Beauty And The Beta
Bailey seems to be never destined to fit in, a little geeky, but under it all, a hidden beauty that so many seem to miss, but still not what her pack Alpha is looking for in a fated mate... so he is determined to reject her and make her life hell. Bailey, knowing her life will likely never be the same focuses on what she can control, her future, and heads off to study; becoming a teacher.
Asher is the Beta of Autumn Valley Pack, a neighbouring pack. A broken man having suffered the loss of his mate after a rogue attack, Asher is slowly crumbling. Falling to pieces. A shadow of his former self, and not a man that anyone wants to be around anymore...
Until, Autumn Valley Pack require a new teacher, and Bailey finds herself there and pushed together with the Beta. Is there a connection building or is that in their imaginations? And what will happen when Bailey's mate comes back to claim what is his?
I just found this book 5 days ago and read it front to back. I found it very enjoyable. Although I do agree with the other review. Having the same interaction from several POV's where the words were repeated wasn't fully necessary. I'm looking forward to more books from this writer. I had hoped for a reveal on the crazy "upcoming alpha's" final fait. The satisfaction of that part was missed.
It was a bittersweet story that evokes a lot of emotions within you. Even though I felt like there could have been a little more romance between the main characters, I think at the end all ended up well. I would have liked if the same scenes were not repeatedly told in different POV. Having different POV was a good thing to have insights on what the other characters thought. But it would have been nice if there were more scenes involving the two main characters. But overall, this was a good read.
