Title: Mate of the Alpha
Author: Marie

Blurb:
Ethan Scott was reluctant to claim his mate, Lily Reynolds. He was afraid his carnal needs would be too much for the curvy innocent. His wolf was of another mind, pushing the man relentlessly to mate. But Ethan knew once he had the brown-haired beauty there would no turning back. He’d claim her, mate her, and bred her. When she’s attacked by a group of rouge wolves, Ethan fears he has left his claiming too late and will lose his mate forever. When he comes to her rescue, he discovers the spirited Lily is more than ready to be the mate of an alpha.
Lily Reynolds has been crushing on her boss since she started work at Wolfe Enterprises six months ago. She knew the chances of attracting the wolf into a long-term relationship were slim to none – slim being a state she hadn’t achieved since childhood. She loved her curves and knew there was someone out there who would love every soft, luscious inch of her voluptuous body. Heartbroken, she knew Ethan Scott wasn’t that man despite the hot and cold signals the wolf shifter had been given her for months.
Excerpt:
In his mate, he
sensed a reserve. There was a wariness within the depths of her pretty, brown
eyes that spoke of something, he suspected, that had to do with a man. It made
him angry to think anyone had ever hurt his mate. But knowing he’d have to
overcome her natural resistance and
some asshole’s past behavior was a challenge.
A sense of
challenge in regards to a woman, especially a mate, was arousing as hell.
Thankfully, there
wasn’t so much as a hint of feeling intimidated by him in her demeanor. Fate
would not have given him a woman who would be cowered by his dominance. She
would have given him a mate who completed him, who balanced the arrogance of
his wolf.
There were
other reasons for his reluctance to claim his mate. There was an air of such
pure innocence surrounding Lily that it frightened him. He was a creature of
the forest, an earthy, sexual being. He knew mating with him would expose her
to his wolf’s – hell, the man’s – ferocious carnal appetite, the constant
craving. The need to dominate her sexually. Of course, he would protect her and
provide for her as no other male ever could. He was her mate, too. Designed to
fulfill her needs and wants and desires. He just didn’t know if she was ready
to be the mate of the alpha.
He smiled as he
handed her the contracts. Slowly, sensuously, sending a silent message he hoped
she was starting to understand. He wanted her and he was going to have her. She
was careful not to touch his hand as she took the sheaf of papers. Noting her
stealth to not so much as brush his fingers with her own, Ethan’s eyes danced
with deviltry.
“I’m sure I can
manage it,” she said primly before she turned and walked back to her office,
unaware of the big, bad wolf ogling her rounded ass and curvy legs.
The sensation of
simmering expectancy inside Ethan ratcheted up to rioting anticipation. The man
and wolf both thought – tonight is the
night.

My Review: 4 stars
I'm only knocking this down because I wanted more. This read was so fast, I didn't really have time to get savor the story. I was really left wanting more. Don't get me wrong, what was there was damn good. It was just over all too fast. I would love to see Marie write a longer book with either the same or similar characters. Marie created great characters who had that attraction to each other that's great to find. I really loved the last line. That's what made me want more. Well that and the fact that Marie had done a great job with so few pages. I will be on the lookout for Marie, that's for sure.
