This weekend I read a couple of books, but the best by far was Bitter Disenchantment: A Coveted Novella by Shawntelle Madison. Aggie is the daughter of the wolf pack Alpha, but her father is abusive, cruel and manipulative. Maggie has watched him physically and mentally abuse her mother, the servants and herself. So when he arranges a marriage for her to an Alpha from another pack she is not happy. She tries to get to know her "Fiance" , but comes to see that he is just as bad as her father. Aggie's father wants to use her for her Alpha blood lines, but he underestimates the spirit that comes with her heritage. Desperate to escape the living hell she sees her mother in, Aggie begins to use that true Alpha within to find a way to escape after her father has her confined to her room until the marriage. She even goes so fat as to do something unthinkable. (I want to spoil it for you, but I just can't. You have to read it.!)
This isn't one of those Happily Ever After romances, but it is sooo good that I encourage everyone to read it. Aggie's s story has a bit of everything from tragedy, to intrigue and then on to a great ending with a bit of a twist. This is one of those books you read, then keep and read it again later. Madison tells a great story that draws you in and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end. I found myself cheering for Aggie as I read, her spirit and independence are inspiring. All I can say is: "You go girl!!!"
