Medieval alpha werewolf hero, plus sized heroine, arranged marriage goodness.
I just love Alice’s heroes. They’re jealous, possessive, and so surly. It’s like my perfect trifecta in a book boyfriend.

If you’ve read Alice Coldbreath’s books then you will be familiar with her formula, just add werewolves to the mix.
The werewolf aspect seemed to manifest mostly as the hero growling and longing for the heroine to be his mate. Jorah and Isolde were a sweet couple. I liked Isolde’s gumption and the way Jorah softened around her.
I wish there was a tad more tension to this story to up the stakes.
Overall, an enjoyable dose of a story from an author I have enjoyed from the very first read.

4.5/5🌶️, audible plus, medieval paranormal, curvy and plain but competent virginal human FMC, grumpy and possessive wolf MMC, found family, fixing up a broken castle and traditionally minded wolf pack, very spicy.
I think this was one of Alice’s earlier works. It has all the hallmarks of her writing: grumpy, an alphahole MMC who falls HARD and an intelligent and capable but looked over FMC. It was fun to read a paranormal set in medieval times too. The sexy scenes were frequent. My only complaint was I wanted more. I almost wish Alice had turned this into a trilogy, maybe about the MMC’s brothers. But hey, I listened to this in a day and enjoyed it.
