Ana Cordona has been a strong leader for the lupine shifters who survived after all the males and most of the females in her pack were mysteriously poisoned. As tough as she is, with no Alpha male, the pack is vulnerable to the devious shifter Sean Taggart, who wants to claim both their ranch and Ana as his own. When Connor Armstrong comes back into her life, promising protection, it's almost enough to make Ana forget how he walked out on her before--and reluctantly accept his offer to mate. The minute Connor sees Ana again, it reawakens a raw hunger. He must have her for his bondmate--his wolf cries out for it. But his human side knows he must proceed with caution because of their complicated past. If he is to truly have her body and soul, he must go beyond his burning desire and win back her heart. Whatever it takes, he is determined not to leave her side again. But Taggart and his rival pack are not their only enemies. A human element in town is targeting shifters. Their plan not only threatens Ana and Connor's future, but the lives of the entire pack...
It's been a long time since I have read a shifter romance. Alpha Instinct is an older one that came up on my Hoopla suggested reads recently, It was lightly edited and update last year. Ana and her pack have been surviving without an alpha but since her pack was devastated due to a mass poisoning, she knows she needs one to survive. Connor has made a strong pack and comes back to help Ana and offer her pack protection.
For the most part, I enjoyed this one. It is a bit darker than I was expecting. The romance was enjoyable. Although, I think that some of the conflict between Ana and Connor could have been cleared up very early on with just a conversation. There is a lot going on here with many side stories and I kind of felt like I was missing some back story. I do have to say thought, for a pack that knows it is in danger, they do not do a great job with security. One of the threats was eliminated very quickly and the other one was extremely obvious. I wish there was a little bit more mystery there. It's worth a read so give it a shot.
