Alpha Wolf Shifters in Love: An MPreg Romance Collection, Tara Harris

The full collection is sweet and full of insta-love, fated mates, and overcoming obstacles.  While there is one story that stands out as being better than the others, the whole group still fits together with reconciliations, steam, and happy-ever-afters.

Wolf's Sweet Chipmunk-

This was my favorite of the three.  I bought this as a standalone a couple years ago and read it super quickly (it's not available on its own anymore though).  With an alternating point of view and a fantastic alpha, this had a lot of believability in the relationship, their happiness, and their struggle.  College should be a time for discovery and acceptance but for both James and Earnest, there's a whole lot standing in their way.  A fated meeting puts them into one another's orbit and as if they'd found the place they were always meant to be, they stand together and fight for the future they deserve.  I loved how things worked out; hearts were softened, Earnest found immense success despite being a previously undervalued omega, and James remained strong for the both of them.  The uncles were awesome as well giving the whole story a well-rounded feel as well as depth.  4 stars.

Wolf and Bunny-

So...not my favorite.  The individual characters weren't likable, the separation didn't do anything but to continue the angst, and their relationship was built on one night of passion that ended with pregnancy.  I didn't feel anything genuine about the fated mating, witness any attitude changes, nor did I see any solid foundation for a stable relationship.  With an ending that felt a bit too "perfect timing" and over the top, it was kind of a throwaway.  There was a lot of potential here but just not enough to carry it out in the end.  2 stars.

To Catch a Sheep-

I rather enjoyed the dynamic in this one and the surprise of biology was kind of intriguing.  I really didn't see that coming at all.  I've never read another mpreg story with that in it.  While there could have been a lot more in the way of building a relationship together and more description of the uniting of clan and kingdom, it was an overall nice story with a lot of passion.  There was one event that was added to increase the drama and it felt unneeded.  Instead, the original conflict with their shared unpleasant history could have been given a little more attention and finesse as they navigated that to build something.  With more of an objective eye during editing and beta reading, this could have been a really great story.  It would even benefit from a slight reworking and lengthening.  I'd read it again if that happened.  3 stars.
