Defended By The Alpha by Luna Wilder

Just… not great? Needs some editing to start with, but that’s the smallest issue.
I knew this one was short so I was hoping that the stalker plot line would make it worth it for me, but it was severely underwhelming. There was never a true sense of danger from the stalker and the resolution was very anticlimactic.
The romance was rushed, obviously, but that didn’t bother me much. What bothered me was how fast the FL just accepted that he was a shifter, even before seeing him shift. There is just no way that would happen… Not believable in the least.
Spicy scenes were written fine, but because we spend very little time with the characters before they get busy I just didn’t have any time to connect to them so I had no feelings whatever about their sex. MAYBE if the stalker plot was used efficiently, there would be moments to bond with the characters that would make us actually care about their love making and relationship. Quite a bit of telling and not showing in the romance development as well.
The writer has something, but needs to use those skills to do more.
