This was my first time reading anything from this series, and I'm really glad that I took a chance on it. It exciting, intriguing, full of action, and steam. The characters while being likeable have so much depth their personalities, and it comes across in their interactions. It just kept me reading.<br /><br />I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Alpha Rising tells the story of how Dimitri came to Bull Creek and a bit about its founding. Alpha Rising explores the nature of an Alpha and what exactly a good alpha is supposed to be. This story reads a little like a prequel as it leaves you wanting more.

The great plot was well written and the characters were so well developed that as I turned each page the chemistry between the characters kept me totally hooked until the very last page!<br /><br />I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I have really become a fan of this author and I'm going to try read the rest of this series as well as the next one with Magic's Mate in it

Extremely well written. Realistic characters. Loads of steamy scenes that keep you on the edge of your seats. I can’t wait till the next in the series.

Fantastic book with amazing characters that have you wanting more. Well written and very entertaining. ❤️??

There are three alphas, each with their own agenda, but all with an eye on ruling Bull Creek. Neal Porter found his destined mate and has lost focus on his calling as alpha of Bull Creek. The inhabitants are suffering with the lack of attention, and the Paranormal Council wants him replaced with someone of their choosing. Dimitri Everest, part of Draven Falls, is tired of his father making his life decisions for him as he did for his brother by arranging a marriage for him. It is time for him to leave, and the Council would love him to go to Bull Creek and fulfill his destiny. There is still a third alpha involved as well, ruling Bull Creek from the shadows, and he has no intention of letting go. In fact, his plans are to run the humans out of there and put Neal Porter firmly in his power. So which way will this go? Dimitri is the best candidate, and the story will focus there. Dimitri will have a struggle in getting Bull Creek where it needs to be, but he can also unify the people into a tight community and draw them in to help make things right again.<br /><br />This was a good book and gave a great deal of information about how things work and the importance of the alpha who leads. The story line is good, and the tension about who might come out on top keeps the reader involved. The characters are well fleshed out and there is a pull toward wanting Dimitri to be successful. Will he be able to bring back the tight community of family and friends that has suffered from poor leadership? Grab your copy and find out.<br />

I really enjoyed this story. It isn't long, but it does pack a lot into the pages. From family issues, to friendship, to stepping out on your own, Dimitri has to discover what he is really made of. It also sets the future of not only this series, but the "Destined Mate's" series well. I now know some of the answers I had to questions stemming from my reading of Magic's Mate, and a little more about some of the people in the town. The Destined Mates really showcase some characters while briefly mentioning others. It seems like this series will flesh out some of those other character's main stories. <br /><br />Compared to the Destined Mate's series, this book has less sexy time, but more information. I like the subtle differences between this series and the next, even though it has the same voice and overall cadence. Which obviously it would since it is set in the same world, and is by the same author. One thing this book that caused me to pause was the question about alphas. I never thought about it before, but what happens when a female goes from one alpha to being mated to what could be another alpha.  Who is her alpha? Who does she acknowledge as her leader? I guess for whatever reason it hasn't come up in other books or if it has, I didn't pay close enough attention. Well if you had a question about that, this book will lead you to some answers.
