Fat Mate (The Alpha Shifter Collection, #8)

by Sam Crescent

[Eve1972]

Ok so I am leaving my gifs for this one because the title and cover are still god awful, but I read this one earlier and enjoyed it quite a bit. The hero was just about perfect. The heroine was sweet. Although I do wish she would have grown a bit more backbone concerning her pack a little earlier than she did. No OW/OM drama. No angst. Some hot sex scenes and a sweet epilogue.

That said, the author seemed a bit confused on how she wanted to portray the pack. We are told (repeatedly even by the heroine herself) how everyone LOVES the heroine. How everyone respects the heroine...blah blah blah. But in the same breath, we hear about how no one wants to mate her. How they call her the "fat mate." How they make fun of her. I was left scratching my head because that sure doesn't sound like a nice group of people to me. In fact, the only one that seemed genuine (apart from the heroine's family) was the bitchy pack good time girl who owned her attitude and behavior.

In any case, this author can be very hit or miss with me, and this one was definitely on the hit side of the fence.
