An Alpha's Path - Carrie Ann Ryan Seriously I paid .99 cents for this one and you know I wish I could request a refund.

The basic story is that a woman goes on a blind date with a guy who happens to be a werewolf, turns out they are mates but they cannot quite get to happily ever after.

Lets start with the heroine, wow just TSTL. A 25 year old with a PhD in Chemistry but no dates since I guess undergrad? Anyway she meets a hot guy, cannot eat her meal because she is nervous wants to get to know him but instead says lets go upstairs because apparently blind dates in the book are overnight date. He see she is nervous and suggests a bath then movies (??? who are these people??? I am not taking a relaxing bath with a man who makes me nervous in a strange hotel room??). Lets move on from that as it is one woman's subjective POV. Lets talk about the guy, he is supposed to be an alpha male but really he is kind of odd. He smells said mate honey and lavender I think ...what a weird combo there...but his lines really need work. I mean honestly I do not know much about him except he is a passive aggressive whiner.

Here is the thing the book actually has a lot of potential. The problem here is the book is illogical. For example you have the next alpha who sits on his hands and waits for his mate drawing their dream house instead of actively pursuing her. I am not saying he has to be like the stalker but come on send some candy, write her poems, call her, ask her out for coffee, but to sit in your forest and do nothing?? Then our heroine, she is supposed to be brilliant and feeling love at first sight but she allows her love interest to almost fight to his death because she does not want to say anything about the guy she cares nothing about. See what I mean illogical! On the other side of the story you have a woman who has busted her behind to create something for herself and she is supposed to give it all up for a quick roll in the hay and a man she has spent 5 hours with total??

Here is the thing I would never want to tell an author what to write but really a good editor could have made all the difference. The book could use some work with character and plot development. It could have also used editing to correct grammar and spelling mistakes. At the end of the day it feels unfinished and it just did not make sense.
