Alpha was all over the place. It was a hot mess. I had so many problems with the editing and the story. I don't understand how she was married to a guy that cheated on her within a month of their marriage to her best friend. Then she finds a supposed "secret" wolf community but it's not that secret because she obviously found it without even trying. Then she decides to buy a house there and whatnot. I was confused for most of it but I of course kept reading on to see if it would get better or ya know.. stop being so confusing.

It didn't. However, since I hate myself so much I'm going to continue on within this series because I want to see if the next two books will be an improvement.

Wish me luck!

Horrible. Immature writing, story-telling, character-creating. Children's books are leagues better, with less words and PICTURES. This was more like a pre-teen's attempt at writing a 'sexy story', a REALLY BAD story that highlighted her inexperience and LACK OF IMAGINATION!
Horrendous waste of time.

This was a cozy shifter romance book. The characters had integrity and the story wasn't racy. It was a classic paranormal romance. I highly recommend!

DNF at 34%. This h is unbelievably stupid. It is literally not believable. Everyone except three people in this entire town of strangers treats her like shit on their shoes. But, what the hell, she's gonna buy a house and live there. She's looking for a fresh start where no one knows her name, and her story about her hubby sleeping with her BFF, a month after they were married. Sooooo she's gonna settle down in a town where everyone hates her and treats her like shit? Wtf? Why would any sane person do that? They wouldn't. There is no reasonable reason for her decision to stay there either. The H is kind of a douche bag. He has had zero positive qualities show up so far, and other than being vague and one dimensional I have no interest in him at all. I'm not willing to read any further.

Exciting

This is a very good story about a human who finds herself a small town with shifters. Laura is a very strong character as well as Jackson. Together they form a bond as the pack deal with the dangers of a human knowing about them.

Like the idea of a human accidentally finding a werewolf community that shouldn't be found but there were SO MANY blatant editing issues that it was distracting and annoying- e.g., "I was sat..." Instead of "I was sitting " or "I sat"; "leave" instead of "believe". This definitely needed another read through with a fresh pair of eyes.

As for romance, enough happened and enough time passed for the declarations of love to be somewhat believable. So that part of the story was good.

Okay

Started off really good but the romance was far too quick for my liking so when I had read 66% I gave up as nothing really had happened... It would have benefited from more descriptive writing and building on the characters roles and emotions. I love shifter books especially those with soul mates but this didnt feel like one of those books.

Ok

This one was ok. It’s a fast read. Some minor grammatical errors. I felt the chemistry with the characters were forced. It was missing something. It wasn’t bad. Definitely entertaining but was missing that something extra.

Different

The story was different, a human and wild shifter. Not bad at all, but the editing was and is terrible. It takes away from the storyline.

Ok

I liked the story, however there was so many spelling and grammar errors, it was difficult to finish. The MC was strong and likable and the story line was flowing.

umm... I understand that Laura was in a bad place... hell, if I found my best friend and new groom in bed together I would have blown up. Running away was probably the best idea at the time...

Running into a small town completely of wolf shifters sounds wonderful... I love books about shifters, and hotties are awesome... however, what turned me off is that he was "covered in tats" I am a visual reader... I image everything as I read. Personally, that did not do it for me. But I kept reading.

The story was not awful, just not really for me. I did finish the book in about 2 hours. There were times that I had to re-read a paragraph to figure out what had just happened. Time was sped up from "yesterday" to "a few weeks" went from "casual dating" to three dates in... just a little bit of scattered.

The main character is having a rough week. Essentially before the ink is dried on her marriage listen every she finds her husband sleep f with her maid of honor. So she leaves only to find her car breaking down in a small town in the middle of nowhere. Next came finding out the town's secret and dealing with arsonist and vandals oh and falling in love with a supernatural being. Our heroine is quite busy. Romantic not steamy. Worth the read if you like a good romance with a little something extra.

I feel bad giving this 2 stars because it had great potential. But I've given books that are better 3 stars recently. The main problem is the formatting and editing. There are few paragraph breaks as well as numerous incorrect or misspelled words throughout. Not enough to take away from the story, but it was noticeable. I would probably read more of these book tho...which is saying something. The premise was intriguing and I love paranormal romances that aren't erotic or overly sexual but still makes you feel the characters love and desire.

Rain and broken car

Laura is driving and her car stops. She is running because she found her husband in bed with her best friend. She has no choice but to walk. She sees lights ahead and enters a bar. The only nice person is the bartender who helps her and is making a phone call, when in walks the biggest and meanest man she has met. Hi as name is Jackson. This is where a great a nd interesting story begins So enjoyed this book. Pick it up, you will not be disappointed.

It was bad

Oh how I wished I hadn't spend time Reading this book. The writing was bad. Not a lot of typos, but constantly jumping in time not keep the story coherent. It was a very weak book - not gonna read anything from this author Again.

Fun

A lot of grammatical errors but fun. It was written as if the writer expected spell check to figure out what she was saying but didn't have more than one person read and correct its mistakes.

Fantastic book

I would read this book again. I couldn't wait for the next chapter. You can always tell the type of the book ,with the first chapter, if you want to keep going to the next chapter.
