Ruthless Alpha

Shadowed Heirs, Book 1

By: C.J. Primer

Narrated by: Armand Lane, Jesca Goode

Sloane Masters was my first everything.

My first friend, my first kiss, my first love.

My first heartbreak.

My only one, because Sloane didn't just break my heart, she tore it from my chest, threw it on the ground, and crushed it beneath her heel.

There's nothing in my chest now but a gaping hole where it used to be; the echo of a memory of what it was like to actually feel something.

Who's the real villain, the one without a heart or the one who rips out someone else's?

Food for f--king thought, right there.

Sloane walked out of my life eight years ago, and in the wake of her departure, people say I turned cold. Callous. Ruthless. But now she's suddenly back, crashing into my life like a hurricane and upending everything I've built since she's been gone. Worst of all, she acts as though things can go back to the way they were before and we can just pick up where we left off. She's wrong. She'll learn soon enough that I'm not the lovesick boy she once left behind, and I'll never forgive her for the way she left.

Whoever said time heals all wounds was a liar.

***Ruthless Alpha is book one in the Shadowed Heirs series, a collection of paranormal romance novels centered around six aligned packs of wolf shifters. These books contain mature content (steamy scenes!), frequent use of profanity, and darker themes. While each book in the series concludes with a HEA and no major cliffhangers, there are some loose ends concerning the overarching storyline that runs throughout the entire five-book series. Each individual book is a standalone, but the series is best heard in order.

love the story

Even though I absolutely love this story, I felt like the narrators didn't do it justice. Their tones were monotonous throughout most of the narration, and you couldn't really tell apart the different characters during the dialogs.

Incredible audio!!!

I LOVE this book, but the audio just brought it to life in an entirely new way! Both narrators did an amazing job, I’ll be listening to this one again, no question! Full five stars all around!

mac

stubborn man went thru alot to get back to his mate but he finally found happiness

Cringe

I’m sorry but I just don’t jive with this type of writing/story. It was so OTT cringy that I caught myself laughing at the more serious parts. On top of that, this dude was so obsessed with something he thought he had the right to possess (ie the FC) when he was like 16, that he made that one event his lifetime obsession and ruination. That’s the most cringy part of it all and I do not find that sexy nor cute. I’m guessing this is more of an upper YA type series intended for high school seniors trying to NLOG their way into a dudes heart.
