Review: When He's an Alpha (The Olympus Pride Series Book 2) by Suzanne Wright

When He's an Alpha by Suzanne Wright
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Entertaining Paranormal Romance

One of the things I like about this world of shifters, that Suzanne Wright has created, is that just because there are fated mates, that doesn’t mean that is all there is. Just because you are fated does not mean you will want to be with that person, even if the animals belong together. There is another option to being a fated mate and that is imprinting, which gives a similar result, being mates, but a different process. This makes romances much more interesting in this world than in many other ‘fated mates’ type books. We are kept guessing about the nature of the relationships.

In this book, Tate has become the Alpha for the Olympus Pride, with his father Vinnie, the old Alpha, staying on as an advisor. Tate had partial imprinting bonds broken three years ago and since then he keeps all relationships casual. His hookups last a couple of months and then the women are out the door. His latest hook up is Havana, a lone Devil shifter. She works at the rec centre, which is a place for lone shifters to hang out and feel safe. She was lucky enough to get an apartment in the Olympus Pride’s apartment block for lone shifters, as normally they are not welcome around prides, packs and flocks etc. Havana and her friends have been together a long time and as a natural-born alpha, Havana is in charge of their little clan.

Four months after starting her fling with Tate, Havana has decided to end things because she has started to have feelings for Tate and that goes against their agreement. She knows that Tate is never going to have a serious relationship with her and Havana doesn’t want to put herself through that. Though Tate initially lets her go, he’s reluctant and when she has a kidnapping attempt made on her he can’t help his possessive reaction to her.

This book is full of interesting relationships, information about lone shifters and how they fit in the world, and intrigue as they try to track down the bad guys.

As usual, there is plenty of passion in this book and this author writes very hot scenes that you probably don’t want to read in public.

There is plenty of humour and I love the banter between all the characters, not only the main ones. This is part of what makes these books so entertaining. I love the world-building and having characters from other series pop up in this series, as it creates links between what has been written previously and current events.

Overall, you can’t go wrong with one of these shifter books. They are entertaining, filled with passion, have oodles of interesting world-building and plot aplenty. A perfect escapist novel.
