I love geek heroes, and this guy was so geek and in so many funny ways. I do love my alpha heroes for sure, but it was very enjoyable to read this reversal where it's the heroine who's tougher than the hero is, the heroine who's alpha and claiming a mate, as usually, it's the male shifter scenting his mate, swooping in and then claiming her with some rough sex and urgency. It was really sexy and fun to read this story with Dewi as the alpha taking a human male as a mate. And Ken is so not what she thought her mate would be, but the nose does not lie and Ken is the man for her wolf.For Ken to end up the claimed mate of a Prime Alpha female was too funny and cute. Poor Ken, he didn't know what hit him. We're talking computer science professor here, wire-rimmed glasses and all, not very sexually experienced, not quite skinny but still lean and not ripped, not very assertive or macho and certainly no real match for a wolf-shifter of Dewi's caliber. And did I mention that he's a vegetarian? He even blushes or 'reddens,' and he has been known to faint a time or two, or even emit a girlie scream. He's also not into guns or fighting, and that's two things his new and unexpected mate does extremely well.Dewi is the Head Enforcer for the pack, and that means she kicks azz and keeps everyone in line. Not only Alpha, she's a Prime and tough, and that means people fear her. You have a problem; Dewi fixes that problem, one way or another. I loved how tough she was, how sexy but still very in-charge, just a totally bad-azz woman. But for all that, there is pain and tragedy in Dewi's past. What I really liked about this story was that Dewi was more than what she seemed; she's also caring, protective and lovable. And Ken was also more than what he seemed, way more than just a geek. The guy's got heart and major love for Dewi. Yes, it's fast, it's mating heat and mate-bonding, but I was believing it and loving the action.Ken really comes into his own, having suffered his own share of pain. There are a couple of scenes where we get to see Ken be the macho-geek and that was fun and made me want to say, hell yeah! Kick some azz, Ken! Both characters have past issues, both really want to love and to be loved and to have someone who is only for them and them alone. Really very sweet and sexy. Some nice, super hot scenes, all laced with real love and feeling. Even with the sadder back-stories, my main feeling when finishing this story was happiness, and that I also wanted more with these characters and this pack. (Would absolutely love a story about Beck finding his fated mate.)Bleacke's Geek (Bleacke Shifters)was just the fun, sexy, kick-azz read that I wanted and hoped it would be. It put a smile on my face, and I love that sweet geek hero who, with a some love and support, really comes into his own and becomes true-love hero material.
