MF - contemporary romance- white MCs - erotic romance - pov first single - billionaire - class gap - forced proximity - he falls first - secret identity - 3 stars
I first read this book ages ago and was in the mood for something smutty. I finished it. I don’t think I’ll be continuing the series.
The book fills this niche that is hunky billionaire with a huge dick and kidnapping/coercion/Stockholm syndrome.
Also…I’m a sailor. He takes her out on a romantic day sail from Manhattan. Nothing about that sail was realistic at all. They anchored in the ocean with Long Island way in the distance and no one else around. There are major shipping channels all over the place and if there was enough wind to sail, it would have been bumpy AF to anchor so far away from land.

I was not sure what to expect going in to this one. I have a weakness for the Alpha male, that is for sure! It was different than any other I have read, and I must say, that it kept my attention. It didn't take long, and I was sucked in. I just learned this morning that the next will be BETA. I CAN NOT FRIGGIN' WAIT!! I NEED THIS NOW!! XOXOXO
GO READ THIS NOW!!
GO READ THIS NOW!!

Thank you to the Goodreads First Reads giveaways program for the signed copy of Jasinda Wilder’s erotic novel, Alpha.
After seeing the blurb for this story, I just had to read it. The concept is original, intriguing and full of erotic promise. And though the plot veered pretty far out there in terms of believability, I devoured the first 75% of the book.
Kyrie’s desperate financial situation fueled her willingness to blindly (haha) enter the Manhattan home and, eventually, the bed of her mysterious billionaire benefactor. The sexual tension between Kyrie and mystery man was palpable and exciting; I couldn’t wait for the moment Kyrie first saw her man (hello, Alexander Skarsgard look-a-like), and then later, allowed him to cede some of his power over her.
I don’t want to give too much away in terms of plot, but I predicted the obvious twist early on in the story, so when it was eventually revealed, it was a minor occurrence. Some readers may find the many (many, many) sex scenes to be too frequent, too naughty or simply too repetitive. For me, the sheer quantity of sexual acts numbed any sense of the emotional, loving connection that was supposedly developing between the characters. Overall, Alpha was a quick, initially-enjoyable read about two insatiable blondes whose pasts have aligned them and whose bodies betray their desires for control, and for each other.

The beginning of this book is probably one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.
