Kristen and Markus have to deal with an angry mob, who hates shifters. They manage to escape and find a new town to try to live in. Once there, they realize being on the run causes more problems than just avoiding the pack and Dorian. Kristen finds work, but Markus is not too happy with her new job despite the money it brings in.
Can Kristen get Markus to understand her new job is necessary for their survival or will Markus’ need to dominate cause problems for them? Will Kristen figure out why she is not feeling good lately?
I read the first two books and I thoroughly enjoyed them. This book picks up right where the last one left off and it is just as hot. Kristen is getting used to being a werewolf and as Markus mate. I enjoyed seeing Kristen trusting in Markus but also not letting him dictate to her about everything. It was nice to see her figuring out what kind of mate Markus needs.
Markus is still very much an alpha that wants to take care of his mate, but at the same time, he is willing to compromise with her. I liked seeing him try to work with her on what they should do whether return back to the pack or try to continue as just the two of them. But I have to admit seeing him show his Alpha side was very sweet to me. Kristen was correct in that Markus had to rein in his jealousy, but having a man go protective on you can be so sexy.
I would recommend this book to everyone! I would suggest getting the first two books if you haven’t read them yet before reading this one for the hotness factor alone!

I am giving this review for author Kate Kent. This is novella part 3 of Craving the Alpha series by the author.
Being trapped by a crazy mob Marcus and Kristen are able to run to the safety of another town. Running low on food and money Kristen finds a job first to help them out while Marcus is still looking. When things start going their way with having a place to live and jobs, but will it be enough.
There is action, drama and romance in this story that just makes the characters look like they are your next door neighbors. I love how the author does a smooth flowing story line in the book.
Because of sexual content this paranormal romance is for mature book readers. This story starts where part 2 leaves off so it is best to read the series from the start.

Craving the Alpha: Part Three is fantastic and I can't wait for Part 4. Part three is more about Markus and Kristen and their relationship. They have finally been able to get away from Dorian and those who want to hunt them down. Markus and Kristen have made it to Fredrickton. Markus feels they need to go back to Camp Vickers, because with out money or Jobs they can't survive, Kristen convinces Markus to stay in Fredrickton and manages to get a Job in a sleazy Pizza place. This puts Markus wolf to the test. Can Kristen reassure Markus that he is all she wants, will Markus become all alpha and destroy what he and Kristen have?
Kate has written a wonderful part three and has left us craving for more. Three has been left with a cliffhanger and by gosh who would have Guessed.

Doing what they have to, to survive including taking less than savory jobs for money. Markus might not be happy with Kristen's new job, but his Alpha male tendencies that come out to try and force her hand are not met with a mate that just gives in.
Kristen's fire and spark come out in full force I loved seeing her go up against her guy and come out on top. Watching as they go through one problem after another I enjoyed seeing how they worked together to figure things out. They are still facing problems, but they are together and that's what counts.
Great installment to this mini series can't wait for more.

Getting away and what to do next
This part of the series has some action as the two love birds flee for their lives. And then what to do next. Markus wants to go back to the pack but Kristen doesn't think that would be safe. On to their next adventure of trying to find work and money and a place to live in a city. Will they be able to do it? And at the end Kristen may end up with more than she bargained for. Well written and entertaining to read with a few hot loving scenes. I was given a free copy for an honest review.

Copy received in exchange for honest review.
Review on behalf of Wolfie's Fantasy Book Blog.
Part 3 takes of exactly where part two finished. Markus and Kristen are on the run again. They try to settle down and look for jobs.
This story is about them living together and coping with everyday stress. Again it is well written, interaction between characters is interesting and in places funny. This is a lovely quick read with hot and steamy scenes. We also get a nice surprise at the end. Can't wait to read Part 4.

Settle Down?
In this 3rd installment there is less drama and action than in the others. A lot of Passion and learning each other.
Marcus and Kristen finally stop running, but must find jobs and stay hidden from his brother Devon. Not having lived in human cities, will Marcus be able to cope with Kristen working and interacting with other men and will Kristen be able to put up with his Alpha ways.
There might be surprises in store in the next story and I can't wait to find out.

This is the third book in the Craving the Alpha series. It is a great story and continuation of the other books. The dynamic between Kristen and Marcus grows in this part, allowing us to see how real they can be. They have always had the strong feelings and desire, but in this book we see more emotions that help you relate to them. I can't wait for number 4, especially with the little cliff hanger at the end!!!

This installment was great with less drama than the other two so far. It allows for the relationship dynamic to be built. Also gives a cliffhanger ending that leaves you wanting to know what comes next.

Another great read. I love Bev and Todd and Dave. Excellent story line and each book gives a glimpse into the world they live in. Can't wait for the next book in this series. I loved the "show". Very hot!!

In this installment we see how Marcus and k are setting up a new life away from the pack. The ending line made me smile because I thought the same thing a couple of chapters ago. I am glad this was drama free and I hope the next parts will also be that way.

The book picks up right where the second one left off- lots of action. The steam between Kristen and Markus is too sizzling. I also saw a more playful side to the couple. Plus things seem to be looking up.

Book 3 picks up where book 2 ended. There are more twists and turns to the story. This book has more hot scenes in it so it is not for the faint of heart. Is part of kindle unlimited.

Markus and Kristen are playing the break free, escape and run game. After being trapped by the Mob, they were able to escape the Mob and run. Markus wants to go back to his camp with his family. But Kristen is afraid that they both will be chained up and punished. They were able to find a town where they can blend in without being noticed. Running low on funds and needing to find work to survive, Markus was not so happy with the job Kristen found as a waitress in a sleazy pizza place wearing a sleazy top to entertain the customers. With them living a little free, the both are learning each other – especially Markus on learning how to control his possessive wolf nature. The storyline is great of how much they show their love for one another.
Good short read! Can’t wait to find out some surprises in the next installment.
