I truly love this author.  As a BBW myself, it is so fantastic to read books about a heroine who is bigger than a size 2, and not fresh out of high school.  With the average size in America for women being a size 14, it is totally refreshing to have a heroine who I can relate too.  Not only that, but I also find it refreshing that Ms. St. Clair gives us actual books, not short stories that are 15 pages long.  (My pet peeve).  So thank you so much for that.  On to the book...I truly enjoyed The Alpha Claims a Mate.  As soon as it downloaded I read it in one sitting...did I mention that it is WAY past my bedtime!  The heroine, Ginger,  was perfection.  She was funny and witty and sassy and smart.  I also liked that she was truly female alpha material.  Not in the sense of being able to kick butt, although I am sure she can do that too, but that she was able to problem solve, and seemed to truly care about those suffering within the pack.  The h's BFF was great!  Loved her!  The hero was awesome, and while I did really like him, I almost felt that I didn't get to know him enough to completely fall in love with him.  It was a really fun book.  I enjoy a book with humor and this author delivers, her little quirks of humor sprinkled throughout just tickled me.  I won't spoil it, but there is an older woman who gets her hair done twice weekly, and the name of the hair salon was just great!  While I did love this book and all the characters (both main and secondary), I am giving it a four instead of a five for only one reason.  I just wish that it would have been a little longer.  I would have liked to hear more about the council antagonist, and just a bit more about the hero so that I could have tipped into "in love" status with him.  Overall it was a wonderful book, and I would buy it again if I accidentally deleted it.  Which I have done before.  Georgette is a wonderful author and is one of my automatic buys.P.S.  I was truly happy that she tied up some loose ends with a particular secondary character that I wanted to hug. :)
