Call of the Alpha - Part 1

Rate this book
Jessica's whole life is her job. She lives and breathes her work as a nurse. Even her few friends are colleagues. Outside of work, she lives alone on the edge of town, and hasn't had a relationship in years.

One night, driving home after being gently told by her boss to take a week off, something darts in front of her car from the shadows. Something that at first looks almost animal-like.

But instead of an animal, Jessica finds a man, injured and lying in a ditch. Taking him home to treat his wounds, she soon discovers he has no idea who he is, his memories lost in the accident.

As he heals, his memory loss doesn't stop the sexual attraction growing between them. But what else has he forgotten? What was he doing running out there in the dark, and could whatever was hunting him now have set its sights on Jessica too?

Call of the Alpha - Part 1 is a 20,000 word BBW Werewolf Shifter Paranormal Romance. It is part 1 of an alpha shifter serial and is not stand alone. Parts will be published every two weeks.

I actually enjoyed this book. It is much fuller than most chapter books now. Yet, I know something was missing from the story to fully enjoy it.

Trash novel

No true details to get lost in. Practically from the beginning it's let's have crazed sex with this intruder that was eating raw meat out of my fridge in the middle of the night. Oooh plot twist on this little book that took me under 2 hours to read... let's listen to this complete stranger about not calling the hospital, about his crazy fast healing wounds, his crazed behavior, oh and let's not forget how they were meant to be together and they both feel it. You may have well just said stupid woman hits animal with car to find out it's actually human, even though she saw it covered in fur, naively believes he suffers amnesia, doesn't call authorities, brings him to home, talks about fellatio with him constantly, busts him at being a werewolf, and has a lot lot lot of sex with him in a matter of hours, talks about how they both feel they are suppose to be together, story ends with "big" plot twist.

There was really no creativity to this book. It felt like an extension of one of Twilight's wolf boys breaking his leash and boom imprint. Suggestion... Make the book longer, provide better detail, come up with something that isn't so "wow she will just screw anything that willingly limps into her house as long as she can see how big his manhood really is" and it might be worth the read. I don't even want to spend the money to read the other books.

Please Lia do yourself a favor and have someone knowledgeable proof read your book before it goes off to the printers. The grammar and punctuation about had me wanting to tear my eyes out. I do think she has potential as a writer but she just needs to take more pride in her work.

There seems to be a new trend in novels where authors are writing big weekly serial novellas. It is kind of nice not having to wait a year for a new installment of a book you enjoy;but, the downside is some authors overcharge for each editions. "Call of the Alpha" part one introduces us to an overworked nurse named Jessica who has been instructed to take a week off to rejuvenate.

On her drive home, Jessica hits something. She is unsure if it is an animal or a man but feels she must stop to provide aide. She discovers a naked, wounded man who is suffering from amnesia. He pleads with her not to take him to the hospital; so, she takes him home where she marvels at his rapid healing. Soon, they find themselves in each other's arms. Jessica learns her attractive patient is named Frost and together they have an undeniable connection. Yet, there is a promise of danger ahead and Jessica just may learn of a world she could never has imagined.

A moderately enjoyed this read and the cliffhanger ending left me curious about future installments. However, I feel like the relationship between Frost and Jessica was unbelievable because it was rushed. The author did not take the time to flush out the characters very well; thus, not really garnering my interest or concern. Additionally, while I am tempted to read part two, I think $2.99 for an 80 page serial is way too much. At this point I'm unsure if I will continue.

I like what I've read. There are still lots of questions to be answered, but those should come in the following books. The only thing I felt lacking was emotions, I mean they were there but it didn't feel as strong as some writers can get. Still good though.

This was one of those stories that just wasn't my bag. The story was a bit pushed. A tad too predictable & all together just wasn't that interesting. It might work for soneone else, but didnt capture my interest or curiosity to read the next installment.

Loved it! I just wish some parts weren't as long and others were a bit longer.
