I received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
4.5 stars. I took away half of a point for that cliffhanger. *internally cries*
SIDE NOTE: Minor hints that could potentially be considered spoilers so be mindful before reading..
Overall, the story was strong. Great characters, the plot was fun though I personally found it a bit predictable in certain areas, though I wasn't expecting what happened at the end (her submission) Pacing was nice and not too fast or bogged down. Everything had a purpose and I didn't find any plot holes or confusion so overall it was a great read.
I LOVED BAILEY! Seriously, strong female *alpha* werewolf is what I never knew I needed in a story like this. She has to hide her true self and throughout the book struggles with it. I really can't wait to see how she flourishes as the story continues in book two. I want to see her wolf take charge!!
Derrick was also great and super yummy! I did, sometimes, find him a bit overbearing in the sense that he felt like he had to assert his dominance over EVERYONE. I get that he is alpha and that's what an alpha does, but the second he is questioned even by his Beta, it's like he wants to rip off their head. I do get the reasoning behind this though so it really wasn't an issue for me.
Plot, I really liked the overall premise. The world building and such was pretty spot on two. I can't say that I found much I didn't like with this, so kudos to the authors!!
I definitely recommend this for any UF/PNR lovers. It was a quick and easy read and one that I thoroughly enjoyed and look forward to reading the next one. Let's just hope that one doesn't end in a horrific cliff hanger too because my heart cant take it!! LOL
