Sooo for a book that was recommended on Reddit as a werewolf romance with more plot than smut….. it was exactly the opposite to the expectation. Not the worst though, it was entertaining as long as it lasted 🤷♀️

An alphahole with the best of intentions and a huge blind side learns some perspective.
This story has some good qualities working for it. As far as romances go, finding character development is rare. There's also character-driven slice-of-life action that contributes to some interesting worldbuilding. Both of those are enhanced by a cast of characters who have some depth.
However, it's difficult to start with an unlikable character and make them likeable by the end of the story. Whether or not this story does that is, of course, subjective to the reader. Working in its favor, the main characters do spend some time learning how to communicate with each other. Unfortunately the intrinsic motivation to do so was boiled down to "biology I have no control over makes me want this" -- it's not really an attractive reason.
The female main character's strong will is admirable. She does what she can to make the most of a bad situation.

It’s an equation Kennedy and I do over and over again. The packmates we love minus the packmates we hate. The rules that crush our spirits minus the fact that we belong even less in the human world, and their ways are even more intolerable.
But is this justification enough for the toxicity she's surrounded by daily?
All of these things make for interesting discussion points and keep the book interesting. The biggest negative weighing against the story is: there's no chemistry in the romance other than the biological imperative. It's a real shame as this is a romance novel.
