Review: Better than A is for Alpha - hard to believe I know!
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 04 28, 2014
I won an early release copy of this book and couldn’t wait to read it. So first things first:1) This is not just a retelling of A is for Alpha Male from Danny’s perspective. While there are some of the same scenes from his side, there is a whole lot more. We get to learn a lot more about Danny and what he was thinking in regards to Haley.2) This can totally be read as a Stand Alone. You do not have to have read A is for Alpha to enjoy this book. (Although I totally suggest you do because Haley is a riot. And while she’s in this book too you get a lot more of her antics in that book because Danny wasn’t always with her.So now onto this book – Is it wrong that I loved this more than Haley’s POV? I mean how Ms. Curtis was able to write a book from a male POV and have me believing it was really a man. I mean we all know how men think, but none of our women thoughts snuck in there. AMAZING!!!! I give all authors credit when they can successfully write from the opposite sexes point of view (cause let’s face it, lots try and fail miserably) So kudos to her on a job well done.Likes: A true contemporary romance - Although both characters have the inclination they are right for each other, there is the buildup to get them together. There is lots of fun and even more setbacks. I hate that I LOVE you immediately and then there is nothing but sex for the whole book. And this has an added twist because both characters fight it.Danny’s frankness with everyone and that includes the reader.I love that she didn’t change the basics of the story. She followed the timeline to a T – which allows the reader to see what Danny was going through or thinking.It’s just an easy read… Ms. Curtis writes in a way that is smooth, easy to read and get lost in.Dislikes: To be honest, at this exact moment I really can’t think of any. Okay so MAYBE I would have liked to have seen more of the time Danny and Haley spent alone, or a little more of his interaction with Hunter. BUT that not being there does not take away from the book it just would have been a little extra.All in all this is a solid 4.5 Star review (Sorry I am super stingy with my 5 stars) And I never leave quotes because I think it takes away from the experience of reading the book for the first time. But I loved this one so I have to include it…. “If you can’t be a procrastinator when you grow up, you really can’t be anything like everyone says you can” Cause I am a lifelong procrastinator.And I will leave you with this… My honest to goodness hope that Ms. Curtis has every intention of bringing us Wade’s story? Would love to see him find love, and with that we would get the added bonus of a little more Danny and some of Haley’s craziness. Please Laurel?
