Description from the publisher:

Chris Jenkins, alpha werewolf, wants the woman who destroyed his life dead. When he finds her, instead of facing a criminal mastermind, he discovers her imprisoned and beaten by her own family. A victim. So, he rescues her. To make things worse, her soul is bound to a grimoire of black magic and he volunteers his pack to protect the book from falling into the wrong hands. Now, the woman he fantasized killing has to live with him. It’s the only way to keep his city safe.

Really.

Jade Ellington dreams of finding her Prince Charming, then the big bad wolf blows her jail door down. In that moment, she changes her mind. Chris is everything a woman could want. Sexy and strong, and did she mention he can cook? But she’s responsible for all his heartache and she’s nothing to him but a burden. How can she compete with the beautiful shifter women who surround him? Like all the time.

Then a thief invades the pack den and steals her grimoire. The one holding her soul hostage. The one Chris swore to keep safe. Without the book, she’ll die in days. It’s a race against time, sexual frustration, and dragons.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
NOT HER ALPHA is the fifth book in the Not This series.  They definitely should be read in the order of release.  Every book has been un-put-downable!



Do not read this paragraph if you have not read the previous books:  When I read NOT HIS WEREWOLF, I saw the title for this one and thought Ryota was going to find his mate (since he lost out on Angie to Eoin).  Instead, Chris, who is the alpha of the Riverbend Wolves, who tried to save Betty when Ken’s claiming puts her in danger (NOT HIS WEREWOLF), is the Alpha in the title.  My disappointment was short-lived, because I fell in love with Chris and Jade!



The characters – main and secondary – are all strongly written with complete personalities.  It makes me want to read all of their stories.



The romance between Chris and Jade builds slowly, but believably.  I loved walking… no, racing with them towards the grimoire and their HEA.  Speaking of their HEA, Chris proved his love in such a sigh-worthy way that makes me want a werewolf just like him!



I look forward to where we will go next in this series and who may next get their HEA.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
