I was forced to forge a false mate bond with the Cursed Alpha, my exiled stepbrother, the scarred monster whose ancient spell could only be broken by his true fated mate.

I hated him, feared him, yet the moment our bodies entwined, a forbidden fire consumed us both, awakening my hidden wolf and revealing the impossible: I am his true mate, the one destined to shatter his curse forever.

Now, with our secret son binding us in ways I never imagined, vengeance and passion collide. Can I embrace the alpha who claims my soul, or will the secrets of my stolen bloodline destroy the family we’ve fought to protect?

My Rating:  4.5 stars

I enjoyed Rejected by My Stepbrother Alpha King.  It’s definitely a fast-paced Shifter Romance with a couple who kept my attention glued to my Kindle.  Fate is a fickle thing, and sometimes the absolutely unexpected person is that perfect fit for you.  Eliara and Kael have a complicated past… and an almost convoluted future, one they need to break free of to find their own true fate bond.  Their future happiness and the fate of their child depend on their coming to terms with what came before and what could be.  Their story is complex in many ways, and quite simple in others.  Even though silent up to this time, fate has had a hand in their lives, combining at this point… and putting down the evil that manipulates and contrives for its own power is the first step toward freedom.

Rejected by My Stepbrother Alpha King is intriguing, definitely steamy, with a couple you’ll find it hard not want them to find their way to their eventual happiness.  The villain is vile beyond compare, and I couldn’t wait to see justice done to them.  Emotions run high, and so does the danger both Eliara and Kael and their son face, as walls tumble, truths come to light, and fate finally resolves itself. An emotional, enjoyable journey that I would not hesitate to recommend.  If you love your Shifter Romances filled with emotions, passion, and danger, then you’d love this one.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the author or the author’s team via Booksprout, and I sincerely thank them for their trust. It is my choice to leave a review, giving my personal opinion about this book.*

**Just a side note, perhaps to myself only, but I’m a bit confused on titles within this series, as I had thought at least one was part of another… at least, it was listed that way when I researched the information.  Now, I’m confused, but I will let it stand until I can figure it out in more detail and will adjust accordingly.**
