This book was entertaining.  I enjoyed reading it but was disappointed with the abrupt ending.SPOILERSAva and Landon met, generated some fabulous heat and set the stage for overcoming the problem of Ava being the "runt of the litter".  Other minor characters are introduced that reinforce the lack of standing she has with the pride and put in place some politics that may need to be faced by Ava and/or Ava and Landon.But then they're solved by a simple declaration by Landon that she's his mate - huh???  Ava didn't really have to confront anyone, no one really offered an objection, yet all of the previous treatment of Ava would indicate that there should have been some of these problems to deal with.The author completely skipped the dealing with the issue to get to the happy ever after and just gave us the HEA leaving the issues supposedly solved but in my mind undealt with.The book had great potential, had the author stuck with the basic format of a romance novel and had our couple face and deal with their issues it would have been reached.  Instead it was an entertaining read but fell short leaving you wandering what happened.
