I think I’ve seen this film before… and I kinda liked the ending. The plot of this book follows Princess Aurora as she enters into an unexpected romance with an alpha werewolf, who are considered second-class citizens in her homeland. And this wolf happens to have just (basically) kidnapped her. Eventually, a second mysterious alpha wolf enters Aurora’s orbit, and she must navigate around his ulterior motives to execute her own plan and maintain her own pride and dignity in the process. 

While I enjoyed the romantic tension and thought the writing was well done, I do think this story is one that I’ve both read and seen on television. I’m not a quitter, so I’ll read the second book to see if the plot manages to deviate from what seems like a predictable path ahead. I’m interested in the journey toward making me invested in both men in this love triangle.
