Review: Fun characters but plot/romance could have more depth.

The story starts off really well when Dex, an Omega is rescued by a potential Alpha. We understand Dex is a stray wolf on the run with another wolf and a pregnant witch. Then the plot skipped over some important developments and the next scene shows the pack, now consisting of the 3 friends and the potential Alpha, managing their own little bar business. Nothing said on each character's background or how the 3 friends managed to convince the cool Alpha to join them. I guess for the writer this is foremost a MM romance. So understandably the rest of the story focuses on Dex finding his mate. Regrettably the mate is not the Alpha of their small pack but Maddock a latent shape shifter, who did not realize he is a wolf. The romance is as usual predictable. It could have more conflicts as Maddock wanted so much to be rich and successful human even to the point of putting up with a apparently cold woman. Unfortunately it is all resolved rather easily as who could resist the pull of the human/wolf lust for his sole soul mate. And the sex scenes are just too darn long and wordy, even as the writer injects a bit of BDSM in it, apparently to spice it up. But I do like the characters of Dex and the secondary ones of the Alpha and one blind and intriguing Beta. Did not like Maddock much and I guess this has to do with the romance development where this character seems to be all over the place and rather insincere. But definitely getting the sequel (if there is one) as I would love to read more about the Alpha and his blind Beta.
