Love Potion For the Alpha by Alice Coldbreath

peytonm's review against another edition

What a fun listening experience! Loved this. Isolde, a woman on the verge of spinsterhood, douses herself in a love potion to win over Jorah, a visiting medieval lord on the way back from battle. He chooses her over her gorgeous sister, and she worries the love potion was the only reason. Little does she know he's wildly attracted to her and oh, by the way, from a werewolf pack and he's marrying her so he doesn't have to permanently mate with someone.

Basically, he's an idiot but she's wonderfully competent and wins everyone else over until he gives in to reason. He eventually came to his senses and I enjoyed their relationship.

I do love a Alice Coldbreath story. I am not sure why but this story was good enough to keep me engaged enough to forget (momentarily) the anger I had towards hubby after a good old door-slamming total-silence-for-hours fight. It actually defused me, so yeah, I enjoyed it.

Spoilers:
Sure there were inconsistencies, like yes lots of horseback riding after virginal sex, but hey- its a story. And yes, he husband was a sexist dog (literally) but he came around with a beautiful apology. I took that apology and applied it to me personally so points for that.

Issy had lots of spunk, I liked how she was able to hold her tongue about issues that bothered her (again- just a story) and was able to win over all the other characters.

Its easier to read if you view it like a fairy tale, one with gay werewolves- surprise! No, not all just 2, but it was a twist for sure.

This book was wild. I’ve read some smutty books, and this one was up there. The grovel at the end was top notch

I really enjoyed the humour in this book. Loved the story, the characters, the sex was hot af, loved it. I also really like that Jorah’s inner wolf is actually more emotionally connected and mature than him. I liked that he would fuck up but then listen to his wolf instincts and work to earn Issy’s respect.
The only thing I guess that annoyed me was that after he’d make progress he would then once again let his pride override his wolf and treat Issy like shit again. I also didn’t like that he only came back because of what Cedric did. I would have liked him to really earn it.
But appart from that I loved every second of the story.

Each of the main characters were two very lovable halves of a whole idiot. Loved it, 10/10 would recommend
