Savannah and Dom are swoon worthy!! They really balanced each other out and were really able to heal together. There was some very delicate subject matter in this book and the author was able to handle everything very well without making it feel like cheap book fodder. She did really well. The villain was easy to hate and the ending was perfect. I am sad it’s over because I truly enjoyed this book!
Rising Alpha (The Fated Mates Series Book 1) by Jen L. Grey is a story that I have absolutely loved reading very much. This is book number one in this series that I have fallen so in love with that I can not get enough of. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about paranormal romances as much as I do.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Great book and fast paced! Savannah finds herself and brings out the other women other pack and they become stronger together. Dom has his own issues but together they make a great team!
What a great book from Jen L. Grey! I really enjoyed it. I liked the subtle, yet different takes on how most people portray wolves. I enjoyed the dynamic between the characters. The sex scenes were tasteful and short and sweet, but enjoyable. Overall, it was a great story and a great plot.
On what a gem this was. I finally got to sit down and dive into this. I couldn’t put it down. I’m a huge fan of wolf shifters anyways but this was so good. Savannah and Dom perfectly balance each other’s alpha dominance out. I love the broken and beaten rise to leadership on both sides of this relationship.
An amazing story of overcoming oppression and learning to love! Grey isn’t afraid to tackle difficult issues and Savannah was the perfect medium. She’s fierce, selfless, and determined to not only stand up for herself, but others more vulnerable than her. I love the tension between her and Dom and his “partnership” approach had me swooning and falling for his character along with Savannah. I loved the female shifters, especially Shelly, and the confrontations and action were exciting and very well-written. I was drawn into the story from the first pages and loved watching the transformative journey of both Savannah and the other female wolves. As a fan of Grey’s work, this is her best yet and I can’t wait for more from this world!
Who doesn’t love a wolf shifter story? I absolutely enjoyed reading this and cannot wait to see where the story goes. As much as I love an alpha man, there is just something special about a guy who instead of immediately wanting to “fix” everything for her, works alongside his partner to keep her safe and happy. There’s no ‘here little lady let me do the heavy lifting’, instead it’s ‘tell me what you need from me and it’s yours’. I love Dom!! He is such a loveable character, and the perfect match for Savannah.
Rising Alpha is different from other books that Jen L Grey has written. However, the story is of the same quality as her other works. Savanna and Dom come together in some trigger worthy moments and learn to lead in ways that Jen has not done before. It’s a refreshing read for fans of her fantasy.
Sick of being beaten, raped and treated like dirt by those meant to protect them, Savannah and 3 other females make a break for it with the help of a male stranger.
This book is a love story…not only between Savannah and Dom, but between friends and pack members.
If you love shifter stories….this one is highly recommended.
I really enjoyed this book! It had just the right amount of realism vs fantasy.
Jen has written another master piece with Rising Alpha. The characters are great and I loved reading their growth through out the book. The women got stronger and I loved reading that. Dom was awesome I loved him a lot and Savannah was the perfect mate for him.
This book was just amazing. Loved Savannah!!!! Definite must read

As you read this you see what they have to go thru to save the pack of ladies from a very bad situation. Will they be able to stand up to the evil that’s chasing them or the be defeated? Awesome read that will having you trying to guess what happens and falling for these two while they try and fight their connection.Can’t wait for the next one

4 stars for Rising Alpha by Jennifer Grey. I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review. In this book we have Savannah and Dom. Savannah has had it rough and is being forced to marry the Alpha of the pack she is now a part of. Dom has no desire to be an alpha again. Everything changes the second they find their fated mates. This book for me is different from any other shifter books I have read. In normal shifter books the women are treated like gold. In this book, the women are in this pack are being treated like crap. They are being forced to mate, raped and violent beatings. Savannah becomes the strength for these women. What will happen when the alpha won’t give up. I liked this book and look forward to reading more.
Action packed!! I love how this book draws you in from the very beginning. I was so connected to the characters and wanted to know their story. Overcoming adversity and their own fears as love takes over!!
This is my first Jen L Grey book and she did NOT disappoint! From the start I was enthralled by Savannah and Dom’s story. This story is filled with unique twists and turns and steamy love match between Fated Mates, Savannah and Dom.
If you love shifter series and are looking for a new take I highly recommend checking out Rising Alpha! This unique shifter romance is a must read!
This book is one you don’t want to miss!
Rising Alpha is a paranormal shifter romance. The author introduces readers to a young woman shifter by the name of Savannah first. Savannah is about to be mated to a poor excuse for an alpha. He’s a monster and abusive to the other women in the pack and has no qualms taking what it is that he wants. Savannah escaped from being mated to someone like him before, but it seems like this time will regrettably be different. That is until she crosses paths with a loner shifter who has come with a pack representative from another group. Dom has his own past but based on it he doesn’t want a pack, he doesn’t want a mate, and the last thing he wants is to be responsible for anyone other than himself. But once he sets his eyes on Savannah their connection can’t be denied. So when one brutal attack finally is the straw that breaks Savannah’s back (not literally) things will get put in motion that there won’t be any coming back from.
Rising Alpha by Jen L. Grey is a fast-paced paranormal shifter romance. The author expertly gives us background on the main characters in this story in exactly the right places. Savannah has been through a lot but her spirit has never been broken. Understandably when she makes the decision to run and Dom offers to help she’s hesitant. But I’m glad that she doesn’t let what she has been through cloud her to doing what is best. She doesn’t lose her head to the fated mate attraction that looms between them. There are moments of where they resist the pull, but it is only when it is most necessary. But I have to admit that I’m glad that they don’t put up a huge fight about it. But everything isn’t sunshine and carefree moments. Kevin, the evil alpha coward, is angry and intent on reclaiming what is “his.” But I love that there is more going on behind the scenes that come out later in this story.
There isn’t much that I don’t like about this book. I’m honestly surprised at this. Haha! I honestly thought that I’d get annoyed when attitudes started flying about and when certain situations lacked the “ideal” reaction, but I understand that it adds to the story and shows the characters in a more realistic setting. Now, I will say that this book might not be for everyone. There are references to abuse and beatings so this might not be a book for those who choose to avoid that. I will say that there aren’t any scenes of where this openly happens, it is simply referenced and shown in the recovery/healing of certain characters. There are some sexual situations, but there is nothing graphic and the scenes aren’t very long. They are just the right amount for this book.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. I truly enjoyed this book. This book flows from beginning to end and captivates the reader as the author flows back and from between Dom’s perspective to Savannah’s perspective. The reader gets a HEA all around as well. If you enjoy this author’s work and are a fan of paranormal romance then I think that this book is a good fit for you.
I really enjoyed this book. Good strong characters with believable personalities and relatable life circumstances.
