Love Potion for the Alpha by Alice Coldbreath
4.0
September 2021 Reread: the new audible version of this book just dropped, and I enjoyed the voice actor who read it. I've been hesitant to listen to Coldbreath's stories since she—understandably—picks British actors to read. While I can enjoy that in a visual medium, I often find it distracting and off-putting in an audio book. No problems with this one.

A historical romance...with wolf shifters. A bit of a slow starter, but once it gets going, it's a lot of fun. This is a pretty smooth read with no peril, very little drama, and the potion + self esteem issues is the big sticking point for the heroine while the hero refuses to mate despite what his wolf wants, making this a good read for when you want something sweet that won't cause too much tension.
It's always interesting to look back on older works from authors I currently enjoy. This book has a lot of editing and formatting issues—which I did not count against it due to the age—but I can see a lot of what has developed into Coldbreath's formula for historical romances: all of the elements are there to one degree or another.
