Beta Undone

Lone Wolves #2

by Tielle St. Clare

Is it his fault the Alpha Mate can't take a joke?

After pissing off the Alpha’s mate, Kia gets sent on a crap job—check on Madge, the crazy werewolf living near Pack lands. Kia has no love for the nutty wolf who makes silver bullets designed to kill other werewolves. He’d just as soon see the bastard gone.

Until he meets him. The half-crazy wolf is sexy and shy and Kia wants nothing more than to fall into an adult puppy pile with the guy.

Madge just wants to be left alone. If the kids from the local Pack would stop harassing him, he’d be perfect, except he’s pretty sure the silver he works with every day is slowly killing him. The one thing he doesn’t need is a gorgeous Beta wolf stalking his property under the guise of helping him. And maybe finding out the truth.

About the author

Tielle (pronounced "teal") St. Clare has had life-long love of romance novels. She began reading romances in the 7th grade when she discovered Victoria Holt novels and began writing romances at the age of 16 (during Trigonometry, if the truth be told). During her senior year in high school, the class dressed up as what they would be in twenty years-Tielle dressed as a romance writer.

When not writing romances, Tielle has worked in public relations and video production for the past 20 years. Tielle moved to Alaska when she was seven years old in 1972 when her father was transferred with the military.

Tielle believes romances should be hot and sexy with a great story and fun characters.

Loved this more than the first. There could have been so much more though, but it was good.

This is incomplete to me. The whole mystery behind staying out of the woods is weak. And Kia's inability to shift after a 3 day recovery of silver poisoning and the feeling of his wolf behind an invisible wall makes it feel like it's a lot more complicated than a result of silver..

I like their personas and the plot, but the editing is a bit lacking. And when I come across the same page twice (Smashwords version), I'm a bit disappointed. That said, I still enjoy the series so much that I will probably read the next two books.

Kia, who we met in book one, is sent to look after the crazy Madge – another lone wolf on Pack Lands. Madge intrigues Kia, though he is prickly as a porcupine.

Madge is scared of something and hiding for fear of his life. When Kia comes in and upsets the little order he has, he becomes even more paranoid.

There are real threats against Madge (for some reason) and Kia takes it upon himself to intervene. He realizes that his wolf is fascinated with Madge and vice versa.

In the end Kia must mate with Madge to save him (again a little Deus ex Machina) but it’s a very sweet HEA.

I wish there had been more explanation of Madge’s predicament and more interaction with them as a couple, but as a short story it was fun and enjoyable.

Great follow-up to our meeting of the intriguing Madge in the first book. There were many great touches in the book--the hot sex and sexual tension, the humorous bickering between Kai and Craigh, the suspense of recognition of the mate bond, and the dangerous suspense of the attacks against Madge. I love storylines where one party just can't accept that *this* one is their mate. The book's drawback for me was feeling left with numerous questions. I wish that the ending weren't so abrupt and we got more answers. I can't say more without spoilers but there were things introduced or hinted at that weren't resolved. Not sure if they will be answered later on in the series. Still, though, a good book that makes me look forward to the next in the series.
Rating 3.5 rounded up

This is a good story. I wish it would have been longer to get a little more into Kia and Madge. There was some questions unanswered. Hopefully if there is a book 3 maybe they will show up there and the questions can be answered. There was definitely violence is this book. There was sexual content in this story. The characters are developing but I don't feel they are done.

A. it is better than the first
B. has the same problem as the first, the sex is not that interesting and kinda drags on for too long.
