Review: a good MC book without cheating, humiliation, and angst.  It's MC light!

I like alpha males and I like MC books.  However, I can't (or won't) read books when there is cheating (either by H or h), cliffhangers, domestic violence, humiliation and degradation, crazy angst, or when books are populated by people who are TSTL.  Unfortunately, this rules out most MC books because they're usually much too gritty (perhaps realistic, but I don't need that much realism in my romance novels), overpopulated by skanks, the H usually cheats, the h is usually a stupid doormat who is treated poorly, and there's some crazy dark themes that run through them.  If you don't like those elements in your books but you still love the concept of a MC and lurve alpha males like I do, then this is a good book for you to read.pros (spoilers may be contained):* no cheating!  (yay!)  This is one of those books where the H sees the h and it's over for him.  Finito!  Doesn't even look at another woman - he's all about the h.* no cliffhanger (double yay!)  I HATE cliffhanger books.  I'm soooo tired of trilogies that take years to come out and you're stuck with a cliffhanger that leaves you with a book hangover and sobbing because you have no resolution.* the h is pretty cool.  She's not TSTL; she's smart, resourceful, snarky, loyal and all around pretty likable.* the H.  I lurve him.cons:* some words are misspelled - the editing wasn't as tight as I'd like, but since I'm not a grammar and spelling nazi, it didn't detract from my enjoyment.  It may be distracting for those who go in a tizzy when it's "peaked" instead of "piqued" though.* the epilogue was a little short - the main story lines were all wrapped up, but I kind of miss those long far into the future epilogues a la KA (this book feels kind of like KA lite)Overall, this reminded me of a Kristen Ashley book.  It's in the first person, there are a lot of descriptions about clothing, there's a super smitten alpha man, and the h is in danger.  If you like KA books, you'll like this one.  This reminded me ofMotorcycle Man (The Dream Man Series)andUnder Locke- if you liked those two, you'll enjoy this.  It's predictable, but that's not a bad thing when you know what you like - a good romance, likable characters, good prevailing over evil, and a good HEA.  Overall, a fun and entertaining read.
