My Review

I stumbled across "Alpha Attacked" during one of my late-night audiobook browsing sessions, and as someone who practically lives for urban fantasy and shifter romances, I was immediately intrigued. You know how sometimes you just need that perfect blend of supernatural drama and modern-day shenanigans? That's exactly what I was hoping for. Let me tell you, darlings, this book definitely delivers on the contemporary urban fantasy front. I absolutely adored how the author wove supernatural elements into a present-day setting – they even mentioned Dexter! As someone who binge-watches crime shows while eating chocolate-covered almonds (my guilty pleasure), these modern references made everything feel more grounded and relatable. The chemistry between our main characters, Maeve and Griffin, sparked some interest, though I wish it had been a bit more electric. Griffin is your typical alpha male werewolf – you know the type, all broody and protective – while Maeve brings her medical expertise to the table. The whole ER-doctor-meets-supernatural-world scenario had so much potential! However, I have to be honest with you (because that's just who I am). The pacing felt a bit rushed at times, like watching someone try to squeeze into skinny jeans two sizes too small – it just doesn't quite work. And while I usually love a good enemies-to-lovers situation, some of Maeve's initial attitudes, particularly toward patients seeking pain relief, left a bitter taste in my mouth. What I did enjoy was the world-building and the secondary characters. There's this whole pack dynamic that adds layers to the story, and some of the side characters absolutely stole the show. I found myself wanting to know more about them, which I suppose is good news since this is apparently part of a series. Would I recommend it? Well, if you're looking for a light, entertaining paranormal romance with modern flair, this could be your cup of tea (or in my case, spiced chai latte with extra foam). It's not going to change your life, but it's a decent escape from reality. Just don't expect too much depth or profound character development. ⭐⭐⭐ (3 out of 5 stars) P.S. The audiobook narration was quite good, though I had to speed it up a bit – life's too short for slow narration, wouldn't you agree?

Book Description

This wolf is biting the bullet of love. Working in the ER, Maeve has seen some weird stuff, like the guy with numerous gunshot wounds who literally hops off the operating table and walks out. Which isn’t as strange as the people who claim they saw a wolf running out the main doors of the hospital. All par for the course on a full-moon shift. What Maeve doesn’t know is she saved the life of the local Alpha. Griffin is tough, and those who tried to kill him will regret their failure, because he is now out for revenge. The problem is identifying the enemy. Is it the rival wolf gang over the river, or a stranger trying to steal his Pack? The answer appears to be tangled up with the doctor who operated on him. A woman with a delectable scent—and secrets. What does Maeve have to do with the violence targeting his Pack? And what will the sexy doctor say when she realizes he doesn’t just howl in bed?
