I read this book a while back and honestly thought I wrote a review.  But since there is not one here, I guess I didn't.This is from memory.  And I remember it has the best first line in the history of romance books.  I won't spoil it for you, but it is definitely an attention grabber.  The opening line sets the tone for the book, and it sets the standard for the book.  It is funny, thought provoking, and beautifully written, succinct and to the point.  Dare one say this book is a bit madcap?  Yes, I dare say it.I loved the book.  If you are looking for a not-alpha "hero," here is a great one.  Our hero is Fletcher Owens.  See, even the name is as non-alpha as you can get.  Fletcher.  Fletch.  The Eff Man.  See, nothing that gives off alpha at all.  Fletcher.  Nope.  No alpha ever named Fletcher.  Our boy Fletcher works at a used car lot, something no alpha ever has done.Anyway, I digress.  This is a short book, novella.  But it has a whole story.  One does not feel cheated after finishing this book.As often happens, Fletcher is in love with his best friend's sister, Lexie.  Fletcher, as often happens in the world of romance, doesn't want to affect his relationship with either his BFF or Lexie by making a move on Lexie.Fletcher has a secret, a  secret other than he loves Lexie.  That secret is just what he does after he gets mysterious calls.  Lexie is intrigued, perplexed.  She plays "what if he is a superhero" games with her brother, trying to figure out just what Fletcher is doing.The story unfolds very well.  The various machinations and situations make sense and flow with the story.  It is written with humor and insight.  As a novella, I don't want to give away too much of the story, too much of the fun.  Things happen quickly, but they work.By the time the story is over, well, let's just say you may decide that the name Fletcher is a fine name for a fine young man, alpha, beta, or gamma.
