ARC Review – The Care and Feeding of an Alpha Male (Bluebonnet #2) by Jessica Clare

Description:
Beth Ann needed a hero…

Beth Ann Williamson has finally had it with her on-and-off fiancé of nine years. The problem? No one in town seems to believe her when she says it’s really over. Now Beth Ann is determined to show the small town of Bluebonnet, Texas, that she can take care of herself. That means opening her own salon and not taking the help that her ex-fiancé seems determined to offer.

Of course, even the best laid plans go awry when she’s stranded in the woods in the middle of a downpour. Some independent woman she is. She can’t even find her way out of the woods without the help of a handsome, but scowling, Marine.

She got more than she bargained for…

A die-hard survivalist, Colt Waggoner’s none too pleased when he’s sent to find the town’s pampered princess. He’s even more annoyed when Beth Ann isn’t grateful for the rescue. Fine, then. He’ll just have to teach the sexy blonde a lesson–a weekend of roughing it out in the wild. Just the two of them, alone, in muddy, wet clothing that needs to come off…

But Beth Ann isn’t the spoiled princess he thought. And when she propositions him for a one night stand, he knows he should turn it down. Because this alpha male might need more than just one night in her bed to satisfy him.

Have you ever realized you weren’t being YOU or you don’t know who YOU are anymore? Well Beth Ann Williamson has and has absolutely had it being who others want her to be, being loyal to her boyfriend of nine years regardless of how many times he has cheated on her.  She has started on her own path to independence and is not going to let anyone stop her, including her ex and her parents.

Colt Waggoner, aka “one of those white trash Waggoners”, left town years ago to make something of his life.  He has returned to Bluebonnet, TX to work with his friends Dane and Grant in their survivalist training business.

Stranded in the woods in the middle of a down pour Beth Ann finds she cannot resist the sexual magnetism of Colt. She tells him she wants a one night stand and Colt happily complies.  The chemistry between these two is scorching hot!  Once Colt and Beth Ann return to civilization they find one night was not enough. Colt realizes he has feelings for Beth Ann but is concerned he will not measure up because as far as Bluebonnet is concerned he is still one of those “white trash Waggoners”.  Beth Ann doesn’t care she just wants Colt but the town, her parents and her ex will do anything it takes to keep her away from Colt and get her back with her ex.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Colt and Beth Ann.  Beth Ann didn’t realize she had a sensual and naughty side until she was with Colt, once she did man o man did she embrace it with abandon.  Colt has got to be one of my all time favorite heroes, he is sexy, tender, protective, possessive and loves Beth Ann just as she is.  The things that occur in this book with birthday cake will run through my mind and make me fan myself every time I see a birthday cake, good gawd almighty!!!

One thing that I truly enjoyed about this book is that on top of being a sweet, sexy erotic romance, The Care and Feeding of an Alpha Male, is not rushed and it doesn’t feel forced.  This is an erotic romance that actually has “romance” in it and the HEA doesn’t come in just a few days. THANK YOU for that Ms. Clare!

The Care and Feeding of An Alpha Male is an extremely sweet and HOT romance, Colt and Beth Ann are lovable, strong and sexy. The story line is funny, sweet, sexy, with just enough conflict and a twist to the story I never ever saw coming. The secondary cast are great, I loved seeing Dean, Miranda, Brenna and Grant.  I love Brenna, her quirky ways and how she lives to torment Grant.  I am crossing my fingers that we get a story for Grant and Brenna soon, I have a feeling it will be off the charts hot!

Jessica Clare is fast becoming one of my favorite authors.
