Where I Belong (Alpha Men, 5)
An Alpha Man and BBW, Steamy Sweet Romance

Kim
I fell for Rich in a picture. He is in my brother’s army unit and twelve years older than me. Although I dreamed about him all the time, I never imagined that we would ever meet… and he would live up to my fantasy.


Rich
My army brother asked me to check in on his sister. I told him I would and then he gave me her picture. I fell for her just by looking at her, and I knew the minute I saw her, I was where I belong.


Note: This is a steamy, sweet, SHORT romance. It has a HEA with alpha male and a plus-size woman that makes him hers! If you love short romances with insta love, hot love scenes, and a sweet story, then this one is for you.

“Are you sure, honey? We can wait. I don’t want you to doubt me or us. Once you give yourself to me, that is it. I’m yours and you are mine.”

I love this Alpha Men series by Hope Ford. I rarely get a miss from these stories. You could tell that these two were soulmates. They both were pulled to one another through a photo and didn't even know it. The moment Rich saw his photo on her bedside table totally melted my heart. This is one of my favorite books of the series. Check out my highlights for more excerpts from this book.

Homecoming

Rich has fallen for Kim from a picture and when he meets her HE is not disappointed. This book gives you lots of sexy and sweet insta love and a hot soldier too.

Where I belong is book five in the alpha men series. Although this book is book five, it is the first book of the series that I have read. This book is also the first book of Hope Ford’s that I have read. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline easy to read. This story is short, fast paced and a nice read. Kim and Rich both fell in love as soon as they saw each other’s picture. Rich’s best friend asked him to check in on his little sister. As soon as he saw a photo of Kim, Rich knows she is the one for him.
Kim has been in love with Rich since her brother sent her a photo of his team. When Rich turns up at her home, the last things she expects is for sparks to fly.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and a nice read.

I can't keep writing these reviews because I'm sounding like a broken record at this point.

It's too short for character development. Kim gives herself to Rich way too fast, even knowing full well that he's a player. Jase should've had more of a reaction, like a violent kind to finding out his friend who is 12 years older than his sister took her virginity, especially knowing he's the love em and leave em type. It could've been a lot better and I really didn't feel invested with these characters at all.

Short and sweet

Hope Ford has delivered a short and sweet tail about love at first sight that has a protective side. Imagine seeing a picture and knowing that they were the one and then freaking out when you meet them but being unable to deny the attraction. The brothers friend who comes home to check on you because he can’t. Like I said short and sweet.

Cute story

I love AR novellas, and someone recommended Ford. I hated her story Brave, but decided to give.This one a chance. It was a really cute story. Not as OTT or smutty as AR, but sweet. I do think these stories are just way too short. 40 pages is too small for my liking. I think I would have enjoyed it more if it was even 80 pages.

Pictures

Chaos aka rich is asked to check on jase sister. She's young and beautiful and he fell in love via a picture. Kim got her brothers unit picture and was instantly drawn to Chaos. Now he's here and wow she's never been more attracted. Could a love through pictures work? The only part I didn't like was the age difference.

Perfect title. When the writer knows what they are talking about, an honest review is simple. The writing pulls at your heart...makes you want to fight for love, and will make you not want to put the book down!!! I cant get enough of the characters. The emotion that you can feel through each page. Love that makes your heart want to...re-read...over & over. This is an easy enjoyable read !

Best friend's younger sister romance!

Rich was asked to check up on Jase's little sister, Kim, while he was in leave. The instant Rich saw Kim's picture he knew she would be his. He just had to get her on board!!! Great read and I highly recommend it!

Love Through Pictures

Rich knew with that first picture his friend gave him he was looking at his forever gal. He just hopes she feels the same and that he can show her brother, his friend he's serious.

Short Read

This is another short read. It is a steamy read with the older alpha man and the younger curvy woman. It does hold your attention and you get the happily ever after. Looking forward to reading more books from this author

Belong

Yep. This is a good one. A swoon worthy hero and a sweet little heroine! Hope takes the brothers best friend trope and packs it into a short book without missing any of the real good stuff. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

Good read

This was okay/good. Age difference was a little shocker especially since she just kind of turned 18 and he was thirty something. I sometimes feel like a hypocrite because I got married at 18 but my husband was only 21 not a big age difference. Chaos found his HEA.

Rich and Kim

It was an ok read.
Rich is doing his friend a favor and go check on his baby sister. When he sees her picture he is dumbfounded, love struck. Little does he knows Kim has fallen for him the same way .

Rich is sent by Jase to check on his sister, whilst he is on leave. And they both get more than they hoped for. Love insta-love and alpha, protective men that fall hard and fast!
Another great read by this author.

Falls short

It had alot of potential to be great. However it was rushed and most of the book is them having sex. I was very disappointed in this read.

Delightfully unexpected

Love at first...picture!? Known to happen at a glance but this way was just as precious. A HEA with the "knowing" is priceless. Sweet, cute, adorable.

Cute story

Though I feel like the convo with the brother should have went down a different way. Seems like most of hope’s heroines need rescuing of some sort that’s kind of irksome

Loved it but too short...

This author reminds me of Alexa Riley which I love. If only the story was longer, this author would be one of my new favorites.
