4.3 out of 5 stars 19 ratings
DORMANT DESIRES ALPHA PACK
Alpha Awakened, Omega Rising and Lumen are included in this bundle.
Free 6000 word Preview of Alpha Pack, Book 4: CAIN.

Don't miss this title on AUDIO at AUDIBLE. Narrated by the talented Joshua Story... Can you say sexy Scotsman? *wink*

In this compilation of three novella’s we first meet Jacob and Allison and travel through a harrowing year of revelations. Their fierce passions that bring them together in a torrid moment in time, and then the separation that almost kills them. They are reunited in Alaska and must now face uncharted territory as their dormant lycanthropic blood is awakened. They've been welcomed into a burgeoning family with similar genetics and as the next full moon approaches they prepare for dramatic, and life altering events to unfold.

There are myriad dangers to our pack, both out in the world and from their often silent inner wolves. Our heroes and heroines must learn to deal with their innate selves, their new demanding passions and desires, and the constant battle between their humanity and their wolves’ desires to be free.

This book is about the passionate affairs of unsuspecting individuals thrust upon each other and unable to fight the magnetic draw they feel. Time, distance and even mythological forces cannot keep them apart in this journey of mated love.

There is graphic, erotic, passionate sex depicted. Naughty language and situations portrayed. This title is rated for a mature, 18+ audience. This compilation is approximately a fourteen hour read.

*****DISCLAIMER: My stories are fun, sexy, erotic, naughty, comedic, highly inappropriate pieces of fiction. They are not masterpieces of literature. Often, vapid, vain, unbelievable, two-dimensional and fictional characters are portrayed.
As hard as I try, there will always be errors. I'm an Indie author and I try to put out the best product possible, but if you expect perfection in grammar and punctuation, this title is not for you. My stories are the most unique you will ever read, but there will always be easily found imperfection in everything I do.
If you find offense in politically incorrect dialog, terribly naughty language, and obscene situations, then again, this is not a read for you. No grammar Nazi’s, no prudes; no humans below the age of 18.
This is a work of fiction and the author is unapologetic about its tasteless content or the few errors you will certainly find.
None of the characters portrayed are remotely close to anyone in real life; living or dead. Werewolves, Demons, the world of the Fae, or immortal nymphomaniac aliens, DO NOT exist. Please have fun and enjoy. 

***************************************

Please note: On Sept. 14th, 2015, I managed to infuriate a group of Facebook "trolls" and in return they gang bullied my work by posting 1* ratings and malicious comments/reviews on all of my titles. This happened for the most part on Goodreads, but a few snuck in through the KU program because of the free option. I find this behavior reprehensible because it had nothing to do with my work. They never read a word I wrote. It was purely a personal attack. On Goodreads my reviews have remained low or nonexistent since this attack. The few that are on Amazon, are accurate star ratings/reviews, and are simply about the work contained.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Exceptional Paranormal Series
    Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Dormant Desires Alpha Pack is the amalgamated series of books 1-3 with a brief and exciting preview of the 4th book, Cain. This the first audible series I have had the pleasure of reading, and nothing beats the sexy Scottish voice of the amazing narrator Joshua Story. My kindle will never be the same!

    So my first choice for reading genre is not paranormal, but having said that, I loved this series and these wonderful characters. I liked that the characters didn't know what was happening to themselves but they were learning right along side the readers.

    Book 1 Alpha Awakened: The story line was original and honestly a breath of fresh air, to have an older heroine and one that was not looking to find love at all. The meeting in the airport and on the airplane were written so well, it felt like it was me sitting there instead of Allison. Jacob was overwhelming, good looking, and so alpha.

    Book 2: Omega Rising: This story just keeps gets better. Allison and Jacob have been accepted into the pack, which happens to be Matt's family, as the Omega female and the Alpha male. With their influence, other members begin to shift with a full moon. This all happens in the wilds of Alaska with Jacob's friends now working for the family and even Allison's Aunt and Jacob's Uncle James came to visit. This book 2,was so well done, The Narrator, Joshua Story's voice is perfect as the alpha Jacob and his voices for Sam and Allison and Matt became even better in this book. The writing is superb, Payne captures the characters emotions extremely well, from the frustrations of not knowing what was happening inside each character to the emotional pulls and non verbal communications between the main characters. The union between Allison and Jacob was worth the wait.

    The 3rd book Lumen, was mostly about a wolf that transforms to a human with a full moon. She keeps this shape and her mate Matt tries to teach her to speak, and to act like a human. Lumen is a beautiful woman who has no interest in hiding her body and she just wants to...you know... all the time. She has a filthy mouth as well.

    My only complaint with the audible books is I don't have the text in my hand to try to pick my favourite quotes. This is one of the parts of writing a review that I enjoy the most. I guess my favorite part in this story was when Samantha finally experiences the change to being a wolf, and she is running free and she disappears for a time to find herself and feel her power. I don't want to get into spoilers but I was happy to see this transformation as she had waited years, 120 years I believe, to take her full shape as a wolf.

    I am so excited for Cain, I hadn't finished the preview included in this book when the next book was released. I have purchased as a kindle file, so I will be thrilled to be able to include quotes in the next review.

    I love Payne Hawthorne's work and I am so grateful to have received this Audio book from the author for an honest review and have since purchased the kindle edition as well.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not your ordinary shifter book
    Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    When I first started this book, I had some issues. I had problems with dealing with the language of how the Scottish dialect was presented. I actually put the book down 4 or 5 times before I finally looked up the words (for example ken) so that I wasn't misinterpreting what was being said. For me it is not fun to read a book I have to keep looking up words to understand. I am saying this cause I want others to go into this book with eyes wide open and to give the book a chance. It really is a good series.

    The good thing about this series is how it isn't like any other series you will read. Yes it is paranormal. Yes it involves (lots) of sex. Yes there is romance. The difference is how all those things play out. Unlike how other paranormal books go along the same frame work on how to present certain shifters, this book offers a different prospective and a different presentation of the facts. Give the series. I am glad I finally looked past the first couple chapters to appreciate the uniqueness the book offers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A must read series
    Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    This series, 'Dormant Desires' completely took me by surprise. I loved the storyline and how in unfolded. The premise is quite unique and I truly enjoyed that it didn't follow the usual shifter order of things. The characters were great. Each one plays a part to the overall story that makes them integral to the pack, whether human or shifter. I'm glad I bought the book bundle due to the cliffhangers. Now I will wait in a somewhat patient manner for book four. A great series to add to your tbr list. Definitely recommended.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Needs Serious Editing and Research
    Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2015
    I read this on Kindle Unlimited and was extremely disappointed and had to force myself to finish this book. I took one star off due to serious editing issues. There were so many that it distracted me from the story and characters just trying to figure out what the author was trying to say. I'll let some errors pass, but there were just too many that any editor or beta reader would have picked up on. I took another star off because it didn't seem like the author really researched Scottish accents and there were times I was shouting at the book because the main character has slipped into a southern accent, not Scottish. Also, the main character in this series is named Jacob who is Scottish. Any research would tell you that any natural born Scottish person would not use an American English spelling of the name. Another star was deducted for two reasons: it seemed that the author was trying to "empress the readers with her vocabulary"; and because she misspelled one of her characters' names wrong. It seemed like she was writing with a dictionary or thesaurus next to her and was throwing in random words that sometimes wasn't what she meant to say. And the character "Matthew" or is it "Mathew" because she started with one spelling and switched to the other in the third book. Even when she was using the Mathew spelling, she abbreviated it to Matt, when it should be Mat with that spelling.

    The story was original and I will give the author credit for that as well as one character that made me laugh so hard, but even she didn't come into the picture until the third book. There is potential with this author and this series, but it does need serious editing and research on Scottish accents.

    THREE SEPERATE REVIEWS FOR THE BOOKS IN THIS PACK

    ALPHA AWAKENED
    When I orginally READ this book,Aug 2013, I wasn't much into writing reviews, and didn't write one for this book. I rated it 3 stars.

    NOW, since reviewing this book in AUDIO, I'm upgrading my rating to 4.5 and writing a full review.

    Allison meets Jacob on a plane trip to Scotland. the chances of them ever meeting were astronomical. But meet they did, and they were both thrown into a world that neither of them knew about.

    Such a different take on the werewolf theme, and I loved this! Allison and Jacob's meeting triggers something in them both, and they know nothing about it. Its all very scary, Allison slips into some sort of coma, and stays that way for much of the book. Jacob, however, changes, SHIFTS into something that legends are made of. The legends here, though, are true and Jacob discovers he is descended from a line of werewolves going back centuries. There is a prophecy, long ago forgotten. Said prophecy comes into play now, and its all change for those descendents.

    The single scene between Jacob and Allison is the plane ride, the rest of the book they are apart, and while it seemed odd while reading, its perfect for this book. What there is between the two of them, is hot off the charts, and very well written.

    Joshua Story narrates. His accent drove me nuts trying to place! Its very proper English, with no hint of a regional accent, and it made for delicious listening. He speaks clearly, with well defined character voices. His ability to convey the right amount of feeling, and emotion in his voice is a beautiful thing. I will certainly listen to more of his work.

    4.5 stars for the book, 5 for the narration.

    OMEGA RISING
    *originally read oct 2013, listened to, march 2015*

    Jacob has found Allison, in the wilds of Alaska. she has been learning about her Omega status and what that means to her and those around her. Jacob turns up, and together they experience their growing attraction and what needs to be done to complete their bonding. but the new moon is coming, and there are more questions than answers as to how this will affect not only Jacob and Allison, but those (both human and animal) around them.

    i enjoyed this one much more than the first. the time scale in this book is short, weeks only, compared to the months and months in the first, and it flows so much better (for me, anyway). i love the way that Allison greets her new status, and how she deals with it. Jacob is a proper Alpha male, but first and foremost he is human. he has to deal with not only his wolf's emotions, but his own. emotions from both humans are written well and you feel for them, you really do.

    i will be looking for the next one, because i feel love in the air for several characters, both human and animal.

    I also LISTENED to this in audio. I found that there was much I did not remember reading, and it made for like I was reading it as a new book! Thats not like me, I can usually rememebr much of a book, once I start reading it again, so it came as a great surprise to me, and it also put the book star rating up a notch!

    Joshua Story continues to narrate this series, and he excels here. His *reading* voice is smooth, really smooth! He has new characters, new accents and I loved it! Jacob does tend to be more Scottish in his speech here, but that does get explained in the tale.

    I have Lumen next to listen to, indeed, I started it already, and its gonna be another great instalment!

    4.5 stars for the story (up from my original 4) and 5 stars for the narration.

    LUMEN

    **AUDIO REVIEW**

    I was gifted a copy of this audio book, by the author, and I thank Ms Hawthorne for that.

    This is book 3 in this series, and you must, MUST read books one, Alpha Awakened, and book two Omega Rising first. You won't get the full picture, the full experience from this one if you don't.

    Also, I should say, I have not READ this one, just listened to it. I both read AND listened to books one and two.

    Imagine being a human, and shifting into a wolf for the first time? Matthew, the nurse who saved Allison while she was waiting for Jacob. Imagine, too, a wolf shifting into human form for the first time? Lumen, the omega golden wolf who stayed with Matt when he was injured. But Matt had some warning, he KNEW he might shift, along with his brothers, at that first full moon after Ally and Jacob reunite. Lumen, and the others, had no clue it might flip both ways.

    This is their story. Lumen is hilarious and extremely clever, wicked smart. As she learns how to be upright on two legs, she also tries to keep some wolf traits (the tail wagging did made me laugh!) Her speed at learing is astounding, and she learns speech very fast, swear words, especially. She learns how to make the pack laugh, and does so often. She is, after all, an Omega female, and it is her job to look after her pack, as Ally does.

    While predominately Matt and Lumen, we also get some Jacob and Allison, some Sam and Ian, some Samuel, and some Abigail. Jacob and Ally continue to develop their bond, and the bond of the whole pack. Sam and Ian have some problems, and Sam's wolf longs, so desperately longs to be free, and Ian must make a chioce. Samuel disappears for a couple of months but returns in spectacular style, fighting off a bear attack. And Abigail, she arrives from Germany after her parents locked her in a cage for 6 months after that first shift.

    The time line runs from the back of that first shift as a pack, to six months or so after. The pack is learning, developing, about what is it to be a proper pack, and how to behave as such.

    Joshua Story narrates again, superbly! How the man could keep a straight face while narrating some of Lumen antics, is beyond me. Cos he DID keep a straight face, or his amusement would come across in the narration, and while the amusement of the other pack members comes across, Joshua's personal amusement does not. When Irene teaches Lumen that new swear word, I was driving, and I had such a laughing fit! My daughter wanted to know what I was laughing at, but I couldn't tell her, she is only 13 after all, but also, I couldn't, just couldn't for laughing! I love how Joshua narrates Jacob's voice most of all. When Jacob's emotions get the better of him, he accents becomes thicker, broader, and Joshua pulls it off perfectly!

    Cain is next in this series, and I'll be READING that soon. Also I'll listen to it too, but I gotta wait longer for the audio, and I don't think I can wait that long.

    5 stars for the story, and 5 for the narration, ya ken??

    **same worded review will appear on Goodreads, Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and Audible.co.uk**
