This was a super cute, fun and sexy read. I truly enjoyed the characters, the build up moved well and the characters were developed well.... That being said I did not read the previous books in the series, this is listed as a stand alone which for the most part yes I agree, but knowing there are previous books does make you feel like your missing out on something. All in all this was a great sexy read with a setting and location that was imaginative to read about.

Alpha Lover was the first book I've got to read from the author.
It was a great read and I do love vampire stories. In the middle of the story it was a bit slow-paced for me, but overall I did enjoy the setting in Russia, the story itself and what the author made out of the idea.
Yes, it is a steamy vampire romance read, so don't expect anything groundbraking new, however, it was great, exciting and quite adventurous.

I did not read book 1 and 2, however, this was not an issue. The author made it quite nice and you were able to easily catch-up.
If you do like a good vampire read, then the series is for you.

Alpha Lover war mein erstes Buch der Autorin.
Es war ein gutes Buch, die Vampir-Liebesgeschichte war gut, nichts komplett neues, aber das erwartet man von solch einer Reihe auch nicht.

Es ist Buch 3 in der Reihe, und ich habe 1 & 2 nicht gelesen, aber das war kein Problem. Man kommt schnell in die Geschichte rein und ist in der Welt gefangen. Das russische Setting fand ich ganz besonders schön.
Wenn man gerne Vampir-Liebesgeschichten liest, ist die Reihe es wert, sie sich anzusehen.

Destiny and romance lead the way in this third installment of the Alpha Council Chronicles series. I admit this is the first book I had read in the series and do feel like a reader could benefit from having read the previous books. It stands alone and is definitely engaging and draws you in but, I think some history found in the other books would enrich the story. I read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I recieved this as an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher for my honest review.

 Overall, the story flowed really well and truly kept me entertained and wholly engrossed throughout .I also loved the amazing chemistry between the main characters. Brenda Sparks has written a fantastic sexy book. I have never read anything writen by her. I'm looking forward to the other books in The Alpha Council Chronicles. Whether you are a paranormal fan or not, you will likely really enjoy this read.
