The issues of birthin'/Another two-for


17878042BirthRight by Sydney Addae

When you’re the top wolf on the continent with the backing of the Goddess, how does an enemy topple your kingdom? By challenging you to a fight? No. By changing the rules.

After three hundred years of fighting and service to the Goddess, Silas Knight is the Patron, Alpha to the Alphas on the North American continent. As the top wolf, he fears little and has seen most things. But when he discovers someone or something has been quietly disturbing the natural order of things, he’s surprised. Certain human women have the ability to birth fully functioning wolves, and that’s a major problem.

Jasmine Bennett has no idea her deceased husband was a wolf shifter or that her twin sons are shifters. Her life changes when she rushes to her son’s bedside after he’s wounded in Afghanistan
and returned stateside. Now her life’s in danger because of her ability to give birth to a breed of beings she never knew existed.

Jasmine Bennett has no idea her deceased husband was a wolf shifter or that her twin sons are shifters. Her life changes when she rushes to her son’s bedside after he’s wounded in Afghanistan and returned stateside. Now her life’s in danger because of her ability to give birth to a breed of beings she never knew existed.

After sending out a mating call which Silas answered, Jasmine’s pregnant and depressed. Her life has spiraled out of control. Silas is angry that his first “litter of pups” are half breeds. A group of human breeders offer her a chance to leave Silas, offering a strange brand of protection. When a human breeder enters the compound using a weapon the wolves are helpless against, Silas and Jasmine understand the true meaning of Birth Control.

These are the first two books in the La Patron series and I found the overall premise interesting (and the download inexpensive) enough to keep reading from book one to two. There is at least one more book in the series but I've decided to end it here mostly because I can live with where I left the story. I will say I did have some issues with the writing, much of which could have been cured with only a small amount of semi-careful proof reading. I am no English teacher and am willing to let a lot go but when you confuse someone who rode in a car with someone who road in a car, I am going to call you out on it. There were a few more problem areas but I did not let that deter me from my enjoyment of the larger story. If you like a Wolfie story every now and then, you might consider giving this one a try. It has enough uniqueness to make up for the areas lacking.
