Alpha by Jasinda Wilder
3.0
3-star read, for me, because I liked it well enough, but I'm not likely to read it again.
I get off on the whole "claiming" thing; possessive alphas are my go-to book heroes, so I was all over this. I was diggin' it for awhile. Dude was possessive enough, and he was bossy, but he wasn't alpha in a domineering, commandeering, dominant kind of way like I anticipated, so that was a little disappointing on a personal level.
At about the 68% mark, I struggled getting through to the finish, mostly I think because it seemed like a flip switched in the story all of a sudden from pretty-good-speed-of-things to what-the-shit-just-happened-super-morph-speed, which threw me off a little bit.
Full disclosure, the 68% mark was where I stopped reading before bed last night, and picked it up again this morning, so it could be a case of "it's not you, it's me," depending on which side of the bed I woke up on, how twisted my sheets were, and which side the cool side of the pillow was in relation to my head.

"Know this: You are mine. You will always be mine. And I take care of what's mine. So if you do walk away...you will have no worries. Never again, no matter what."

"Sometimes...I think sometimes there is no right thing. There's just... the best thing. The only thing."
