3.75 out of 5 starsThis was a short, but very spicy novella set in the late 1930's. Yes, it's a historical paranormal, something you don't see very much of lately. So for fans of this genre, Alice's Alpha will be right on target for you!We meet our heroine, Alice, as she's trekking down a mountain a male friend. He dashes off in a hurry, without explanation, leaving her to find her way down alone. As she's starting to feel like she'll never make it to her car again, she stumbles across a cabin and our hero Jed. Jed actually smells her coming before she even gets close to the cabin. He realizes that she is his mate and sets out to seduce her into staying. Of course it's not that easy and they fall into issues along the way.I did really like the character of Alice, which is probably what makes me crave a longer book for them. She isn't the typical female of that time period. She has a job that is traditionally a male job for that time, she's also athletic, and is not afraid to speak her mind and back it up with her actions.As this is a short story, the romance develops very quickly. In some ways too quickly. It was a satisfying read with an HEA, however, the insta-love doesn't leave a lot of relationship development. I think if there had been just a little bit more added, especially with the whole menage aspect it would have made this story more complete. As it was it did leave me hanging in a few spots. The ending IS satisfying though, and they do have a HEA, which makes it quick, light read. Perfect for this time of year.I'd recommend this book for those that like their romance steamy, of course paranormal, and a little bit historical. ~ Reviewed by Chris
