so there are really three separate stories. All three men are dominants for sure. All three women are willing to submit. Two of the women are twin sisters, the other is an abused she-wolf. One of the men is a DEA agent who appears in all three books, the other two are pack alphas (though one takes this title towards the end of his story).

All that said, these books go well together and keep your interest throughout. I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

This is a collection of stories wrapped up with an absolutely gorgeous cover.
I had previously read these books from this author and I think that my love for wolf shifter male falling in love with a human girl probably come from these stories.
It was very nice to go back reading Ben and Ashley's story (Alpha's Hunger). The author does write a boss alphahole so well !
Melissa (Alpha's Promise) is still one of my favorite heroine and the story is action-packed. Impossible to put down.
Alpha's Protection is different : the heroine is a shifter, and a mother, in serious need of a knight in shining armor.
It's quite an emotional read and Mark does it's absolute best to protect her and her pups.
I was very happy to go back and re read my first shifter books !

"How could he doubt she was his mate? Their chemistry was off the charts."

This is a collection of all the novellas in the Alpha Doms series. With the exception of the last story, all the others were written almost ten years ago. I'm not going to discuss each individual story. If you are interested, I have written reviews for each one under their original listings. Instead, this review is about this collection.

Renee states in the forward that she decided not to do any re-writes of the stories and instead has left them as they were originally written. They are kind of like a time capsule since her writing style has changed significantly over the years. I think this is actually part of the charm here. In some ways, it's like taking a step back and reading or re-reading stories from the past. It's a nostalgic feeling and I really enjoyed it. And it was fun to read them all at once instead of spread out over the years. Together they are stronger.

These stories are very domestic discipline focused, so be warned if that's not something you want to read about. This was very common in the books Renee wrote back then.

Are these stories perfect? No, not really. They are all too short, in my opinion. I always loved the characters and felt there was more that needed to be told. A part of me does wish she had gone ahead and expanded the stories. The Alpha's Promise especially would have benefitted from a major re-write. I always felt Cody and Melissa's story was a little incomplete.

But, as I said before, I see the appeal of leaving these stories the way they were originally written. Not everything needs to be updated and changed. Sometimes books should stay as they are. They are, as Renee says, "a picture in time". And I agree. Although that doesn't mean I wouldn't welcome future additions to the series. The last story was written in 2021, so there's always the possibility. And I still keep hoping she'll write an extended bonus story for Alpha's Promise like she did for Alpha's Hunger and close up those loose threads. Hey, it could happen.

The Alpha’s Hunger; The Alpha’s Punishment; The Alpha’s Promise; The Alpha’s Protection.

I'm so happy Ms. Rose put together this box set.

I've had The Alpha's Punishment in my library since 2017!

Now, I've finally read it and these others!

Always delicious.
Always steamy!
Fantastic characters, world-building, dialogue.

Ms. Rose gets better and better with time.
But even all those years ago, you can't dispute her talent!

So good!

What a wonderful bookset. These are the first books in the shifters that Renee wrote, and even though she has written a lot more over the years, these stories still are so very good. Alpha males and the females who love to give them a run around. Drama, chemistry and a little twist makes these stories so very good to read.
I really do recommend this set to those who love to read shifter stories!

If you love shifters and steam this collection is for you. I enjoyed all three of these tantalizing books. The characters had great chemistry, and each couple generates plenty of heat and sparks. Emotions, drama, twists, action, humor and a bit of kink make a potent blend that flows smoothly and seduces you right in and has you thrilled to linger.

What girl doesn't want a partner willing to go to any length to keep her safe? Ben may be unwilling to take over his brother's empire and pack, but to keep his mate safe, he is willing to take on the risks. Zolla may be one of my favorite side characters.

I read and reviewed a copy of this book.

Four books in one. These four different books follow four different couples. Everything about this world is amazing. Re reading this work years later has been amazing and to see where this author was to where she is now is amazing and we still get the same things we love with Renee Rose and her shifter romance.

Dominion: A Dark Shifter Collection is a well-written, sinfully sexy, hot as hell read by the awesome Renee Rose. There are two full-length stories and two related novellas that are briefly described in the book blurb, which doesn't come close to showing what great stories they are. Interesting, steamy, and exciting, with likeable characters, the romances in this collection are impossible to put down because you just need to know what's on the next page. I loved it!
