Quick short read, but the narration style didn’t really work for me. I didn’t really like the pack. Not that we got to know any of them, but what we did know didn’t do them any favours. After the way they treated her as a child they didn’t deserve her. I also didn’t really like the two main characters. It was read as a trial and I’m not going to continue with the series ...more
The idea of this one was good, and the blurb made it sound right up my alley, but unfortunately it didn’t live up to it, and I found myself 2.25 stars
The idea of this one was good, and the blurb made it sound right up my alley, but unfortunately it didn’t live up to it, and I found myself bored and skimming through. The guys weren’t that much of alphas and there wasn’t really a lot of action. I am interested in Si and Howie’s story but I’m not going to pursue it at this time....more

Rant ahead
I’ve wanted to re-read this series for a fair while, but this book has been what’s been stopping me. I just knew it was going to irritate me. A GR friend recommended I skip it and start with book 2 but my series OCD won’t allow it, so I put on my big girl panties and started it. Amazingly it didn’t irritate me as badly as anticipated, maybe I’m getting softer as I get older or maybe I was just better prepared. It’s still not great but my iPad survived the experience
My irritation with this one falls mainly on Gwen’s shoulders. She has to be the most stupidly annoying female lead of any of KA books. I spent previous reads trying to control the urge to throw my kindle/iPad across the room in frustration. Only thing stopping me is not wanting to break my precious!
This is a woman who goes to a bar/restaurant. Sees a guy she thinks is hot and while getting drunk tries every manoeuvre to get his attention. When he gets up to leave, never once even acknowledging her, she is disappointed and then feels a hand on her back and his fantastic pickup line is “are you coming or what?” That’s it. No hello, Hi I’m Cabe, saw you sitting here etc. nope just are you coming and she does (head hits the wall), takes him back to her house – and still doesn’t know his name! He leaves in the morning and then reappears a couple of days later in her bedroom waking her up for round 2. And this went on for a year and a half
Even Hawk knows it “Gwen, you took one look at me, decided I was the one, I said four words to you and you took me to your goddamned house and your goddamned bed and didn’t say word f——-’ one when I kept comin’
Take from this female who lives on her own, him turning up in the middle of the night and basically breaking into her house to wake her up for sex - this is not romantic – it’s downright creepy. And the fact that she lets him keep coming back – the stupidity of this woman astounds me. Then we get the gem later in the book, that after the third time and him investigating her, he stops using protection. She doesn’t even know his name, or anything about him, but allows him to use no protection. I can’t even - at this point I’m just gobsmacked.
Then when they are getting along Hawk goes and irritates me. His actions during the book are explained away that he waited till he actually had a conversation with her and made his move to make her his, but it really looks like others took an interest in his woman and he decided to finally stake a claim.
Now I actually don’t have a problem with how he acted at the start, she allowed him to treat her like that. That’s all on her. I have a problem with his actions later in the book.
He breaks up with her after working hard to get her to lower her barriers and then is affronted that she is holding a grudge when he finally tells her about his past the next day after deciding he may have made a mistake and actually wants her back. So she shuts down and gives him attitude and she’s the one in the wrong, from every side even her girlfriends. And she is the one who ends up apologising to him. I don’t get it. I’ve read this book numerous times and I still don’t get it.
Now that’s over I can move on and read the one. ...more
