A wolf with no claim. A disgrace to the wolves’ society. Never fit to be a mate for any wolf… Trash. Elodie Masters knows she is too weak to escape her life as a pack slave, a wolf with no claim and overall blight to the wolves’ precious society. When her pack is attacked, Elodie should have run, but instead she is kept by the Alpha Brothers. Ruthless. Cruel. Heartless brothers…or at least that’s … brothers…or at least that’s what everyone says about them.
And they were right.
The brothers don’t want her as a mate; they claim she is too weak to be anything…but they won’t let her go.
Yet sometimes strength hides in the weak, and you don’t see it coming until it literally bites you back.

Okay Bailey has totally outdone herself with the creation of this new series!! Elodie has lived her whole life thinking she has no wolf inside her or powers of her own. This has left her as essentially a slave but this all changes with the Alpha Brothers attack her pack taking it over as well as bringing her home with them. At their mercy she does as they say only to start to fall for them despite her best efforts as well as breaking all of their patterns as well. There is some incredible world building going here creating a world full of shifters that will keep you hooked until the very last page. I do cannot wait to see what happens next!!! I loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.
This was my first reverse harem story i think ive ever read and it was so freaking good!!! I had to google what that was because its super popular and i was like Oh its an orgi party!..But i was still wrong. It means one girl multiple guys love story. Lol. Not my cup of tea but omg the cover is beautiful. Im a sucker for wolf shifters romances. And this story had me at hello. I freaking loved it!!! It was amazing!! I devoured it so fast i preordered the next one! The story is amazing. It basically follows Elodie and her struggles as an outcast. A nobody. Her packs makes her feel inferior and she cant even shift. She goes From nothing to Prada. Enter the alpha brothers. *drools*And in the end she comes out on top. Way on top and is ready to take the world. The romance is truthful,steamy and beautiful. There is no M/M action ,they boys focus only on her! Get ready because it’s about to get real. The true Alpha Queen just said: Submit b*****!!
This was…unexpected. But I liked it very much. I kind of saw some things coming but I want to learn more. I feel like G. Bailey led us to a lot of things but she hasn’t given us specific answers. She might change up the entire thing in the second book! I want answers! I look forward to reading the next one!
Overall: 4/5
Holey Moley! That was fantastic. Elodie is such a strong character and her personality is so firey and fierce. The Alpha brothers are hot but they disappointed me with the way they treated her at the end. But hopefully they will redeem themselves and work things out in No Claim especially with the revelation at the end of this one. I can not wait to find out more and continue Elodie’s journey. I can’t wait for No Claim in January.
So well written that you’ll be begging for more!!! Elodie just makes your heart hurt. She’s been traumatized her whole existence and never loved nor cherished. She expects to be thrown away at any moment, it is how she has been taught to think because it continually happens. When she meets the 3 Alpha Bros., everything changes for her. She has to guard her heart as her body betrays her. She cannot survive in her world if she falls too hard. This had one huge plot twist and it turns everything upside down. I’m freaking out…. that ending will make you want to throw the book down!! Misunderstandings make for the best plot intrigue but also drive me insane!! Ms. Bailey is a master storyteller who evokes these strong feelings in her readers who are fiercely (and very happily) addicted to her words. She could write anything and we’d happily one click it
Loved this new series by G Bailey!
4-4.5 Stars for Book 1 in The Alpha Brothers series by G Bailey! The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 stars is because some scenes felt a little rushed/lacked detailed which would have elevated it to my top rating. Besides that, one of my favs of G Bailey’s.
In this new series, we get to meet Elodie and she is the scum of her pack because she has no claim and cannot shift. She is kidnapped from her pack and given this new life in the pack of the Alpha Brothers. I love how different each of the brothers are and have a soft spot for the younger ones (nothing wrong with Alpha, but he makes a stupid decision I know he will regret for awhile). I loved seeing Elodie get to experience different things she never had a chance to do. Loved the side scenes, like with the dead horses (they are alive but dead, don’t think I am weird please!), the library, the necklace/charm, etc. I liked the twists in this book and am excited to see where G Bailey goes with the story in Book 2 in January (which cant come soon enough!!). I am intrigued by the new characters introduced at the end with the other pack and wonder how they will play with the Alpha Brothers.
I will say that there were some dark moments in it, which I like seeing G Bailey go outside of her comfort zone, but I think it could have been pushed more if some of those scenes added some more detail or feelings from the characters. I hope we get more POVs in Book 2, loved getting to see the Alpha Brothers interact with each other in their minds.
Definitely recommend this series, already preordered Book 2! I need to know what happens next, especially with River, Elodie, and the Alpha Brothers
*** I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review***
OMG this was an amazing new series from the talented G Bailey! I was not sure what to expect when I read this was a dark romance, but it was amazing! This book was written so well that I not only fell in love with the characters, but it left me wanting more. I know the next book is supposed to be out in a couple weeks but OMG… I cant wait!
Elodie is nothing to her own pack, but these three brothers come along who believe she is everything, but they don’t exactly tell her right away. She is thrown into this new world where these three men want to share her. Yes you read that correctly… this is also a reverse harem series. Alpha, Alaric, and Letric are the three brothers who are all alphas and will accept anyone even if they are a no claim wolf. They are sexy and terrifying at the same time. Elodie has her hands full with these three men.
OMG That ending has me like …. WhAT?!!?! So good. G Bailey really knows how to make everyone hanging and wanting the next book in the series. Seriously! I cannot wait! I need to know what happens. I am currently sitting here trying to think of all the different ways this will play out! I needed the next book in the series like yesterday!
Elodie is awesome. She has been treated as the lowest of the low, but has not let that break her. She rolls with the punches and keeps on going. This does have some dark elements, but it also has a focus on relationships too. I didn’t see the ending coming, and really want to read Book 2 to find out what happens next!
Loved the concept, but it all felt very rushed. And for a dark romance, this one is fairly mild.
Also, part of the ending didn’t make sense to me. Eloide has never shifted, but the Xan Alpha days a beating will bring it out. But wasn’t it mentioned that she had been beaten before, by her former pack?
Besides that though, I am really looking forward to seeing what happens next. I seriously loved that ending!
NA is meant to be a dark romance, but it read, in my opinion, more of a semi dark romance, leaning on the dark & light side. Don’t get me wrong, I love everything G. Bailey writes.
For me, it felt like in the beginning, E has given up on life but when she meets the Alpha Brothers, E transformed into a new person who has a new purpose in life. I, also, felt like the story went by real quick like this & that happened as opposed to leading up to it. Because of the little cliffhanger at the end, I really can’t wait to read the final book in this duology No Claim!
Elodie and her Alphas have a dark and twisted relationship, but you won’t be able to keep yourself from rooting for things to go a ‘certain’ way. Want to know what that way is? Read No Alpha and find out for yourself!
No spoilers of any kind included except this and that is there’s a cliffhanger at the end of this story.
But other than that I thought this book was awesome!
There’s plenty of action and steam all throughout the whole story which kept me interested in the book.
G. Bailey definitely knows how to keep her readers hooked with the way she weaves her stories, which is probably why she’s one of my favorite authors.
So yes I most definitely do recommend this book to anyone who’s searching for a fantastic story to climb into and get totally lost within its pages.
Oh.My.Fu****g book hangover! *stomping my foot like a 4 year old* I don’t know how I’ll survive until the next book.
The author delivered a kick butt story as usual. The book just sucked you in and wouldn’t let go. I read it in one gulp.
I highly recommend this book.
This is a dark romance from G. Bailey. There are descriptions of past abuse, and there is some violence. There are a lot of allusions to what happened with past abuse, rather than explicit memories. In the way of dark novels, if you’re looking for dark, I’m not sure this is it. When I read this, I was looking for dark (not dubcon/noncon, but dark throughout), and it didn’t quite fit for me. Don’t get me wrong, it was a fantastic story; the author knows how to evoke emotion from you throughout. If you’re looking for something with dark elements (rather than dark throughout), than this will likely fit the bill. There are a lot of dark points, and it is darker than most of the author’s other books, but I feel like the blurb almost sells it as darker than it is. That could be from a marketing/publicity point, in that the author wants the audience to be aware that this isn’t her normal book.
Personally, I think it felt less dark than maybe it is because the author did such a good job of integrating the darker elements of the book (mainly the violence, rather than abuse) into the shifter culture within the book. The culture, the violence, is simply that way because it’s expected to be. By nature, shifters in literature are seen as volatile, emotional, and passionate creatures. The author makes it feel like, naturally, violence is going to be part of their order of hierarchy, so it never feels gratuitous. It just feels how the characters are and what’s seen as normal. For me, that’s just a credit to the author that you get immersed within the book and quickly. One of the really strong points for this author is that she knows how to world build and immerse you within that world, whether that’s Protected by Dragons, Her Guardians, Demon’s Fall, Forest Pack, The Alpha Brothers, etc. You’re thrown straight into that world.
From a character and relationship aspect, it felt more like this book was establishing everything. It was, perhaps, a bit slower-paced because of it, but you do learn a lot about the characters. This book is on the short side, but it doesn’t feel short, though it does leave you with a cliffhanger. The second book is out, though, so I went straight onto it.
