I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I have to say I was really I was really disappointed. In this book we have a woman Rayne who is needing a new start and she thinks she has found it. Rayne wants to revamp her grandfathers old hunting lodge. However, the wolves in the area have different ideas. So it had a pretty good premise for a good story my problem is probably how this story is billed. I was expecting three alphas falling in love with one woman. That wasn’t what happened. We have Nick who for about 50% of the book is the sole man in her life. At the end there is one full ménage scene then one of the guys leaves for no good reason. It really irritated me if your looking for a good ménage read this diffently is not it. I was really disappointed.

Rayne Adler just wants to get her Grandfathers lodge turned into a resort She doesn't expect to crash and get attacked in a place where she grew up. Lucky for her she was saved by the Whitemore brothers. Three brothers she was hoping to run into.
As they nurse her back to health the heat picks up. They are also trying to stop her from opening the resort.
I felt this book had some flat areas and lagged as well.

Rayne was spending summers at her Grandpa Joe's hunting lodge when she met the Whitmore brothers Caleb, Nick, and Dalton. She decides after a bad break up to turn Grandpa Joe's run-down lodge into a resort. Rayne wrecks her car on her move to Silver Bear Mountain. A wolf attacks and bites Rayne while she is looking for help after the accident. Rayne escapes the wolf only after another wolf appears and a fight ensues. She makes her way to an isolated house and finds a key to let herself in. Rayne attempts to clean herself off and tend her wound when the owner of the house returns. Rayne realizes Nick and his brothers live in the house and the fantasies she had as a teenager rush back.

As the shifters in charge, the Whitmore brothers must stop Rayne from opening a resort. The other shifters on the mountain do not want strangers near their land. They have declared they will kill to protect it. Caleb, Nick, and Dalton are hoping Rayne will rethink the resort or she will sell the land to them.

The brothers share everything, including their women. They know Rayne possessing a dormant shifter gene that can awaken by bite or sex is a slim one, so they try to resist their attraction. For their pack to remain shifters, they cannot mate with a human. Their shifter gene will breed out if they do. What they don't count on is how hard they fall for Rayne.

Rayne and Nick had decent chemistry and acted on it quickly. When Rayne began to consider multiple partners she did not suffer a lot of inner torment about it being wrong. It gets on my nerves when women in books judge themselves in ménage situations. I appreciate that was not the case here. The frequent sexual encounters were pretty steamy.

Rayne showed signs of some anxiety. Her rubbing her arm to stop the desire to crawl out of her skin or itching from the inside out soon seemed like subtle hints toward a shifter transformation. I enjoyed the narrator's approach to this scenario. It caused little twinges of tension waiting to see if, how and when she might turn.

The plot itself did not hold a ton of depth. It was mainly an anthology of sexual fantasies. It did not bother me too much until the end. One of the brothers decided to leave the pack for fear of his jealousy tearing them apart. It felt sudden. Until that point, Rayne and the brothers interacted fine. Lacking an emotional tie to them, it just made me roll my eyes.

The flow of some of the sex scenes was problematic. For example, a character would be lying on top of another and suddenly would be beside them doing something different with no segue. This issue happened often enough I started backtracking to find where I misunderstood. Feeling like I missed something became annoying. In the final draft maybe this is fixed.

Overall this book was decent. Not the best I have read but not the worst either. It would be good for someone looking for a tantalizing paranormal romance.

All my opinions are my own and may not match that of others. I encourage all readers to come to their own conclusions. I voluntarily received an ARC copy of this book through NetGalley.

Loving Her Alphas by Ari Thatcher is a story about one human girl and three wolf-shifting brothers who develop a relationship and fall in love. This is a quick (Thirteen chapters) Erotica read. The story line is interesting but I did not think the author was detailed enough with her characters and plot. I think another 5 chapters and more character development and this could have earned another star from me.

The description of the book intrigued me but I found the book itself lagging. It was very slow paced and I didn't really get the story line. Not my favorite book.

Rayne was a businesswoman, she had just left her long term boyfriend and her best friend in Chicago. Nick was one of three Whitmore brothers . He lived on the mountain and had known Rayne as a child.
This was a fun story with a touch of intrigue. I really loved it but it does have a lot of sex. The characters seemed realistic as did the dialogue. The scenery sounded gorgeous, with the pine trees and the birds. The plot was not that complex but still had an excellent story line..

After a wolf attacks Rayne Adler is rescued and nursed back to health by three rugged, gorgeous brothers. Unaware they are wolf-shifters, Rayne finds herself fantasizing about all of them, each in a different way. But she can't see herself choosing one.

The Whitmore brothers, Caleb, Nick, and Dalton, are thrilled to finally have found their mate in spunky Rayne and will do everything they can to persuade her to stay and play!

I know the authors go out of their way to provide us with a story that will captivate our minds and sometimes libidos. I appreciate the heated story between the characters and that is why I'm giving it a 3 stars.

Other than that I found it lacking in conviction. The attractions all the brothers had for Rayne was not bad but the rest of the story was a let down for me personally. I think if the author does a rewrite and makes a stronger story it would really work.

ARC received for review

2.5 stars

Three hot brothers/wolves for one women. Great premise but lacked a lot in the story. The bad guy part kinda fell flat. Then one of the brothers left. Then blah ending.

I liked the premise. The bedroom scenes were super steamy. I just didn't feel much of a story there. Short read with interesting characters. Just needed a little bit MORE!

A quick polyamory read with a dash of the supernatural sprinkled in. Some mild spoilers below.

Rayne Adler has inherited the Shady Pines Lodge after her grandfather's death. Coming on the heels of her being fired and dumped, Rayne decides to turn the former hunting lodge into a resort. However, on the way there, she is attacked by a wolf and forced to recuperate at the Whitmores', neighboring brothers who she has not seen in years, are significantly older, and have a wolfy secret.

This novel had the potential to be a decent romance read based on the plot line, but unfortunately, very little in the story is particularly believable from the very beginning. Despite having had a car accident and being bit by a wolf, neither of these two events are really mentioned enough besides being the catalyst for her encountering the Whitmores again and having mild shoulder pain prior to some more steamy scenes. The dialogue is rather choppy and sometimes reads like what teenagers would say, and many of the plot twists are rushed or implausible. While I take no issue with more romantic interludes happening sooner rather than later, in this book, there seems to be no believable lead up. Similarly, she displays hesitance at becoming involved with all three brothers and this is never really resolved in a conversation. While it is mentioned that when she was young, the Whitmores were already significantly older, this is never brought up again or questioned why they look the same age. The subplots of her trying to build a resort and avoiding the Emmersons (another pack that aims to prevent her from bringing tourists up the mountain) are briefly and disconnectedly mentioned with a quick resolution that comes out of nowhere and is not really all that resolved.

Thanks to the publisher for an advance digital copy in exchange for a fair review.
