A bad bargain.
A botched bounty
A binding bite.
Adam knew bounty hunting in another pack’s territory had risks, but being at the end of a shotgun for a forced mating was not one he expected. At least it wasn’t permanent. Once he paid the promised cut of the bounty the leader of Pine Hollow would dissolve the mating. Adam just needed to keep his hands (and his teeth) away from the enticing omega.
Ricky knew nothing about the outside world, but he knew his days at Pine Hollow were numbered. The barren, widowed omega’s best chance for survival was to find a mate at Lone Wolves Ranch. Anyone would do. Anyone but the ornery wolf who bit him. Adam said he didn’t want a mate, so why was he acting like a knot-blocker?
The Alpha’s Shotgun Mating is the second book in the Lone Wolves Ranch series. It can be read as a stand-alone though secondary character’s lives continue from The Cub Club.
This is the second book in this series and while I read the previous in the series before I don’t think it was necessary to understand this book. Man, Adam sure made it hard to like him throughout this book until he finally got himself together. Ricky has so much to look forward to away from Pine Hollow but he doesn’t know if he will continue to have this freedom and happiness.
I loved Ricky’s excitement and joy at the new things he discovers when he leaves with Adam and his team. And no matter the new things he finds and learns about he doesn’t embrace everything fully. I love that he continues to use a treadle sewing machine because he feels like the electric one is too harsh or that he doesn’t prefer the overhead lights since he never had electricity before.
I loved how he flourished when Adam really accepted their connection and became successful with his sewing. I like how open those at Lone Wolf Ranch are and look forward to seeing more of this pack in the future.
The cover art is nice, though that baby sure has a mean look on his face.
