The Beta Rises
BOOK TWO in THE WOOF PACK TRILOGY
Christian Romantic Suspense
Iyana found a way to survive in the ruthless NYC gang, the Woof Pack. She set aside her grief, her pain, and her fears—but she didn’t realize she’d traded her heart for all this. Vito Gerardo may not be the cruel man she thought he was at first, but she certainly didn’t think he was husband material. So when he drops to one knee, Iyana’s jaw drops with him.
Even though Vito’s changed, he’s still the King of BT. That means marrying him would make Iyana the Queen… While that might be a dream come true for some women, to Iyana, it seems like an unbearable burden.
Does she have what it takes to stand side by side with the Alpha? What will she have to sacrifice to call herself the Beta?
Living with mobsters, fighting a gang war, and desperately resisting the charm of a mafia boss—Iyana finds a way to keep her wits by drawing closer to God. He is her only hope in this dark and twisted world. She misses the days when things were simple; when her only prayer was a chance to escape. Now, there’s a storm swirling around her and if she isn’t careful, she won’t have to pray for an escape. She’ll be praying to survive the night.

Part 2
There is a lot to unpack in this episode. Vito (Cortez) and Iyana continue to grow closer while their enemies circle. Brandon is more out of control and the story ends on another cliffhanger. I loved Vito and Iyana’s relationship and look forward to their conclusion.

Incredible writing with depth
This sequel exceeded my expectations! I had no idea this storyline would go the places it’s gone based on book 1. A. Bean is easily becoming one of my favorite writers. She writes multi-faceted characters with amazing depth to them. They’re extremely layered and she exposes their vulnerability through her writing. She weaves in themes of faith beautifully in a way that’s not fluffy or just thrown out there but it flows with the storytelling. I’m just obsessed with her writing, especially after reading Singlehood.
This trilogy is a must-read! She leaves you on cliffhangers.

ALGUIEN ME PUEDE DECIR QUE FINAL ES ESE???
BRO, ODIO A TODOS. PORQUE HACEN ESO???
AAAAAAAAH odio todo. Me estoy replanteando si es que quiero leer el tercero libro, porque TENGO MIEDO QUE LUEGO ME DEJEN TODO A LA MITAD. Dense una idea que desde el libro 1, ESTOY ESPERANDO QUE HAGAN ALGO CONTRA BRANDON Y JEWELS PERO SOLO HAY MÁS PROBLEMAS QUE RESOLUCIÓN DE CONFLICTO🧍🏽♀️.

loved this book
I hope Brandon is able to somehow be redeemed even if he doesn’t feel he deserves it. I hope Ana and Cortez have a happy marriage after all this.
