When a young woman finds herself thrust into another life and time, a new world begins to unfold in ways which she could never have imagined.
As her destiny reveals itself, Gwynne begins to adapt to her astonishing new circumstances and all that they hold. But she quickly realizes that this life will be one filled with danger, passion and conflict, complete with two gorgeous men who are a mix of passion and strength.
And she wouldn't trade this life for anything.
This is the complete bestselling Sought by the Alphas saga, five books compiled into one Boxed Set for the first time.
This book is a five-part serial and is book one in the
Alpha Seekers series.
Gwynne goes to her mother’s homeland of Cornwall, England
in her quest for answers and finds a startling portrait in a pub. The woman in
the painting, the lady Gwendolyn, looks exactly like Gwynne. After she learns
the local legend about the lady, a gorgeous man saves her life at the ruins of
an old castle. Lachlan turns out to be a wolf shifter, and he knows more about
Gwynne, her past and future, than he lets on. Though he gives Gwynne very
little information and skirts around her questions, she decides to follow him
through a time portal where she has to mate with him and another stranger in
order to save the men’s pack.
Lachlan and his cousin Rauth are co-alphas of their dire
wolf pack, and they’ve been waiting a long time for their mate’s return.
Lachlan loves her and has forsaken other women while in wait for her, but Rauth
sleeps around and sees his future mate as a means to an end. Once Gwynne
finally arrives in 1348, the men are ready to impregnate her, needing children
from the union in order to secure the pack’s future.
I liked Gwynne for the most part, but I don’t understand
why she never demanded answers from her mates or why she let them lie and
withhold information from her. Other than that, she was a strong, capable woman
who adjusted to time travel and living with shifters very easily.
Though Lachlan kept Gwynne in the dark about various
facts, he’s still a kind and respectable man. Rauth, however, is arrogant,
sexist, and rarely seemed to think about Gwynne as more than a tool he needed
to use. Despite both men’s lies and Rauth not caring about Gwynne, she
continued to sleep with them because the sex was incredible.
I was confused about how Gwendolyn/Gwynne could be the
same person. Gwendolyn lived, fell in love with Lachlan, and then died in the
1300s. Gwynne’s supposed mother (who is supposed to be pg with Gwynne) traveled
from the 1300s to 1990, raised Gwynee for ten years, and then abandoned her.
How can Gwendolyn/Gwynne be in two places at once, living two different lives, since
they’re supposed to be the same person, not two people?
Since Gwendolyn is dead in the 1300s, the men have been
waiting for years for Gwynne to arrive at the ruins of Dundurn Castle sometime
in the future. How long did they wait?
As for the writing style, it’s written in third person
and the POV jumps between several characters. Some words are spelled in British
English, others in American English. There are some grammar typos which were a
little distracting.
Overall, I enjoyed the shifter wars, the erotic sex
scenes, and most of the secondary characters, especially Freya and Ygrena. Gwynne’s
children were pretty awesome too. The villain was appropriately evil and served
well as the antagonist.
