(2.5 Stars)Plot Synopsis: Cranky, difficult, and loner sheriff who is also a Beta werewolf finds his mate in a twenty-one year virgin witch whose Aunt hates all were. However, witches are coming up missing and slaughtered. Who will be next?Okay, here's the thing, Werewolves are my favorite paranormal creature; so, most books with them will keep me entertained. However, "A Mate for the Beta," is purely pornography with a minor plot. While I liked the characters, I was so hoping for more. There was little action and not enough werewolf shifting for me. In the end, I moderately liked the book and I'm unsure as to whether or not I will read book two. Could have been so much better.I was going to start reading this book as soon as I'd downloaded it since the blurb sounded great but then I checked the reviews and they were very mixed so I put it to one side, for over a week I kept flicking past it on my kindle then I just decided to go for it, I have to say the reviews were right, all of them, the good and the bad.I love shifter books an I liked the idea of this, the big sheriff and the little witch, a town with mixed shifters, humans and witches, so much potential for future books, so I agree with all the reviews that liked this but I also have to agree with the review which pointed out the conversations were unrealistic and the repetition was too much. Now as a rule I love dual POV books but in this book getting Alec's point of view made it difficult to view him as a man or a shifter all I could think was thirteen year old boy and I found myself skipping over parts of his conversations, and not just his, Liv's as well because it was, well, embarrassing, I was cringing for them which is not a feeling I want when I'm reading a romance. Will I read the rest of the series? I'm going to read the next book 'Mate for the Alpha' and see how it goes.
