Sedona and Carlos' character development was a bit thin but the erotic parts of this book are really, really good. There is just enough kink and the mating urge to hold the start of this book together and from there the book centers on Sedona's pregnancy and Sedona and Carlos finding their path forward. The sex in Alpha's Prize is kinky and abundant.

I would read books by the authors in the future, but I don't plan on going back and catching up with the series.

Renee Rose can write stuff so steamy that it feels like pages will catch on fire. The is a sexy fast hot sizzling read that continues the story of the Bad Boy Alphas. The chemistry between Sedona and Carlos is off the charts amazing, sexy, and at times so fun and dirty. Sedona finds herself held captive and at the mercy of her captor. What happens when the alpha shifter finds himself with a alluring beauty and instead of wanting to get rid of her he finds himself wanting to protect and keep her. Will they find out what makes them happy or will happiness fall to the wayside? Thank you for allowing me to read this and write a unbiased and honest review.

Alpha's Prize is the third book in the Bad Boy Alpha's series and I have read all three of the books and can say with all certainty that this book has been my favorite so far.
Although a lot darker than the previous two books in the series, I really felt captured by the story and characters and enjoyed this book a lot more than I had the previous two books in the series. I look forward to reading more in this series, because there has to be more!

Thanks to Netgalley and Romance Beckons Burning Desires (Publishing) for generously providing me with a copy of this book for a fair and honest review

If you’re in the mood for a shifter romance that is hot and steamy… and gets right into a situation, then the third story of the Big Bad Alphas is exactly what you’re looking for. Most shifter romances are steamy by nature, but Alpha’s Prize will hit all the right hot spots.

I don’t think it will affect your enjoyment of this story if you haven’t read the first two in the series. Perhaps to get details first hand, but what is important to ALpha’s Prize is given to the reader, so if you read this out of order it won’t be the end of the enjoyment for you.

Carlos and Sedona make an intriguing couple. While Carlos’ pack is in some serious trouble, and he himself is in danger. He is trying to make the right decisions about Sedona. She didn’t ask for anything that has happened to her either when they were locked up together or before then. But she is dealing with the aftermath… and one serious attraction to an Alpha she shouldn’t be able to trust. Carlos plans to pursue Sedona once he gets his pack straightened out, but nothing ever goes as planned.

Steamy, emotional and full of action. I’d recommend Alpha’s Prize to any Paranormal Romance reader who likes their stories boiling hot.

Nice story, with a good backstory and development of the main characters in their POV. A sweet relationship between the protagonists and steamy scenes to satisfy the naughty ones.

Let me just start by saying this is not my usual read. I might not of picked something like this up off the shelf on my own. And when I say this novel gets right down to business, IT GETS RIGHT DOWN TO BUSINESS. Immediately.

This novel is very sweet, but it's also action packed, dramatic, and mysterious. The attention to detail is exquisite. It is VERY detailed, in ALL aspects, if you know what I mean.

Alpha's Prize can be read as a standalone, I have never read any of the others in this series and I was not confused about anything. Rose and Savino definitely built an amazing story in 205 pages. I think this novel itself could've been extended or continued in another book just because there is one loose end that was left unraveled. I know I would definitely love to continue Carlos and Sedona's story.

I really liked this book. It was not a normal alpha male meets his mate and they fall in love and live happily ever after. They were forced together by a kidnapping and it turned out they were fated mates. I can't wait to read more from this author and this series.

This is Book 3 in the Bad Boy Alphas series. Sedona wakes up in a cage in her wolf form. She’s been drugged and kidnapped. Then she was taken to a fortress on top of a mountain and locked into a cell. Then a man was locked in the cell with her. This doesn’t look good for her. This was a fantastic book. Two wolves stuck in a cell during the full moon. Yeah, the sex was hot. But there are things going on that give you some exciting action (and yes, I’m talking about more than just hot wolf sex). I really enjoyed reading this book and now I’m going back and getting the first 2 books in the series. This is a really good book. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book that I received from Netgalley

This book was just what I expected it to be from the title and blurb.
Heavy handed male dominance was extremely prevalent but not without express female characters enjoyment.

I found the writing very easy to read and enjoy.
When Carlos met Sedona the chemistry was palpable. Abducted, Kidnapped, Tied to a bed and locked in a room with a male Alpha is a f-ed up way to meet your soul mate but alas, it was romantic.
He fought the pull, she teased him until they both broke and gave in to their desires. Add to that the family coming to her rescue, the council hell bent of killing him and the impossible trauma between them that creates an erotic tale.
It’s my first book by this author and I had no idea what to expect. I am pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Seriously. The writing was creative and vivid. I couldn’t put it down.
You would think after the initial intense meeting the book would go down hill but Noooo it just get better. Every scene more intense than the last.

When things go south they really go south. Sedona is kidnapped while away on spring beak and taken to Mexico where she is to be given to the newly returned alpha Carlos. However Carlos isn't quite aware of exactly what is gone wrong in his pack. Being locked in a cell of his own home with a naked female shifter on the full moon wasn't quite on the agenda.

this one was quite interesting from the get go. Sedona is trying to be more independent from her over bearing alpha father and brother but by doing so lands her in trouble and mated to another alpha overbearing male. However this one sees her and appreciates her for her.

Carlos is smart he knows that what was done to them is going to make life harder. However chasing his mate and proving his worth and trying to be the alpha of his pack is going to be a challenge like he has never faced before.

really enjoyed it!!!!

I'm not sure really how I feel about this story. The story feels rushed a bit to me. There's insta love aspects in this but since it's werewolves so it works in this story. But we have a basic captive story here just throw werewolves into the mix which gives you more alpha and animal aspects to it. Carlos and Sedona are thrown together by unfortunate events that definitely rear there ugly head again soon enough. This didn't keep my attention very well. I wasn't hugely impressed honestly.

I did not like the plot at all. I have read shifter books from various authors, and who in their right minds decides to force an alpha to do anything? Carlos is the alpha of his pack and his council lock him up in a room and force him to mate. This is the 3rd book in the series and I have not read the other books so maybe the other books are better but I did not enjoy this one. I am Mexican American and why did the kidnappers have to be Mexican?

Carlos and Sedona's attraction to each other is immediate and hot enough to burn down an entire Forrest. While the sex was absolutely mouth watering and steamy, the back story behind Carlos's pack was interesting as well. We get to see Carlos man up and become a true alpha and show his pack and Sedona's family why no one messes with his woman. This was a fun and steamy read that I whole heartedly recommend.

Keeps getting better. I thought Alpha's Danger was my favorite but this one is even better. With each book the characters individual personalities are defined more so you experience the human wants and not just the wolf drive. Although Sedona and Carlos mating is forced there's an undeniable chemistry between the two. It's total sexiness accompanied by a firm hand.

After reading Alpha’s Temptation I couldn’t resist Alpha’s Prize of course. But where Alpha’s Temptation is a lot more funny and easy going, this part has more dark edges around the story.

We start the story with Sedona, being kidnapped and locked up in a room. Naked, that is. And then Carlo is also being trapped inside the same room. So, the same melt-your-panties-while-reading stuff as the other Alpha’s book (and the Zandian Master’s series of Renee), but with less banter and humor.

In fact: after Carlo has marked Sedona in the heat of the moment, he releases her to her family. And while Sedona is recovering at home from the shock of being pregnant, Carlo faces a lot of difficulties with the Elders, who basically have take over his pack during his study in the last few years.

Who can Carlo trust and who tries to take over his pack? Can he convince his packmembers that he is back for good and will lead them as a true Alpha? Or will they side with the Elders?

And will Sedona come back to Carlo? Or will she hate him forever for marking her? Find out in this hot and steamy shapeshifter story.

Three out of five stars from me and I’ll be keeping an eye out for new stories in the Bad Boy Alpha’s Series. With a thank you to Netgalley for providing the ARC.

Alpha's Prize by Renee Rose and Lee Savino is book Three in the "Bad Boy Alphas" series. This is the story of Sedona and Carlos. I haven't yet read the previous book so I thought this was easily a standalone book.
Carlos is the head Alpha of his pack where there are few full female wolves. Most of the time with they mate with a human the children are unable to turn. So his pack has been after him to take a mate and to produce children. Which he has done yet and they have taken it upon themselves to find someone for him.
Sedona is the daughter of Pack Alpha and went away with her human friends to vacations. There she is kidnapped and brought to Carol's pack. Carlo's doesn't know what his pack has done until they have him go down to the dungeon to see something and trick him into being locked up with her.
Although Carlos tries to resist her wolf pull he finds it impossible and so does she. But that only starts their story.

This was a good, enjoyable shifter themed romance. I didn't realise until after I had finished this book that it was the third book in a series. It can easily be read as a standalone. As I haven't read the previous two books, I would like to now read them plus future books from the series (I'd like to know what happens next).

Exciting addition to the series

Renee Rose and Lee Savino have another winner in this the 3rd book in the Bad Boy Alphas series.
Carlos and Sedona were an interesting couple. Literally thrown together against their will and fighting instinctive reactions it was fascinating to see their relationship grow from lust to love.
I received an advance reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.
