ALPHA EVER AFTER is Book 5 in Jessica Sims' "Midnight
Liaisons"
series featuring a dating agency for paranormals. It's not
absolutely necessary, but reading DESPERATELY SEEKING
SHAPESHIFTER before reading ALPHA EVER AFTER will give a little
context for Savannah and Connor's complicated relationship. If
you've never read any previous books in the "Midnight
Liaisons'
series, Jessica Sims does a great job of telling the story of
how Savannah and Connor wound up in the very difficult
situation that lead to Savannah's pregnancy. Fans of this
series have been waiting for this story for a very long time
and Jessica Sims does not disappoint with ALPHA EVER AFTER.
I'm glad ALPHA EVER AFTER is told from alternating
perspectives, because I really need that in order to understand
and sympathize with Savannah. The circumstances under which
Connor got Savannah pregnant were far from ideal, but I have
always felt Savannah was a little harsh on Connor. Connor is
stuck with his pack's reputation for being hillbilly, werewolf
jerks and as alpha is working hard to clean house and change
his pack for the better. It's this sense of integrity paired
with sexy strength and a devotion to the woman he loves that
makes Connor such an awesome hero. His struggle to win Savannah
and understand her point of view had me rooting for him the
entire book. This is a perfect story for readers who enjoy
great paranormal romances and relationships with heart and and
characters who have a long history.
The supporting characters -- both old and new -- tie everything
together in ALPHA EVER AFTER, spur the story on, and add some
humor to balance out the angst. Party girl werewolf Gracie is a
hoot and Jessica Sims does a wonderful job of giving her layers
in each story she pops up in. I would love to read a story
about Gracie in the future. I also love Jessica Sims'
"Primordial" shifters in ALPHA EVER AFTER. The Primordials
provide a lot of enjoyable goofy moments due to their
unfamiliarity with this modern era - which is very different
from the place and time that they came from. The interesting
possibilities that the Primordials present have me chomping at
the bit for more "Midnight Liaisons" stories.
ALPHA EVER AFTER has a hot werewolf hero who will make you howl
and great storytelling. Jessica Sims balances the steamy scenes
with the humor and the poignant moments. I look forward to
reading the next installment in this "Midnight Liaisons"
series.
Connor's loved Savannah from the moment he laid eyes on her.
She's his mate, no matter what she says.
Savannah's hated the Anderson pack ever since they kidnapped
her. That fateful week had big consequences, though, and now
she's pregnant with Connor's twins. He's elated. She's...less
enthusiastic. She wants the babies but him? Not so much. He's a
bossy werewolf who thinks he can dictate what she does. She's a
were-cougar who won't be pushed, especially not by a know-it-
all wolf alpha.
So why is it every time that she tries to move on, he's right
there waiting for her? And why does she compare everyone else
to a certain tall, dark wolf? Why does she crave Connor more
than pickles and ice cream?
