✱✱ Book Review ✱✱ Alec by Candace Ayers

If you're a fan of Candace Ayers' Bears of Burden, then you're going to love the spin-off series, She-Shifters of Hell's Corner. I just finished the first book in the series, Alec, and I'm excited to see where this series goes!

Carter Ray has vowed off men. She and her daughter, Jellybean, have found refuge in the mostly female-populated town of Helen’s Corner. She wants nothing to do with the visiting wolf shifter, despite his wickedly delicious scent that drives her bear into a frenzy. 

The last thing Alec Patterson expected to find in the small southwestern town was his mate. Now, what’s he supposed to do with his fiancée?

NOTE: In the late 1800’s, on a homestead in New Mexico, a female shifter named Helen Cartwright was widowed under mysterious circumstances. 
Helen knew there was power in the feminine bonds of sisterhood, and she provided an oasis for those like herself, female shifters who had been dealt the short end of the stick. 
Like magic, women have flocked to the tiny town of Helen’s Corner ever since. Although, nowadays, some call the town by another name, Hell’s Crazy Corner.



Alec is available on Amazon and is listed in Kindle Unlimited



Momma Says: 5 out of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As far as series starters go, this one is a winner. Candace Ayers has done a great job of introducing the characters in small town, Helen's Corner and the more I read, the more I understood the second name, Hell's Crazy Corner. The story is engaging and fun, the characters are unique, and the dialogue is witty and often quite funny.
Carter is not looking for a relationship, let alone a mate, when she sees Alec for the first time and the stress that causes her makes for some mishaps in her daily life. Of course, Alec's situation doesn't help matters and what follows is a crazy few days for this pair as well as some serious heat, both in and out of the kitchen.
There were several great scenes in this one, but to go into them would give spoilers. I will say that I laughed out loud more than once and I did cheer a bit at the end of chapter 22 - I couldn't help myself. Of course, you'll have to read it to find out why. 😏
