girvinia's review against another edition
5.0
When I see stuff like this in a description I usually run-don’t-walk away: “Raised to rule, bred to lead and weaned on a diet of ruthless ambition.“ etc.
.
But Kennedy Ryan actually made me like an “alpha” hero! (side note, totally problematic term and it’s silly for me to use it as a shortcut so ppl understand the type, and then have to put a disclaimer on why I don’t like it. Google ‘alpha male disproven.’) ANYWAY Ryan said she likes to call him the “woke alpha.” His confidence / arrogance / drive / zeal is aimed toward environmentalism. And he LISTENS. And respects.
.
One reason I don’t normally like alpha MCs is that I HATE the “I’ll make them mine”, pursuit trope. Dude, they said Not Interested!!
.
But Maxim does the pursuit perfectly: I want you, yes we'll be together; I get what I want so we WILL be together. And now I'll back off, wait, and let you come to me. Because I love that you’re so strong and go after what you want, and I want you to want me." HEARTEYES SWOON HEARTEYES
.
I love Lennix, too, BTW.
.
So run-don’t-walk to get to know Lennix Hunter Moon, The Kingmaker, and Maxim Cade, The Woke Alpha.
