Summary

Rise to Alpha

With Alpha blood coursing through his veins, charismatic wolf Jake Louvière can no longer deny his true nature. As his beast demands his rightful place within Acadian Wolves, he's forced to choose between killing his Alpha and leaving New Orleans forever. When a mysterious woman trespasses into the bayou, Jake is instinctively wary of the creature that is not wolf. Inexplicably drawn to her, he attempts to resist her magic as it weaves a seductive spell. As quickly as she appears, the dangerous beauty is kidnapped by a powerful New York vampire, and Jake swears retribution against an old adversary.

For centuries Kai Beckett concealed her true identity from those who would steal her ancient powers. Risking everything to save her sister, she searches for the Alpha who'd left San Diego to return to his Cajun roots. Jake, a mate worthy of her spirit, seeks to tame her wild nature, but she is not one to easily submit. As Kai surrenders to her attraction to the Alpha, she embraces her darkest fantasies.

From New Orleans to Southern California, Jake and Kai are surrounded by intrigue and danger. Learning to trust each other, they fight lethal enemies and the irresistible connection binding them together. As they spiral into an erotic adventure, will Jake acknowledge Kai as his mate? With a nefarious enemy seeking to capture her, will Jake rise to Alpha, saving both Kai and his pack?

great story but flawed

my biggest concern with this was the over use of the phrase "he/she lost his/her words". There are other ways of saying the same thing.
Otherwise, I loved it and look forward to the next

A gripping thrilling story.

Boring, derivative and repetitive

*graphic*

OK, this is the 8th book in the series, and now, every book is exactly the same.

The language used is repetitive, I lost count of the times their “orgasm slammed into him/her” or a character “lost their words”

The sex scenes are multiplying book by book, and yes, I don’t mind lots of sex, however when each scenario is *exactly* the same (always ending up with a finger or thumb up the butt (aka “puckered flesh” or “back hole”) it is very boring. Apparently the pinnacle of great sex is anal sex, and every male protagonist has an obsession with taking the female “in their tight ass” *yawn*

Every book ends up having the female protagonist being shared between two men, every book has the female “submitting” to the discipline of the male. For once it would be really nice if the female turned around and said “bog off, I’m not going to be your sub”

Specific to this book, the female is a complete wet dishcloth. She starts off being semi assertive, but quickly loses all strength of character, and considering the whole book takes place over 5 days, it’s a pretty quick degeneration.

I don’t think I’ll be continuing with this series.
