okay, so this book may not be for everyone because on the surface it looks very much like the alpha's mate has very little choice in their mating. but if you give it a chance and continue reading you will see that neither really has a choice. This is all very instinct versus logic. How often are you subject to your emotions rather than your reasoning? It is a similar thing but on a deeper biological level. When does love become an obsession? when is it biology and when is it feelings? In truth, neither Peter nor Leigh have a choice in their bonding because fate chose them for one another and biology ensured they couldn't stay away. Peter works hard to fight his alpha instincts as Leigh works hard to fight the desire in her to submit. They reach a good compromise and have a fairly well-balanced relationship, despite it taking fighting their instincts every step of the way. All in all enjoyable. Though I have to say I hate the whole if you want a Peter POV to go online and download. I hate downloadable content. When I read a story I want it all right there. Not all but one chapter I have to go online and sign up for. It's more likely to put me off reading a writer again. Especially since in romances I tend towards dual POV's more to begin with.

This omegaverse story was dark, filthy and boundary-pushing.
I was absolutely captivated.
😯😳😮💨🥵😳
P.S. Bonus chapter from the author’s website was 100% worth it.

A very intense, steamy alpha romance! Leigh is a reported in the crowd attending the mayoral debate when one of the candidates looks right at her. Suddenly the room is overwhelmed with alphas who are out of control. She is experiencing abdominal pain and then feels her body react. In the scuffle she escapes and ends up being suspended from her newspaper by her editor.
Later that night she decides to go for a run to try and get her mind and body over the discomfort she is still experiencing. A run in a dark park will change her life when she encounters alphas who are after her and she is saved by an intense alpha who wants her for himself.
This storyline has some suspense and danger that along with several steamy scenes between Leigh and her alpha keep the reader fully engaged with the book.
I received an ARC from Hidden Gems and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
