Holy crap this book was HOT. Woo.
The author is a clinical psychologist turned romantica writer. I'm glad she gave up being a shrink because I am hunting down more of her books NOW.
This book is a loose plot around some steamy scenes, but she sets up a great world for future books. Strong heroine, men aren't the annoying chest-beaters either.
HEA :) ...more

Alice's Alpha is a super steamy book from page one that puts an intriguing and sexy spin on the standard shifter myths. Because of this unique view this story ends up being an unforgettable read that you find yourself completely immersed in and the ideas it presents point towards an enticing future for this series.

Her feelings change drama Alice's Alpha is a super steamy book from page one that puts an intriguing and sexy spin on the standard shifter myths. Because of this unique view this story ends up being an unforgettable read that you find yourself completely immersed in and the ideas it presents point towards an enticing future for this series.

Alice is a 33 year old virgin who doesn't have much luck with men as she's made of sturdy stock more inclined to compete with the boys than get close to them. Her feelings change dramatically once she's found in the forest by wolf-shifter Jed. Her hormones kick into overdrive and all she wants to do is jump his bones but there are secrets she must learn before she makes such a life-altering decision. Alice seems like a strong-willed woman but becomes a slave to her hormones easily accepting what Jed tells her about his kind with nary a pause. She's intrigued by the physical changes their mating will bring her though she balks for a brief moment learning that mating with Jed means also being with his pack-mates, Terin and Bron. Alice easily accepts all these men have to offer and as she had no close friends or family before, it's heartwarming to see that she's finally found a family of her own.

Shifters have been hunted in great numbers and where they were once thought of as gods they are now reviled. For their safety they rarely run in their animal forms which has slowly weakened their abilities and made it difficult to find their mates. The mate bond is immediate and shockingly strong and while Jed wants Alice immediately he's bound by their laws to give her a choice. That's not to say he doesn't use every sexual trick in the book to win her over. He's a strong, sexy, and wise Alpha desperate to keep their kind safe. He'll do anything to keep Alice safe and happy and with the help of his pack-mates she'll be immensely satisfied too in a series of HOT interludes that lead to a satisfying HEA.

Not much is known about Terin and Bron beyond their sexiness and loyalty. They're immediately attracted to Alice and easily accept their secondary roles in their mating with Alice. Both together and apart these sexy shifters engage in numerous sweat-inducing sexual encounters that take up a large portion of the story. This doesn't leave much room for character development beyond the main couple or the danger hinted at by the presence of a Hunter, who happens to be Alice's friend. This part of the story, and the Hunter's overall impact towards shifters, intrigued me and has me longing to see this issue addressed more than the hastily thrown together conclusion presented here. Overall, this is a decadently delightful story full of steamy foreplay and super sexually charged menages that will leave you breathless.

I've only recently discover Ann Gimpel and her shifters and I have to say this first book caught my attention in more than way.

The setting and time period were a surprise. I don't know why other than I guess I always think in the terms of now. Alice is the biggest surprise in a very pleasant way. A strong women in a mans position is unthinkable in the 1930's. Jed and his packmates not so surprising but enjoyable in so many ways. I will admit that I listened to this book series on audio books and ...more
