It wasn't bad per se but it was just too unoriginal and a bit clichéed.
It's precisely what you might expect from the cover if you had a bit of experience with the PNR genre.

One thing that I personally found a bit off-putting was all the wolf-howling during sex. And there is quite a bit of both.

The book could definitively have profited from another thorough editing pass. There are quite a few obvious and awkward sentence repetitions as well as repetitive and limited word choice.

It's not too heavy on the mates and mines and while the expected plot points are there, the order is somewhat- let's say unconventional.

Overall there just isn't anything novel or interesting here. ( )

Jaxon has been led to believe that a family double alphas were responsible for the deaths of his mother and the previous alpha and. They had been exiled from the pack and their revenge was killing Jackson‘s mother and the alpha of the pack alog with an attempd but foiled coup. Jaxon's father raised him with one purpose; to avenge his mother's death. The target of his hate is the sole living child of the people who killed his mother.
As it turns out that the child is now a grown woman who has not yet come into her powers. And everything that Jackson was told about his enemy seems to contradict what he sees in his recon of her. She does not seem to be evil nor does she seem like a fraud.

Evie is in dire straits; she is living when beyond her means and she can no longer afford her fancy apartment and car. Even though all she needs to pay for them are maintenance and utilities, she still needs to find a way to make more money because her job as a nurse in a senior care facility doesn't pay much.

At the urging of her friend decides to take on a tenant, but every interaction with her potential flatmate leaves her bristling even though she cannot deny how good-looking he is. He does not come across as a nice guy but she has no choice. She reluctantly takes Jaxon on but little does she know that she is inviting her enemy into her own home. Jaxon must find a way to neutralize Evie before she turns into a full-blown double alpha but every instinct goes against his wishes. Something does not add up with what he has been told and what he sees when he is with her. Even more shocking is that she is completely unaware that she is a wolf. His decision to help her sets off a chain of events that reveal secrets that both he and his father were unaware of.
