"The Alpha’s Heart" [Wilde Creek Series, Book 2] by R. E. Butler

Author's Book Description : Alpha wolf Acksel wakes up one morning in the bed of a woman he’s had a crush on since high school. Brynn Mara was the one human who had been friendly to him in school and now, ten years later, she is snuggled up at his side, smelling like passion and sweet dreams. Even though Acksel has declared that his pack members can mate with humans from now on, he knows that any woman he takes as his mate will have a target on her back. Especially if she’s a fragile human. Deciding it’s better to cut things off than string her along when there is no hope for a relationship, he leaves without a word and ignores her.

But it doesn’t matter if Acksel acknowledges her or not, because their one night of passion has left a permanent reminder of what happens when one drunk wolf forgets protection. Angry, banished wolves from his pack discover Brynn’s secret and decide to use her against Acksel. His worst fears have come true and the only woman that ever touched his heart is now suffering because of his mistake. Can he save her in time? This book contains one pissed-off, emotionally damaged alpha, the human woman who can tame him, and a sweet little surprise that no one expected.

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars!! This unique paranormal romance brings together two mates who have wanted to be in each other's lives since grade school but because of pack politics, they stayed apart ... until now.

I really enjoyed the setup of this series, especially the world that it's set in and how everyone is aware of shifters but shifters are still finding out how to change their rules/laws for the better too. Plus, I loved the characters (main & secondary)!

Together Acksel and Brynn even each other out. She brings out his sweetness, where he brings out her fierceness. In the end, they turn into better people because of everything they go through. As well as, prove to themselves (along with Acksel's pack) that they're worth all of the trouble that comes along with being together.

I can't wait to see where this series will go next, especially in book 3 "The Protector’s Heart!"

I recommend this novel and series to anyone who is a fan of Ms. Butler and/or those who like paranormal romances!

Book Teaser(s) :
With a contented growl, Acksel rolled onto his back and took her with him, pressing her securely into his side.  She peered up at him.  His eyes were closed but he looked happier than he had when he’d stumbled drunkenly into her home just hours earlier.
Giggling internally, she thought, I sexed him happy. ~ within Chapter 3
Dropping a swift kiss to her forehead, he left the room, leaving the door cracked.
“You said I could have clothes,” she said loudly as he walked down the hallway.
“I didn’t say when,” he answered.
“Asshole,” she growled and he chuckled as he went into the kitchen to cook for his mate. ~ within Chapter 12
“What makes you think that she’s my mate?”
“Well, your eyes are flashing like Acksel’s do when he talks about us being mates.  And this is going to sound weird but you smell different now.  Spicier.”  She groaned.  “Ick.  I can’t believe I just said that.”
He blushed sharply.  She was smelling his arousal.  Well, he wasn’t going to clue her in to what the scent was.  Clearly the baby was having an effect on her, giving her some of their wolf tendencies. ~ within Chapter 18
