Taming the Alpha
Caitlin Spring wants nothing more than to become a doctor, but as she completes her junior year of pre-med and prepares for an intensive summer of studying, her grandfather’s unexpected death turns all her well laid plans to dust. She’s devastated over the loss and shocked to find that he’s left her his life’s work—ownership of the Spring Wildlife Sanctuary.
When Caitlin treks to the wide expanse of the Montana sanctuary, she’s forced to confront the domineering ways of her childhood crush, the alpha werewolf her grandfather left in charge, Jake Stone. As an eight-year-old who’d lost her parents in a tragic accident, Jake had seemed like a knight in shining armor, ready to slay her nightmares.
Fourteen years later, he’s grown into a devil-be-damned, sexy as hell dream. But, although the years may have turned his princely looks into matured ruggedness, he’s become deeply protective of the sanctuary and suspicious of any outsider interference, including Caitlin.
Now, as the sanctuary debt mounts, Caitlin must make the difficult decision to uphold her grandfather’s legacy and breakthrough the walls Jake’s erected around his lone wolf heart or let it all go to follow her life’s dream of medicine—alone.

Thank you to Netgalley and ThunderMark for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
1 🌟
Caitlin was 8 years old when she became an orphan, forcing her grandfather to take her in. Jake is a werewolf her grandfather also took in is 10 years older than her. She cares for him deeply and when she admits her feelings to him and he rejects her she flees the Sanctuary. 5 years later she gets a call from a hospital in Montana, something has happened to her grandpa and she has to go back home. When she returns to the sanctuary, she discovers financial trouble and she's the sole inheritor who has been tasked with selling off the property or fixing the damage and saving her grandather's legacy.
I didn't feel connected with the characters, with the plot or the story. I was bored, this felt like Wattpad.
I'm probably going to catch hate for this but whatever. There are times where you can tell it's an indie author (by the lack of experience/poor writing) and then there are times where you can't tell and it's AMAZING. I could tell this was an indie author and that was disappointing. Not that I could write any better.
The other biggest issue was that it kept bouncing back and forth between past and present and you just couldn't tell where you were in the story.
That's all I have to say on the matter. I always finish books but this would should've been a DNF. This will probably put me back into a reading slump, that's how much I hated this book.
