I liked the price (99 cents at the time) and thought I'd give this novella a try. I love wolf-shifter romances, and what I really enjoyed about this one is that the hero is an Alpha but is also sweet and kind. I do like them macho, where they have a lot of growl and bite to them, but this guy is capable without being arrogant, tough without being cocky. He's easy-going, which can be odd for an alpha, but when he's protecting what's his, people soon back down. Jackson Wilder is just the right combination of sexy, sweet and manly.Also, I liked this heroine, Alice. The story is told in first-person from her POV, and she comes across as a little snarky, a bit unsure, and tired from some blows life has recently dealt her. She has doubts that Jackson can take on the problems facing her young, small pack of wolves. She's the Alpha female, and Jackson is just the soft but firm touch she needs in her life now. The secondary characters are great, too, really adding to the story, such as Dan and Holly, and adorable baby Eddie cracked me up! There were a few cute/funny moments in the story, as well as some tension/danger concerning the pack, and a bit of sweet smexing for good measure. It's a shorter PNR read, but nicely rounded out and very enjoyable to read. Part of a series but can be read on its own, which I did.(1760 kindle locations)
