Publisher's summary

After a year of lusting after his sexy employee, werewolf pack-leader Grant broke his no-involvement-with-humans rule and made a move on Talia. A month later the sex is still red hot and everything between them is perfect. Or so he thought. Until the night he shows up at her place expecting their usual ritual of mind-blowing sex and finds out she has other plans. And they don't include him.

When Talia announces she's tired of being his last priority, Grant realizes he might lose the only woman he's ever cared about. He has to do something fast to fix their relationship, but she's completely unaware that he's not human. He's not above using sex to bind her to him, but when she wants more than that he has a risky decision to make. If he admits the truth he risks not only his heart, but the safety of his pack and the existence of all supernatural beings as well.

Short and Sexy

This book was just ok to me. I really wanted to love it but alas I liked it instead. It was your average short, shifter sexy book. I just didn't feel like anything actually happened. The sexy scenes, writing and narration were all good. I just wanted more from the story.

Another GREAT listen by Katie Reus! <3'd it!!

HOT HOT HOT!! OMG! In this short but satisfying listen penned by Katie Reus aka Savannah Stuart she totally manages to pack not only some heart twisting moments, but some smokin' hawt love scenes that'll have you reaching for your ice water! (Or you man!)

I loved Grant ~ the tough Alpha, who is responsible for so much and so many, has so much trouble with Talia, his one true love. He's been taking her for granted...but she's DONE allowing that! Talia gives this tough Alpha a true run for his money...and I enjoyed every second of it!

Once again I have to tell you how very, very much I love Katie Reus's writing! She can pack so much emotion, so many thrills & chills into a novella that you get the feeling you've read a full length book. I always look forward to the next book in her series, and this is yet another series she's hooked me on!!

If you haven't tried her out yet, DO!! This is the perfect place to start!!

And the narration for Taming The Alpha was fabulous!!

Short but yes I would recommend

From break up to make up without personality

This wasn’t a novella; this was an outline between three sex scenes. No camp, no humor, no emotion,
no personality and no detail except for the sex.
Short doesn’t have to mean shallow; nooky novellas can still have stories.
The next few novellas are a lot better, with a little more backstory, plot, and personality beyond
insta-mate lust.

For shifter novellas with better plots, characters and fun (not to mention nawty nooky),
I recommend the five novella collection titled Shift by Ruby Dixon.

OUTLINE REVEAL / SPOILERS:
Talia breaks up with Grant, goes to a bondage club, gets wasted.
Grant is jealous.
So, they have sex.
And have sex again.
5 minute random supernatural fight scene
Grant gone for two days so Talia gets a new date.
Grant is jealous.
Reveals shifter life.
Proclaims love. Ditto her.
More sex.
The End.

Short Tease but interesting

Brief intro to a new pack but not enough character development to make it satisfying. Seem like a nice couple but would like more dialogue. No humor. The bounty hunter seems like a good next story.

Short w/lots of sex ~ who's complaining.

It's a short story, but for the limited time you get to read/listen to them - they have sex & even make love several times. It is typical in that within only a short time both the leading lady & the strong Alpha decide that they are both in love & want to commit to each other for the next 1000 years & live happily ever after.

Interesting story

Would you listen to Taming the Alpha again? Why?

Possibly, it's a nice little romance, with a fresh story and likeable characters.

What other book might you compare Taming the Alpha to and why?

Not sure

What about Jeffrey Kafer’s performance did you like?

I love Jeffrey's voice, and I'd buy more stories just to have him read to me! Lol

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

While I enjoy a little sexual tension, the writer takes it a little too far. Some sex is okay, but these stories could be a little better with a little more character development, and less stuff I'm embarrassed that Jeffrey has to read aloud, although he does a great job of it!

Loved It!

What did you love best about Taming the Alpha?

I love paranormal books, and this is one of the best ones. I love that it has romance, and humor. The narrator was great and kept my attention.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Taming the Alpha?

When Grant has to confess that he is actually a shifter and then shifts for her to prove it.

Have you listened to any of Jeffrey Kafer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to several books that Jeffrey has narrated and I love them all.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I love the humor and the characters interaction with each other. I love this authors other books and this one was just a good as her other ones. I highly recommend reading and listening to this book.

Wow. I. Love. This. Author.

So, I got these books forever ago and I’m catching up on reviews- because reviews are helpful!
I really enjoy this book and, for me, it serves as an entry into the world that Savannah Stuart/ Katie Reus has created and her writing in general. This story is short and sweet with a great intro into the Crescent Moon Pack (there are several books in the series). It introduces us to the characters that we will see on the future books in the series and I really like the way the series as a whole flows.
Jeffrey Kafer, as always, provides an amazing voice for the series. I think he’s probably in my top 10 narrators of all time and probably like 3rd overall.

Disappointed by the brevity and cliffhanger.

I don't know why, but I expected this book to be longer. I also didn't expect it to end in a cliffhanger. While I enjoyed the book, I'm not sure if I enjoyed it enough to purchase the rest of the books in the series, knowing how short they are.

The narrator had a great voice and did a good job. He could stand to improve his female character voices a bit, but overall it was a nice performance.
