Craved by an Alpha Eternal Mates Romance Series

When you find yourself loving every book that you have read by a particular author, it makes you question if he/she can continue to develop the quality stories you have come to expect. Well, once again Ms. Heaton has proven that she has the ability to keep delivering the type of stories that will keep her fans coming back for more. Her descriptive writing and attention to detail helps make her stories come alive. The first thing that jumped out at me when I received this book was the cover. It oozed sex appeal, power and strength. The second thing that got my attention was the first paragraph which reads Cavanaugh checked his watch. The coloured lights above the bar of Underworld flashed across the glass face in time with the thumping music, but didn’t stop him from seeing what he wanted. It was gone midnight. Four years and three hundred and fifty seven days had passed. In eight days, with the rising of the full moon, he would be a man without status. He couldn’t wait. I was curious to uncover why the hero would want to be a man without status. Who or what was motivating him to give up his position? Cavanaugh is a snow leopard shifter. He became the alpha for his pride on his father’s death, however, this was a position that he did not want. Being in this position meant he would have to give up on being with his fated mate. The archaic rules of the pride prevented a high ranking member to mate with a low ranking member. He decided to challenge the rules which saw him being away from the pride and his mate for several years. He only had eight days left to claim his mate, however unexpected turn of events was about to derail his plans. Eloise has loved Cavanaugh for a long time and she was devastated when he left. She knew based on the rules they could not be together, but she is willing to sacrifice her love if meant that the pride would be protected. It was to this end she went looking for him to convince him to return. What followed is a journey fraught with danger and passion. I liked how they worked together to reach their destination. The love between these two was evident throughout the pages of the book. Craved by an Alpha is a story that depicts that true love is all about making sacrifices. It shows that love means putting another person’s happiness above yours. This is the shortest book in the series so far and it can be read as a standalone. I love this series and I am looking forward to reading the next book. DISCLOSURE: I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Originally posted at Booklovers For Life This was a short, sexy, and sweet book about Cavanaugh and his mate. I was very much looking forward to Cavanaugh's story after having read the previous book in the Eternal Mates series. He's a bartender with a mysterious past, and we finally get to see what demons Cavanaugh hides in Craved by an Alpha. Fans of the series won't be disappointed with this latest installment from Felicity Heaton! Cavanaugh was formerly in the running to be the next alpha of his snow leopard pride, but becoming the alpha would have ruined his chances of being with the woman he loved, his fate mate Eloise. So Cavanaugh left his pride, left Eloise, to stay away until he was no longer in the running to be alpha and he had the chance to win back and claim his mate. Eight days were all that stood between him and claiming the mate he craved with all of his heart. Those eight days suddenly felt like forever. But Cavanaugh's plans change when Eloise suddenly appears where he works. Seeing her again awakens his need to claim her, but Eloise comes bearing bad news. The current alpha of their pride is bad news, and she wants Cavanaugh to come back and reclaim his rightful place as alpha. And because he can't resist her, Cavanaugh agrees to return, all the while fighting his impulses to claim his mate. He had no interest in being the alpha. The one thing he had craved in his life wasn't power or standing. It was her. She was the only thing that mattered to him. Eloise has always loved Cavanaugh, but when he left the pride, he hurt her badly and left her and the pride in the hands of a tyrant. Seeing him again brings back the chemistry that was always between them, though she tries to fight it. Eloise doesn't know that Cavanaugh left the pride to be with her, so they have a few bumps along the way on their journey before they can start on their happy ever after. I adored Eloise and Cavanaugh's romance! So heartbreaking yet romantic, my heart was swept away by the love between them. I do wish this book was longer – the plot went by really quickly, and the book ended before I even realized I had finished! Still, I highly enjoyed this book! If you're a fan of paranormal romances, you MUST read this series! It's wonderfully written, the characters are memorable and endearing, and it's hot and sexy. Felicity Heaton is definitely an author I'd recommend for PNR lovers. Quotes are taken from the ARC and are subject to change in the final version.
