Alma Venus Shifter Brides #4
Taming the Alpha
A Dark Wolf-Shifter Romance
Shy, sexy Claudia is one of the last shifter-brides left at the Alma Venus Boarding School who have yet to be bought and claimed by a shape-shifter. Raised and educated to become the wife of a bear-shifter, she is painfully aware that the latest political changes are affecting the peace treaty between humans and shifters, and the way in which shifters choose their brides. She’s afraid no Alpha will ever want her, and if she isn’t married by the time she turns 25, she doesn’t know what she’ll do with her life.
Karl Blackmane has never wanted a mate. After what happened during the War of the Six Factions, he isn’t ready to love and protect a human. He might never be. But his sister-in-law, Avelyn, insists he should claim her best friend, Claudia, because she is perfect for him. As a favor to Avelyn, Karl makes Claudia his bride. What he doesn’t expect is to fall madly in love with her. But she is so innocent and fragile, and he has done so many terrible things… He can’t let her in, can’t let her see who he really is.
Karl keeps pushing Claudia away, Claudia only wants to heal her Alpha’s wounds… Will he find the courage to tell her the truth? Will she be strong enough to forgive him?
Author’s Note: Taming the Alpha is a full, standalone novel with no cliffhangers. However, it is a sequel to Sold to the Alpha, The Hidden Alpha, and Claimed by the Dragons. Reading these three books first will help you understand the characters and their backgrounds better.

Claudia is the last of her room-mates standing! The others have found their mates and are even having children. She has been trained as a bear-shifters bride but her match may be just what she never dreamt of. She is placid and tame and doesn't think much of her own attributes but she may be just what this alpha needs!
Karl Blackmane learned of Claudia from Avelyn, his sister in law. She may be just what his unruly beast needs to calm down. He has always been fearful his other half would get away from him and he would destroy his love. But is keeping Claudia arms length the way to do it. He will only touch Claudia when she's tied up and blindfolded cos he's not just ugly on the inside, he has external scars too. Will Claudia continue to want him when she finds out the truth he has been trying to redeem himself from?
Claudia is just the balm that Karl needs! He's so fearful of letting his beast loose and Claudia is obviously the centre and anchor he needs. Wonderfully written and enjoyable story!

I enjoyed this book because it has one of my favourite tropes, which is an arranged marriage where the hero is fucked up because of the person he was in the past then upon a moment when he realises he will lose her he confesses his guts out to her and tells her everything, very specific. It's the good kind of cliché for me. Because it is a sequel to a series the world is the same so we don't get much development on the world building but I enjoyed reading the characters.
it is more of romance than paranormal romance because it focuses on the romance only.
I specifically loved the text messages exchanged between Matt and Karl about Claudia. I turned into absolute mush.

TAMING THE ALPHA-HEART-MELTING & SIZZLING PASSIONATE ROMANCE
This story focuses on; KARL BLACKMANE a well built strikingly handsome powerful Alpha to the Dark Wolves; CLAUDIA a sexy, sweet-tempered, intelligent gracious beauty.
What you'll find in this story; a cast of remarkably impressive and engaging characters, spectacular storyline, picturesque and dynamic scene descriptions, phenomenal banter, camaraderie, family love, gut-wrenching moments, gripping suspense, earth shattering heart-pounding sensual romance, and a heart-melting conclusion leaving you wanting more.
Claudia at twenty-two is still an unclaimed bride and is having somewhat of an alone pity party wondering why she has not been chosen. To appease his sister-in-law Karl has gone to the Alma Venus Boarding School for shifter-brides to meet her best friend. Meeting Claudia brings out burning desires he thought died years ago. Karl has ghastly memories that plague him daily from the War of the Six Factions {a war between humans and shifters}. Karl takes Claudia as his bride and brings her back to London. Claudia’s fondness for Karl escalates, but his cold non-communicative demeanor unleashes her alpha-like temper hoping she can break the invisible chains that hold him captive in the past.
WOW/SPECTACULAR-fast paced well written memorable shifter read by a truly gifted author. The heart-rending emotions in this story are mixed with a bit reality and fantasy. The author shows with meaningful dialogue that communication and letting go of the past is extremely important in a loving relationship. The cast of characters are certainly praise-worthy and spring to life with the intriguing plot, lively humor, and breathtaking vivid scene descriptions. Claudia indeed was Karl’s match, and their romance is filled with fiery passion and undying devotion. I so love when a story touches your heart; relished this story a most gratifying read. If you treasure shifter romance this is a must-have book for your library. {I was gifted a copy of this book and this is my honest review}. In the world of fantasy romance, the possibilities are endless and always fascinating. Without reservations. I recommend this book.

Claudia is the last room mate still at the Alma Venus Boarding School. Her three room mates have all been bought by shifters, and are happily married. She is depressed because she is now 22, and if she is not bought by age 25, she will be turned out into the world to fend for herself. She has been trained to be a bear shifter's wife, but Kark Blackmane, a wolf shifter, comes to the school to buy her on the suggestion of his sister-in-law (and also Claudia's friend). Karl immediately feels an intense attraction for Claudia, but he is reserved and aloof. Claudia agrees to marry him, as she has given up on a bear shifter wanting her. What Claudia doesn't know is that Karl is a tortured soul, and has scars figuratively and emotionally, from choices he made many, many, years ago. He has never dealt with his past. Claudia falls in love with Karl, but she is hurt and confused. One minute Karl is all over her, the next he keeps his distance, and he won't let her touch him. Claudia must use her love, gentleness, forgiveness, and strength of character to break down Karl's walls and get him to open up to her. I loved Claudia's character. She was a gentle, calm, laid back woman, but she fought for her marriage. Matt, Karl's beta was funny, goofy, and quite the character. There is a story there as to why he is so different from the typical beta. I hope there is a book about him in the future.

I really enjoyed this book, even though it's 4th in the series you can read it as stand alone. But you will get spoilers about previous characters, which is fine for me as I read so much I will forget.
The story was short and sweet, I read it over my daily commute. The plot was well written and kept me intrigued, the characters were fun and sexy with some drama. Claudia will need to get to the bottom of Karl Blackmane's issues of why he doesn't want to be seen or touched while naked. Why he is afraid to share his feelings with her. You'll start to care and wonder yourself as you read the story. Will they end up mating and spending their lives together and will they get their HEA?

This brings the main girls from Alma Venus to their happy endings. Claudia has been chosen and it is a perfect match. Karl gets his happy ending as well.

This book felt like an after thought. I felt like the author just wanted to tie up lose ends and threw the last two people in the serie together.

Just alright...
This installation of the Alma Venus series has its ups and downs. It had sexy, exciting scenes, but it also had parts that made me go, "Whaaaat...?" When the hero is being a jerk, I like to see him grovel. Karl Blackmane is not my favorite character in this universe, but a lot more groveling may have redeemed him in my eyes. I do feel like the author was going in that direction, but Claudia was too quick to forgive him in my opinion. Both their characters could've been developed more in this sense; it could've shown Claudia's strength as both a woman and the Alpha's mate and equal, and Karl could've proven himself worthy of her love. Overall, it's a lovely read, but the turning point happened too fast, and the H&h's claims that they fell in love with each other at first meeting was just not believable.

Claudia's book is the last in the Alma Venus Shifter Brides series and it makes me sad. She was meant for a bear but ends up with a wolf that she needs to be strong for as he has a very dark past that he feels he still needs to atone for after 200 years. I recommend this series to anyone who loves strong, resourceful, determined women. Each book can be read alone but to understand the entire back plot. they should be read in order

Great Series
This is one of my favorite paranormal romance series. The last of the friends finally gets her mate. He has a lot of secrets that makes it difficult for them to really bond. She might be the quiet one of the group but she is not afraid to stand up for what is important to her. Her love helps him heal. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend the whole series.

Born to mate
Claudia finally meets her best friend brother in law knowing that this maybe her last chance of being mated. Karl has a very dark past he can't get over. Together they find that they are truly made for each other. This story was well told. Cara Wilde did a fine job.⚘⚘⚘

Healing her Alpha mate
Claudia is starting to doubt that anyone will choose and buy her to be their shifter mate. Karl Blackman's doesn't think that he deserves a mate but as soon as he sees Claudia he realises she is what he needs. Readers should enjoy this book which I would thoroughly recommend. Can these two discover each other and become perfect together.

Good read
Claudia doesn't seem to have the confidence of the other girls, but she is definitely getting her way or it will be no way. Great way to bring the wolf heel, the story could have been longer, this one felt like an I want to be done with this series so it was rushed.

Excellent Shifter Romance
This was a sweet and thoughtful book, the characters were lovable and made the story that much more enjoyable. The plot was steady and had an interesting premise, I found the school for shifter bride's to be an original concept and I will enjoy reading the rest of this series.
If you enjoy a sweet paranormal romance you will enjoy this book.

A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion.
Shy, sexy Claudia is one of the last shifter-brides left at the Alma Venus Boarding School who have yet to be bought and claimed by a shape-shifter. Raised and educated to become the wife of a bear-shifter, she is painfully aware that the latest political changes are affecting the peace treaty between humans and shifters, and the way in which shifters choose their brides. She’s afraid no Alpha will ever want her, and if she isn’t married by the time she turns 25, she doesn’t know what she’ll do with her life.
Karl Blackmane has never wanted a mate. After what happened during the War of the Six Factions, he isn’t ready to love and protect a human. He might never be. But his sister-in-law, Avelyn, insists he should claim her best friend, Claudia, because she is perfect for him. As a favor to Avelyn, Karl makes Claudia his bride. What he doesn’t expect is to fall madly in love with her. But she is so innocent and fragile, and he has done so many terrible things… He can’t let her in, can’t let her see who he really is.
Karl keeps pushing Claudia away, Claudia only wants to heal her Alpha’s wounds… Will he find the courage to tell her the truth? Will she be strong enough to forgive him?
Though this is a standalone i do not suggest reading it before you have read the previous books in the series so you can better understand the world and the characters and what is going on.
Once more Cara Wylde has outdone herself and has given us a fantastic book that i really couldn't put down.
A complex story with an emotional rollecoaster ride and sexy to down right panty melting hot hot hot moments this book is simply amazing and it completes the story of the 4 friends at Alma Venus Boarding School.

I was hoping after finishing her "Sold to the Alpha" & "The Hidden Alpha" series, then the 'Claimed by the Dragons' that Cara would continue on somehow & tell the stories of Avelyn's last friend from the Alma Venus Boarding School. So when I started reading this, you can imagine how happy I was when that's exactly where I found myself again. This time reading about Claudia FINALLY getting her mate....
I would highly advise you to read Cara's "Sold to the Alpha" then "The Hidden Alpha" & "Caimed by the Dragons" before you start to read 'Taming the Alpha' ... there are spoilers for the previous stories in this series. Cara has added as much detail in this as she has with Avelyn, Amelia & Delyse's story, you almost feel like it's you there & your not just reading it.
With only a few years till her 25th birthday, Claudia is starting to freak out that she will never be chosen for as a mate for an alpha, so when Karl Blackmane, Avelyn's brother in-law asks to see her, Claudia thinks it's to update her on how her friend is going. Karl Blackmane has decided to find a mate, having his sister in-law talk non-stop about her best friend Claudia, Karl finds himself wanting to meet the girl & sets up an interview at Alma Venus....
What a fast paced read, I loved finally being able to read Claudia's journey, as well as Karl's history... with a Blackmane being the love interest, there was bound to be some type of history. I really wish there was more to the series... please let there be more.

June 6, 2016Given to me for an honest review. This story can stand alone but it is the sequel to Sold to the Alpha, The Hidden Alpha, and Claimed by the Dragons. If you have read these, you will know the spoilers. If you haven't read all three, the spoilers will ruin some really good books. Claudia is all alone in a room designed for four and trying not to feel lonely. While in this school, she can't have contact with the outside world. Today, she has a visitor, but he can't be here for a bride because he hasn't looked at the catalogs and she hasn't been told so she could be her best during the interview. She finds out that Karl Blackmane was one of her friend's brother-in-law. It seems he decided that it was time to have a wife and his sister-in-law had mentioned Claudia. As their conversation continues, Claudia decides it is an interview. Karl's interview didn't go as planned, but he was still pleased with Claudia. When they reach home, things don't go well. Will Claudia be able to find the trouble and fix it?

Cara Wylde always deliver with a wonderful action pack story. Karl is Alpha of the Wolves and still has terrible memories that will pop up about the war. Karl does not know if he can get past these nightmare, but when Avelyn suggested that he claim a bride. Karl agree that he will marry Claudia from Alma Venus Barding school. Claudia is a quiet and shy girl, with all of her friends getting bought as bride she is all that is left. She wonders will see never find a husband in time before she must leave the school for good. Both Karl and Claudia have insecurity that they must face. Will they truly be able to move past things and make their marriage a good one? Highly recommend this book and the others if the series to have a full understanding of all the characters.

Avelyn was the first of the girls to be bought as a shifter bride. it set a lot in motion for a lot of people. but years have passed and things have settled down somewhat. now avelyn has been urging Karl, her brother-in-law, to go and check up on Claudia. she's raised and tought to be a bear-bride but Karl is a wolf, an alpha wolf. he knows very well what claudia is to him and he doesn't realy hesitate to buy her and bring her with him but then it all goes to shambles because Karl can't forget his own past and he doesn't want that kind of future for claudia.
what he didn't count on was the perseverance of the woman his wolf recognized as his true mate.
join us in this part as a few of the loose ends get tied up, how pasts are confronted and futures are build! lovely read and addition to this world created by Cara.
