In Taming the Alpha Claudia finally gets bought as a bride. But is it as a true bride or as a favor for Karl's sister in law, Claudia's best friend Avelyn. Claudia has been lonely since her friends have been gone from Alma Venus. She fears she may never be bought. Karl has put off buying a mate, fearing no one could really love him when, if they find out his history. At times this book is very sad, but perseverance and trust win out.

An emotional roller coaster worth the read.

I really enjoyed this book, even though it's 4th in the series you can read it as stand alone. But you will get spoilers about previous characters, which is fine for me as I read so much I will forget.
The story was short and sweet, I read it over my daily commute. The plot was well written and kept me intrigued, the characters were fun and sexy with some drama. Claudia will need to get to the bottom of Karl Blackmane's issues of why he doesn't want to be seen or touched while naked. Why he is afraid to share his feelings with her. You'll start to care and wonder yourself as you read the story. Will they end up mating and spending their lives together and will they get their HEA?

Claudia is the last of her room-mates standing! The others have found their mates and are even having children. She has been trained as a bear-shifters bride but her match may be just what she never dreamt of. She is placid and tame and doesn't think much of her own attributes but she may be just what this alpha needs!

Karl Blackmane learned of Claudia from Avelyn, his sister in law. She may be just what his unruly beast needs to calm down. He has always been fearful his other half would get away from him and he would destroy his love. But is keeping Claudia arms length the way to do it. He will only touch Claudia when she's tied up and blindfolded cos he's not just ugly on the inside, he has external scars too. Will Claudia continue to want him when she finds out the truth he has been trying to redeem himself from?

Claudia is just the balm that Karl needs! He's so fearful of letting his beast loose and Claudia is obviously the centre and anchor he needs. Wonderfully written and enjoyable story!
