4 starsThis was a very good story. I liked Becca and her men, Griffin, Linc and Jacob. This story takes place in the same world as the books from Kelly's series, Keeping Her and a few of the shifters from that series do show up in this story (Logan and Cleo). There are also indications that the 3rd book in the Keeping Her series will take place on the island from this story. I can't wait! :DBecca is on the island resort of “A Bene Placito" (which means At One's Pleasure) to take part in the wedding of a college friend. I liked Becca and enjoyed her character as she's sweet but also smart and spunky. Becca feels out of place at the wedding, mostly because the guests are a bunch of snobs who look down on her because she's not rich. She's also treated badly by most of the other women because she's curvy and not as glamorous as they are. After this treatment she just wants to get through the weekend and go home. She certainly wasn't expecting to meet 3 gorgeous men that all seem to want her, and they're not fighting over her...they want to share!Griffin, Linc and Jacob are all wolf shifters. While trying to do the right thing, Griffin got thrown out of his original pack, taking Linc and Jacob with him when he formed his own pack. They're all 3 Alpha wolves but Jacob and Linc accept Griffin's rule and act as his enforcers. They own the island resort and now have a small pack that lives there and helps them run the island. They are all rather surprised to meet Becca and find themselves pulled to her.Becca's at a sex shop at the resort getting items for the bachelorette party when she meets Jacob. Things go from 0-60 and they have sex on the floor of the store before she even gets his name. Afterward she's kind of freaked at what happened as she has only had one lover in her past and never sleeps with men she doesn't know. The situation isn't helped by the fact that just as her and Jacob finish, Griffin and Linc show up and seem to be just as attracted to Becca as Jacob was. Griffin carts her off to their home on the other side of the island and explains things to her. Namely that she has a shifter in her family history, and that blood is strong enough that she has a wolf (that's now been woken up by the start of the mating bond) but it's latent so she can't actually shift forms. It's also explained to her that she's a rare Alpha female which means she'll call more than one mate, in this case all 3 of the Alphas in the pack, Griffin, Linc and Jacob. Becca has mixed feelings about this because part of her is drawn to the men and feels safe and at home with them and the other part just wants to leave the craziness that her life seems to be turning in to and go back home ASAP. When Griffin pushes his suit, her wolf responds and they end up getting hot and heavy. Becca is unwilling to submit to Griffin as Alpha though and fights his dominance so the sex has a definite dominant flavor to it as Griffin pushes her to accept him as her mate and Alpha. Linc gets his time with Becca as well and she ends up bonded to the 3 of them while still being unsure where the hell her life is heading and if she wants to go there.Becca only gets 2 days to work on things with the guys when bad news comes in the form of Linc's father being dead. They all go to Montana for the funeral but since it's with Griffin's old pack, they're not exactly welcome and there's a definite chance of danger while there. They bring in Lionsgate security for the trip which brings in Logan and Cleo (from the Keeping Her series) as added protection. Things are rough from the start and just get worse. In the end there are multiple attacks as the villain in the story (with the help of some hired rogue shifters) tries to kidnap Becca as well as kill Griffin, Linc and Jacob. Cleo and Becca both are taken but Cleo kicks some butt and gets them free, then both women have to kick some butt to come out in one piece. The men also have a lot of things to deal with as they're attacked multiple times while trying to find the women to save them. The issues get worked out in the end and Becca admits she's fallen for her men and stops fighting the need to be with them (even if it upends her entire life). They all go back to the island to start their HEA together.I really liked this story. I loved Becca (Kelly writes such great heroines) and Griffin, Linc and Jacob are pretty cool as well. I really enjoyed the story (it's a sexy and sweet read) and it was engaging enough that I didn't want to stop reading until I was done. I will note there were a few editing mistakes but it doesn't ruin the story, it's just enough to notice here and there. I would be glad to see this turn in to a series but will at least be happy that it seems like Keeping Her #3 will take place on the island so maybe we'll see more of this foursome. I'd recommend this book. Thumbs up! :D
