It was missing one vital ingredient...

I think it's pretty widely known that I like my Alpha males to be very ALPHA in a growly, possessive, bossy and controlling way. Unfortunately, the one thing I really, really and truly love about shifter romances is the possessive Alpha, and in this one, he's not particularly possessive. Well, not in the way I have grown to love.

I'm all for authors having their own takes and bringing something new to the table but unfortunately, it doesn't work for all readers. The Seven series brings us Alpha's who can have multiple women sharing their beds and it's not uncommon for the women to be referred to as b-i-t-c-h-e-s. Yes, yes, I KNOW that shouldn't be a problem considering what they are, but come on, what woman is going to like being called that. Again, I know that our hero didn't like other men referring to the heroine as that, but we still have to witness others doing it.

Anyways, this story was good, kept my attention from start to finish and brought a new breed of shifters to the fore. The narration was OK, but it drove me a little batty that the narrator took the acting side a little too seriously. There's this one scene where the heroine screams at the hero...and I just about jumped out of my skin. It was a wee bit too real. Oh, and she does a little girls voice for one of the characters and it grated on my nerves a bit.

Glad I gave this one a go and I would definitely consider going back for more.
