Review: Colin Too Alpha/Annoyng
Rating: 3 out of 5

I love KA's alpha heroes, and never thought she could write one who is too alpha.  But Colin is.  He's bossy and demanding, but there is a streak of meanness to him which ended up rubbing me the wrong way.  In fact, it is pointed out quite often that he is "ruthless."  This aspect of his personality is not well explained, since he has a great family and appears surrounded by people who care for him.  I felt like Sibyl forgave him his callousness way too often and too easily.  He certainly did not have to work for much with her, and maybe that is explained by the fact that he bought her for sex which set the tone for their relationship, but the imbalance between them was annoying.  And the straw that broke the camel's back was that he didn't pick out the engagement ring for Sibyl...he sent his secretary to find it for him!  Don't get me wrong - Kristen Ashley's mediocre is better than 90% of what else is out there, hence I am giving it 3-3 1/2 stars.  However, if I was going to recommend books from the Ghosts and Reincarnation series, I would definitely recommend Fairytale Come Alive and Lucky Stars above the others, and next Sommersgate House.
