Brandon is Alpha and in charge of Grace Hill, few humans are allowed their but all who live in Grace Hill know to keep the secret of the paranormal world. When Brandon finally scents his mate he is shocked that she is human but immediately stakes his claim. Elle has lived in Grace Hill since she was sixteen and loves it but doesn't like how the werewolf males treat the human woman, so she can't believe it when the alpha Brandon bites her one day while she's working at the dinner. Elle never thought her life could change more now that she will be claimed as Brandon's mate, but she can't help but feel that something is missing and that Brandon still thinks she isn't good enough for him.Brandon always thought his mate would be strong and a werewolf now he can only think of keeping his frail human mate safe, and with all of the paranormal descending on Grace Hill Brandon makes the decision to keep Elle hidden and tell the others that his ex is his mate. When Elle finally decides to let her guard down and let Brandon claim her Elle thinks she may finally be happy till she finds out what Brandon has done. Brandon could never have guessed that his decision to keep Elle safe would cause Elle so much pain but it has and when the other paranormal creature find out Brandon's problems will just be getting started. Now Brandon will have to convince Elle of his love and everyone else that he is still the right alpha for his pack, and if thats not enough Brandon and Elle will both learn that Elle may be more important to Brandon and the pack than anyone could have ever guessed.I love Sam Crescent I love her books and her characters, and this book was no exception. Brandon was possessive and demanding and an all around Neanderthal. Elle wasn't a push over and knew she was worth love and respect, I also loved the side characters they were great additions to this book that I'm now invested in and want hea's for them all. With that all said I wish Brandon would have been put through the wringer more for what he did to Elle, I felt her pain and the packs pain and yes he pays for it I just would have liked him to have suffered more and for longer than he did. The same goes for Brandon's ex, I hated her and she gets it in the end but I wanted more to have happened to her(yeah I admit it I'm one of those girls who is out for blood when the h is wronger).This was still a really really good book, and Sam didn't let me down. I've come to expect greatness from Sam Crescent and I love knowing she's an author I can turn to time and again for a great quick read. I can't wait to see where this story/series goes. I'm loving that Sam Crescent is branching out into new romance genres, and I'm finding that I love these books as much if not more than her typical erotic romance books. This is a great addition to PR genre and I highly recommend it for anyone who love Sam Crescent or who loves their hero's to be possessive and in control.
