When I first started reading the Tri-Omega Series I missed this spin-off book so to go back and read about these two's beginning was interesting.If I hadn't already been aware of this world the beginning would have totally thrown me. It was almost like jumping right into the middle of something without being aware of what's going on.. oh wait.. scratch the almost..I quickly got a grasp on it. I had fun reading on what they went through to get to where they are later in the Tri-Omega Series. Sasha, an omega, was stuck in an outdated thinking pack with an obsessive alpha. After meeting his mate Vadim his alpha freaks out and attacks Sasha. Vadim, like any good alpha mate, protects his new mate and tears alpha and betas apart. He learns later (having forgotten this fact in the heat of the moment) that he is now the new alpha of Vouderla Pack.Vadim has a lot of work ahead of him to turn this pack around from all the more extreme and unjust laws the previous alpha had going on. Dealing with a few major troublemakers along the way and helping Sasha believe in his own worth makes for an interesting trip. When I first looked at the cover for this book I was like.."Meh...The title looks boots, I mean..meh." But I was pleasantly surprised. This story is very sweet. I really enjoyed Sasha and Vadim and their relationship. Normally I tend to get a bit bored with LAFS/Instant bond relationships, but this one didn't seem forced or unnatural. It was really refreshing to see a Alpha/Omega relationship where there was equal footing.I really liked the fact that even though Sasha was the Omega of the pack and the weakest, he not only stood up and talked back to his mate,but he ended up defending his mate. I only really had a couple of issues with the story.The timeline of the story was a bit disjointed. For a while we'd be int eh same stream of time, then jump to days and weeks in the future without explanation. I also didn't like the step up/resolution of Sasha's backstory. It was terribly anti-climactic.Overall, a nice quick read.
What do You think about My Lupine Lover (2009)?
Horrible editing and an unsatisfying porn to plot ratio rates this book 2 stars.
