Justified  (Alfha Law #1) Novella

Blurb

After the first sighting, he’s fascinated.

After the first smile, he’s infatuated.

By the first kiss, he’s obsessed.

Nolan sees Chloe through a window of a bakery in downtown Manhattan. At first sight, something about her calls to a piece of him he thought was lost. Without thinking, he begins watching her, and when the moment presents itself, he strikes, claiming Chloe for himself. For a man who is used to getting what he wants Nolan wont let anyone or anything stand in his way.

Review

All readers know that Aurora Rose Reynolds knows how to write sexy as hell alpha males who are domineering, a bit obsessive, and completely possessive. The male hero, Nolan, in her newest release, Justified, definitely has alpha like tendencies, but to me, his actions and attitude border more on being an asshole than being an alpha, which may be due to his profession as a lawyer or his need for constant control, especially when it comes to his obsession with Chloe. Or, it may just be because that’s who he is. I didn’t feel like I really received a full view of everything that made Nolan who he was today, which left me feeling a bit conflicted and made it hard to like him.

Because Justified is such a quick read, it’s hard to establish a connection with Nolan or change one’s perceptions of him. Simply put, if readers get a negative vibe from his over the top tendencies then it’s going to be hard to change that view before the story is over, and unfortunately, that’s exactly how I felt. I wanted to like Nolan; I kept trying to find the silver lining in his personality, but just when I thought he was breaking through, he says or does something that leaves me just as confused as I was about him at the beginning.

I’m also a bit on the fence as to how I feel about Chloe. It’s hard to really form a solid opinion of her because readers don’t get her perspective and we see her on a regular basis bend to Nolan’s every command, rarely seeing her as an independent person.

It’s not that I hated Justified. I guess I’m just used to meatier storylines and bossy but also sweet alpha males from Reynolds, and I felt like this book didn’t hit that mark. I will tell you though that the sex is out of this world hot…Nolan is definitely at expert at using his filthy mouth and body to give pleasure to the woman he loves. There’s also a bit of suspense mixed in as well, which is sure to catch readers’ attention.

Will my so-so feelings about Justified turn me off of any future books by Aurora Rose Reynolds – ABSOLUTELY NOT! She’s a phenomenal writer who has created amazing characters and storylines, and she will continue to do so. The fact that she openly admits that Justified is going to have a split readership because of Nolan shows me that she’s willing to take risks even if readers not necessarily agree with them because she’s staying true to herself as a writer, and I LOVE that!

A complimentary copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.

Excerpt

“GET UP,” I tell Chloe as I walk into the bedroom.
“For what?” she asks, looking at me from over the top of her

Kindle, not moving.
“You’re not going to lie around and pout all day. Now, get

up.”
“I’m not pouting.” She frowns.
I shake my head, walk over to her, rip the Kindle out of her

hand, and toss it onto a chair across the room.
“Hey! I was reading that,” she complains, crossing her arms

over her chest and glaring at me.
“I don’t know what happened to my submissive little Angel,

but I’m telling you now—what you’re going to be doing is getting undressed, getting on your knees, opening that pretty mouth of yours, and sucking my cock until I tell you to stop. Then, if you’re good, I will eat your little pussy until you come,” I growl, pulling her out of bed. “When I’ve had my fill of your taste, you’re going to climb up on my cock and ride me until we both come.”
