Laura's Ranking of all those wonderful Rich, Hot, Alpha-Male Series!!!

1. James Cavendish (In Flight Series) by R.K. Lilley – To me he is the most serious of the Doms, instead of a red room of pain James has an entire floor to torture young subs.  This series has some seriously hottttttttt scenes, one takes place while riding a horse! He’s rich, controlling, and a licensed body piercer and can’t get enough of Bianca and I can’t get enough of him! He’s probably my favorite because the writing is really good on top of the storyline being killer.  When James is upset you fear his rage just as much as Bianca does!
2. Gabriel Emerson (Gabriel’s Inferno Series) by Sylvain Reynard – Not only is Gabriel a professor who speaks several different languages he knows just how to seduce a woman.  He’s completely loaded, a recovering drug addict, and needs that special someone to heal is broken soul.  I love these books because they are smart, it’s not about the sex it’s about the seduction.  His devotion to Julia is mesmerizing and I just can’t get enough of him.
3. Christian Grey (50 Shades of Grey Series) by E.L. James – It all started with him and he will always have a special place in my heart.  He is rich, controlling, and 50 shades of fucked up! How can you not love a man who has introduced us to the wonderful world of BDSM and take you on the roller coaster ride that is his life.  He moves quickly when he knows what he wants and that just so happens to be the love of his life Anastasia Steele.  The writing style is what makes him number three instead of one, while the storyline is great and hello its Christian Grey but sometimes I feel like the writing was a little elementary compared to Sylvain Reynard and R.K. Lilley.
4. Ethan Blackstone (The Blackstone Affair Series) by Raine Miller – Not only is this hot guy aggressive he’s ex-marine and the head of the one the biggest security firms in England.  Not only can he buy you anything you want, you will never be in danger when he is around.  He’s is an excellent alpha male who can’t wait to start a family with his now beautiful wife Brynne Bennett.  He’s a man that appreciates art, as a well as a woman’s naked body and who wouldn’t love that in a man? I love that book one is from Brynne’s point of view and the second book goes to Ethan’s point of view it adds a twist to these alpha rich male books and makes me fall for Ethan Blackstone even more.
5. Damien Stark (Stark Trilogy Series) by J. Kenner – Who doesn’t love a rich hot man that is an athlete on top of being a total technology nerd?  Damien has so many elements to him; it’s hard to pick which one is the best.  He appreciates art so much he’s willing to pay a million dollars to not only get the art piece he wants but the woman as well.  He might not be a totally serious Dom when it comes to his relationship with Nikki Fairchild put when he is in the mood to tie her up and make her beg you know just how hot he can be.  I love that there is a murder trial set in all of this up and down romance; it adds a unique element to the plot that sets it apart from the other series.
6. Lucien Knight (The Knight Series) by Kitty French – He might seem a bit cold at first, but deep down he is a hot Scandinavian Viking who can be very very inventive when it comes to sex.  Not only is he hot, rich, and an alpha male he runs one of the most successful sex industries in the world.  He has found a way to make money on the one thing that all of these books have in common, sex! He can take you anywhere in the world and seduce you on every square inch of the earth.  What more could you ask for? This story line takes a twist because Sophie is a married woman when she meets Lucien which just adds to the emotional roller coast this series puts you through.
7. Jack Henry MacLachlan (Beauty Series) by Georgia Cates – If there was anyone who can make me want to travel down under its Jack Henry.   He is a hot reclusive man, who has worked out his strategy on how to bed women perfectly without getting too attached that is until he meets Laurelyn Prescott and falls madly in love with her.  He owns many vineyards, is close with his family and knows how to seduce a lady.  He not only gets what he wants, he’s willing to travel across the world and go on tour with Laurelyn just so they can be together.  SWOON! I like this series a lot because Laurelyn’s success is just as important as Jack Henry’s and he makes a lot of sacrifices in the second book just so he can be with her while she goes on tour.  Laurelyn isn’t whiney and she isn’t down on herself like some of the leading female characters she brings a lot to the table as far as talents go and knows exactly what she can offer in a relationship.
8. Braden Carmicheal (On Dublin Street Series) by Samantha Young—Braden is hot rich, Scottish and did I mention hot?  He randomly meets Jocelyn in the back of a cab and ever since then he is mesmerized by her.  He is rich and very powerful and is willing to seduce a lady in the back of bar to get what he wants.  Jocelyn tried to fight him off but when someone like Braden wants you, you just have no hope.  I love this series because of the background characters in this book, with both their friends and family there is a support system and background stories that really suck you into everyone’s lives not just Braden and Jocelyn’s.
9. Gideon Cross (Crossfire Series) by Sylvia Day – For a man that owns most of Manhattan he sure can make time for the love of his life Eva Trammell.  He can’t stop himself from trying to protect Eva, and there is nothing he won’t do for her, including murder.  He has a bad temper and his jealous streak can be pretty scary but that just adds to his hotness.  Gideon always needs to be in control and not just when it comes to his businesses he needs to be in control in bedroom too.  He’s a little farther down on the list then most might put him, but its only because some of the places him and Eva have sex are a tad inappropriate to me and don’t really add to the storyline.  Eva is a bit whiney to me after a while and it gets a little annoying by the end of book two and somewhat continues into book three but fades away.  I like that this series has now turned into a little bit of a mystery storyline now breaking away from the other alpha male series.
10. Gavin Blake (Collide Series) by Gail McHugh – Emily Cooper didn’t know what hit her when she first laid eyes on Gavin Blake while delivering food.  But Gavin saw what he wanted and immediately went in for the kill.  He’s rich, a notorious playboy, and will do anything to get Emily to dump that horrible boyfriend of hers and fall madly in love with him.  This series is unique because Emily is not only dating a total asshole, but she is in deep denial which almost breaks her completely.  It’s a little annoying towards the end of book one because after a while Emily starts to come off as stupid for not realizing that Dillon is cheating on her and Gavin hasn’t lied to her.  The whole denial things for me went one step too far because of the fact that it became annoying but other than that bring on Gavin Blake!!
11. Jesse Ward (This Man Series) by Jodi Ellen Malpas – Jesse Ward is crazy; there is no other way to explain his out of control temper, and his unreasonable jealous streak.  By the end of the series when you find exactly why he is the way he is you just fall in love with him even more.  As Lord of the Manor he’s learned a lot about sex that any woman would beg him to teach.  Although he’s gotten around a lot through his younger years, the minute he lays eyes on Ava there is no other woman that exists in his world.  He stomps into her life and won’t leave until her last name becomes Ward.  I put him farther down on the list because it really annoys me throughout the entire series how he can’t understand why Ava hates the Manor.  Then on top of that makes them have their wedding there.  What woman would want to get married in a place that makes her uncomfortable?? His ignorance in this situation annoys me and is inconsistent with his character because he’s so smart and observant in every other way so it takes away from the plot for me.
12. Anthony Rawlings (Consequences Series) by Althea Romig – Mr. Rawlings is the man you love to hate, and hate to love.  He is devious, conniving, can’t be trusted, and violent.  Yet by the end of book two he becomes your hero, the knight in shining armor for Claire Nichols.  The only thing Anthony Rawlings is concerned with is revenge, until his target becomes his love that is.  You want him to leave Claire alone in one book, but can’t wait for the scenes where he is included in the book two. His past is complicated and dark, and all the missing pieces of him as a man have finally started to come together…or so we think.   He’s last on my list because this series is really erotica like the other books but he’s on here because he is an alpha male.  This series has seriously left me with the worst book hangover of my life!  I can’t get him out of my head, and as much as I love you always have to remember he arranged for Claire’s loved ones to die and can be extremely violent.
