The Alpha’s Mate by author Olivia Black starts of the Silver Bullet series. I have mixed feelings about this book.  Gideon is alpha of his pack and owner of a BDSM club called Silver Bullet.  He is a nice guy, not overly alpha.  I liked his kindness, and his caring for his pack and his little brother.  He didn’t seem overly dominate to me.  I think that though is what Josh, a human who enters Silver Bullet to see what it is all about really needs though.  Josh is very accepting of everything, I liked that not much conflict there.  What little conflict there is, is easily solved making this a very light easy read.  This is where my mixed feelings come in.  I loved the concepts.  BDSM, werewolves and mixing in mates, but the concept of mates is really driven home.  A tad too much, we perhaps needed another word for it in places.  I would rather feel the connection than just be told they are mates.  However the sex and love is there.  So I really think perhaps my mixed feelings come from this being a first book in the series. Sometimes a first book starts off a bit rocky and then the flow comes with the second one. So I am looking forward to reading what comes next.  This book does a great job of setting things up for us making me want more.  I say pick this book up it is a different look at shifters and love that I think readers would really enjoy seeing.
