Publisher's summary

Welcome to Rabbit Creek.... City girl Elizabeth Reynolds hopes to find peace and contentment in the small Appalachian town of Rabbit Creek. Okay, so the bucolic cottage she's rented turns out to be a dilapidated cabin without phone service, but the people she meets are wonderful. Friendly and down to Earth, they welcome her with open arms. It's just like moving to Mayberry...if Andy and Aunt Bea were wolves. Only an outsider would call them werewolves. They're wolvers, a community of man/beasts that have lived in these hills since their ancestors emigrated from Scotland three hundred years ago. And that gorgeous Chief of Police, Marshall Goodman, the guy she met while covered in mud and wearing granny underpants? The one who sends her heart spinning? He's their Alpha and his pack is under attack from outside forces. Elizabeth, being a sane and reasonable woman, wants no part of any of this, but if she refuses to risk her life and her heart, the people she's grown to care about will lose everything and she'll lose the one man she was born to love.

OK but predictable

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

It was a light read, pure fluff so don't expect more. Still entertaining. As this is the first book, I am hoping the others improve. Characterization could be a lot deeper.

What three words best describe Leah Frederick’s voice?

Nasal news reader. Her voice is a bit hard to take, she does southern accents well but not much else. Intonation is often annoying and she sounds like she's reading the news for NPR. I got over it after awhile but never really enjoyed her voice.

Good storyline :)

What made the experience of listening to The Alpha's Mate the most enjoyable?

I enjoyed the story. I appreciated that the sex didn't occur every other second like it does in most.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I really didn't like listening to the narrator. I felt like I was listening to 20/20 and she also stayed with some of the characters voices when she was narrating when they weren't even speaking anymore.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

"Waiting for the Chase?!?"

Any additional comments?

I want to hear more about Elizabeth and Marshall, especially since their mating effected the whole pack.

great book.

I really enjoyed this book. it was funny full of action and romance the narration was on beat with the story line. i dont do reviews this is my first time but i wanted to share with others how much i enjoyed this book.

Great read

I really enjoyed this book! I expected something different but was pleasantly surprised! I look forward to reading more from this author!

It was ok

I liked The story but The narrator was really annoying . Some voices were good but the main character seemed needy and not strong .

Reader can't say wolf

frustrating - eternally frustrating. listening to a story where "the woof had sharp teeth" all. the.way.thru. Story is excellent. humor, anguish, affection, and fear were all portrayed well by the author.

Really good book

What did you love best about The Alpha's Mate?

Good story line. Not as predictable as other books until close to the very end.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Marshall, he seemed like a perfect guy. How do we get all our guys to listen to these books?

What does Leah Frederick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her narating allows me to drive!

Narator was a bit too perky, but I could get past it.

Drama

I love how the how old is a strong independent opinionated Mark and I love that the woman in the in the Wolfpack is very supportive and caring and is there for her the way I love the hero if you need them back and let her in pushing and fighting for her it's like a very me look I love that and it was great.
